As Rahm Emanuel (formerly President Obama’s Chief of Staff) once put it: One should never let a good crisis (or, in this case, a tragedy) go to waste...
Unfortunately, they are in charge. They make the laws. They vote on the laws. They decide who has to follow the laws.
Fortunately at his core I suspect Barry lacks the cojones for such a confrontation.
Solving problems? What would be the point of that? Then they’d have to find something new to bitch and demagogue about. They make sure to find “solutions” that will perpetuate problems, not solve them.
If, by accident, they do solve something, they do their best to pretend that it’s still an ongoing problem. Stem cell research no longer requires the destruction of human embryos, so they pretend that the right is preventing stem cell research by opposing the destruction of human embryos. Segregation is a thing of the past, so they continue to call conservatives racists for opposing affirmative action. Polution is a mere fraction of what it was back in the day, so they invent global warming. Nothing ever gets solved if they can help it, even if it is already solved.
After we control guns, we can ban them.....than we can ban knives......than we can find a way to ban fists.....so a murderer goes on a rampage which means we must have national legislation anon! Nothing like exploiting a mass murder in Connecticut to burden people in Arizona.
You have a loner, who is into Goth which promotes death and torture among other very dark topics, a single parent, and more than likely on psychotropic drugs prescribed by a psychiatrist and there is your recipe for this disaster.
Go back and look at some of the school shooting in the past. The perpetrators were on prescription medicine.
Instead of banning guns we need to ban the over prescribing of drugs to our youth. Also if your going to be a parent accept the job of raising your children properly.
