On Wednesdays The Late Show on CBS, host David Letterman complained to CNNs Anderson Cooper about the lack of action on the child deaths by handgun. He pointed recent incidents in Santa Barbara, CA and Newtown, CT and lamented that neither of those has inspired a solution to shootings and guns in our society.
I think, I dont have the statistics but that's never stopped me, Letterman said. I think daily in this country a child or an underage boy or girl is shot and killed by a gun. And then we had the situation in Santa Barbara, CA where a fellow was unbalanced and killed people then killed himself. I certainly thought that Newtown was going to be the landmark, changing touchstone point in this country where we changed our understanding and awareness about gun ownership and how to improve, not eliminate guns -- how to improve. But now we've just become inured with this. People are shot and killed each and every day by private handgun ownership. This -- you can't tell me this is an insoluble problem.

“You can’t tell me this is an insoluble problem.”
It’s not a problem, it’s the price of freedom.
Work on the citizens, not the inanimate objects.
Dave, do you know where that happens most? Here's just two hints: Chicago and Detroit. But then maybe I should point out Philadelphia, St. Louis, Los Angeles, DC, and every other major city with their illegal alien and home grown gang members. There are more murders that occur in your socialist utopian cities every couple of months than has occurred with all the crazies in the last years.
Here's a solution for you, let every law-abiding citizen carry where ever and whenever they want. It's called deterrent. Those States, counties, and cities that allow open carry and/or concealed have the least gun related murders. Can you figure out why? Didn't think so.
Sorry, but we're a gun culture and with all the gangs and crazies out there, would you give up your bodyguard who is most likely carrying? Thought not. FUDL.
like “they” solved it everywhere else in the world?
oh wait, no gun problem in North Korea- unless you are a peasant
Funny, that's what I keep thinking about the liberal/socialist/Progressive/communist problem.
David, is your armed security person ARMED with a squirt gun? Of course, you are a hypocritical liberal, so I guess the answer is...’No, I need my security people ARMED.’
Dave I’m telling you its an insoluble problem. Nutty people do nutty things. Deal with it.
Yeah, when IS Letterman leaving?
However, with our luck even in retirement he won’t go away. Like Jimmy Carter.
Mr. no talent comedian, Letterman, should give up his guarded apartment building and gated homes, his elaborate alarm systems, and his body guard and let us know how things turn out in about a year or less. Leftists are such goofs.
The only people who thought he was funny was fellow leftist liberals. He was NEVER funny. He is a self hater like most leftist/liberal comedians, actually most leftist liberals.
Yes... I believe it was October 15 at 12:34 am. (I forgot what second it was)
Exactly. And we’ve had the technology for some time to prevent drunk drivers from starting a car . . . but we do nothing. Why don’t idiots like Letterman take on that problem - far more effective at preventing death since that seems to be the metric and it doesn’t require a Constitutional amendment.
But of course it's more then merely the emotional tugs pulling at liberals' heartstrings when they see a school massacre on television, there is a blindness in liberals to the appalling death count in abortion. At the risk of being accused of Semitic bigotry, there is a history among Jewish liberals which aggressively favors abortion. I think, but of course I do not know, because it is believed to somehow facilitate the emancipation of women which is closely defendant upon the sexual emancipation of women.
So we see the Ruth Bader Ginsburgs of this world distorting the Constitution to justify 55 million baby death while she becomes a Talmudic Rabbi and finds all manner of hidden meanings to the right of privacy which justify abortion. Worse, she has explicitly tied it to the sexual and social emancipation of women and explicitly justified abortion on those grounds. In doing this she comes from a long line of Jewish liberals.
Does David letterman react the way he does against a few babies killed in a school massacre while remaining blind to tens of millions aborted because of his cultural heritage?
Is it legitimate even to ask?
Dave is right. The solution is simple - allow open carry everywhere. Crime goes down - across the board - everywhere it is tried.
The issue, Dave, is that liberals don’t like the solution.
Dave sez, “... I dont have the statistics but that’s never stopped me...”
That says a lot right there.
Dems freed the insane from hospitals because they are a vital voting bloc.
Kids die. It’s an insoluble problem. They get shot, stabbed, drown, strangled, run over by cars, killed in crashes, disease etc. The biggest cause of child death is abortion. Don’t even try to compare the numbers to gun deaths. Go after that number first and then we will move to the second leading cause of death.(Which ain’t guns)
C'mon, Dave, give me a break!
You live in unguarded fear and see how it feels...
Dave, let me know when all of the criminals are disarmed.
Then you can get back to me.
letterman is a talentless LIB freak. Who cares what he’s “against”? Other LIB morons.
what was that exception?
