you know they have to do something, public outcry and all. and restricting guns is the easiest thing to address. i'm sure you'll get to keep most if not all of your arsenal. and soon there will be another shooting/bombing/mass casualty event and they'll realize (hopefully) they were going at it the wrong way. i'm not sure what the answer is. things like this are just always going to happen. you can't control all the factors in events like that.This is the mental disconnect: They are aware that gun laws will not work, but will vote to remove your rights any way. Since gun ownership isn't important to them, they will gladly throw your rights under the bus.
“Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother’s sword has been sheathed in a brother’s breast and that the once-happy plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?” - George Washington, 1777

It's typical "magical - wishful" thinking that many people feel compelled to engage in.
