Well, you may notice that the NRA has been silent on the issue. Many have taken that as a sign of guilt or fear, which could not be further from the truth.
They've simply chosen not to politicize the incident. Let the other side do it. To quote the Brady Campaign vastly out of context, "we're better than that."
There have been calls to close the gun show loophole, but the gun wasn't purchased at a gun show. There have been calls for background checks on private sales, but Lanza was denied on that same background check when he tried to purchase a gun at retail. There are calls to reintroduce the AWB, but that wouldn't have stopped Lanza from stealing the gun from someone who'd legally purchased it.
None of the laws they want would have stopped this.
