I'm feeling mean, so I'm going to say something that probably isn't true. Well, a couple of somethings.
1) Does it seem that the Boston bombings have taken attention off the fight for our second amendment rights? Isn't that convenient for Obama?
2) What do you think the odds of evidence being "discovered", that ties the attack to a pro-second amendment group?
I know its not true, or shouldn't be true, but the idea was twisting in my mind, and I had to get it out.

It's effecting immigration reform and a host of other issues as well. The initial indicators I see are towards a lone wolf attacker with sympathies towards Islamic extremist causes, not domestic.

I think that gun owners are more focused...and the media agrees...than the American public.

Most Americans had already forgotten about Sandy Hook and were more worried about "Dancing With The Stars."

This may remind them that people who want to kill, will, and it's going to be done by people with engineering degrees, not by some some closet commando pimply faced high school kid who can't get laid.

Remove the boldest part and you would be right. Killings will ALWAYS continue; and they will be carried out by anyone with the will and desire - or motive - to do so. The tools of the trade are just that: tools.

Sure, but 2A is #3 in line for media doom and gloom. #1) Comlete saturation of Boston Bomb/DC Risin #2) Korea and eminent global nuclear war #3) 2A

I've heard a number of places talking about the growing population of Muslims in the southern states - I was actually pondering what would happen if it were both domestic and Islamic extremist. That could possibly be the most damaging possibility to our civil rights ever.
