     Patricia J. Williams, a contributor to The Nation, penned a column on guns in schools that reached print days before the shootings in Parkland, Florida.  It was prophetic yet not so prophetic.  No crystal ball is needed to predict mass shootings in America.  They’re so common that any commentary on gun control is bound to fall close in time to one of them.
