Then there are geniuses in here parroting other things they've read about deaths from heart disease or drunk driving and act like its the same thing as a kid walking through hallways shooting people at will.

I don't think anyone on this board is acting like it didn't happen. I for one, am on the side that says we need some common sense gun laws that really address how easily the mentally ill are getting a hold of firearms. Banning so-called "assault weapons" is totally unrealistic though, when you figure how many are already out on the street. That ship has sailed. The kid who committed this particular atrocity had tons of red flags on him for years and he was still able to walk into a school and murder people. The real issue is, that he shouldn't have had any access to any weapons with his past of violence and threats. Something needs to be done about keeping any guns away from people like this, instead of limiting the rights of all gun owners.
