...urges "an honest and open conversation about firearms."

In other words, a sweeping firearms ban.

Go ahead, trample the Second Amendment too! That’s the ticket! I got a little pissed when I saw the “media” toadies labeling that last shooter as a “former Marine”. I don’t remember them labeling all of the previous mass killers as “former college students”. The “media” is scum.

Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said the Democrats are taking "exactly the right approach" by emphasizing the need for an honest debate on the nation's gun laws.

Since when has any Democrat engaged in an honest debate about anything?

Where would one even find an honest Democrat?

Yes, they need to be more aggresive and specific. They need to let the electorate know just how far they want to trample the 2nd amendment.

I know why it’s “timid.”

How do they define “reasonable”?

In Democrat-land, this means shouting down your opponents, imposing your agenda by fiat, and jailing or killing anyone who objects.

"Reasonable" = you give them all your guns, and they won't kill you.

What part of “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” don’t these imbeciles get?

ALL gun laws are unconstitutional.

They didn’t call Nidal Hasan at Ft Hood an Islamic terrorist, either,

But that’s what he is.

Democrats always have to lie about their true intentions. If people ever got the straight scoop, they would reject them out of hand. However, we can never rest. Just look at how effective the Dems have been in making homosexuality acceptable in the last 10 years. They never rest until they achieve their objectives. We must fight them on every point and never give them an inch when it comes to gun rights or any other issue. Just when we think we have delivered the knockout punch, they rise again like some hungry zombie.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. It all gets very tiring, but we are running a marathon, not doing a 100 yard sprint.

Nothing like firing up one of the biggest single issue voting blocks for the opposition.

Precisely. Can't add a thing to that.
