State of the Union to Feature Victims of Gun Violence
ABC News ^ | 2/08/13 | John Parkinson

**SNIP**

Langevin, who is serving in his seventh term, has invited one of his constituents, Jim Tyrell, to attend the address. Tyrell’s sister, Debbie, was murdered in 2004 during a robbery at a convenience store she owned in Providence, R.I.

Langevin is the first quadriplegic to serve in the House. As a 16-year-old, he was injured while working with the Warwick Police Department in a Boy Scout Explorer program when an officer handling a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol thought the chamber was empty, and pulled the trigger. A bullet bounced off a metal locker, striking Langevin in the neck and severing his spinal cord.

Carlos Soto, the brother of Newtown victim Vicki Soto, will attend as a guest of Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn. Vicki Soto has been remembered as a hero for shielding her first grade students in the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting last December.

As far as the left is concerned, Americans cannot
be trusted with these high capacity lead delivery systems.

IF the NRA had ANY guts at all, they woudl take soem of the 100’s of millions of dolalrs they make and run an ad before and after the address showing a large goup of little old ladies who were SAVED because they had guns i nthe house AND used them! and show mothers who were able to succesfully defend themselves when armed itnruders broke into their homes intendign htem harm, and showing asking the question “If the left thinks the police are all we need for self defence, then how coem 28 children died at Sandy Hook? How come columbine happened? How come Virginia tech happened? The police WERE NOT THERE to protect ANYONE i nthsoe gun free zones! Thety GOT THERE TOO LATE- just as they almsot ALWAYS do! And the NRA should make it clear that IF the police are all we need for protection, then EVERYONE in public office shoudl fire their personal guards and simpyl wait until police arrive AFTER they get to a phone if someoen should threaten them or break into their homes etc- just liek they want all of us to have to do

The Republicans should leave all their guest seats empty to represent the lives destroyed in future generations by the current Dems treasonous overspending.

They’d need the Superdome to house just a tenth of the victims of gun violence from democratically-controlled cities and towns for last year.

Obama and his cronies will NEVER mention what is going on in Chicago because it doesn’t fit their agenda..as long as the shooter is white its worth reporting and using to their advantage..if the shooter is a black gang banging thug not a peep mentioned about it..because the left knows you will never get guns out of the hands of gang bangers, they want the gangs to keep their guns its the rest of us they want to disarm

Tuesdays SOTU address is going to be spectacular dog-and-pony-and-bovine excrement. These people are shameless. I’ll be polishing my bulldog, sorry Ham Ham.
Auto-correct says the Rubble kid’s name is ‘Ham-Ham’ and AC is right.

If Marco’s response is not to feature people who have used guns to prevent violent crimes, he’s a moron.
