Dem Sen On Oregon Shooting:"Complicit"Politicians "Should Be Held Accountable"
Breitbart.com ^ | October 2, 2015 | Pam Key

Friday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said presidential candidates and Congress were “complicit” in mass shootings like the one in Oregon yesterday because they are not endorsing and passing gun control laws. Blumenthal said, “My hope is this latest horrific unspeakable tragedy will galvanize the Congress, but more importantly galvanize the American people to demand from Congress it end its complicity, and it is really complicity, in these massacres and 30,000 deaths that occur every year.”

I buy alcohol. I guess I'm to blame too for all the drunk driving accidents. Shame on me.

If you buy rum then I will excuse you from any guilt.

there are plenty of gun laws , effective gun laws already in place . Some say far too many already .

Insane killers do not give a rip about gun laws . They will always find a way to get a weapon and pursue their insane fantasies .

The only way to defend against these demonic types is to have other guns . They were the equalizer in the old days and they still are . That’s reality .

Liberal fantasies only increase the numbers of helpless and defenseless .

Any ‘RAT politician calling for the infringement of the Second Amendment rights of Americans is complicit with violating the Bill of Rights and thereby complicit with making the contract between the American people and the U.S. Government invalid.

So, are they complicit in the 12,000+ drunk driving deaths caused annually? And, the 30,000 total car crash deaths?

Liberal logic is a real hoot.

A I say scum like Obama and Blumenthal violate their oaths to protect the Constitution on a daily basis and ought to be dragged before a drumhead court, condemned and shot.

Hmmmm ... I listen to the liberals speak, and it sounds to me like they are anticipating a Civil War to break out. It looks like they are actively trying to disarm their opponents in advance. This concerns me.

“Complicit”Politicians “Should Be Held Accountable”

YES! I agree with comrade Blumenthal.

All the Lefties the promote the nonsensical, anti-common sense notion of gun control laws should be held responsible for making citizens sitting ducks by creating moronic “Gun Free Zones”.

These idiots don't keep guns from criminals, they only make it much harder for law abiding people to stop the bad people.

“Mr. Home Invasion Thug, would you like to play a couple hands of cards while I wait for the police to get here. ... No you're not allowed to shoot my kids. It's against the law. The police will be here in about 20 minutes.

Put that gun down right now! I told you it's AGAINST THE LAW!!
Whaddaya mean you don't care?!!?
Come on, let's play Parcheesi, watch some Any Griffith?
Now see here! If you shoot another one of my kids I'll have to call the police again.”

BLOOD IS ON THE HANDS OF ALL THOSE VILE POLITICIANS THAT CREATE LAWS TO KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF LAW ABIDING CITIZENS.

Vanna, sell these dimwits a clue. CRIMINALS DON'T OBEY THE LAW. That's why they call them criminals!

Also, if you get rid of guns entirely (Impossible) then the government will be able to do whatever they want to you.

It’ hard to imagine the colossal stupidity of the Left.
Did they never hear of Chicago? the Nazis? The 100 million killed by Communist regimes.

Of course, the Communist dictators are their heroes...

Agreed. Anyone responsible for a gun free zone, and especially the politicians who support them, should be considered accomplice to the criminals who use them as killing fields and held accountable.

Yes. The victims and their families should sue those who removed their ability to effectively protect themselves against a crazy person.

I could not agree more. Every politician who supported laws that attempt to strip away our natural right to self defense and our constitutional right to keep & bear arms should be bounced from office. The people who forced good, right minded and law abiding citizens to disarm in order to participate in a publicly subsidized education should resign.

NRA and other groups should now challenge these gun free zones. The ability to take public money to create a public service but then deny civil rights and constitutional rights in order to use that public service should not be permissible. Abridgment of the 2A should only be allowed under the strictest scrutiny.

*yawn*

I wish someone would point out to the honorable Senator that the Democrats were going to hold the GOP responsible for the filibuster of the exploitative post-Sandy Hook gun control measures.

The Republicans took back the Senate, with a decent majority, and made really good gains in the House.

In fact, the only politcians I know of who have been held accountable for their stances on the issue are the anti-gun Democrats in Colorado who got themselves recalled for pushing through gun control.

I’ve heard that there are about 20,000 gun control laws on the books across the country. This shooter was in violation of numerous gun laws even before he began his rampage.

Exactly what additional laws have not yet been enacted or thought of, among the 20,000 already on the books???

Dick willfully ignores the many repeat gun felons in his own backyard prowling the streets of gun-wavin’ New Haven. Because more laws make his kind of headlines. Throw-away-the-key consequences, not so much.

He's right. Every politician responsible for creating Gun Free Zones should be hung from lamp posts.

Umpqua Community College is a Gun Free Zone.

This is what happens when you take people's guns away!
