Manchin: Gun Control ‘Made Sense’ in 2013, And ‘It Makes Sense Now’
breitbart.com ^ | 4/22/2015 | AWR Hawkins

During a Monday appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) defended his post-Sandy Hook gun control push as something that “made sense” in 2013 and something that “makes sense now.”

Host Joe Scarborough approached the subject by talking about how he and Manchin came from different backgrounds — one a Republican and the other a Democrat — yet they found common ground in “[talking] about the need for background checks” and about how they “disagreed with the NRA” post-Sandy Hook.

Not one of the gun grabbers’ feel good laws would have prevented the tragedy at Newton.

But, we know that’s not the point anyway. Some of us are actually smarter than the park ranger.

I didn’t realize he was a Dem. I am thinking of a Republican I sent money to who betrayed us. The name is almost on the tip of my tongue, but I just can’t get it.

Too bad Joe didn’t say this in the commercials he ran with him shooting a bullet through Obamacare regulations. What a total fraud.

Climate Control? Gun Control? Banking Control? Business Regulation Control? Healthcare Control? Transportation Control? Law Enforcement Control?

When can we talk about getting control of our government?

(I suppose that is rhetorical.)

We all agree that the Sandy Hook massacre was horrendous—but there will always be the mentally ill among.

If just one teacher or the principal were allowed to be armed, these school shootings would stop in a heartbeat.

Alternatively, if the schools hired armed guards, we’d never hear of another child massacre.

Our public school children are setting ducks!

Joe Manchin. If there is a more craven, opportunistic, than this POS, in politics, I haven’t seen him/her.

The left is always contradictory:

The NAACP told blacks to arm themselves.

You probably meant Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Johnson worked with Manchin on the bill that the house shot down. Johsnon was supposed to be against gun control and he went and draft legislation. But when it failed, he backtracked and refused to do further attempts. In other words, he was scared of losing any future elections by supporting gun control.

does it make sense to expect a school principal to face a deranged armed assailant with her bare hands? that is what ‘gun control’ does.

Better not let mikey bloomberg hear that. As far as he’s concerned, those uppity black folks should be the last people that should be trusted with guns. Oh, he didn’t say that at the Ass-pen institute? Well, he didn’t WANT anybody to know that he said that. Guess it got his bloomers in a wad when it leaked.
