It is easy to be pro gun control when you are surrounded by armed bodyguards..

Yep, yet another mass shooting in a gun-free zone, and all this pinhead can do is bleat for even MORE restrictions on law-abiding gun owners.

“Do as I say peasants, not as I do!” This is the law of the land now, if you think these elites are going to allow this country to have the same freedoms we once had you’re a fool! Be they Republican or Democrat, their aim is the same: total control! Bow down before the politician who fears neither God nor his or her constituent, for they know what’s best, yet they require complete submission without nary a defense nor freedom of speech!

The title doesn’t really match the first line. Did he ask about guns or mass shootings?

yep.. Obama will come down on the exact wrong side of this.. He’ll react like a child all the while he’ll cynically use this event in every speech...

meanwhile Romney will call for cool heads, and Obama will mock that..

Obama had hoped to do the same with FAst and Furious. He now has his campaign twist... take away the guns..

meanwhile, there are just as many democrat gun owners, so it won’t work.

Ask him how much good the very strict handgun control in Ontario did recently.

If there were more law abiding citizens carrying there might have been less killed and wounded and no need for a trial.

They are going to do nothing and in reality there is nothing correct that they can do.
Guns exist. The really are not that hard to make. There are BILLIONS of them all over the world.
What needs to be done is to correct our economy and repair our society.
Oh and try this piece of crap convict him and execute him publically within 6 months of his sentence.

One of my thoughts was that this would be used for justifying TSA-like checkpoints at public venues like movie theaters, sporting events, malls, etc.

The real issue is why were there not enough or any armed citizens present to take out this monster when he began his rampage. One man with a 1911 and a spine and this would be a story of heroism and not a story about the slaughter of innocents.

New York City has approxiamtely 3 gun related deaths a day. What is that POS going to do about it since his call to bans guns has already been done there?

After all the knee jerking is past:

What sort of stricter controls would have prevented this? None that I can think of. While talking about controls might make for high readings on the warm & fuzzy meter the truth is life is dangerous. Nothing can mitigate that single fact. The govt can’t guarantee your safety. Once you realize this one can only conclude more arms are wanted along w/ vigilance.
