Sure didn't take the politicians long to start grabbing the spotlight.

As disgusting as it is to see them crawl out of the woodwork, their opposition would take them to task for not doing it had they not.

You can either exploit it for your own attention, or your opponent in the next election will run an attack ad about how you did nothing.

Integrity in politics is long gone.

You're an idiot.  Nobody but the fringe wants to get rid of the guns.  Fringe, like the tea party; nobody pays them any attention.  The people who are looking for an actual solution want mental health screenings (for the PEOPLE), registrations (for the PEOPLE), buy-back programs (for the PEOPLE), gun training (for the PEOPLE), and bans on assault weapons.  But sure, keep spouting "guns don't kill people, people do!" like it's an original idea.

The assault weapons ban in '94 did squat, so here we are again. Be it blamed on lack of parental guidance or blamed on video games or a host of other reasons this is nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction and gun grabbers like Feinstein and Schumer want to take advantage of it.

Well simple,if the gun nuts get there way my 22 long rifle would be considered an assult weapon, because its a semi auto, every time I pull the trigger it shoots. The anti gun nuts think all the guns should be banned. I spent 22 yrs carring a full auto  M-16 I know what damage they can do? But in the right hands thay are safe.

I think the two big questions that have arisen from this mess are:

1) Why was someone that obviously volatile and dangerous NOT in an institution, and

2) Why did Mom have an assault rifle, knowing how volatile and dangerous her kid was?

Simple, actually the headline I read said: Feinstein leads Democratic Senators in call to renew gun debate--vows legislation. Didnt see anything from the fringe you are talking about!  Besides this horrific incident has nothing to do with politics...leave it alone.
Look what happened in China that same morning! A knife wielding guy attacks 23 primary school students after first assaulting an adult. Fortunately no one was killed. BUT...the point is it doesnt matter if its guns or knives or an idiot driving a bus into a school...if someone wants to do it they will find a way.  
You are right though about the mental health issue. But thats a slippery slope too.  What yard stick do we use to measure that with?

The assault weapons ban expired in 2004, but the assault weapons he used would have been included in the ban were it still in effect today.
