Also, how else do you expect politicians to score easy points by "cracking down on gun violence" while wasting taxpayer resources and legislative time/effort? Won't you think of the poor kids going to school in the literal war zone of the public school system?
For the record, common sense gun control laws are important (opinions are what these entail are welcome to vary). The issue is that most of the US already has such laws thoroughly in place yet people and politicians like to act like they don't exist every time a tragedy occurs. I'm sure there's exceptions, but the grand majoroty of the time a politician starts blathering about tightening gun control laws a cursory search shows plenty on the books for their jurisdiction.
