This is how it happens. Obama takes a near miraculous victory in the primary and throws it away by overconfidence and stupid proposals. Why it’s almost as it there was some Satanic intervention to help Hellary. Hmmm. :-)
Hold your nose and vote McCain.
It means squeeze the trigger — don’t jerk it.
The time is not yet ripe for Obama to propose more gun control. Please let him wait until after he has the rat nomination.
. . . the lib mob is twisting to eliminate all firearms from the hands of every American!
I can’t say more on that subject... however you wouldn’t want me to explode from all the pressure of holding this election inside of me would you? Maybe you should’t answer... it might “hurt” my feelings! ;-)

Heck, you’ve been exploding for months.
They should just make it specifically illegal to shoot students and double-illegal to shoot them on any campus.
That would fix the problem overnight as the killers would just start killing only people that it is legal to kill.
Excellent suggestion. If only they had posted a sign to that effect, this tragedy could have been averted. Of course there must be strict enforcement. Up to 10 years in prison for the murderer, who, uh, committed suicide.
I agree.
Obama doesn’t need to address gun control. His Global Poverty Act includes the U.S. adopting the U.N. Millenium Goals, which include the “banning of all small arms” worldwide.
I am not making accusations, just pointing out my observation:
It sure seems odd that publicized acts of gun violence sure amazingly appear to increase when we enter a political season - particularly every 4 years or so...
Perfect. We’re all safe, then.
35. Do you support legislation to ban the manufacture, sale and possession of
a. handguns?
While a complete ban on handguns is not politically practicable, I believe reasonable restrictions on the sale and possession of handguns are necessary to protect the public safety. In the Illinois Senate last year, I supported a package of bills to limit individual Illinoisans to purchasing one handgun a month; require all promoters and sellers at firearms shows to carry a state license; allow civil liability for death or injuries caused by handguns; and require FOID applicants to apply in person. I would support similar efforts at the federal level, including retaining the Brady Law.
b. assault weapons?
Yes.
c. ammunition for handguns and assault weapons?
I would support banning the sale of ammunition for assault weapons and limiting the sale of ammunition for handguns.
They want to scare me with that one, have the customers start firing at random.
As it is, it seems perfectly reasonable.
Obama the “green screen” ?
No, don’t.

“and it eventually persuaded Ronald Reagan to switch his position on gun control and depart from what was traditional consersative Republican ideology.”
Andrea is totally wrong on this issue. Reagan’s one conservative failing is that he was partial to gun control laws. He passed them as a governor of California, he appointed John Tower who was the department of Interior who got a rule passed not allowing weapons in Federal parks.
“Rush is right about Obama. He’s become “a blank canvas upon which anyone can project their fantasies and desires.””
Local Pittsburgh radio talk show host Jim Quinn (he is getting a more national following now) calls Obama the political Rorschach test.
