Actual response from the 67 year old typical Right Wing Baby Boomer that I work with? "Everyone should just carry a gun everywhere, that's the answer to this stuff." Rather than opening the gun control debate that it should, this is going to spark people going out and buying more guns and more ammo.
I mean, we're talking about a GOP that voted down a measure that would've stopped those on the Terrorism Watch List (who aren't even allowed on an airplane) from obtaining firearms. They'd rather allow potential terrorists access to legally purchased weapons than enact any kind of gun control. They're sure not going to try to stop everyday Americans from getting guns, regardless of how unfit those Americans are.
