Duncan used the deaths of young people to make an emotional case for gun control. "Sixteen thousand. In my first six years as secretary of education, that's the number of young people who were killed across our country," Duncan said, choking up. "That's an average of seven a day. That's a devastating loss." He went on to tell stories of students he met with who didn't think they would live until adulthood.

This will be Captain Midnight’s last hurrah for 2016. Gun Control. It’s the only issue he’s been completely repudiated on.
So being a legend in his own mind like most liberals, he’ll go for broke on it.
DemocRats know that NONE of their proposed gun control laws will prevent murder. They just want to take the next step towards confiscation.
“Sixteen thousand” - he must be including his fallen Muslim sons and brothers who’ve fulfilled the call to jihad.
you bloodthirsty rednecks!!!
you don’t care about the poor inner city yute.
just want to hunt your squirrel and whatnot.
There was NEVER any crime or war before those damn guns!!
wait...
20 years ago. half a million slaughtered with machetes in hutu/tutsi war
last year Chinese man killed over a dozen children with a knife
Romans are estimated to have killed in the millions.
Sorry. I was wrong.
Obviously he didn’t do a very good job of “educating” them, did he!
The test scores were horrible under your leadership.
Yeah.
Just like the other day when FBI director Comey was speaking about something. She was back there with her finger on the cattle prod button just in case the speech took a wrong turn.
>> Duncan used the deaths of young people to make an emotional case for gun control.
OK, Arne. You made your point.
I promise I’ll practice top-notch gun control until tight groups are second nature. For the children.
Gun control? Or education about guns, and how they fit into the human equation?
Even if these young thugs never get that education, plenty of their peers and cohorts WILL learn enough about the care, feeding, grooming and proper use of of firearms, to provide a strong auxiliary to the police force, which by its very nature, cannot be everywhere all the time.
Perhaps some 95% of those deaths, and an equal percentage of those injured or maimed by gunfire, were because of the total lack of respect of what guns are and what they can do.
These people NEVER, NEVER get off-topic. Make no mistake: taking our guns away is JOB #1 for everyone in the Obama administration, regardless of their actual title or official duties.
Any other carrion eaters in the picture? How about the number of black babies aborted? Did he get choked up over that? That’s a rhetorical BTW.
My first thought as well.
There shouldn’t even BE a federl dept of education.
It is TIME to DownSize DC! Close entire Rogue/Unconstitutional Departments, including their SWAT Teams.
STARTING with the US Dept. of (re)Education. Kill the beast’s funding and eliminate their SWAT Teams.
...and what does this have to do with education?
If the answer is > 0, then Duncan failed as Sec. of Education: since education is supposed to be a cure-all.
How many shooters had ËœNOT attained their GED or high school diploma?
If the answer is > 0, then Duncan failed as Sec. of Education: since he shouldn't have abandoned our children to the streets.
Suck on *that*.
“Please pass totalitarian gun laws that will do absolutely nothing to stop the shootings i mentioned but will take guns from the hands
of the dirty, racist, Bitter Clingers and other Christian wingnut terrorists who do not like our beloved Black King...”
“Ooops”
“I mean our beloved President.”
Nah, simply tissue masses. Not actual humans. You know the spiel.
Most of them were black gang bangers and illegal alien gang bangers killing each other.
When this happened in L.A. in the 1980s and 1990s, the LAPD called it an NHI crime. NHI = No Human Involved.
So screw, Arnie Duncan.
