Then politicians might actually talk about doing things to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.

Of course he wasn't, so there is simply nothing that can be done.

Nah, they'd just keep advocating a crackdown on immigration. There's just about nothing that could be done with a gun that'd convince gun advocates that make a move against the second amendment.

Lawmakers are trying to do something. Its called concealed carry reciprocity act and is in Senate committee.

This bill amends the federal criminal code to allow a qualified individual to carry a concealed handgun into or possess a concealed handgun in another state that allows individuals to carry concealed firearms.

A qualified individual must: (1) be eligible to possess, transport, or receive a firearm under federal law; (2) carry a valid photo identification document; and (3) carry a valid concealed carry permit issued by any state or be eligible to carry a concealed firearm in his or her state of residence.

Additionally, the bill specifies that a qualified individual who lawfully carries or possesses a concealed handgun in another state: (1) is not subject to the federal prohibition on possessing a firearm in a school zone, and (2) may carry or possess the concealed handgun in federally owned lands that are open to the public.

What if some group actually held the senate hostage and forced them to pass a resolution? Or at least, gunned down dozens of senators who are heavily funded by the NRA and directly funded by gun manufacturers?

Why are you so radical all the time? Stop hanging out with your Antifa friends.

A) that'd still leave the House to pass, B) that'd still leave the President to sign into law, and C) I'm fairly confident that upon judicial review it'd be ruled as having been passed under duress or passed under a process not according to a legal procedure and ruled unconstitutional.
