MSNBC Host Hangs Gun Control Call on Newtown Massacre

It's customary to wait for the bodies to cool before exploiting them for political gain

Hours after what appears to have been a massacre at a local elementary school in Connecticut, and with the number of victims or their identities yet known, MSNBC host Alex Wagner opined that this shooting must yield policy makers in Washington some "political capital" to introduce reform American gun ownership laws.

"It is, hopefully – we say this every, single time we cover one of these things – a line in the sand," Wagner said. "There has got to be some kind of measurable change, some kind of reaction."
