do you mean anything by this beyond his election chances? i'm failing to imagine what policies would change based on this

If there were any security/civil rights/general spying on people bills that were floating around but were too unpalatable to push through, those are most likely going through now.

Also if the shooter turns out to be anything other than a straight white cis male, then whatever group they were part of is probably gonna have a bad time for the foreseeable future.

Let's be honest, even if its a good ole boy, the nutters will find a way to blame it on minorities and/or the "left".
