Since then, an American child has died by a gun every other day (http://tinyurl.com/zmsb36d), and the nation's four biggest gun makers have raked in $632M in profits (http://tinyurl.com/qjdfyp2).

I am joined by callers as we discuss and react to the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon today where 10 people were killed and 7 were injured (initial reports had varying incorrect numbers).
