This could easily backfire on those who are immediately calling for gun control measures.

These politicians are elected as our leaders not as knee jerk over-reactionists looking to take advantage of horrible situations.

This murderer killed his own mother and stole her car and guns. Prior to his rampage these guns were providing her with protection. It just goes to show that its not the guns that did the killing but rather the individual.

The public is outraged and now falling into the impassioned calls for more government control instead of calls to remove the ridiculous "no guns" or "gun free" signs that are nothing more than advertisements for helplessness.
