I heard and read that after Columbine, 9/11, Aurora and others. The anti-gunners will attempt to use this massacre by a psycho as a political football and it will get thrown back in their faces......again.

This time things are going to be different. Just watch.

In 1994 Clinton picked a fight with the NRA and got his ass handed to him in the following mid-term elections, an election often touted as the "revenge of the Angry White Male". So chagrined were the democrats by this beating that the fled from their platform of gun control. Mass shootings came and went with nary a peep from the Democrats.

One month ago Democrats learned a valuable lesson. With changing demographics on their side, they learned that they can lose the "Angry White Male" vote by huge numbers and still win elections. Who are the primary supporters of gun rights and the NRA? White males. White males that the Democrats are going to be less fearful of pissing off because they now know they can still win without us.

I will be very surprised if Obama sits by and does nothing this time around. He's got nothing to lose and the ethnic and gender demographics who elected him will support him on this. I hope I'm wrong but I smell a fight in the air and after looking at the recent election results, I am not confident we'll be able to win this time around. Now might be a good time to make some of those purchases you've been holding off on.

Also the NRA went “all in” to beat Obama this time.

I am a member and the magazines, news letters, e-mails, etc., were all “we have to stop Obamma”.

So, yes, it is all-out war, and NRA is about all we have.

NRA has to get out message of arming teachers & principals and/or putting armed police in schools.

They put armed air marshalls on airplanes to deter hijackers. Armed guards in government buildings, court houses, banks..

Why invite these freaks to schools where it is a a known “no gun” zone?

You are correct. Unfortunately, some type of new federal gun control laws are inevitible.

The smart thing to do is to come out in support of a law of our own which will be less restrictive than the other side’s, otherwise we will be stuck with the harsher law. Sadly, we will probably be saddled with the harsher one because of the zealotry of the extremists on both sides.

There will be a fight alright, but Obama doesn't and won't control the house.
