This is what gun sanity looks like
Gun sanity looks like this:
Gov. Rick Snyder vetoed a bill this afternoon that would have allowed gun owners with extra training to carry their concealed weapons in schools, day care centers, churches and stadiums.
Gun sanity looks like this:
The Dick's Sporting Goods chain said Tuesday that it is suspending sales of some rifles nationwide because of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.
Gun sanity looks like this:
Perhaps it is not a surprise that Cerberus quickly decided to sell the Freedom Group, its collection of gun companies, including Bushmaster, the firm that made one of the weapons used in the Newtown, Conn., massacre. Cerberus has been notoriously secretive about its finances, and the adverse press it has attracted in the aftermath of Newtown forced a hasty retreat. This should be very encouraging to those of us who wish to shift the debate about guns: A few critical articles, some whispers from major investors questioning their investment in Cerberus, and decisions were instantly made that could cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars.
Four days ago, a horrible tragedy took place. Like any tragedy, iy was also a test of the national spirit. What is happening now is truly remarkable.
- for?
So the United States stands for a crazy person shooting up an elementary school?
That's a strange thing for a country to stand for.— carl and sons - Quiet everyone! Fisher is going to tell us what the USA stands for. Fisher?— Hamlet
- LOL! And the reward for the best timed post on a blog goes to...
Hamlet.— carl and sons - Hamlet and carl and sons- you are free to do as you desire. Laws protect us from consequences and set up boundaries, but we have the 'Blessings of Liberty' to be free of tyranny which would make laws or tax (two very popular undertakings by Obama) unless we elect and think wise for now and future generations (currently lost on the left). The fact that carl and sons want us to limit our abilities so much is very un-American, very much restrict our freedoms so we cannot maneuver around the country, we cannot post here, we cannot do or cannot live. Hamlet and Carl and Sons are the fools of society who do not understand they are crimpling themselves by voting for more laws and taxes, not liberating themselves to being greater, having more liberties, or becoming a higher elevated person. Instead they think they are voting to help the poor minded, they are only really helping those who already have the most and eat from the simple crumbs left behind.— Fisher
- Sarah Palin, is that you? — carl and sons
- Okay, now can you please translate what you just said from Idiotese?— Hamlet
- What is needed is a 50% tax on campaign contributions to pay for improved school security. Fewer political ads so everyone is happy. The liberals will do a circle j*rk because there is a new tax and conservatives will burn offerings to Rush because they get good guns into schools.
"if someone of higher intelligence rebuts an argument of theirs"..."The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so." The youngling Hamlet confuses intelligence with wisdom.— 2ndNlong - Prohibition has a great track record.— sadim
- As it pertains lawful firearm ownership, prohibition is working so well.
http://articles.philly.com/2012-08-18/news/33249371_1_illegal-firearms-violent-crime-gun-problem— sadim - Hamlet your are voting yourself into tyranny by insisting you need more laws and taxes to live. Thus being a good slave to democratic machine. Is that simple enough for you?
— Fisher - Yeah, Hamlet, why would you follow the famous tyrant who said this: "While we recognize that assault-weapon legislation will not stop all assault-weapon crime, statistics prove that we can dry up the supply of these guns, making them less accessible to criminals"
- This comment has been deleted.— Hooray Diversity!
- I know it's incredibly difficult to tell the difference between a machine whose purpose is to kill a bunch of people, and a machine whose purpose is to transport people and things.
(HINT: The one with the wheels is the transportation one.)— carl and sons - "THIS IS A FACT."http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/07/21/1112405/-Gun-Deaths-by-State-and-Other-FindingsIt is? Please cite this fact with valid data proving it. Because if you look at the gun death rates by state, the states with the least restrictive gun laws (Arizona, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, et al.) also have the have the highest gun death rates. So please show me facts that prove otherwise.What's equally interesting is that states with higher college graduation rates and creative class jobs have fewer gun deaths.And, of course, states with stricter gun control laws have lower gun deaths.
