What do you care about?
How do you justify not only leaving children unprotected but advertising the fact?

I notice those of affluence including our President and many in the Media have their children at heavily armed private schools but for those of us who cannot afford these luxuries we are denied the same opportunity to protect our children in public schools.

So again, who or what is it you care about?

I care about innocent people being killed by guns in the hands of those who should never have had them in the first place. I care about the collateral damage being done to the American psyche every time a nutcase with a gun performs one of his evil deeds. I care about the fact that many of the guns owned by Americans were never meant to be in the hands of civilians.

No you do not. You do not care one bit for any of those families, because it is your fault their children are dead. Had you anti-American gun-grabbers not created Massacre Magnets (a.k.a. Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1995) the Newtown, Columbine, and VA Tech massacres would never have happened. So do not feed us this swill about how much you "care" because we know it is a lie.

Yet another lie. You obviously do not care or you would not set up children to be slaughtered. The blood of the victims at Columbine, VA Tech, and Newtown is on your hands.

Nothing responsible about complying with unconstitutional laws.

3. The bill, as I understand it, does not grant or rescind rights.



1. This guy had at least one hand gun, so what's to stop him from using the hand gun until he can change the clip?

2. The UK murder rate increased after the 1997 gun confiscation program.

3. So what does it do?



How about we arm the victims instead of disarming the only people involved who will obey the new law?

Instead of reading an article full of someone else's opinion why don't you look at the raw numbers and think for yourself. You might find yourself less speechless.

None so blind...


"Put all that together, and the murder rate in the US for non-blacks was more like 2.6 per 100,000 in 2011."

Oh how I wish I could use the two words that I cannot say here.

Suffice it to say, until and unless you drop this nonsense YOU are creating a culture of enemies in this country instead of working towards a solution!
