A veteran Democratic lawmaker believes the nation will go along with stronger gun control laws if President Obama exploits the Newtown, Conn., tragedy and nudges Congress to action.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who represents portions of New York City, said he was encouraged by Mr. Obamas statement on Friday afternoon that the mass shooting, which claimed the lives of 20 young children, requires meaningful action by Congress, but hopes those words turn into concrete legislation.
These incidents, these horrible, horrible incidents are happening more and more frequently. And they will continue to happen more and more frequently until someone with the bully pulpit, and that means the president, takes leadership and pushes Congress, Mr. Nadler said during an appearance on MSNBCs The Ed Show with Ed Schultz.
Mr. Nadler was asked whether the Newtown tragedy could be the turning point in many Democrats longstanding struggle to enact stronger gun laws.
I think we will be there if the president exploits it, and otherwise well go on to the next incident, Mr. Nadler said.

I wonder if Obama sheds tears over children killed as collateral damage from drone attacks. It couldnt possibly be phoney and part of a move to gun control, could it?
Billy Jeff ..... Show them some fake tears .... And by the way they will
Forget you didn’t cry over F& F fallen, or Bengahzi. Heroes.
A real media would have found out exactly what “meaningful action” the President had in mind. Its like the CHANGE.... on a scale of mixed capitalism to complete Communism where on that scale Obama’s CHANGER gets us is still moving left... for the “meaningful action” I suspect it means as far leftwing as I can politically take the country, so gun control is definately now top of the agenda.
Obama already has and will cotniue. What does a shooting have to do with any President? He’s the manager of the federal government, not the nation’s king or Lord. He isn’t someone we should look to for advice or sympathy.
Stolen for maximum dispersal.
Go Go Go !
Let them all now how we feel.
These anti-constitutionalists do not understand it is a RIGHT- of self defense, and it is a right for it from an intolerable government foreign or domestic. They CANNOT take this away.
No gun law would have prevented the son from killing his Mom. But changing the media coverage of these kinds of things— WOULD. No media attention— period. Because that is what these worms want— attention.
Libs also don’t understand that this isn’t the first time someone has killed elementary children. The first time the person did not use a firearm except to trigger a bomb. Truly horrific by an adult. Story is appalling. 38 children killed— still the deadliest mass murder in a school in US history.

The media blasts the picture of this creep into everyone’s TV, and every detail of its life 24/7 , making it world famous , making it a household name.
Question:
Does the media realize that this coverage of its life will create copy cats who seek fame or to go out in a blaze of glory ?
My answer: Yes the media know this and purposefully report on it in such a manner as to create more copy cats that seek fame or glory .They could report on the killings but not the identity, nor details of how it was done so as to not encourage copy cats but they do because the media want this to happen so they can empower government, take away our gun rights , take away our freedom, our rights etc. .The media created the situation where now mass shootings are happening very frequently as they didn’t happen with this frequency in previous decades if at all then. Then the media get excited and happy that their work paid off when one happens and they go all crazy reporting it like sharks in a feeding frenzy.
The presstitutes gin this stuff up, then squawk bloody murder about ‘gun control’ when it happens again. How about let’s have some ‘media control’? Do the presstitutes ‘cause’ massacres? They certainly are ENABLERS of copycats and provide plenty of pubicity and encouragement for these evil ones to look for a public venue to exploit. The so-called ‘news media’ have my everlasting disgust .... not only from this sort of stuff but from two personal experiences I’ve had with them. Fricking ghouls .... no regard for the feelings of anyone other than getting some sort of story, accurate or not, on the TV screen or front page of the newspaper.
