Sandy Hook didn't caise gun control to be passed at the Federal level; neither will this.

Individual states are another matter, of course, although there's now a ray of hope in Colorado.

The facts are clear. These mass shootings are Obama's fault. These idiots can go pound sand and piss and moan for gun control all they want. But only after Obammie leaves office will the violence subside.

Any firearm not possessed by an employee of The State.

Gun Control only affects legal gun owners, not criminals.

it was a liberal paradise.

gun free zone. nobody could defend themselves.

the liberals passed a lot of gun laws here already that do nothing to stop a person whose intent is evil.

laws cannot stop a person with evil intent. all they do is disarm the people with no ill intent and make them victims because they cannot fight back with equal force.

They’ve known that for decades. Even on the first anniversary of the DC sniper shootings, they were at it—all to disarm the law-abiding public.
“What gun control law would have stopped the sniper shootings from occurring?” (Erich) Pratt (communications director for Gun Owners of America) asked (Sen. Barbara Mikulski [D-Md.]). “The snipers have admitted that they stole the firearm they used from a gun store, so what gun control would have stopped them from getting that firearm?” …

Blumenthal, who lied about being a “war hero,” wants to lecture US.

America is plagued by a plethora of idiot, left-wing gun grabbers like you, Blumenthal.

But, but, but - - - - , the massacre at the Washington Naval Yard was in a tightly controlled gun- free zone!

The Fort Hood Massacre was also in a Military gun-free zone.

Gun-free zones are were massacres occur.

Bill Clinton’s 1993 Exec Order decreed that no guns are to be allowed inside US Military Buildings.

Very PC. Very gun controlled. Very Clintonesque.

“Senator Reid: “We’re gonna move this up as quickly as we can, but we gotta have the votes first. We don’t have the votes.” …”

The good news here is that he doesn’t have the votes, nor will he get them despite all the media spin that is trying to still suggest that somehow an AR-15 was involved.
