If I had a child at newton, I would BLAME YOU for your foolish ideas of what a GUN FREE ZONE is.....

Because you didn't defend it...

I also blame YOU for the anti gun laws that killed my Father in Law and his 2nd wife. he was Army 30 years and 30 more at kodak. His wife was a lawyer working past retirement age.

You! I blame YOU for bad gun LAW you don't enforce.

Thanks for joining the adults in our conversation. Now that we've taken the time to listen to what you had to say, please return to the kids' table until you grow up.

Sounds like you want to entrust the same government who seeks to control/restrict gun ownership, with the task of determining who is mentally "well"
Joe Stalin, Mao, et al. did both with reasonable success.

You really cant rail against one and endorse the other without a certain amount of hypocrisy.
I understand that..... it is a problem we need to deal with...

In 1990 all the places that did deal with were in fact shut down. I recall that vividly.

My wife was working in NY at Rochester psyc.... And all of a sudden there were lots more street peoples as homeless too...... of course crime went up, but hey we are talking about Rochester NY

never the less this is THE problem

just look at this page please
recent murders - Google Search

Not only are liberals vitriolic despots at heart, they don't possess the required "shot glass" amount of common sense and wisdom required to understand how such power has NEVER been used for benevolent purpose, but has resulted in the murder of over 200 Million human beings in just the 20th Century alone.

But this time, things would be different.
I have serious issues with any left that condemns the right for these 26, while at the very same time kill 1 million + every year to abortion butchers. I can see abortions for very limited legal reasons, but that won't add up to 1 million +

Talk about blood on a parties HANDS !

an assault weapon is one that has a select fire switch that allows semi auto, three or four round burst, or full automatic fire. the M16 is an assault weapon, the AR15 is not.

and perhaps the term leftist should be used in place of liberal.

fortunately obama has had the good sense not to sign an executive order to ban any kind of weapon. if he does he will harm the democrat party for years to come.

as for reagan, he didnt ban any weapons, but he did sign legislation into law that banned some weapons. he didnt sign an executive order banning weapons.

Obambi has.... What assault rifle ....... The ones Obambi sent to Mexican Drug cartells? Those guns he tried to blame on MA and PA gun shops that don't have access to full automatics? Those assault guns? The assault guns for Fast and Furious that will possibly IMPEACH the Fearless one... uh err ah err us Obambi.

Why do Mexican Drug Cartels need full auto assault rifles for? Why is Obambi doing business with the Mexican Drug Cartels?

I hope your not a shooter because you won't get close to the target.....
