Yep, Rubio picked the wrong horse to ride to the WH in the future. He’s toast to conservatives like me now.

Too bad, I was hoping he would work himself up into an anerism.

Just like I’ve said....Obama is already a “Lame duck: POTUS!!! You poor folks that hail from Connecticut have been used, abused, fooled and led to the chopping block by buffoon Obama!!! Want to save your wonderful, innocent precious children, get congress to be real. Forget gun control and get those mental nutcases out of society where they are free to murder children in schools and innocents watching a movie. Obama does notwant to insure your safety....he wants to deny your freedom to protect yourself. He needs to be impeached!!! Wake up fools in Sandy Hook, Newtown, etc.

No law can control the actions of a criminal. But Obastard is not wanting to control them, he wants to control those with the ability to oppose government tyranny.

I watched it. That was pretty gloat-worthy. The stern faces, the lips bitten...Made me feel pretty good. Watching the CNN babe after was priceless.

The families volunteered. They should be ashamed.

I'll save my judgment for when I've walked a mile in their shoes. Until then, I can't say with 100% certainty how susceptible I'd be in my hour of grief.

If the republicans had a guts, and intelligence, they’d have their own press conference with parents from Newtown who were against this legislation. If, if, if, if....

I don't know. That could just as easily be perceived as opportunism, especially if it comes across as responding to those on the other side, mentioned above.

I don’t think I have ever seen such an incredible display of Narcissistic Personality Disorder as I have just witnessed in his rant.

Common sense gun control is an oxymoron.

Because to exercise “gun control” in the manner which seems to be preferred by the Current Regime, is to effectively criminalize the very possession of any kind of weapon capable of discharging a high-velocity projectile of any kind.

And that just isn’t common sense when the principle of self-defense in the very critical moments after first being assaulted is not allowed to come into play. Theoretically, an individual well-practiced in martial arts COULD disarm and overcome even a well-armed adversary, if the adversary is the least bit clumsy or unsure in asserting the initial advantage. But trading aimed projectiles at 1,400 fps kind of equalizes the confrontation.

Especially when the assailant does not realize the victim is armed.

I heard that too....and agreed!

You watch. 0bama will empty the buildings around the marathon finish line and speak from the area now cordoned off, next to blood stains.

Obama was introduced by one of the professional victim fathers from Sandy Hook.
