I expect worse than that. It will be open season on the second amendment.

You know the left is going to do its damnedest to reap a political harvest from of Giffords’ shooting. Gun control, web IDs, and just cheap propaganda seem very predictable right now.

While I agree with you that would be their ultimate goal, you have to remember that liberals have learned well from the last 50 years that incrementalism is the key to their success. That, plus the fact they are not in 'full' control of the legislative process any more.

They realize that even with a national furor over this incident, the drastic step of full ban or national ID would be impossible. So, they'll opt for the incrementalism - ban on extended mags, then mags that protrude, mags more than 5 cartridges, then down to 3, etc.... If he recently purchased the weapon, you may see a simultaneous call for extended waiting periods, etc.......It is their way.
