Gun control policy ideas more than just talk
The Los Angeles Times ^ | December 22, 2012 | Melanie Mason, Washington Bureau

Posted on 12/22/2012 6:51:50 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Just one day after President Obama tapped Vice President Joe Biden to lead an initiative on gun violence, Jon Adler was at its first meeting, along with Cabinet secretaries and organizations representing law enforcement.

Not much lead time, but no matter: Adler, national president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Assn., had a list of policy changes — from legislative to regulatory to "tactical" coordination — at the ready, with granular detail. He cited, chapter and verse, the law that makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly possess a firearm in a school zone. He wanted that upgraded to a felony.

No shortage exists of policy ideas to reduce gun violence. Law enforcement groups, gun-safety advocates and other organizations weighing in on the firearms debate have churned out policy prescriptions for years. Most of the time, the recommendations have simply gathered dust. Now, in light of the Connecticut school shooting, advocates hope some of their proposals may become law.

New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg released a statement with his policy wish list less than an hour after Obama announced the Biden-led talks. In addition to shoring up the criminal background check system and introducing laws to ban assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, Bloomberg detailed immediate actions the president could take. Among them: ordering all federal agencies to send records to the national gun background check database...

That was quick, wasn't it? Almost like they had all this pre-planned.

Unlike the stupid party, leftists have EVERYTHING planned.

The scripts are planned well in advance. The media is prepped with talking points. The lefty politicians are prepped. Their sympathizers are all prepped and ready to go when the signal is sent.

Their Sandy Hook shooting response had been ready to go for some time. The theater shooting was not good enough. They needed kids. Perfect! Right before Christmas!

Their Traybon shooting response had been ready to go for some time. They needed a white guy. Someone named Zimmerman was just perfect. Oops! Didn't really want the Hispanic guy they got. Someone messed up and now they're stuck with Zimmerman.

They needed a white guy.

The Virginia Tech killer was Asian and it is really difficult, from looking at his photo, discerning just exactly what Lanza is. He doesn't look human.

That is what is so maddening. It is obvious that the law wouldn’t work and is for curbing guns from law-abiding citizens. It certainly wouldn’t have stopped the Sandy Hook killer.

The hard drive was destroyed. Might be impossible to find who he was chatting with? Funny there was another school mass shooting in Okla. that didn't go off as planned. Just a coincidence.

The tactical reactions to their gun confiscation acts should be immediate, multiple and and massive.

It will be a Ft. Sumter moment.

"Adler, national president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Assn....the law that makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly possess a firearm in a school zone. He wanted that upgraded to a felony."

Make the law, and charge Adam with a felony! That would save the kids that he murdered.

[Little irony and sarcasm there.]

I’m guessing the photo in question is the one where the shooter’s head looks like a skull - wided eyed and very narrow mouth and chin, and very grainy black & white.

“He cited, chapter and verse, the law that makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly possess a firearm in a school zone. He wanted that upgraded to a felony. “

Yeah, that’ll fix the problem.

I have come to the conclusion there are no coincidences, none. This screwball was being coached or mind-controlled by the Soros gang. They failed at Fast and Furiious and they killed 20 innocent kids to push their Communist disarming agenda. It’s a means to an end, no God, no morals, no love of anything but unadulterated power.

Power to a Marxist is the only thing that matters, because no would ask to be poor, restricted in movement, no opportunity for a business and shoddy healthcare voluntarily.

These maggots adore Satan, and are using the Islamists as their soldiers along with their willing American and European Socialists/media who push the lie. Over and over. Gun control is to enable their long-term goals, not for safety, just the opposite.

I weep for those Newtown families. You can see that the Left has no conscience or soul, they will murder kids to gain power.

I just hope others can see this, too.

...the law that makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly possess a firearm in a school zone. He wanted that upgraded to a felony.

And of course that makes anyone driving past a school with signs "School Zone, speed limit 15 MPH" an automatic felon - or are we to trust they won't keep pushing the limits until we are helpless before them?

This area has no room for "compromise". The people we are dealing with are like Obozo "compromising" with Bonehead over the fiscal 'cliff" - they will accept nothing but total surrender and we must burn all the white flags...

Perfect.

Ditto for our home-grown Media/Leftist Complex.

"...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
