Why all the drama and sympathy for 12 who were murdered in one attack,
when kids are getting their brains blown out every day, by the hundreds?

Where is that happening? Not in the United States, certainly, where the total number of
children under the age of 15 killed by firearms -- homicide, suicide, and accident combined
-- averages around 350 per *year*. That's less than *one* per day, not the "hundreds" of
your imagination.

Are there documented accounts of the GOOD GUYS stopping an assault with
automatic weapons?

Are there documented accounts of any assaults *occurring* in the United States with
automatic weapons? (Hint: educate yourself about the considerable difference between
"automatic" and "semi-automatic". You appear just as ignorant of that as you are of the
*actual* firearm death rates in this country.)
