The shooter is from a liberal state (NJ) and commits the atrocity in another liberal state (Conn). But the powers that be will hail this as a problem that only the federal government can solve by passing a national firearms ban. They won’t let this crisis “go to waste”.

I always find it ironic that people from liberal places blame availability of guns in non-liberal places for their tragedies, but they never stop to ask why such tragedies seldom happen in those same non-liberal places they're blaming....

It's the easy way out, the intellectually lazy way of looking at things. It is the reason the TSA strip-searches little kids and grandmothers, looking for "things". Liberals always want to blame "things", and look to solve problems by dealing with those things. They fail to see the real reason. The Israelis take a different approach. They look for the person, not the thing.

My guess is that the liberals will use this tragedy to further their gun control political agenda. Never mind that the state laws in both NJ and CT are tough on gun control. Schools are already "Gun-Free, Weapons-Free" zones. Really does a lot of good, doesn't it? Shows how ineffective controlling things is. You've got to deal with the person, not the things.
