Good post but you and I know that the die has been cast by the liberals who currently control much of the msm. Its all about gun control and that means your gun and mine need to go.

"Regardless - he didn't use an "assault" weapon, he used two handguns, so why the call for another "assault" weapon ban?"

Because if they could act on logic instead of emotion, they wouldn't be liberals.

I think Connecticut -- like most of the blue states -- already bans "assault" weapons. What they don't do -- and is next to impossible to do, is ban "ugly, scary, black" guns.

Comparing what happened in CT or Columbine etc. to the situation in Israel is comparing apples to oranges. They are in no way similar.

All the more reason for us to engage in vociferous push-back on the new media. If it is not to elucidate and spur conservative activists, then there truly is no purpose for this type of thread.

You’ve hit it, kabar. Falling right in line is the copy-cat affect which all the media are encouraging today.

I bet it is non-stop gun control and repeal of the 2nd amendment today. The is a wet dream for the liberals and their “lord and savior” in the clown house.

Lest we forget, gun ownership is mandatory in Switzerland.

They have to point to the gun, otherwise they may have to talk about the cause. Why are we drugging all our boys up so they can be good little girls in the classroom?

The Ritalin and violent video cocktail is paying its results. Not hard to figure out a kid addicted to mass killing videos is eventually going to look for a bigger kick.

I really think insanity is a symptom rather than a cause. There will always be mentally ill people and some of those will be predisposed to commit violent acts. They should be identified and institutionalized.

However, we seem to see a rising level of mass violence not only in the US, but around the world. Perhaps, it is just because of our ability to learn of them compared to 50 years ago, but I sense more of it.

Personally, I believe that Man is still coming to grips with the impact of technology on their lives. The change has been so rapid and profound that the human pschye can not absorb it all. It is far easier for someone to operate at the periphery of society and functiopn without having a lot interchange with other human beiings. You can live in a fantasy world and lose touch with reality.

In this case, I bet video games played a part in the way the shooter could dispassionately shoot people in cold blood in much the same way he does on a video game. He can look at a Tarratino movie and see violence depicted that is so realistic that he becomes inured to it in real life.

Also consider why are most mass shootings in real or defacto "gun-free" zones. Sandy Hook, Columbine, VaTech, NIU, even back to the UT tower shooter decades ago.

Why invite trouble by advertising that criminals will not be challenged in our schools ?

“we gotta get the guns.” typical quote of the Lib in news show today.

Geo Will trying to push back...with reason and logic. Makes NO difference. the Libs will not go with reason. Chafetz trying to push back. Hey guys, give up...Black rep Denna Howard “we gotta get the guns! there’s a lot of guns out there.”

Good Lord...”we want the President to take action on this.”They are going after the assault weapons.

They are going after the assault weapons.

Can you not "reach out and touch someone" with ANY gun?

That makes them ALL "assault weapons".

They have to keep their braindead voters happy so they point to the guns and ignore the reason.

Frankly these mass murders bore me. We know the politicians are going to crawl up on their caskets and make vote for me speeches which is the real crime. How about letting the town mourn and get over it before the next drug filled copycat gets his face on the news.

Pray for America

Morning mister,

point to the guns

But first point to the "gun free zones" Ever heard of anybody bursting in and shooting up a police station...or a shooting range?

Brilliant stuff here kabar. Just had to be repeated.
