I don't think it was ever on topic to begin with. But as for the actual topic at hand, I don't think its going anywhere anytime soon. For one, gun bans in the US typically have more opposition than support. Second, the Obama administration has blown its credibility on the issue by blaming Mexican gun violence on the US. No one really bought it, and it seems that instead, they see it as a pathetic justification to possibly ban a class firearms in the US. Any further attempts at justifying a ban will likely be seen with a very skeptical eye by the public.

The anti-gun crowd will politicize it as they always do, but I don't really think those incidents will change any minds. If there were any real anti-gun momentum, we'd be hearing a great deal more out of Congress, yet outside of the usual suspects, they're not really saying anything.
And don't get me started on the timing of this crap. Isn't it odd how several of these major incidents happen all together anytime the government starts pushing gun control? I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but it just seems a bit convenient to me.
This forum is for the discussion of techniques and strategies related to surviving major catastrophes that may effect very-large regions or entire countries.
