Sorry Bobby. Once again, you’ve got it all wrong. The union lobby is the most FEARED by Congress. Without those union bucks, most ‘RAT politicians would be wearing paper hats and flippin’ burgers.

[Mamzelle]

It’s time to deflect this onto violent entertainment media—like Tarantino and bloody video games.

[DesertRhino]

Well Bob, ever think that might because they represent a point of view held by over a hundred million people?

[tbpiper]

take meaningful action

How about calling the nation to a time of prayer and fasting, seeking God's face. Only problem is that its likely to unravel his whole agenda.

[Democrat_media]

The mainstream media causes these shootings.

These idiots or psychos do it for the fame the media will give them.

The media makes these shooters household names.

Even if an idiot doesn't do it for the fame and attention , the idiot does it because it saw it on TV or somewhere in the media and knows learned how to to it by watching the endless coverage. Advertisers know that repetition and just exposing someone to an idea or suggestion will get them thinking about it. the media know this and are purposefully doing it to cause more shootings. the media are programming these psycho shooters.

Then the evil media uses the killings they created , the victim’s blood to further empower government , to take away our individual rights and freedoms as is their goal. The media do it on purpose as they know other idiots see the massive coverage of the shootings and will copy. The media are pure evil.

Let’s not give this idiot the attention he sought. Let’s not give the media want the media want, but instead turn it on the media and expose them for what they are doing. The media are democrats/socialists and they want to enslave us.

"take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics"

So far we have the following for the Political Class to do:

Quit giving kids all sorts of mind altering drugs.

Institutionalize crazy peeps

Get Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives off of TV and out of the movies.

Stop sales of FPS video games

Train and Arm Teachers

Get rid of most "gun free" zones.

Disarm (emotional thinking) 0bama supporters/voters.

Promote school choice including Home Schooling.

*****

Get on it Bob.

[BobL]

The libs may want to spend the weekend debating gun control, but BELIEVE ME, the Democrat leaders want NOTHING to do with it. They want the House back in 2014 and the last way they can hope to get it is through gun control...AND THEY KNOW IT.

This is going to be fun to watch.

[Bryanw92]

The NRA better get big, hairy, and mean with long fangs real quick because the leftists are coming for the guns and this time they mean business.

[theBuckwheat]

“”We’re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics,” Mr. Obama said....

With liberals (er, now “progressives”), every aspect of life is about “politics”. If politics are really to be “regardless”, then facts must be given their rightful place. What law failed to protect these children? The law the prohibits murder? Check. The law that makes schools a gun-free zone? Check. Is there some flaw in these laws? No. But these facts are inconvenient to those who cannot be honest with their full agenda.

[BenLurkin]

No kidding.

It is the only large interst group whose interest is in preserving the Constitution.

[mirkwood]

The same NRA that supported the reelection of harry reid and congressman mike michaud (d-Maine).

[SirLurkedalot]

Every tyrant on Earth, and all their enablers, can go straight to hell.

Second Amendment Media War

We need to come up with ideas.

The "progressives" in the government, hollywood, and news media are, predictably, dancing in the blood of the dead children in Connecticut. Emboldened by Barak Obama's surprise second-term win (even he was surprised, you could see it in his face), they see the opportunity to "not let this crisis go to waste" and to push for far- reaching gun restrictions.

How far?

As far as they can go.

And, as usual, we on the right are about to get slaughtered in the media war.

They will convince the low information public that more restrictions on gun ownership (or even an outright ban on guns) will solve the problem and end these masacres.Once convinced, the measures taken to restrict gun- ownership, Constitutional or not, will be welcomed.

We know that a big contributor to these incidents are liberal policies. "Gun Free Zones" and the left's reluctance to allow criminally, dangerously insane individuals from being institutionalized have been the largest contributors to many of the recent attacks.

In the case of public schools: why are we not outraged at the continued existence of these federally mandated killing zones? We should be outraged, and we need to make our outrage known.

You know that the left (who's gun-control goal is not now, nor has it ever been about public safety) is going to do their best to manufacture outrage against law-abiding gun owners.

I know that, as conservatives, it is against our nature to organize. It is against our nature to band together behind a common method of acheiving our goals. It is against our nature to commit the slightest act of civil disobedience.

Our nature will continue to bite us in the backside.

It is a small gesture, but as a start, couldn't we print out several of these flyers:

and affix them over the top of the existing "No Weapons Allowed"/"Gun Free Zone" signs that are posted at businesses, schools, theaters, etc.

My hope is that if enough people do this, it will become news, and it may cause some people to think.

I'm sure that it sounds lame to many of you, but sitting around FreeRepublic bitching about our coming loss of freedom is not going to prevent our loss of freedom.I don't want to be the generation that allows freedom to go extinct.

Make no mistake, the media is where we will lose this war if we don't act.

If you have other ideas on how to attempt to use the media to our advantage, please contribute.

Would that it were so but the Trial Lawyers own congress

“When the government fears the people, we have liberty.”

“When the people fear the government, we have tyranny.”

[righttackle44]

Be interesting to see the NRA become the lobby news-types fear.

[Logical me]

100 % of the members of the NRA are armed and will never concede to the liberal gun control jackass in Washington. The were allowed some gun restrictions but the limit has been reached. Want something to fear, better think about millions of guns in the hands of good Constitutional abiding Americans.

[FlyingEagle]

The congress critters got fired last time they banned guns. It will happen again. The only way it will get enacted this time is Decree from the Dictator suspending the 2A and R2KBA. Otherwise no change.

Expect a Presidential Order before Friday this week suspending the second amendment.
