What they are scared of is the loss of votes that support of anti-gun legislation will bring and that you can't legislate your way around.
If the Democrats are truly interested in preventing future such tragedies then they should be figuring out why our society is creating these monsters. Guns did not make this maniac, society did, WE did. WE had better figure out how to stop it or regardless of what ever laws we pass we will continue to see more of these tragedies.

We live in a violent culture today. I think Hollywood has more impact than guns. The average kid watches 1000's of brutal murders every year on TV. Don't get me wrong, I like my action flicks, but I also grew up in the period where being the good guy was the thing to do. Hollywood once promoted a clear good vs. bad image. I see a lot of liberal actors promoting gun control, then they make the most violent movies with guns, lil hypocritical to me.
People are talking get rid of guns, but watch gun sales increase 1000% over the next few months.
