I don't think this storm will just blow through, this was an entire classroom of kindergardners some mental reject killed this time, this is 9/11 order of magnitude for the gun politics issue in the U.S. Like another poster said, it probably won't be post-Port Arthur-or-Dunblane level, but a revamped and permanent AWB with magazine capacities reduced to no more than ten is coming. Meanwhile, nothing will be done to address the mental health issue. I think politicans of both parties are going to love this, as it means they can shift their focus away from a much more difficult and nationally-far-more-serious issue of working on a way to keep this declining superpower solvent.

Makes me think of that old Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times."
