"And what about all the left wing nuts calling for shooting/killing people?"

Interesting, may I have the exact word for word transcripts and sources of this information?

"I think you misunderstand what a terrorist organization is.  Or does a grass roots political process terrorize you?"

Well I suppose then that the Talaban, the Klu Klux Klan, and the American Nazi Party are grassroots organizations also..no?

Hey, old guys:
Any of you remember Jimmy Carter?
He addressed this nation wearing a sweater because he turned down the heat in the White House during the "energy crisis".
That's trying to lead by example.

...is it?

Dead is dead by beheading or bullet holes.

It is a fact that the NRA is responsible for the deaths and terrorism of more children in America than any other organization. School shootings, suicides, armed robberies, accidental shootings.... The list goes on. It's time America stands up against their powerful lobbies and demand responsibility.

<snip>

The United States experiences epidemic levels of gun violence, claiming over 30,000 lives annually, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For every person who dies from a gunshot wound, two others are wounded. Every year, more than 100,000 Americans are victims of gun violence. In addition to those who are killed or injured, there are countless others whose lives are forever changed by the deaths of and injuries to their loved ones.

Gun violence touches every segment of our society. It increases the probability of deaths in incidents of domestic violence, raises the likelihood of fatalities by those who intend to injure others and among those who attempt suicide, places children and young people at special risk.
we lose more on any give year to guns than we ever did at the peak of the Vietnam war.

BTW If any of you gun-wads knew anything about history you would know that James Madison wrote the Second Amendment of the Constitution to assure his constituents in Virginia, and the South in general, that Congress would not be able use its new constitutional powers to disarm state militias. That's why it states that the people in "well regulated militias" would be able to "keep and bear arms."

There isn't freedom of speech on this forum,If Old Yeller one of the mods here doesn't like what you say he deletes it.

The NRA is responsible for enacting more gun laws than any other group.

Disarming the law abiding citizens is not going to stop evil. Thats a well documented fact. Freedom to defend ones self and family shoud be as basic as freedom of speech. There's over 2000 gun laws on the books now. The NRA must not be all that powerful. I'm not a member but if they have kept the goverment from taking my guns I'm grateful to them. WHEN THE GOVERMENT STARTS TAKING AWAY MY GUNS ITS NO LONGER A DEMOCRACY, ITS TYRANNY! The majority want the gun laws left alone. This is just another case of our elected officials who are suppose to be working for us think they know whats best for us, it doesnt matter what we want, they know best. My heart goes out to the families in Colorodo and Conneticut but taking guns away from a sane honest person will not prevent it from happening again.

I understand. If we outlaw cigarettes there will be no more lung cancer. (I"ve had 4 friends die from lung cancer. One of them smoked)

And ... bush drove us to that cliff ... so whatever Obama does is effective as it is damage control. Its not the best it can be ... but you see Bush was  -100. Obama is 0. You want a +100 ... sadly we dont have anyone who was a +100 ... therefore we're gonna have to say ... 0 is better than the -100.

Jimmy carters sweater ... of course when he wore it no one really thought it was smart. They wanted him to kick OPEC's ass.

Cool.
