Gee Who Could Have Predicted?: Gun control calls follow shooting from Democrats

While they are at it, how about movie controls, post grad scholarship controls, nut case controls (that would eliminate more than half the government).

Gun control calls follow shooting, but few expect major changes - TheHill.com

A handful of Democrats are pressing for tougher gun laws in the wake of the Colorado movie theater shootings that left 12 people dead.
Moving such bills has become extraordinarily difficult on Capitol Hill because of powerful gun rights allegiances, however, and Republican strategists predicted the latest gun violence was unlikely to lead to significant changes.
Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) — whose husband was killed and son seriously injured in a 1993 shooting on a Long Island commuter train — told reporters on Friday that the National Rifle Association (NRA) and other opponents of gun control have a simple but effective strategy following gun violence tragedies.

“They will wait it out, wait it out, wait it out, until people forget about it again, until another tragedy happens like last night,” said McCarthy. “We should be proactive before another tragedy happens.

Note that McCarthy is a dullard, who's husband may not have been shot by the racist black mass, murder, Colin Ferguson, had New York City and Long Island not had stringent gun control laws. If passengers on that train been allow to carry concealed weapons, Ferguson would have most likely been stopped or would not have even chanced the killings where the odds were against him not being shot!
