Boredom probably isn’t what’s driving for most people the conversation about Friday night’s killing spree in Isla Vista, Calif., but it does have MSNBC analyst Jonathan Alter wondering if the mass shooting (and stabbing) will contribute to a new round of gun control discussions0.

Within minutes of the news breaking, some were already blaming the NRA for the deaths, so of course the killings will lead to revived demands for gun “safety.” But will the gun grabbers gain sufficient momentum after this latest shooting?

Actually, a good deal of gun education comes from the NRA.
