Earth to assclown. Terrorism and lawful ownership of firearms are NOT the same thing. So, Mr. 'just a guy covering the 2016 elections', back to sleep for you. Just because you have your panties in a bunch doesn't mean the rest of us do. I did notice something else during the Q&A on cnn last night. They kept mentioning that Americans are "living in fear" after these attacks. HUH? I checked my fearmometer this morning and it remains near the bottom of the scale. Alert, yes. Fear, not so much.

If you have effective terrorist control, that’s all the gun control you need.

Not to mention the bozo in question is using the bogus mass shooting statistic which has been debunked.

Because they are only inter-related in the drug addled minds of retarded treasonous Democrats.

The ONE thing that states can do is to allow (if currently outlawed) and/or expand the availability of CCW licenses.

See how "journalism" works, Brian?

Not once did they address the fact that here in the United States we have more mass shootings than days of the year.

All in gun free zones. Maybe concealed carry would be a better idea. "Gun free" isn't working out so well.
Someone should mention that.

Gun control is a strawman argument not worth the time of serious people.

No need to discuss gun control, unless the government will finally start enforcing the laws that are ON THE BOOKS NOW!!! And many of those are totally unnecessary. Not until after Obama and his thugs are gone, of course.

"They kept mentioning that Americans are "living in fear" after these attacks."

LOL. Yup...and those "living in fear" are snapping up firearms at a phenomenal pace. The whole "schtick" of the left's gun control "fear" is a complete invention of the liberal media, not anything in the real world.

The whole "assault weapon" meme is ridiculous. An "assault weapon" is the LAST thing a thinking terrorist would want to carry. There are easily available firearms FAR more deadly in a "kill as many as possible" scenario that "assault weapons".

Just parroting Hillary’s hilarious talking points this week. Only a mental midget thinks gun control has anything to do with terrorism. Does a person who painstakingly plans the murder of dozens or hundreds of innocent people give a rat’s ass about obtaining a gun legally. It’ utterly preposterous. I have seen people sharing her ‘attack’ on Facebook and those individuals are permanently branded stupid for as long as I know them.

Actually, Ted Cruz did make an indirect reference to (the stupidity of) gun control early on in the debate. It was in his discussion of the administration’s response to threats of terrorism in which he mentioned all of the efforts were aimed at American citizens, not the bad guys.

Calling Ted Cruz... Want a great sound bite? How about: “Thanks in no small part to the ineptitude and fecklessness of the Obama administration and former Secretary of State Clinton, America is faced with an increasingly greater threat of terrorism at home. And what is the administration’s and Secretary Clinton’s response? Disarm the American public so more Americans can stand or lie defenseless and wait to be shot like the victims in Paris and San Bernardino. Not under my watch!”

Gotta get together with JoeProBono about creating a graphic of a “Fearmometer”. Give me a week.

Ranging from ^Indifferent^ through ^complacent^ then moving to ^alert^ and finally “Holy Schmidt! We’re all Gonna Die!”

Suggestions welcome.

This isn't really about gun control, it's about the ability of the media to drive the issues. They wanted questions about their favorite issue of the moment at the debate - they DEMANDED them! Who, after all, are the rightful and undisputed rulers of public discourse? And they were ignored.

There is, frankly, no discernible public drive for additional gun control laws outside the usual liberal fever swamps, and the incessant drum beating is growing very old. Expect some serious baby bawling as the election approaches and it becomes crystal clear that they aren't driving the national agenda anymore. Many of them have no other reason for being in that profession, after all.

I’m sorry, did the debate moderators ask gun control questions which the candidates then ducked and dodged? Because I watched the whole thing and I don’t recall any.

Perhaps this idiot should complain to Wolf Blitzer, Dana Bash and Hugh Hewitt.

Not all of the Republican candidates ignore gun control.

Ted Cruz, for one, is quite serious about it. And he walks the walk, not just talks the talk.

Here's Ted, practicing gun control...
