Well you know by now how this is gonna work:

[PCIntern]

1. NRA will lay low for a while and during this time
2. RWers like Joe Scar will come out for background checks, gun show regs, the usual, but this
3. Is to mollify people like (some of) us who are spitting mad...again.
4. After a time, further betrayal by our legislators as per usual will occur.
5. Joey Scar and his ilk will take their collective feet off the accelerator.
6. Rinse.
7. Repeat next time.

1. In other news, the NRA has announced that enough time has passed and we can now discuss ....

... what happened at Ford's Theater.

[Jefferson23]

2. Gut wrenching to listen to one of the victims Dad, as not much will likely change. n/t

[Agschmid]

3. Yup. It's horrible.

[Jefferson23]

4. It's too much, all of it, we'll end up with a significant percentage of our population traumatized

for years to come if we don't change.

3 guns, 400 rounds of ammunition which the killer purchased legally. I won't comment
yet on his diagnosis, far too soon and not enough information but it concerns me
greatly to see Aspergers being blamed on the surface. He may very well have this
diagnosis, and ALSO have comorbid conditions. Bottom line regardless, easy access
to the guns, over and over again.

9. Don't forget, some crazed NRA member (is that redundant?) will tell this father

that his child never existed, and was just invented in order to discredit the gun-humper crowd.

'Cause apparently, that's what they do now...

[aikoaiko]

5. Reportedly the guns were purchased legally by the shooter in a decidedly anti-NRA state.

Its not so clear what laws other than bans and confiscations might have stopped this one.

But as usual the facts are slow to reveal themselves and we may learn more about how this could have been prevented.

[hack89]

6. So use the quiet time to propose a law that would have prevented this

A narrow specific law not already in effect in California that you can use to attack the NRA.

[villager]

7. You forgot about the rote gun proliferationist apologias being posted here....

...before the blood has even cooled on the sidewalk....

[n2doc]

8. Also: RW'ers whine about lack of mental health care in US

while not lifting a finger to do anything about it.

[wandy]

10. You forgot one. Gun sails will go up because this.............

false flag attack is just to get support for Obama to take our guns.
