For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

Tony Long

We're going to start planning it two weeks after this one is over. Tom Glennon (director of the Georgia Children's Museum) has already come to me with the idea of a children's division, both films made by children and directed at children as an audience. We may even show them at the museum.

This idea that you can somehow create an atmosphere around people who are already respectful of the law and superimpose this blanket (handgun) ban as a solution -- a one size fits all, cookie-cutter approach -- is an absolute abysmal failure. It's publicly misleading and it doesn't drill down into the real problem.
