Flair Underwood, Don't worry, you didn't offend me. I'm not a big pharma fan. Unfortunately, however, they have become a necessary part of our medical system because they are the primary drivers of research and development that leads to new therapies, so they have to remain profitable. This could be solved readily by making a huge investment into increasing research funding support through the NIH and NSF, but that ain't gonna happen. Regardless of political party, there hasn't been a single administration in decades that has made federal research funding a priority, and that is a major disappointment to people like me. It means we all spend most of our time writing grants that only have a 10% chance of being funded, and even if they are funded they don't provide enough money to cover the full expenses of the research project.

Thanks everyone e. We're in shock. We really thought he was okay and just sequestered because he witnessed it, but that's not the case. He leaves behind 6 children. I'm so sad for them, and everyone else affected by gun violence. Like I think frecklesnbrains said, it's an everyday occurrence. It's so sad.
origamimommy- I'm so sorry to hear your tragic news. It is just awful what keeps happening in this country. I teach a government class, and I don't usually share my opinion, but today I couldn't hold back anymore. I just don't get guns.

Thank you all for your thoughts. We've organized a fundraiser for her, and it's been shared by Perez Hilton, and one republic donated $10k. The response has been overwhelming and we're doing everything we can to help. Thanks for your support.
I can't deal... Fucking gun laws in this country. Did anyone see the onion article that was titled, "There's no way to prevent this, says only country where mass shootings regularly occur." It was so on point.

How awful, I'm so sorry about your friend. It is wonderful that people are coming together to help them, so sad that it is necessary to support six children and a wife left behind.

I have no idea how Common Sense gun laws aren't a readily accepted thing. It boggles my mind. I heard a sad woman call into NPR today and said, "If Sandy Hook didn't change gun culture in America, this isn't going to either." So sad.

After Sandy Hook , I figured we were never going to get any where with effective gun legislation. If massacred children and school teachers didn't make people want to make changes, I am not sure what will. It is sickening.
