Why would he need to do that? The only one with a gun was the criminal. Which is exactly as it should be with all the laws prohibiting the honest citizens from carrying.

Firearms are already unconstitutionally controlled throughout Illinois.

Does anyone know if the NIU shooter had a FOID?

My guess is that the murderer is another liberal gone wild, and this will get hushed up like all the other mass murders committed by lib sounding nuts. The most famous being the creeps from Columbine who’s manifesto sounded like a “diversity” class’ synopsis.

Please do. And by doing that, he will lose congress for Democrats in the process. Alot of those Fish that gave them the majority ran in support of the second amendment and even received NRA endorsements.

It just shows that liberals in the MSM like Andrea Mitchell have no clue what the country thinks south of Potomic and east of of the California coast line.

Baby Face Andrea should have suggested that geeks stay away from the pretty girls. That way a boys’ heart can’t get broken by some manipulative wench.

Or she could have just as easily suggested that college girls bed down these stressed-out dudes and prevents mass shootings.

Either way makes as much sense as an even more restrictive gun control scheme.

This seems to be one of those things McCain will stay mute on. Start talking RKBA and he will lose his mushy middle moderates and libs.

I bet NIU was a gun-free zone.

Somebody bite the bullet and bring that up to him. For the children (to make sure they may carry on campus in every state of the Union)

OK, let Obama win.

Or Hillary.

I hope the Democrats do advocate gun control before the election, because the issue will bite them in the ass.

Hold your nose and vote McCain.

That's how the GOP got into the mess they are in as it is, holding their nose and voting for people we don't really want, just because they have an R for their party.

I'm not voting McCain, or anyone else pre-printed on the ballot.

The country got into the mess it is in by people refusing to vote for someone with a R beside his name in 1992, and the hissy fit thrown in 2006 certainly hasn’t helped things.

While we are talking about Obama, check out this video on YouTube. Who knows if it is true or a Clinton plant. Interesting, none the less.

This shooting could put new pressure to change the laws in IL to allow for CCW.

It is going to come out more and more that there was a “break-up” in a relationship that caused the shooter to go off his meds. Plus he planned this shooting on Valentine’s Day.

I have to ask, are you living in Illinois?

I would say that exactly the opposite will happen.

“It sure seems odd that publicized acts of gun violence sure amazingly appear to increase when we enter a political season - particularly every 4 years or so...”

It would be interesting if someone could research that and graph it. If it turned out to be true...well, that would be a real conspiracy theory.
