I've been places where open carry is normal. In the woods in Oregon, on the plains of North Dakota. I don't know why we don't stop freaking out about it, and let people carry wherever and however they want. Bad guys would have no chance in a fully armed society. Especially if they look like that!

Needless to say, but the first one to raise a white flag of surrender would be John Boehner.

First, there are already more than 20,000 gun control laws actively on the books today and none of them prevented the tragedy at Sandy Hook. Second, millions upon million of people in America own guns and 99.9999% of them have never and will never do anything like this.

So, let’s lose the hysteria and analyze the facts - a PERSON did this, NOT a hunk of steel. In Portland, a PERSON killed two people in the mall, NOT a hunk of steel! In Denver, a PERSON shot up the theater, NOT a hunk of steel!!

NONE of these facts will matter to the gun-grabbing nanny-staters, because they focus solely on the gun and nothing else. So, what happens if ALL guns are outlawed and forcibly collected by the feds? Someone bent on committing mass murder may turn to knives, hatchets, chainsaws or machetes. So, we outlaw those. The next person to commit a heinous crime may use a bat, poison, poison gas or a semi-tractor. And the one after that may use a car, a pen or pencil, a rock, his hands . . . . . . so when do we blame the PERSON and NOT the inanimate weapon!???

The fact remains that until the left understands that murdering humans by ANY means including their favorite method, abortion, human life will be valueless and more copycats will come out to exercise their demented mass murder of innocent people.

All of that said, it occurs to me that the gun-grabbers are from the leftist school of complete control. What that means is that if 1 person commits a gun crime then, under the leftist theory of the “collective” and “groupthink”, they believe that ALL gun owners will commit mass murder unless they eliminate guns (good luck with that!). So, the calls for more gun control by the left after these incidents is twofold - eliminate the “balance of power” the Founding Fathers so carefully wove into the Constitution and gain total control over the people.

Another part that affects all of this is the fact that laws, whether gun laws, robbery laws, or whatever, are written solely to affect law-abiding citizens. People who commit crimes are called “outlaws” and criminals because they DON’T adhere to the laws created to control or stop their illegal activities.

So, should the left create additional gun control laws, will it prevent the next gun-related crime? Of course not. Laws only affect those of us who obey them. Those who disregard the law won’t be stopped from committing whatever crime they want to commit.

As a final note, Adam Lanza did not own the guns he used to murder all of the people at Sandy Hook Elementary. They were his mother’s guns and they were all legally purchased and registered. Which begs the question, what will any NEW gun control laws accomplish?

I might consider bloomturd serious IF and when he dismisses his armed guards.

If the utopia of a gun free world is the result of their idiotic rants, let him PROVE his belief in it.

Once again, they have the talent for going after the gutter dwelling voters.

The old ‘kiss’ applies here - give up yours bloomy, lead by example!

JMO, but I think that the murdering creep’s attention would be entirely concentrated on his helpless victims since at that moment he is getting his supreme jollies.

He might not even notice that someone with CCW is about to blow the back of his head off.

Amendment II

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

MOLON LAVE!

End of conversation.

My wife is a teacher and she has her CPL. If Governor Snyder signs the bill on his desk, then she will be able to carry concealed on school grounds.

But you know damn well that even if Snyder does sign it (which seems highly unlikely now, after Newtown and after the backlash from signing the Right To Work legislation) that her school district will institute a policy forbidding employees from carrying concealed in the classroom.

We had that conversation over two hundred years ago and it was settled THEN. Everything we hear now is an argument over semantics...and since no one really uses the English language the way it was meant to be used in the first place, all ‘arguments’ are moot. There is no ambiguity in “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” I hear nothing that changes that in the slightest.
If you want to play the semantics game, there is nothing there that tells us what arms, what kind of arms. How many. Where. Or even why. It is ASSUMED to mean firearms. So if they can ASSUME that, when it doesn’t REALLY say that, I guess they DO understand the thing and simply will not admit it which makes them liars and psuedo-imtellectual hypocrites.

With all them Obama Thugs running around out there one would be nuts not to own a gun.
And wasn’t it Obama that threatened “if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” I have never threatened anyone with a gun.

Conservatives need to demand laws requiring all citizens to attend Church or Synagogue EVERY WEEK.

None of the school killers regularly attended Church or Synagogue.

Forcing citizens to attend church is unconstitutional, but that 'detail' doesn't stop liberals from calling for disarming citizens - and it shouldn't stop conservatives.

Every time children are killed we should USE the horror for our own advantage - just like the liberals do.

Forced religion - if you love Children - if you hate them being murdered, you MUST support the only logical solution - forced Church and Synagogue attendance.

Conservatives need to demand laws requiring all citizens to attend Church or Synagogue EVERY WEEK.
