if the Rep house does stand up for 2nA Rights, then our rights are in jeapordy. Good thing Gun ownership will never ever banned. gun restrictions will be annoying. Maybe fast cars should be banned, its more danger to its driver, passanger and other car drivers.

If extended magazines are banned, then what to do if the next wacko brought and used 2 guns? ban ownership of 2 guns?

so many DWI killed whole families in TX and I did not see a lot of panicky lawmakers screaming and yelling, not to draw parallel but lawmakers are scared to death because one of their own was targeted. What should be done if a public figure wants to do on the corner meeting with public, 2 or local PD officers is good security measure.

A wise person should consider the outcome of any measures taken. Will any gun restrictions or arming the citizens help stopping such acts? If you look at this case, more gun control measures will not help.
In addition, this incident has nothing to do with concealed carry. On the contrary, All witness accounts says that it took forever for help to arrive when in fact help came within few minutes.

In short, this incident is a planned attack and the attacker(s) will have no regard to any law or gun control measure. Determined actors will gain access to firearms even in 100% gun-banned country such in UK. It will only cost more money.

One has to look at the fact that if law-abiding citizens are armed they would be able to use deadly force to stop the attackers. In this case, and due to close encounter to the shooter, jumping the shooter was faster and brave response when the shooter stopped shooting to reload. What if, the shooter retreated, reloaded and kept shooting? You would hope that some armed citizen would be brave enough to engage the shooter and shoot back until help is on the scene.

Again, 2nA has pro and cons and if the overall result is a benefit to the society and its individuals then it will be widely accepted.
