Last week's tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut has launched a national debate about gun control and mental health policy in the United States.  Sadly, this editorial from National Review Online injected an ugly gender thread into the conversation.  Our take: The editorial is both unfortunate and inaccurate.  However, it cannot undermine the bravery and heroism of women like Victoria Soto, Dawn Hochsprung, and Mary Scherlach who died protecting their students.  Our hearts go out to the victims and their families.
