Last night, at a memorial service for the twenty children and eight adults killed in Connecticut by an insane, twenty-year-old madman, President Obama began laying the ground work for massive new gun control laws.
Senator Diane Feinstein is already crowing about a “new ” ban on military-style semi-automatic rifles, along with high capacity magazines for both the rifles and handguns. No mention of changing laws that would allow the involuntary hospitalization of people with severe, or violent mental illness. No mention of re-examining medications given to such patients, or the need to change a system that lets these mentally ill folks voluntarily take their medications? Nope, once again, it’s the gun’s fault. By the way, what ever happened to the government program that paid for for having law enforcement officers in schools? That’s a question the Left won’t answer and won’t bring up.
One more time the Progressive’s answer to senseless killing is to strip the law abiding citizens of their right to be able to defend themselves and their families, not only from the insane and bad guys, but from the government as well. What would Feinstein, and the anti-gun Progressives have done if Lanza would have walked into the school with a suicide bomb strapped to his chest? How about if he had done what the boys in the Columbine High School killings did: prepare a couple of propane bombs—not very effectively, I might add. Would Feinstein have written legislation to ban all shotguns if that would have been this mad dog killers choice of weapons? If a crazed killer carries one thirty-round magazine, or three ten-round magazines, what the heck is the difference? It is not the weapons that they carry, but the intent in their minds of what to do with them.
By the way, Mr Obama, what are you going to do about the “botched” gun running operation, “Fast Furious” that you and your buddy Holder ran down in Mexico? The story is circulating that you and Holder tried to set this little illegal gun running operation up to set the stage for stricter gun control, but you boys blew it. Does the fact that thousands of Mexican citizens, and about a dozen American citizens have died (including at least three federal agents) make you an accomplice to murder, or maybe a co-conspirator, Mr Obama? Is that why you had to hide the details of the operation under the cloak of Executive Privilege? What would the public have to say if they knew the details, Mr. Obama?
How about Benghazi, Mr Obama? Four Americans, including our Ambassador, were killed in Benghazi, Libya, despite their please for help? There were enough resources in the area available to have rescued our people, but someone gave a “stand down order” to those forces. The questions are who and why? Word keeps leaking out from various source that it involved you and your Progressives running guns illegally to Al Queda, and the Libyan and Syrian rebels? Is that why officials in the know are suddenly developing amnesia, or are suddenly “unavailable” to answer questions about the fiasco in Libya, Mr Obama?
Senator Feinstein, why don’t you stop trying to disarm law-abiding Americans and start doing your job? Why aren’t you, and your other gun-hating Progressive colleagues trying to get to the bottom of a couple of other massacres, that might have been the direct result of our governments actions? You want to control guns in the U.S. and yet you can’t even control our borders, where a massive amount of illegal weapons are coming in to this country). The United States government is fighting an active shadow war right here at home with radical Muslims, yet you want to disarm law-abiding citizens. Why don’t you spend as much time getting to the bottom of what happened in Libya instead of your domestic anti-gun crusade, Senator Feinstein?
Obama is pushing this country over a fiscal cliff, but now his priority is gun control? I’m getting real tired of this President, his Administration, and Senators like Diane Feinstein letting blatant corruption go unchecked, while they try to figure out ways to strip the rest of us of our Constitutional rights! The priorities of this administration, and the entire Progressive movement are so screwed up because all they want is the power to control our lives. Nothing more, nothing less.
The killings from Columbine to Sandy Hook in Connecticut are all horrific. They are all the more horrific in the sense that they could have been prevented! Armed and trained personnel in the schools, whether it be a police officer on permanent duty in the school, armed and trained school personnel, or a combination of both, these children might all be alive! You strip guns from trained and responsible citizens and the United States becomes one giant shooting gallery. If you want proof just take a look at Chicago, New York, and Washington D.C.! These three cities have the strictest gun control laws in the nation, but these are also the cities with the highest homicide rates in the country? Ask yourself why?
The memorial for those children last night was not the place for politics, but as always, Obama couldn’t resist using the raw emotions of the moment to try and further the Progressive agenda. Those beautiful babies all died because of one man’s evil heart and intentions. The guns were the tools that this freak employed in his quest to shed innocent human blood. So do you punish everyone else in America for what this maniac did, or do we collectively try to find a way to make our society more secure? I hope and pray that we never leave our little ones open to this kind of horror again. I, personally, would rather die with a gun in my hands trying to protect my loved ones than to be helplessly on my knees watching them die.
I said to those who asked me how I would feel if I ever had to use my guns. My answer is this: If I never have to fire my gun in anger then may God bless, and if I do, then may God forgive me. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those in Connecticut, Aurora, Colorado, Columbine, Arkansas, and anywhere else that evil has visited in these United States. May God’s love comfort you during this trying holiday season. God does know what it is like to lose a child.

Before they get too Hasty about infringing on our Constitutional Rights. Maybe the Right People need to Investigate the Rumor of The Libor Scandel with General Electric!! Seems that this Peter Laanza(Father of Adam Laanza), and the Father of the Kid that did the Theatre Shooting in Aurora were BOTH set to Testify in this Libor Scandel, which is a thing to do with General Electric, which is a Big Contributor to Obama!!!! Seems like an Awfully HUGE Coincidence!!! And these Coincidences seem to Follow Obama Around like the Plague!!! I Wonder Why?????
I have been thinking for quite some time, that these school shootings are somehow being orchestrated by the gun grabbers who will stop at nothing! (from the top down), Hey, Whats a few more bodies in the quest for CONTROL , and that is the KEY word, it isn’t about GUNS, it’s about CONTROL
75 million lawful gun owners did not shoot anybody yesterday. Ever wonder why these recent shooters are all decked out in black military garb? It’s like it’s a pattern that is almost too awful to think about. Are there powerful mind controlling drugs that the general population doesn’t even know about being used on these carzed young men? REDD’s post above suggests there are evil forces at work herding us to an unarmed world of subjects and/or slavery. Hang on folks as I really do suspect the last four years ride was milktoast compared to what is now coming down the pyke. Are we so naive to think that the world wars and brutal conflicts of the last century are over and done with? Just because we have thermo-nuclear weapons that make armed conflict between super powers as pointless as tic tac toe doesn’t mean that man cannot devise other ways to inflict pain, suffering and death upon innocents. Bio-weapons, climate altering weapons and maybe even chem trails waiting to be sprayed with an activating agent to cause mass hysteria and/or disease. Keep your eyes and ears open and do not assume anything
Law abiding gun owners don’t go around killing people. It is the mentally deranged individuals that are purchasing guns and using them to kill people. We are definitely seeing the consequences of kicking Christ Jesus and the Holy Bible out of the classrooms and other public places. I can remember when public schools had a morning devotion, pledge of allegiance, Bible verse reading and a prayer over the PA system. Those days are long gone. Good people went too long, doing nothing to prevent godless people from taking control over our country. We have spent too little time on our knees praying for our representatives and the other people that we have voted for and placed in positions of authority. If anything changes with our current moral condition, it must start with us. In this country, you have to commit a terrible crime in order to be committed or arrested. I am not a proponent of gun control but, I think if it were made more difficult to purchase a gun, less killings would occur. No one should be able to purchase an assault rifle. Hunters don’t even use assault rifles to bring down a deer! It is 10 times harder to get learner permit for a 16 year old than it is to purchase a gun! When I took my daughters to get their ears pierced, I had to sign a parental permission slip. If they had gotten pregnant, they could have gone to an abortion clinic and could have gotten an abortion without my knowledge or permission. There is something very wrong with that! An abortion is 100 times more invasive than getting the ears pierced!!! That is how corrupt this country has become in the last 50 or so years! Yep. I don’t think we have not seen the evil that Nobama is capable of but since there were a lot of dependent on the government hand outs people who went to the polls and voted, we are likely going to see what evil Nobama is going to force on America. Yes, Do Not assume anything!!
These aren’t assault rifles. That is just media BS. There is no difference in the function of any semi-automatic just because you put a different stock on it and hang the magazine out the bottom instead of under the barrel! You are never going to stop crime by passing laws. Good Lord, look at the criminals we have in Congress and nothing is done to them. Obama’s staff is full of tax evaders, Rangel is one, Barney Frank and Dodd are nothing more than thieves and nothing is done! Why go after an inanimate object when we let criminals run around loose???
I agree with what and who you vote for is what you’ll get. It’s all part of the dumbing down of America.
Thank God you did not start all the God stuff till the end. Like the Gun…Gods had nothing to do with it either. And they sure did nothing to help!
Satan has control over the earth now, and although God did not stop the killings he was there. And as for guns, the people in government are so corrupted that they fear any one owning a gun because they are afraid so body will use the gun on them.
With taking everything away from The American people and forcing us to pay more taxes and forcing obamacare on everyone and not letting parents have control over their childern and removing the Bible out of publics eye and telling pastor what to preach, this is what is causing the problem.
God is removing his chosen ones out of the way from suffering what we have coming to a world where God is being denounce.
Believe it or not, God was there just like was there when HIS Son went to the cross for you and me. Everyone has the freedom of choice. We choose to do the things that we do, good or bad. Unfortunately, God and the Bible were kicked out of the public school system way back in 1966. Now, we have insane people going around killing our children and we wonder why God doesn’t do anything to stop the madness! We are reaping the harvest of our actions! We have a godless government who thinks people who do have a relationship with God are weak and stupid. Well, I have read the end of the book (Bible) and we who have a relationship with God through Christ Jesus, are the winners. Those who denounce Christ are the losers. Christ is going to return to this planet to set up HIS earthly kingdom. No power on earth, above the earth or under the earth can keep the Bible from being fulfilled. Christians are being striped from our rights because we have voted people into offices of power and they are imposing their thoughts own us. It is our own fault! We want things that only a godless government can give them. The godless government takes from us who can and will work for a living to give to those who won’t work or can’t work because they are over here illegally. Our government is also taking our tax dollars and funding middle eastern countries, putting high powered fire arms in the hands of militants who turn them on our military people. That is what “Fast and Furious” was all about. We have the most corrupt administration in office right now that we have had in many decades. It didn’t all start with Nobama. It started long before Nobama even thought about politics. It may be too late to even attempt to turn things around. With as many people who are dependent on the government for their next meal or the money that they use to buy drugs with, the likelihood that we can turn things around are very slim to none. It doesn’t mean that we should stop trying. By all means, we should not stop praying and believing God for a society that is God fearing, blood bought, a Bible reading nation. God answers prayers. HE also allows us to suffer the consequences of our choices.
Feinstein…..do you remember how Hitler did the same thing? Americans will NOT take the fall for a demented crazy man. We are MILLIONS and you can’t blame semi-automatic weapons with large clips for this. There’s 1001 different ways to commit mass murder so, is your next suggestion going to be to lock up every law abidding citizen who owns a gun? It’s society starting with the Presidential office all the way down who have allowed the desensing of our country through video games, TV, movies, music through the message that murder and killing in any way is acceptable. YOU Feinstein are one of the very people who’s responsible for what happened. You want to stop this kind of stuff from happening then outlaw these types of video games, Suggestive TV, Suggestive movies, Suggestive words in music. THEN, after 10 to 20 years; see if that doesn’t change things in a big way. The most important act of government would be to bring back Christ into the classroom. There, children would learn more than any school book could teach them. Responsibility and the difference between right and wrong.
AMEN!!! Christ Jesus was kicked out of our public school classrooms back in 1966. We are reaping the consequences of that choice. We allowed one atheist to impose her wishes on the rest of the nation. Our courts are still upholding the wishes of atheists. One atheist goes running to the ACLU and the ACLU takes us to court and makes us remove the ten commandments from public arenas. I am thankful that we have won a few of the court battles to keep crosses from being removed. Oh, it isn’t the ten suggestions that atheists are fighting against. Christians have done nothing long enough that Satan has dug his heals in pretty deep. But I have read the end of the book (Bible) and Satan and all who have rejected Christ Jesus loses big time!
You failed it took one person to create abortion on demand, and millions of babies murdered and no one has to anwer to it……..Just in case you never heard, the one who took prayer out of the schools, was found several years ago in Texas, cut up and placed in a plastic bag, he son became a Pastor.
Isn’t it ironic that she was killed when she was the factor in killing millions of babies. Again, this is all a part of the desensing of America. The dumbing down of America under the guise of “progressiveness” which both leading parties adhere to. They won’t admit it but, it’s also a part of population control for land, food, water.
In the mid 90′s when Feinstein and Sarah Brady (Socialist) were on a Nationa wide rampage to outlaw guns at the State Capital level, Feinstein was telling all of America to get rid of their guns while at the same time she was carrying a gun in her pocket book as she went to the Hospital to see her husband. Do as I say not as I do.
There is only one reason these people want your guns and that is because they can’t do some of thethngs they want to do to Americans without the fear of getting killed. When the Government fears the people there is freedom, when the people fear the Government there is Tyanny.
Let it be them that live in fear…
Larry…..the last 2 sentences you made is nothing but the truth! Law abidding gun owning citizens shouldn’t also become the victims in this mess.
We must not become desensitized to the Newtown slayings — and our duty to defend each other — by watching the constant news coverage. Many of those trying to use Newtown as a pretext to turn the US into their genocidal gun-free zone are the same ones who promote the social instability and immorality that predictably inspire most of the murders. Those misfits deserve punishment, not our guns.

I work with people that are all for disarming Americans. They believe that will keep guns and assault weapons out of the hands of mentally deranged people. I do agree that it should be harder to purchase a gun than what it is. I can go into a gun shot, fill out a form, let the clerk make a copy of my photo ID and walk out with a gun 10 to 20 minutes later! That is too easy! I wouldn’t want an assault weapon, just a gun that might hold 7 or 8 rounds of ammo. I don’t have the need for an assault weapon! A German lugar would more than suffice with a clip that would hold 7 or 8 bullets. Nobama is using these senseless killings as an opportunity to preach his no guns in America message. If you think gun control laws are going to disarm killers, thieves and the like, you have another thought coming! Gun control laws will only keep law abiding citizens from arming themselves.
I agree with you up to a point. If you look at the history of the world or, just from the time of Hitler; he used the same methodology to disarm people and we know what happened after that. I believe you, as a law abing citizen should have the right for assault weapons with large clips because I know that there is in the heart of the deviant to kill in mass numbers using other forms of materials. Society IS the problem by too much freedom by allowing suggestive materials to be seen and heard that conditions by desensitizing or like I like to put it…..dumbing down of citizens ie: video games, TV, movies, music AND MEDIA. If TV wouldn’t promote these acts by constantly reporting on it people that are disillusioned wouldn’t see it as a way to become famouis in their minds. Infamous truly but, they don’t think that way. The media should use common sense in the reporting and leave their political points of view out of it. Report it but, with constraint knowing if too much is reported that the sicko’s begin to think that they too can be on TV.
It’s not the issue of whether any of us NEED an Assault Weapon!! It’s that we have the Right as American Citizens through the Constitution of the United States to have one if we want it!! Besides, Noone in America is allowed to possess an actual “Assault Rifle” except for Police and Military Personnel!! What the Government has brainwashed people into thinking as Assault Rifles are just Semi-Automatic Rifles with High Capacity magazines!! And they are no more Dangerous than a regular Semi- Automatic Hunting Rifle!! It’s just a ploy to get Gun Haters to prompt their Government to Ban them!! Which they have NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO DO!!!
Good old Feinstein,,,the hypocritical witch…keeps pushing for gun control and taking away out firearms as she walks around with her concealed firearm. Yeh, I know, important people like her and the Kennedys should be able to have guns..just not us peons!!!
I have read a lot of the posts here. How many in here think they know what an assault weapon is?mejames do you have a clue as to what the gun is you said you would like is? The Luger was made in Germany to kill people period.You/I can’t buy an assault weapon in the United States of America.To own one you need a class 3 fire arms permit,You have to log every time you take the weapon out and log every bullet you fire. I can show you all two pictures of guns,Both the same weapon.One is a standard rifle,The other looks like a AK or AR. The trouble is,They are the same weapon,Different setup. They both are SEMI AUTOMATIC Not one is a tru ASSAULT WEAPON. You people really need to do a little research.The Federal Government banned all FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPONS back in the late 30s or early 40sOf those still out here 99% are in collections.I own a few guns,NOT WEAPONS, One is the AR STYLE.But it is as much an assault weapon as a BB GUN. You might want to start bitching about BOWS also.They are dead silent and kill just as fast.But you never hear them. So go on now give me a fit about my thinking.My people have fought every battle to make America Great. Now it seems that the panty wasted crybabies are winning. America was built on Guns,Guts and Glory. May God Bless America again and keep her free.
I totally agree with you. There’s a BIG difference between a semi-automatic and a full automatic. I’m thinking we’re both veterans. Vets know the difference but, some politicians and progressive liberal socialist don’t. Oh yeah….Feinstein doesn’t for sure. She would just love Hitler for his gun control but, I don’t think he would have liked her much. In fact, I’m sure of it.
It’s not the Gun he wants Control over!! It’s the High Capacity Magazines for the Guns itself!!! If Obama wants those Magazines so bad, what is going to keep him from getting magazines that hold just 15 to 17 rounds instead of 30 rounds?? They won’t just disable the AR15′s out there, but will also disable all the SEMI-AUTOMATIC Pistols as well!! The Politicians don’t care about YOU, ME, or any of our CHILDREN!!! They only care about CONTROL over the POPULATION!!!!
This has to be the most paranoia I have seen posted for an article yet. Thanks America for putting so much time into your comments. They provide me so much entertainment.
I love the way some of them start out as a sermon.
My favorites, “Satan is running the world now” “Jesus Christ was kicked out of the classroom in 1966″ So many unfounded accusations; so much fun.
There is none so stupid as those who do not see! Aloha, you are an idiot! See you in the FEMA camps, stupid!!!
A$$loha…I am impressed. How you simultaneously put your foot in your mouth while having your head up your a$$ is TRUE talent. Now go back to your one-handed “quiet time” with your Blowbama poster, dumbsh*t…
Hahahaha…I’m laughing my keester off at the reply you gave Hawaai 05 A$$loha??? That was brilliant. Sometimes you just have to forgive the idiot in some people. They either are born with it or, contract it by being around other idiots.
When everything is all sorted out we will eventually find out the government was behind all of this. We’ve had one calamity after another since 2008 when we started “pushing forward”. This was engineered by them to have a “reason” to destroy the 2nd Amendment and our rights. Everyone feels the pain of the loss of innocent lives, nobody is lessening the impact of that but it didn’t have to happen. Notice that it happened in what was considered the safest place to live in America. That was not an accident. Someone planned that horrific disaster to achieve a goal.
I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but Unhpywithdc I am thinking the same thing. If I remember right, Columbine happened when the administration was pushing for gun control, then the shootings back east and on and on. The timing is just too convenient. It is sad to think our government would slaughter innocent children to gain an end, but it has been done by other governing bodies and I think ours is just as corrupt as any of them!
