I had to pick a topic, so I chose 2nd ammendment, but my comment is much broader than that.
I suspect that in general, tragedies make for bad policies. The quintessential example is the Reichstag fire, but I can think of several other examples. Katrina brought about a boatload of idiotic policies. Mass shootings frequently bring calls for heavy-handedness. Liberals probably believe a lot of post 9/11 policies are bad policies born of a tragedy.
