Also look for this to be a campaign weapon for Obama and Clinton, among others who don't believe in 2nd amendment rights.
...And they'll get votes for it to from the ignorant masses.
The leftists and their allies in the media were already making this a gun control issue before the police secured the campus yesterday.
The Democrats stand to lose a lot if they make an issue of gun control. It is one of the reasons they lost the Congress in 1994. It is one of the reasons Al Gore didn't win a couple of more states in 2000.
The Democrats only won Congress in 2006 because they ran as moderates and conservatives. They didn't run as liberals and leftists.
The new Democrat Senator from Virginia is very pro 2nd Amendment (his aide was arrested for bringing a gun into the Capital building a couple of weeks ago).
The media will be pushing big time for gun control. It doesn't mean the Democrats will play along. Some will, many will not.
Some Republicans (RINO's) may go along with it.

One member reported that in a discussion a lady told him that guns should be banned. He countered with Koreans should be banned. It makes about the same amount of sense. I thought that was priceless.
