Perdogg called it even when the Dems were celibrating the big win on this this weekend and late last week, many smiles and laughter on MSNBC over finally beating the NRA.
I think the bombing helped kill this bill that was already on life support. The Sandy Hook weeping (on camera) moms trying to keep it going are old news now. The Cameras have moved up to Boston.
Unlike Fort Hood and Benghazi, this affected 'regular' people here at home (not on a military base, not overseas) and at an event where they probably didn't give being attacked/maimed/killed a second thought. The illusion of 'safety' has been shattered (as it was on 9-11) and those bad, bad feelings are back. A harsh reminder "All the king's horses and all the king's men" can't keep us safe .... which leads to more and more folks coming to the realization they must protect themselves.
You got. Its like Boston broke the fever. No wonder obama looked so somber and unemotional at the monday statement reading. They had the whole week scheduled for photo ops/interviews.
There are three people dead in Boston from a pressure cooker bomb, including a sweet eight year old boy. Children are killed in many ways including the family automobile but no one talks about taking away our cars.
