Why wouldnt senators and representatives offer their thoughts and prayers? Thats the right thing to do. I dont know a single person involved in the tradegy, but I offered my thoughts and prayers.... But until there is an issue and he starts bringing up gun bans, (which is not gonna happen) MAYBE an assault weapon bans, but again, that has been a law until 2010, so not sure why everyone is acting like that would be the end of the world, why get so paranoid and worked up about it...I heard people say the 2nd admendment was to protect us against the government, and who wants to fight the gov with a rifle, or a shotgun.TRUE, however, I wouldnt want to fight the gov with an AR 15 or an AK 47 with a 30 round clip, the government has tanks and apachie helicopters, fighter jets, ect. If a war broke out between the civilians and the gov, it dont matter what kind of guns the public has, the gov has bigger and better guns. Its not like the old days when the only thing available is a black powder muzzle loader and it was an even playing field. Civilians will not be able to defeat the government if all hell breaks loose, thats just the sad facts.

Matt, I agree he has done nothing to this point to bring up gun control laws. Maybe it's due to him needing to get re-elected but this occurance is the very thing that turned the tide in Australia when they banned guns.
You haven't seen the NRA comment yet. Maybe they know this is no time to play politics. Not so for the anti-gun folks.
The one thing I did notice was the overwhelming twitter comments from senators and representatives offering their thoughts and PRAYERS.
Mcveigh killed 19 children ( under 6) along with 149 others and never used an assault weapon.
We need to rething 'main-streaming' the mentally ill.
