Presumably we'll now get a push for universal federal background checks—just like the one Aaron Alexis passed to get his CCW permit.

So, we have background checks for Navy, security clearance, and CCW permit. But background checks on private sales will end mass shootings!

So, we also know that Alexis bought a shotgun legally from a dealer and that he passed the mandatory federal background check there, too.

Enforce existing law. RT @ericinva: How in the hell did someone arrested for shooting out someone's tires in 2004 get a security clearance?

"Only the police and the military should have guns." "A veteran stole an "assault weapon" from a cop and shot up a Navy base." ". . ."

Seriously, what could new laws do? Alexis passed a bunch of background checks and bought a shotgun that is legal in England from a dealer.

Alexis followed the Joe Biden model: He bought a shotgun and submitted to a federal background check. But this is the NRA's fault.

Obama could have got his entire gun-control package through, and this wouldn't have changed. Who on the Left has the guts to admit it?

Congress could have passed background checks for private sales, magazine limits, "assault weapons" ban. Today would have been identical.

It'll be interesting to see what the line is tomorrow. They can't say "assault weapon!" Nor "background checks!" Nor "big magazines!"
