"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste." - Obama's then-advisor Rahm Emanuel
The Obama administration is trying to milk the Newtown, CT shootings for all they are worth, using people's fear to implement the same old schemes that have been tried for years and found not to work.
You know the drill: "Assault weapons" bans that failed to stop the Columbine and Kentucky shootings, magazine restrictions that only the law-abiding obey, legal penalties on activities that are already illegal, etc. etc.
Plainly, these paranoid gun-haters have no interest in stopping the mass shootings that their laws let go on and on already.
So, what IS their agenda? What do they intend to accomplish by restricting (yet again) law-abiding people who don't commit mass shootings, while lawbreakers who won't obey them, keep right on murdering children by the dozens?

EXCLUSIVE: Cuomo Close To Announcing Sweeping New Gun Control Laws
Governor Working On Deal That Would Go After Assault Weapons, Magazines
January 8, 2013 8:48 PM
YONKERS, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A deal to give New York one of the toughest gun control laws in the nation is being negotiated by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who, sources said Tuesday, is hoping to announce the plan Wednesday during his State of the State speech in Albany.
Cuomo hopes to jump-start the 2013 legislative session with a big deal that could dramatically alter gun control laws across the state.
Highly placed sources told CBS 2’s Marcia Kramer that Cuomo is negotiating with Assembly and Senate leaders for a package of gun control laws that would be a dramatic response to the gun violence besetting the nation, including the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
“It’s a very divisive topic,” Cuomo said on Wednesday. “There’s a lot of energy on both sides. Some people are vehemently against’ some people think we’re out of our minds for not passing it.”
Sources told Kramer the governor and lawmakers are negotiating furiously in the hope that Cuomo can announce a deal during his speech Wednesday.
Sources said the package is expected to include:
* New restrictions on assault weapons
* Stiffer penalties for using a gun to commit a crime
* New limits on the number of bullets in a gun magazine
