He's right, of course. Its way past time to work on saving lives instead of killing more people.
But, the gun nutters have been more than happy to stand on the bodies of dead children to screech for more guns for the worst in our population. If Sandy Hook didn't make them demand responsible gun ownership, its not going to change now.
You know how it goes, Luddly.....if President Obama had said nothing, there would have been a thread just as long....just as faux outraged...by the usual suspects bemoaning his lack of leadership.
This is not an issue for the POTUS to get involved as far as an emotional knee jerk reaction.
The Presidential thing to do would be for the President without fan fare or under the eye of the media to wait a few days and then contact the immediate relatives of the dead, offer condolences and then meet with Senate and House leadership and discuss the issue.
Obama would be wise to leave his emotions in the East Wing and do his job.....
