Today's completely unnecessary tragedy. Shooting results in six dead at Sikh Temple in Wisconsin.

 At least six people were killed Sunday when a gunman opened fire at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee, and the suspected shooter later died in an exchange of gunfire with police, authorities said. 

Police were called to the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in the suburb of Oak Creek, where witnesses said several dozen people were gathering for a service. Authorities found four people dead inside the temple and two outside, Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt said. 

Sunny Singh, 21, of Milwaukee, said a friend pulled into the temple's parking lot, heard shots and saw two people fall down. The friend then saw the shooter reload his weapons and head to the temple's entrance, Singh said. 

The first police officer to arrive at the temple engaged in gunfire outside the building with a man police believe was the shooter, Wentlandt said. 

The suspect was killed, he said. Tactical units went through the temple, and authorities do not believe a second shooter was involved, Wentlandt said.

Of course sadly this will change nothing.  Even though this is all over the cable news channels right now, in a couple of days it will simply disappear, and not ONE law will be passed to protect American citizens from gun violence.

Instead the authorities will wring their hands and wonder at the individual's mental state, while making sure to say how much they support the 2nd Amendment. After all, "Guns don't kill people, people WITH fucking guns kill people!"

In other news, but on a similar topic, it looks like Gabby Giffords attacker will probably plead guilty on Tuesday.

Apparently in America it does not matter how many people, or even which people, are killed and wounded by gun violence.  Because there is NOTHING as important as making sure that those weapons remain accessible to the NEXT angry or insane person who might need them to murder his fellow citizens.
