On Monday, September 16, 2013, a gunman entered the Washington Navy Yards and began a shooting rampage in which a dozen were killed and still more were wounded. As America watched in horror, President Barack Hussein Obama delivered a televised rant, attacking Republicans, conservatives, and of course, the law-abiding firearms owners who might have helped to stop the carnage, had they been allowed.
The National Rifle Association has a practice of not talking politics on the day that such events unfold. Even though such occasions are invariably excellent examples of the need for gun ownership by the law-abiding in particular, the need for both open carry and concealed carry both the Second Amendment lobbyists and most conservative politicians try to avoid political arguments during these shootings. They try to give the country time to absorb, time to breathe, sometimes time to mourn, before discussing the political implications.
Democrat politicians feel bound by no such rules of decorum.

Di Leo: Righteous Anger at Leftist Partisanship - Illinois Review
Federal and State gov'ts are releasing criminals by the thousands. There are not enough psychiatric units to treat the mentally impaired, and gangs are taking over towns and cities. Chicago is a city under siege by gangs. Detroit is a ghost town. Yet the Democrat led administrations within D.C., Chicago, Detroit and other cities with the strongest gun laws in America now claim the need for more, thus leaving the honest Americans at the mercy of criminals. I understand that the Governor of Illinois now is seeking to impose martial law in Chicago by activating the National Guard.
