as the shock of the "Dark Knight" shooting fades, America will likely have no new gun-control laws to prevent such tragedies from occurring again.

That is as far as I chose to read.
Whatever the good intentions, I reject unconditionally that a fundamental Constitutional right can be cancelled based entirely on (ignorant) opinion.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to educate the morons about history, culture, the social contract and human nature.

HELL NO!!

. . . America will likely have no new gun-control laws to prevent such tragedies from occurring again.

That's actually a true statement. Because gun-control laws do not and have never prevented these tragedies at all.

They simply make it more likely that the body count will be higher because they make it less likely that an armed and well-regulated citizen will take the perp out.

Imagine having laws written and changed based on daily news headlines.
