Can you imagine a White House occupied by an insipid creature like John Kerry? Surrounded by anti-gun zealots, the Brady Bunch would be operating carte blanche right out of the Oval Office.
The solution to this, of course, is MORAL CHARACTER, something all-too-lacking in our society today. Of course, this optimal solution is also the most difficult to achieve, especially in this emasculated and victimhood-laden age. Figures!
the way to reestablish moral character is to recouple cause and effect.
we have for far too long made it a public policy to divorce personal responsibility for outcomes from personal action.
too many laws, too manny nannies, not enough lumps taken in full in youth.
Joe, Improving kids moral character does matter - but thats in the hands of parents (or should be). When parents dont do their job, the rest of us should protect our own. If others havent said it - I"ll do so - NATIONAL CONCEALLED CARRY. NOW!
"I was pleased that President Bush wishes to assemble a conference to study the issues surrounding school gun violence in America. As I said earlier in response to these terrible shootings our nation has witnessed in recent days, it is past time for us to have a national conversation about gun violence in America.
"The gun violence prevention community is composed of passionate volunteers and survivors of gun violence who have a great deal of wisdom to offer on this subject. We have long worked closely with the parents of young people who have been killed or injured, with educators who have to cope with the aftermath, and with law enforcement professionals who have experience in this area.
"I would urge President Bush to ensure that the proposed conference is a comprehensive one, and that both prevention and enforcement policies be discussed at any meetings on school gun violence. The gun violence prevention community stands ready to be of any assistance that is needed."
As the nation's largest, non-partisan, grassroots organization leading the fight to prevent gun violence, the Brady Campaign, working with its dedicated network of Million Mom March Chapters, is devoted to creating an America free from gun violence, where all Americans are safe at home, at school, at work, and in our communities.
The Vultures are out as expected.
The Second Amendment...
America's Only Homeland Security!
Be Ever Vigilant!
That said, and as cold as this may sound to some, I really wish the tormented and demented who have forsaken other avenues and decided to end their lives would just cut to the chase and leave the others, (especially the kids), out of it.
