Being a victim family is now a budding cottage industry - as we saw with 9-11 families. To be sure, losing a loved one is traumatic, but we all lose them in mundane ways all the time. Having to surrender our rights and our common sense to the whims of certain select victim classes is one of the many dynamics destroying our liberty.
Roger that. Disgusting display of theatrics seems to be the norm. It’s no longer politics but celebrity status despite the anguish, although they may not realize it, but the msm does, and is pushing it hard. What better than a retired(disgaced, in my mind) Naval officer/astronaut and his wounded wife. Kind of jim and sarah brady in reverse. Truly a sad state of affairs.
Correct. If I were a Senator and they weren’t from my state I would not meet. They can meet staffers just like any other lobbyist. Let the media howl. They will anyway.
very well put- and the sad thing is that htey’ve been brainwashed in to belivign that if they go after law abiding citizen’s right to own guns that they will be safer off- but the realiaty is that the left is telling htem bald faced lies- the ONLY thing that woudl have protected thsoe kids was if there were metal detectors i nthe school AND armed guards who coudl have responded immediately and taken otu hte threat- Our luggage in airports is subjected to strict safety searches, yet kid’s backpacks can’t be searched?
The parents are fightign the WRONG people- they should be SUING connecticut for FAILING to protect their kids in gubmint mandated schools- for FAILING to enforce the 1000’s of gun laws already on the books- for FAILING to provide even a modicum of protection to their children in the fishbowl of ‘gun-free zones’
The left WILL win it’s war agaisnt the constitution and the law abiding citizens of htis coutnry because htere are too many peopel liek htose parents who just don’t get that their govenrment doens’t give a damn abotu their kids, and that their only agenda is gun confiscation of law abiding citizens (thus makign hte world and even MORE DANGEROUS place to live in- because as Thomas Jefferson said (paraphrasing) “Take guns away from the peopel and you give the bad guys uncontested access to masses of unarmed citzens unable to defend themselves’ - basically he was sayign that criminals are BEGGINGour govwenrment to outlaw guns and to confiscate guns- they LOVE gun-free zones- they ARE criminals- so what the hell do they care about obeying gun laws? Nothing! That’s what!
