The real and largely unexplored point in this topic is how Obama politicized and exploited this, and tried to turn it into a push to crush the 2nd Amendment.
Which, fortunately, failed, and created some loss of political support for the Democrats.
And even cost two anti-gun Colorado Representatives their seats in recall elections.
This political cartoon captures the full irony of this, in view of Obama's "Fast and Furious" scandal, Libya policy and Syria policy:
How this president gets even 37% support at this point just amazes me.
