Biden: Trayvon case could spur gun laws debate
CBSNews ^ | March 31, 2012 | Chad Sinclair

(CBS News) Vice President Joe Biden said Florida's "Stand Your Ground" gun laws will be a topic of debate in light of the controversy surrounding the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

"It's important that people be put in a position where their Second Amendment rights are protected, but that they also don't, as a consequence of the laws, unintendedly put themselves in harm's way," Biden told anchor Bob Schieffer in an interview to air on "Face the Nation" on Sunday.

No... Joe... it won't. Americans are awake now. You aren't going to sell any of us on your anti-gun pabulum. Your Marxist faggot boss might try to push through gun control in EOs, but he's not going to get legitimate legislation through either of the houses of Congress.

Here's the real reason this otherwise minor story is getting so much airplay.

Trayvon case should spur an effort to make schools report stolen jewelry found on students to the police.

If Trayvon had been in jail for stealing the womens jewelry, then he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to attack Zimmerman and get killed.

I wouldn't doubt them trying.

At the rate they are going they may even try to push government run health care through the house and senate and actually think that it has a chance!

I can’t believe its taken this long for this to come up. I thought it was a primary objective, along with starting a race riot.

Unemployment is still over 8%
Gas is almost 5.00 a gallon and rising
Obamacare has had a brutal 3 days in the Supreme Court
President Obama was embarrassingly caught on an open mic
The President's photo op with 1/2 an oil pipeline bombs

  That above headlines that aren't in the news is the reason Trayvon's case is getting SO much time. The wall to wall coverage is better for the democrats than wall to wall coverage of the economy and the Democrat's policy failures.

Best the public doesn't let itself be misled by people who have 24/7 Secret Service protection for themselves and their families.

Now if Joe Biden would give all of that up somebody might listen to him a few minutes.

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

Schieffer is a master of selective reporting.
He really is among the top apologists for the Democrat Party and has been for decades.

The race riots are supposed to happen after the law-abiding segment of the population is disarmed. Then martial law is declared and 2012 election postponed "until further notice."

That's the primary objective.

"President Obama was embarrassingly caught on an open mic"

Obama plans double cross on missile defense
When it comes to keeping America safe, we shouldn’t be too flexible

[snip]

“Mr. Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:

Obama: “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for him to give me space.”

Medvedev: “Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ...”

Obama: “This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.”

Medvedev: “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.”

“This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.” That statement tells us much about the president’s mindset.

The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration. Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president’s comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.

In addition, there is the phrase “on all these issues,” implying more is at stake than just missile defense.”
