Good thing we can't limit the 2nd amendment. But

maybe a good guy with a gun could have stopped or prevented this.

only prayers, though? what about thoughts? if i'm not thinking when i'm praying, does it still work? have we advanced our gun victim prayer infrastructure to the point that gun victim thoughts are no longer required? what if i worshipped Ares -- wouldn't those prayers just amount to praying for additional violence? seems like our Lords and Masters should be more selective about which deities are acceptable recipients of our gun victim prayers....
