“17 kids gone favorably impact climate change and is voiuntary human extinction”

I know you mean it sarcastically, but it is actually worse than this.

The premise of your sarcasm assumes they really are outraged over these murders.

The problem is they are not. They are giddy with excitement.

They get to do their favorite thing and grandstand, and moralize, and tell everybody else what to do.

They feel empowered that they can manipulate companies and attack their political rivals.

And they feel this mass murder will benefit them politically.

So, yeah, they see this as just another opportunity to exploit to help them with their quest for power.

Exactly. And it’s because they are fascists.

You can see it written all over their smug little faces.

“But because their real goal is to do damage to the Constitution and the other underpinnings of this nation, they will attack guns.”

Too true. To the left the Constitution is whatever leftwing judges say it is.

They invent all sorts of imaginary rights while trampling on the real ones.

They found a right to kill innocent babies, even though depriving a person of life requires due process in the Constitution.

They found a right to homosexual sex and adoption, and the right to impose an agreement with these things that supersedes the enumerate right to freedom of religion.

It is simply not possible for this to end any other way than all out war.

The DemoRats have been pushing for gun control for decades.
This is how it has been working out for them.

And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)

And it continues...

And there is more...

And more...

And yet more...

And more and more and...

We just keep buyin' more...

And we bought more more more...

And more and more and more...

Could it be? More?

More Americans buy more guns...

We just love guns...

KEEP FLAPPIN' YOUR LIPS, DEMOCRATS! WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)

Has gun control has ever been a winning issue?
It’s kind of a control for you but, not for me kind of issue.

With our age of emotional meltdownism, virtue signaling, sappy snowflake voters, I’m worried and quite ticked off, hopefully enough others will be too.
Wake up ‘silent majority’!

I believe the Gov. was attending one of the kids funerals ... and how did you like that question the girl slammed Nelson with and Tapper jumped in quick and said, ‘You don’t have to answer that” - because Tapper instantly knew that was scripted to hit Loesch with

“Florida has liquor stores with drive-thrus”

We have them in Texas too.

What is more amazing though is how often, in the middle of the night, usually a little after 2 a.m., cars and alcohol get together and start randomly running over people.

SUVs seem to attack people at any time of the day, but any car may collaborate with alcohol at night.

They even frequently take advantage of poor undocumented immigrants just trying to make a living doing work American citizens don’t want to do. You know, things like construction work.

If only we had car and alcohol control.

In that picture, Nelson looks like he’s trying to squeeze out a wet fart without letting it get away from him.

The Democrats are acting just like they did after Paul Wellstone croaked, and that didn’t turn out very well for them.

The Assault weapons ban cost Democrats control of the House once before. It will destroy them again.

I suspect it will work for the rats like it did in 1994, maybe worse. Obama created millions of new gun owners during his term who probably don’t want their guns taken away.

Ummmm - since the Dems are using it to “get more Dems elected” it seems like we have the same sort of interest to get more Repubs elected.....

Now would be the time for the GOP to begin filming ads for the upcoming election, and in September, spam the airwaves. First ad: The story of Mr. Williford who took out the church shooter with his weapon — an AR-15, BTW. There are thousands of incidents like this.

Maybe Mr. Williford wouldn’t be the best example. The Rats are OK with Christians being massacred.

Anyhow, try to anticipate their best anti-gun ads, and make ours 10 x more powerful and bold.

This will become the Dems new "Wellstone Funeral" in the midterms....... if even remembered by short-attention-span America in November.

Dem voters won't remember because they won't WANT to remember. This is such a political F'up it'll get buried hard and fast.

November is going to be all about who's base is energized more. I suspect this year will see one of the biggest mid-term election turn-outs in a very long time. I've no way to know which way this is going go go yet. One minute my gut tells me Republican's hold or pick up seats, the next minute it's a squeaker loss of the Senate.

The only thing I know for sure is in Illinois where I live it doesn't really matter, at least for where I live now. I was re-districted into a Democrat seat eight years ago. I'm selling my house (divorce settlement) and moving back into a Republican controlled district so at least my vote counts for the House of Representatives.

I will be working my ass off this coming late summer and fall to re-elect my new representative to "keep the house" at least. That's the best I can do here and dammit I'm gonna do it.
