My reply would be because I’m a conservative in California. Who is going to stand up for me? A liberal?

[Iron Munro]

Did she really say this?

I don't know.

I just stumbled across it on the net and thought it sounded like something a California politician would say.

However here is an equally stupid statement quote from a Colorado democrat politician.

She thinks gun magazines are one-use devices, like a birth control pill dispenser, and once you empty them they are no longer of any use.

You can verify the story at these links:

Are you that needy? I don’t have any gun control friends and I live in California...

[CalTexan]

I meant is Patrick Bobko really that needy?

[wbarmy]

Well, Snopes says the quote rumor is false, so there you go.

And despite the fact I believe mass shootings are symptomatic of a larger societal problem that has little to do with guns themselves, it was a hard point to argue in the wake of tragedy without sounding trite and callous.

Oh; like REMINDING America that it killed; by CHOICE; about 3,300 future American STUDENTS the very same day that the school shooting happened?

[Elsie]

Well; it IS hard to drink it IN the bottle.

Too cramped.

[Elsie]

I’m not a hunter.

I bought mine to kill people. (Hi; Homeland Security)

The police are MORE than 11 minutes away to come to MY aid when them ferals decide to see what kind of mayhem they can inflict on MY family!

(Think Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas)

[Elsie]

Here in Indiana; our TEACHERS are a wee bit quicker than the cops and will CHARGE the perp (while taking three rounds to their body) and 'disarming' the shooter.

Eleven minutes...

There are 60*24 minutes in each day.

But abortion ‘clinics’ aren’t open 24 hours, they probably only ‘operate’ for 8 hours daily, so give us 60*8; 480 minutes a day to kill about 3,300 future AMerican citizens.

In 11 minutes, about 750 ‘fetuses’, ‘blobs of tissue’, ‘unwanted masses’ were silenced. Ironically; this is about the SAME number of students that WOULD have been in the Florida school with David Hogg. (Considering that about 20-25% of perfectly normal pregnancies have been ended by CHOICE.)

Yeah; there is a Societal factor involved I think.

[Pollster1]

The most recent time I dialed 9-1-1 (multiple intruders), the police took 20-plus minutes to arrive. As free Americans, we have a choice when criminals come to our homes - we can be armed or we can be dead. I choose armed, and no one can override that choice.

...I want to know when and where she said it so I can cite chapter and verse to the gun grabbers and show them just how stupid the Democratic representatives in Congress are.

They don't care. Mad Maxine gets re-elected, Hank "Guam will tip over" Johnson gets re-elected, Sheila "the Constitution is 400 years old" Jackson Lee gets re-elected, Debbie "When we took over the economy, we were losing 800 thousand jobs a month under the Bush administration." Wasserman Schultz gets re-elected, Nancy "we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it" Pelosi gets re-elected.

I don't know the solution, but I do know people vote for people who they think are most like them...

[null and void]

Why do you trust Snopes?

[null and void]

How would the story be different if Jason carried?

A school’s teachers and staff are right there or only seconds away, and are very protective of their charges, unlike the police, they won’t show up late and cower in the parking lot until the shooter runs out of ammo, the SWAT team arrives, or both.

Arm ‘em!

[null and void]

When I accidentally tripped the alarm at work, the police promptly arrived. One hour to the minute later...

[M Kehoe]

Ping.

5.56mm

[wbarmy]

My sincere apology. I meant to put a sarc tag on it.

Although there were other sites which showed it was a fake quote on a website like The Babylon Bee.

[null and void]

Ah! Slow of me. [insert forehead slap].

The real problem isn’t the fake quote, the real problem is that no matter how stupid or outrageous a quote attributed to a politician is, it’s totally plausible they actually said it!

[wbarmy]

Just like in post #32, the number of idiot things said is so great, that picking out the fake one becomes actual work.

”We lose 93 millionAmericans a day to gun violence!”
