Abject fear of constituents is a healthy thing for legislators.

Live Free or Die! I think that’s all that needs to be said.
I talked to a gun shop owner the other day, browsing. Told him that I was looking to buy some firearms if Clinton or Obama won, just in case they tried to restrict purchase of guns. He said that they would be @$$@$$!na+ed if they tried to do so. Way he said it made me sort of think it was likely.

Oh, the horror. The humanity!!
Are there......cars......in the (dear God) parking lot????????????
NH: Rare gun-control bill sparks unanimous backlash - 2 of 3
NH: Rare gun-control bill sparks unanimous backlash - 3 of 3
Same attitude that aggravates the hell out of southerners...people ‘from away’ move into an area and try to change the policies that have worked for the natives for decades...back to Cal/Oregon/Mass with you, honey. Henniker and Bradford are rural towns...who elected this idiot?
Exactly! I can’t stand people who move to a state and then try to change it to “they way it was back home”. My attitude is then go back home if it was so wonderful!
It’s about time — something had to be done to stop the shootings of NH politicians by these gun nuts...... oh wait, that’s never happened....
Ping!
Tells me just about everything I need to know about her.
I'll bet she doesn't get re-elected.
Did anyone detect the cracking of the voice in part 2 as she talked about the issue? Almost like she was going to cry. I almost felt like she was going to do the Hillary thing....
As someone else mentioned I loved how she used as an example the Virginia Tech shooting which is the exact type of laws she wants to enact there!!! I wish he would have called her on it. Then a follow up question would be, do you think that if people were allowed to carry on the Virginia Tech campus that a madman like Choi could have had his crimes mitigated?
She said what are the rest of us supposed to do, duck? The answer was yes!!! If only one person had a gun and was killing people indisciminantly what was she going to do anyways? Probably duck. So what’s the difference??
I’ll bet she sees a right in the constitution to kill unborn babies though..
Oh one other thing. She was talking about an alarm system to warn people in the building that a shooter was in the building. I don’t know, I guess the sound of gunfire would warn me that a shooter was in the building, but that’s just me....
If you can’t hear the gunfire, then I guess you don’t have to worry anyways, right?
As I recall, the authorities at Virginia Tech made a decision that the killer had apparently left the campus and decided NOT to warn anybody else throughout the campus. Had there been an alarm system, it would not have been triggered until such time as the killer had already isolated one building full of people for slaughter.
You might duck and be too late. Quite a few bullets can travel faster than the speed of sound. 1085 fps isn’t that fast anymore.
Wow! She is really, really, clueless. Amazing.
“You might duck and be too late.”
You missed my point. She said in the video what happens if people are allowed to carry guns and a crazed killer comes in shooting people and then lawfully armed people pull out their guns and start shooting back. Then her question was, what are the rest of us supposed to do? Duck? My point was that even if lawfully armed citizens were not shooting back, that’s all she’s going to do anyways is duck...
I find her distorted, tortured logic disturbing on many levels; She would rather not fight back? She would rather others (other than law enforcement) not be able to fight back, possibly to her benefit. She would rather be a victim to a crazed mass murderer killing innocent than be bothered with the idea that others had the ability to stop that crazed killer. She would rather her safety be totally on the shoulders of police? Who don’t have to risk their lives for yours. I would rather be part of the solution, and try to stop the evil doer.
Heck, I would rather be accidentally hit by the bullet of a “friendly” citizen fighting back, while fighting the evil doer, than to just be victimized by the evil doer. To claim it is best not to fight back is, in this case, immoral. Pacifism is not moral high ground.
They had the suspect in custody when the shooting started. He was a former boyfriend of the girl who was killed and they arrested him outside the middle school that my kids attend. When the shooting broke out, they realized they had the wrong guy. Note: At the time, he was arrested, a kid was trying to sell pistols out of a backpack in that same middle school.
Then I think you mean that they had "a" suspect in custody, not necessarily "the" suspect. If an alarm system had existed, I doubt that it would have been triggered.
The liberals continue to seek some way to stop an armed killer from killing people that does not involve having the threatened people fight back effectively. I can't figure out how any creature with testosterone in their system can think this way.
