A couple of great articles with perspective on the mass murders. This is such a terrible tragedy and unfortunately is "nothing new under the sun" Ecclesiastes 1:9. Take a look at this Wikipedia article on a very early mass murder in America dating back to the French/Indian War: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac%27s_Rebellion_school_massacre
Some additional reading.
Good article on the firearm issue:

Great article on the heart of the issue. I highly recommend this one!

One last thing I will say. I have observed a lot of discussion on Facebook between "friends" on the gun issue. I would encourage everyone to have an actual conversation about the issue, debate vigorously but don't divide.
