As mind-numbing as today’s horror is, Bloomberg’s brand of tyranny will be worse.

Why would we want to live under such a government? No retirement account, no private property, all of that comes right along with the gun control package.No thanks.

Hey Bloomberg..why don’t you tell that to the people of Blauvelt, NY...That’s where the headquarters of one of your state’s corporations is-—KAHR weapons, gun manufacturer!

and don’t forget to tell Colt...(connecticut) ...Ruger (n. Hampshire).

Gun makers...the only companies that are hiring because their sales are going through the roof! Thanks to you f...g Libs and your Great society!

Yeah. Right. Like Oboma, an uber liberal, is going to do something to change the "anything goes" liberal culture that's rotting this country from within. Heck, he's trying to create more of it!!

Demanding a liberal do something to stop liberalism isn't going to get anywhere. They want MORE sitting ducks and death. They're doing everything they can to make sure it happens.

I’m not going to comply to any law that violates my civil rights at all.

But I don’t think it would be smart to spend money on something the government will take away.

And the govermnent will get most them with out the cold dead finger prints on the metal.

The guns used in crime will still in circulation.

In NYC only the criminals have guns. People are getting killed in NYC, and the disarmed population has no self defense.
A guy could walk up to someone and shoot him in the head, and no one can do anything to stop the guy. He can just get in his car and drive away.

Get ready for reclassification of semi automatics to NFA status. The initial $200 tax will be waived, but subsequent sale/purchase will require intense background checks, $200 transfer tax and even address of storage.

All by one executive order.

Using the deaths of these little ones to further their political agenda - within minutes.

Yep. They couldn't wait to pile up their little bodies and use them as a pedestal.
The anti-defence liberals will be partying tonight! They're dancing for the cameras already.
Oh, and that little tear wipe by Oboma? Excellent performance. Bravo. Give that man an Oscar.

If they do not address the facts of this tragedy, they are just politicizing.

The Mother allowed her mentally ill son to have access to guns. She paid for that with her life, as well as the children.

Is this already addressed by existing laws?

Meant to say that if you think it’s time to bury them, then it’s time to use them.

CT already has the 4th most restrictive gun laws in the nation!

Where did you get that info? I, and almost everyone I know, own guns in CT.

They will shoot for the moon......... gun show loophole, new AWB. But the one thing I think they have the best shot at will be a hi-cap mag ban.

1.) EO banning importation of firearms (just like what happened with Chinese firearms and ammo.

2.) EO banning imported ammo.

3.) Mandatory registration of "assault weapons" with failure to comply being a federal crime. No grandfather clause. You could be busted for mere possession.

4.) Big taxes on ammo (can also be pursued at the state level.)

5.) Having the BATFE "re-interpret" existing laws to criminalize classes of firearms.

6.) Having the EPA go after lead ammo.

7.) Ramming the UN Small Arms Treaty through a Senate willing to act due to a high-profile shooting and not wanting to look like "bad guys" for opposing it.

8.) A ban on "high-capacity" magazines as a "reasonable measure" that could probably sail through congress in the wake of this shooting.

9.) Going after their favorite invented bogeyman of the so-called "gun-show loophole".

10.) Assault Weapons ban, if they think they can get it through. They may go for it anyway because they can demonize "evil Republicans" and it is a win-win for them.

11.) Federal (DOJ), state, and municipal lawsuits against gun manufacturers.

12.) Using safety to prohibit multiple weapons like California has done with their infamous "drop test" with has banned things like the good-old S&W Model 10 revolver. Yep, the older Model 10s just don't measure up as safe. What's even worse, is that the guns on the approved list have to have their approvals renewed. Gun approvals expiring have been eliminating guns from the list. "Oops, looks like you can't buy that gun anymore. it's no longer on our little list." Anybody from CA please correct me if I'm in error on this one.

And that's just what I could think up at a moment's notice. They can do a lot without having to attempt an outright ban or confiscation.
