Yesterday's fatal shootings* at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Johnson Space Center will undoubtedly be overshadowed by the even more tragic events at Virginia Tech a few days before. I guess we will have to file this incident, in which a contract employee managed to smuggle a hand gun into an allegedly secure Federal facility, in the already overcrowded guns-don't-kill-people folder.
*Note: I found the sub head to this Houston Chronicle article ("It's not known why contractor took gun to work") curious. You would think that people in Texas would understand that he did so because it was his God given right and that by doing so he was helping to keep the workplace safe!
