So what will big brother do next?
TSA style pat downs and searches before going into theaters and malls?
Installation of DHS at theaters and malls?
Further curtailment of individual liberty?
Big brother never lets a crisis go to waste.
Nothing.
Bring the ban hammer down I'm guessen
My guess this event will be the rationale for a full-court press for the UN Gun Treaty. After al, "something" must be done....
In the 90s, with the advent of computers, the video games went from relatively harmless "pong" to "donkey kong" and progressed through "Duke Nukem" into "DOOM" and on and on.
In the meantime, movies have gotten much gorier and much more creative about ways in which human beings can be killed and their organs displayed in un-living color. I'd say instead of restricting firearms ownership, we should restrict the movies that Hollywood is allowed to make. Yeah, let's make that suggestion and listen to the Liberals howl.
It could be argued that Hollywood movies, with their emphasis on increasing levels of realistic violence, are at least as responsible for these types of mass killings as "the gun culture" of this country. Consider, incidents of seemingly senseless mass murders didn't start gaining notoriety until well after the '68 gun ban' (for purposes of "senseless" we'll exclude gangland violence of the Prohibition Era) and the progressive acceleration of governmental intrusion into its citizens' affairs.
Up until the mid-60s, we didn't have wholesale violence even in Chicago, and the retail violence that occurred was mainly confined to the more rundown areas of the City and largely unremarked in the Suburbs.
In the late 60s we started seeing movies that began to be more "realistic" in their blood and gore quotients. (Biker movies and Vietnam war movies come to mind)

Liberals would be right to oppose Federal censorship. Should we ban certain books too?
