I wish I could have some optimism here. After Sandy Hook, NOTHING happened. So what could happen now? I am guessing we will be sitting here one year from now and we will see that almost nothing has happened in terms of changing the laws since this horrific shooting.
Literally within a couple of hours, a senator (State or Federal, I don't recall) was posting something online about how people shouldn't jump to conclusions about changing gun laws in light of the incident.
Keno is righty to call the gun industry evil, because that's what it is!
Amazingly, guns sales spike after shootings like this - for 2 reasons. People want to protect themselves from shooters, and they fear that laws could change so they want to obtain the weapon now.
In the country I am from there are far, far fewer mass shootings, and I still think there are too many here. People should look at Japan. You can own guns, but there is a huge amount of regulation and oversight for the process and continued ownership.
Its just crazy that in the USA a kid can buy an assault rifle on his 18th birthday. But they can't go and have a beer in a bar!
