Good for him!

Sorry...but as soon as I saw them come out, I flipped channels. What a revolting thing to do to these kids.
They're saving those for the congressional hearings and the SOTU address.
Maybe some TV ads later, if and when bills get to the floor.
Help stop them in their tracks - write the committee members to reject these bills and not report them out of committee:

Where are your memes? Show us. I think you are exactly right, btw.
The Plattsburgh Daily Republican, July 12 1933
“The violation of a law, if the authorities have evidence of such violation should suffice in placing a violator behind; prison bars. Criminals have gone on committing crimes, finding loopholes in our laws with the help of lawyers whose only interest was in the big fees that their clients gave them and thus getting off with light sentences and reverting again to careers of crime. A crime is a crime and the perpetrator henceforth must not be let off easily. Society must be protected from the depredations of gangland. It may be necessary for citizens themselves to band together for their own protection, unless the authorities. take steps to curb the lawless elements. Citizens may be forced into forming vigilance committees, after the fashion of the pioneers of the far West.”

Sandy Hook pro-2nd parent bump for later......
Liberals would rather see innocent kids die than “allow” parents to protect them.
This is one example of how the liberal mind is an aberation.
Yes, I saw it as sickening. That, and Obama’s pre-game interview ruined the game for me.
He might be willing to try, but not once he realizes the political fallout he’ll take from it.

He’s probably just one of those tparty whack jobs. /sarc
We can at the grass roots, the E-GOP and I guess the GOP in CT is so dysfunctional we would have to drag him across the line. I am sure we could get Ted Cruz, Sarah etc, to put their shoulders against the wheel...
