More than two dozen people killed — most of them elementary school children — in Connecticut. The Administration must make the issue of gun control a top priority. Now! The election is over and there's no need to worry about ruffled feathers. It's time to take the NRA on. It's time for all of us to become pro-life. Not in the abortion context, but to protect the lives of our brothers and sisters and kids from the out of control gun violence in this country.

Well, I say let them exercise their 2nd Amendment rights !!

Anyone who wants to carry a muzzle loading musket SHOULD be allowed to !! Nothing more ! wink

Naw, they need to limit clip sizes - 6 no more. ... course creeps like this guy would violate the law anyway... what's a gun infraction compared to mass murder! mad

BUT - Agreed - something concrete needs to be done - STAT !!

There are voices who suggest arming teachers, citing those incidents in Florida where gun-toting citizens have foiled armed robberies etc.
Here in Illinois soon it'll be legal to carry a concealed weapon, just like in numerous (over 20?) other states.
Is this where we're headed?

The Repugnican Michigan legislature passed a law yesterday that allows licensed gun owners to carry in schools, arenas, and other public venues. Feel safer now? This is madness!

Insane: click.

More insane: lick

There really is no hope for this country. We're going down the primrose path to political hell.

The worst part of it is this...
I only feel the need to own a gun because of these gun nuts and their need to own guns. I have to be able to protect my family... so this year I have been contemplating a weapon.

Not a rifle for hunting or a side arm to practice with at the range. A "Get Thee behind me Satan" gun.

Any story link from the Drudge Report will result in a tirade of comments attacking Obama. Whether it's a tragic story like this from CBS, ABC, BBC, Yayoo News, … whatever, their comments pages get filled with Drudge-crowd hate.

I was reading the comments on the CBS News story of the shooting and the wackos were blaming Obama for another staged gun tragedy event to seize guns. Or this shooting was due to CT's school union thugs. Or the shooter must be a Liberal because he's from liberal CT. Or this occurred because Obama has removed prayer from the schools. Or this is a race incident because of actor Jamie Fox saying something about "shooting all the whites he can" ….

Sad.

Well, I thought it interesting that he kept wiping his eye when I didn't see any tears. But he did look sincere and ilm sure he was. A man would have to be.

But this comes shortly after those bozo DJs from Australia gave their fake cry interview. Obama sure didnt act like they did
