Conneticuit Shooting / Fiscal Cliff... distraction?

If this horrible incident in Newtown was, in fact, a psy-op... could it be not just meant as a way to enact gun bans, but also as a means to distract the sheep from the looming fiscal cliff?

From what I had seen, they are nowhere near finished with debating this issue, and I'd be very surprised if they are able to come up with any solution in light of what has happened. The fiscal cliff will be thrown on the back burner, supplanted by the "need" for urgent gun control bans.

I'm surprised I haven't seen this correlation drawn yet on here. This way neither side has to upset their base when taxes are hiked up on everybody at the start of next year!
