Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, Connecticut independent, said Sunday the United States should restore a federal ban on assault weapons and also create a national commission on mass violence to examine gun laws, mental health laws, and the link between entertainment and violence in the wake of the deadly shootings in Newtown, Conn., that left 26 victims dead, including 20 children.

That can’t do it unless I agree to it.

The republicans can go to Hell where they belong.

Do you know what I see on earth today?

Evil eating evil eating evil eating evil eating evil eating good.

The dimensions of the former are actually infinite, and the dimensions of the latter are no longer visible.

I am not going to feed the evil of this world by surrendering the rights that God blessed me with.

I am keeping that gift, and I do not care what the consequence is.

I’ve nothing more precious to keep than freedom.

What if they decide to sell out and join the Left in ruling over a nation of peasants who will have no recourse? We could be on the brink of a government-attempted coup against the American people. Or turning this national could just be a slimy way to get Benghazi off the news. Time will tell, but as of tonight I’m a pessimist. The damned GOP can’t seem to see they’re getting the bum’s rush on issue after issue to keep them off balance and responding to too many crises to be effective in addressing the critical issues. The GOP needs to go on the attack, and our televisions need to go off. We have to stop feeding our enemies in the news and media industry. They’re poison to the Republic.

WHy is it that when 20 islamofascists killed 3,000 innocent people—more than 100 times more than were killed on Friday—no one suggested banning jet aircraft?

?????????????

We don’t NEED an assault rifle bill PERIOD. He could have done as much damage with five semi-automatic pistols on his belt.

Due to the recent flurry of tragic crisis, we must ban Crisis. We must not let all these awful events go to waste!

BAN CRISIS!

The link between entertainment and violence? All of rap, some of metal, all violent video games and all violent movies, books and TV shows would end up being banned as well.

I thought Lieberman that idiot was retiring? Did he lie about that, too?

I know Durbin is into his remedial studies these days. Maybe there’s an online Constitution course he could check out.

Ban all bananas.
Too many people have died slipping on a banana peel or chocking on them.
