I don't get it and I probably never will.
This is much like the liberal left movement to cry foul [*snip* bizarre rant about 'the left' -HG]

Okay, I'm going to have to sidestep almost all of this because I have not made any arguments for (or against) gun control in this thread, nor have I identified myself with the left or any of the Bush-related arguments you've brought up. None of that is relevant to my post.
My simple point is: there's something bizarre and utterly arbitrary about choosing national origin as a way to explain this incident. There is absolutely zero evidence that his being Korean (or more broadly a non-citizen) had an atom's worth of bearing on what happened. You cannot even construct a hypothetical explanation of how such linkage might operate, because it's completely absurd.
