Actually, Let’s Politicize Mass Shootings

From The Washington Free Beacon via H/T at Instapundit:

Thirdly, on the slight off-chance all this screaming into the void by a bubble of liberals actually convinces leftwing politicians who also inhabit the bubble to attempt to overreach on the gun issue, I’m not too worried. Indeed, as someone who would like to see a Republican president in 2016, I kind of hope the Democratic Party decides to support an Australian-style confiscatory gun policy. Not only will it never pass constitutional muster, it will enrage the base of the Republican Party and convince them to set aside their worries about whichever establishment RINO the party elders pick in secret (and then, you know, convince the base to vote for in the primaries) and back the team wholeheartedly. If you want to guarantee that Hillary Clinton loses, liberals, press her to call for stricter gun laws and hint that you want to take their Glocks from them. That’s about the only way you’re going to blow 2016.
