Can't remember who said it; saw it on FNC; someone said the liberals will use the bodies of these dead children to push their agenda. Shame on the anti-gun nuts!

wp; Many of us once took an oath. To defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, including DOMESTIC ones. Hope it doesn't come to that; but if I'm physically able to, I will join the fight if it does!

speakingup; Great post indeed! ladyofthehill; That is funny, putting number two in charge of this "problem". LOL itsjustme; Liberals don't have enough sense to even figure your last sentence out! It is beyond their scope of understanding. Butch; being black isn't the reason I don't like him; I don't like him because he's just like the peanut farmer that gave away the Canal and didn't have a pair to get our people out of Iran! Along with a few other things of course.

the usurper in chief is a POS...The only reason he studied constitutional law is so that he can find loop holes to destroy the constitution. What's that saying, "know thy enemy"...The constitution is his enemy...

Speakingup, you made great points. The government wants to outlaw guns. What will that accomplish? Here are a few things it will accomplish. It will increase the black market for assault style weapons. It will turn the average law abiding citizen into criminals by owning guns. It will increase gun violence. Out elected officials are stupid as hell if they honestly believe gun control is the answer. Treat criminals like criminals, do something to protect the rights of victims, not the criminals, make crime punishable and make the punishment suitable. Carry out the death penalty, make criminals fear breaking the law. Gun control. What a f'ing joke. There are to many guns out there now to even try to control.

what was the old saying folks. IF YOU OUTLAW GUNS ONLY THE OUTLAWS WILL HAVE THEM. Other countries respect our gun rights. That is what keeps them at bay. They know the odds of one being in every home. Ban them and I'd want 50. As for the fact of being protected by our government. Our vote helped get our government in office. I guess we failed our self. I bet you Obama voting gun owners love your vote. I also get sick of this racism when it comes to the man. Which one are you complaining about. Webster has a word for that. Also in that definition it brings up a mule. I wish all the people that voted for him were required to bray like a jackass at noon every day for a week.

All the political rhetoric is nauseating. Very few are speaking up around the real issues of decay of the moral fabric of America and loss of core family units. Trying to "fix" things by outlawing certain guns (been done before) or magazine sizes is like trying to cure the common cold by regulating facial tissues. In China there have been more than one tragedy involving deaths of dozens of children, one recently, in which a knife was used by an assailant to kill and injure little ones. Deal with criminals as criminals, and mentally unstable accordingly. Don't make criminals out of law abiding citizens. The thugs will always have their guns. Much like outlaw cocaine as never abolished it, ... outlawing certain gun aspects will not keep it out of criminal hands... but don't stop me from having the option to defend my home and family from someone the government can't or won't protect us from................

Lordoflords; They aren't going away. Yes, they want socialism; but they want it HERE. The first step is taking away our guns. Fortunately, that isn't going to happen in my lifetime. frdmfrst; TJ was right, but you'll never convince the liberals. They are content living on their knees. Agreed Mr Tom. Millions of clips floating around already, how ya gonna get rid of them Osama? ity501; You are correct. A news program pointed out that most gun deaths are not from "assault" weapons; these are responsible for most of the mass shootings though. We are one of the world's leading exporters of assault weapons; how you going to get rid of them? Get rid of military weapons? The VA Tech shooter used 2 pistols. The Bath School disaster was carried out without guns. ( 1927 ). The VA Tech shooter had mental issues, yet no one did anything about it. Start locking the nuts up like they used to, lock up the thugs that commit crimes with guns; and keep these people locked up for good, and the crime rate will go down.
