Ping to a Republican-American Editorial.
If you want on or off this ping list, let me know.
The very first line of this editorial is a lie. There was no “national conversation” demanded by Americans. It was all scripted political theatre released on cue by the Reichstag going up in smoke.
Actually, getting the seriously mentally ill off the streets is a good idea. It seems to me that James Holmes, Jared Loughner, and maybe Cho Seung-Hui and Adam Lanza, were as crazy as shithouse rats. But nobody will know for sure, and commitment policies won’t stop all the massacres.
Here’s what the gun-grabbers don’t seem to realize: over the past 50 years, all but one of these mass shootings occurred in places that were effectively gun-free zones. Congress and the President should work to get rid of the gun-free school zones law and allow concealed carry reciprocity, to make these massacres much less likely to happen. Private establishments such as malls should also drop their gun-free zone policies.
But they won’t, as far as I can tell.
This may work out well. Soon there won’t be a liberal in the U.S. that has a gun.
The legislation we are proposing is “common sense.”
We should do it even if it just saves the life of one child.
The NRA gets its money from the gun manufacturers and doesn’t represent its members, follow the money.
The 2nd Amendment only covers smooth bore muskets.
If there is a firearm in your home you are five times more likely to be killed by a gun than if there was not gun in your house.
Background checks should be on all transfers of firearms and there should be a gun registry that allows the police to trace and hold responsible the last “legal” owner of a firearm.
All firearm owners should be held financially liable for any damage done by a firearm they own, until it is legally transferred to another lawful owner.
There is no valid reason for owning an AR or assault weapon.
There aooear to be gun control talking points.
that is something to worry about.
i really don’t think that changing public policy as grief therapy is a good idea.
if the residents of newtown want to scrap their school, or build a new one when this one is perfectly good, they should pay for it themselves, and not with state/federal money
