I just heard the host on TV interview program muse, "Since 1990, surveys have shown less and less support for stricter gun laws.  We'll see if that will change in light of this tragedy...."  The most visible anti-rights groups were exploiting the murder of children and schoolteachers within an hour of it happening.

    And the pro-rights side still has voices solemnly averring, "it's...too...soon."

    No.  It ain't.  The people most affected are barely going to notice the debate, except as they get trotted on screen and into print in support of the people who would take away your rights over the actions of a suicidal child-killer.  Meanwhile, every antigunner groups and every gun-hating or undecided pol in D.C. and the State capitols has his or her ear to the ground -- or up against the TV speakers.  If they believe they can use this tragedy to restrict your right to buy, keep and bear arms, they will leap at the chance.  They're not going to claim "It's too soon!"  Nope; the sooner, the better for their purposes.  Unopposed, they will act.
