Dem. lawmaker: To get gun control, Obama must ‘exploit’ shooting
The Washington Times ^ | 14 December, 2012 | Ben Wolfgang

A veteran Democratic lawmaker believes the nation will go along with stronger gun control laws if President Obama “exploits” the Newtown, Conn., tragedy and nudges Congress to action.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who represents portions of New York City, said he was encouraged by Mr. Obama’s statement on Friday afternoon that the mass shooting, which claimed the lives of 20 young children, requires “meaningful action” by Congress, but hopes those words turn into concrete legislation.

Parading the corpses like democrats and muslims always do.

Using their logic, since most of these shootings are done by democrats and/or sons of obama then it follows that if we exploit this and the other shootings we can conclude that the democrat party should be outlawed because they murder people.

FUBO & FAD

We do not need the old failed policies of fascist gun "gun control". We need armed responsible adults capable of protecting the children, instead of keeping them in the a defenseless killing zone for their attackers.

Laws aren't about saving lives. Laws are about making people feel good. Arming teachers won't make people feel good. Banning assault rifles, high-cap magazines and closing gun shows will.

And when I say "people" I'm not talking about you or I posting here on Free Republic. I'm talking about all those other folks who actually won the election. The NRA went all out against Obama and lost. Nobody is afraid of the "Angry White Male" anymore. As last November clearly demonstrated, they can win without us. Gun control is coming. You can count on it. Better buy 'em now.

They did the same thing when Oswald did his gig on JFK.One has to wonder how far the left will go or what they will set up to gain more power.

But giving up your freedom for “safety” has far worse consequences.

Ben Franklin (I think) said that he who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.
