Explosions near Boston Marathon finish line
The most likely change to your freedoms is 'none whatsoever' -- tragedies on this scale don't threaten society as a whole and therefore are dealt with by existing laws.

9/11 didn't threaten society, either. Just a few nutcase cultists who got lucky with a single attack that they couldn't sustain.

Perhaps. That wasn't particularly evident at the time.

How is the scale of this disaster any different than that of Newtown's? That has obviously had a large political impact.

I doubt Newtown will have much of a legal impact.
