NRA has so much lobbying power. Here in Tennessee, a well liked Republican stood her ground against permitting guns on employer premises. A very reasonable position that is not anti-gun. The NRA went after her with a large TV as campaign saying a bunch of untrue crap and she got defeated by a new tea party type that would allow guns in day cares to keep his job.

The fear of an NRA backlash is why America doesn't have a Surgeon General when it really needs one.

The psychiatrist Dr Keith Ablow was interviewed this morning about this and he expressed his disgust that since previous school shootings in America there has been virtually no follow up in making available adequate financial resources to help identify potential psychological problems at an early stage in children and young people that lead them to carrying out these actions.

Obama should propose, "making available adequate financial resources to help identify potential psychological problems at an early stage" that should take all of 30 seconds before the GOP congress votes it down.
