The Arizona Shootings: Getting to the Missing Point --- "It's Guns, Stupid" (Matlin)
The repercussions and the debate around this episode will continue for years. But you can be certain that a question poseed elsewhere --- “Where did the alleged attacker Jared Lee Loughner get the gun?” --- will not be a priority in America. From The New York Times to The Washington Post to CNN and MNSBC, this query was not being posed, let alone answered. No one wants to touch the subject of gun ownership. It has become the third rail of politics.
