Boston Suspect's Shootout - Why Not Revive Gun Control Effort? [View all]

[TomCADem]

I have been reading how right wing, racist politicians are saying that the Boston bombing will slow down the immigration bill, which provides a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Of course, the suspects were not undocumented, so their immigration status should be irrelevant to the bill under consideration.

However, the brothers juist engaged in a shootout with cops and killed one cop and hijacked a motorist with a gun. Yet, I don't see the media pushing the meme that the Bostom bombing is going to have any impact on the gun control debate. Instead, the only meme being pushed is that the bombing is somehow relevant to immigration reform and that it will hurt passage.

Liberal media indeed.
