The guys in DC have no interest in actually trying to maybe figure out a way to stop tragedies like this, and nothing on the block now that I hear on the news will prevent it, or really has anything to do with it, its just politics.
Everything they are talking about on the news CT already has on the books in terms of gun laws. The only one I'm a bit concerned about is the silly "hi cap" mag laws that are circulating around. In reality a nation wide AWB might actually be good for me. No longer will CT residents have to import say a Scar17 threw round about channels, now it will be super easy. Same with AK's and a few other rifles.

On the other hand by waiting through another period of relative peace, the motivation to get something done slowly fades away. The next tragedy happens and there is collective guilt about not doing anything. Then indeed the victims will be our modern day sacrificial lambs, the price of business as usual.
