(Making a new thread as not to potentially shit up the other thread over a contentious issue.)
First off, I'll start by saying: when parsing the sentence "a dangerous nut with a gun" the "nut" makes the "gun" dangerous, not he other way around. The gun didn't do anything, it's a thing, an object, a tool. It doesn't have will, or ambitions, or motivations, the nut does.
The thing is, due to the emotional impact of the the attack, politicians will feel the need to do SOMETHING (or not, to be perceived as not doing NOTHING by their respective constituents), and since we cant ban nuts there will be ban (or further restrict) the next thing: guns.
(also: guns is SCARY)
