In other words what you are saying is that you can't show where gun control legislation in any state or on a federal level has reduced crime. Is that what you are saying?

Then why would he have said it if he knew nothing would result from it?

Doing what they do best, sowing the seeds for restrictions down the road. Too politically risky to propose outright bans just yet.

I never said anything has or hasn't been effective. This is about the doctors comments about how guns are relevant to the medical field. Nothing was ever said about legislation.

There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.

1) Healthcare – Control healthcare and you control the people

2) Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

4) Gun Control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.

5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income)

6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school.

7) Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.

8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.


Any of this sound familiar?
Yeah, it does sound familiar. It was the Last time I got drunk with a bunch of right wing, paranoid rednecks in their backyard bunker and they started crying about their lost freedoms because someone keyed their brand new dodge ram with the confederate flags painted on the sides.

Said what? That guns should be banned? He didn't. He said gun violence is a significant factor in health care.

Maybe you shouldn't drink... Or maybe you should pick your friends a little better...

0bammy and his entire bunch of loonies need to think before they speak. They don't seem to have the vaguest understanding of why people are laughing at them.

Bullhockey! At my age I've known a tremendous amount of people who got sick and even ended up in the hospital. Not a single one of them was due to or even remotely because of a gun. Not a single one.

The president does not introduce bills. That is the job of the legislature.

Pres. Obama did call for federal gun control legislation after Sandy Hook, but fortunately the GOP-controlled house said no.

You must have missed it.
