Any discussion on restricting the First Amendment for violent movies and violent teaching video games?

May I assume that after all our guns are collected, the anti-gun crowd will come after our knives (including kitchen and tableware), automobiles, bathtubs, swimming pools, airplanes, balloons, prescription drugs, and summer vacations. All these kill innocents.

Maybe it is time to confront these perpetually hysterical “activists” with the facts that: (1) You cannot make life totally safe, and (2) Crazy people should be locked up.

Well, the proper way is a constitutional amendment. Anything less is just more oppression from the Government.

I hope everyone is contacting their congresspeople in support of the 2nd Amendment.

Me too. I’m so angry at these marxist SOBs that are taking away our individual rights and freedoms I’m ready for CW2. I’d rather these monsters come at me with force than to enslave us like they are doing with this stupid brainwashing by the media etc.

I say we throw the political gauntlet down right back at them and change defamation laws so that every Jim Holmes (”who’s a member of the Tea Party, by the way”) and “Ryan” Lanza out there can easily recover hundreds of millions in lawsuits whenever innocent people are smeared by the MSM.

I figure since he has thrown down the ‘gauntlet’, he should be the first to mavigate it by giving up all secret service protection and walking his own gauntlet unarmed and putting his own children in a DC school with regular ‘folks’.

If he has used a stolen car instead of stolen guns to kill the same number of people, would there be calls for more "car control"?
Nah. The headlines would only last a day.

Fair enough, Obama. Lets start with a pilot program right in your home town of Chicago. Give us a ring back when you get the killing down below double digits on any given weekend in Chicago.

Root cause analysis should demonstrate that guns aren’t the problem here, they’re simply the tools being used to bring the problem to fruition.

If the Republicans are smart they’ll use their control of the House to hold hearings to conducts thorough root cause analysis. Which will expose the cynical attempt to exploit tragedies like this for what they are.

Kinda like the liberals in Michigan.

In one sentence they’re calling on the governor to veto the bill that would allow guns in schools and in the next, they’re threatening his 16 year old daughter.

We’ll probably be doing our Christmas shopping in the firearms department of Cabelas this year.

My husband has decided he really needs another rifle, and I really need a small, easily concealed revolver.

Dear Prezzy,

How many children have been killed by Fast and Furious guns ? What ? You do not know. Why not ? Have all the guns been recovered ?

How many children have been killed by the rebels you supported and funded in Syria and Libya ? What ? You do not know. Why not ?

All weekend long, “the comforter in chief, the comforter in chief, the comforter in chief” is all I heard. I almost threw myself of a bridge this morning.

The lesson of the Sandy Hook massacre is that the government cannot protect you or your family. The government cannot be your last line of defense.

Those kids were murdered in government custody, behind a security wall, in a gun free zone, in the 4th most gun-regulated State. Those kids had all the protection gun control could give ... and they were massacred by one scrawny 20-year-old punk.

Gun control failed those kids. Don’t let the government take away the means for you to protect yourself because of their failure.
