His vote against the AWB was a stupid idea then, and it still is.

That said, an AWB wouldn't have stopped this asshole. He was determined to kill a bunch of people and did. Gasoline bombs tells you that. That doesn't mean we can't have some sensible policies against 100 round magazines unless you have a good reason.

Not that it would have helped in this situation, though. This dude is nuts.
