If voters now support candidates who promise to get semi-automatic weapons banned, maybe some good could actually come out of this tragedy.
What do you think?
According to recent polls:
"Most gun owners support some gun controls"

and:
"Despite their differences, 62 percent of Americans agree that semi-automatic weapons should be banned."

Obama has recently taken a stand and stated that AK 47s are for soldiers, not criminals.
However, Romney has openly stated: "I don't support new gun laws"See:

3. How? Gun sales are now at record sales after the CO massacre.

And there is no doubt in my mind that there will be more mass shootings with this new craze of gun buying. What the hell is wrong with America?

4. More voters will support candidates who get semi-automatic weapons banned
