Dem. lawmaker: To get gun control, Obama must ‘exploit’ shooting

"A veteran Democratic lawmaker believes the nation will go along with stronger gun control laws if President Obama “exploits” the Newtown, Conn., tragedy and nudges Congress to action.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who represents portions of New York City, said he was encouraged by Mr. Obama’s statement on Friday afternoon that the mass shooting, which claimed the lives of 20 young children, requires “meaningful action” by Congress, but hopes those words turn into concrete legislation.".............

Nadless should be more afraid of choking on a ham sammich than guns.

. . . 324 victims were killed overseas - where there is no 2nd Amendment allowing them to own firearms.

Often governments are the mass murderers.. with counts in the tens of millions. It's called democide..

appropriately and yes given our ruling class Dem New Normal

I absolutely see the day when it happens here if we do not stop them. Some of them discussed plans for it when they were mere Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, spoiled brats.

The link is to wiki graffiti.. if past experience is any clue Lefties seeing this on FR will rush to change democide to repocide. Things have been changed, even disappeared, once they appeared on FR.

RE: "Anyone notice the fake tear Obama wiped away yesterday for the victims?"

The photo itself had to be fake.. he always uses his middle finger for anything meant for us to see.

You had better believe that obama is not exactly looking forward to this gun control debate because Fast & Furious is still lurking in the background plus he is not able to protect his diplomats in Benghazi so his resume on protecting much of anything is not exactly stellar.

They all look stoned, don’t they.

The United States Constitution is unusually difficult to amend. As spelled out in Article V, the Constitution can be amended in one of two ways. First, amendment can take place by a vote of two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate followed by a ratification of three-fourths of the various state legislatures (ratification by thirty-eight states would be required to ratify an amendment today). This first method of amendment is the only one used to date. Second, the Constitution might be amended by a Convention called for this purpose by two-thirds of the state legislatures, if the Convention’s proposed amendments are later ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures.

I hate to say this,but we should also bring back the involuntary institutionalization of people with incurable mental disorders who are a danger to society.

I just got a email about a memorial service to be held in my town. All of the speakers are lefty preachers or elected officials. Needles to say, I’m not going.

Yeah, because that has always worked SO well, and NEVER got abused by individuals either in or over the system.

Don't let emotions continue to choke of your brain. Our Founders made the legislative process S-L-O-W so that emotionally-driven events like this wouldn't lead us to making horrible mistakes like the moronic ones getting bandied about this weekend. Grieve for the kids, but don't further destroy Justice in the name of the slain. It does nothing to honor them, protect others, or help us.

BTTT...thank you.

As a professional community organizer, 0bama knows all about “exploiting”, agitating, and rabble-rousing.

[lentulusgracchus]

Getting serious about managing people with mental illness is up there, too.

Keep in mind that all conservatives and all gun owners are psychotic sociopaths, and Obama can prove it. It's just that he's very busy this week.

As Rahm Emanuel (formerly President Obama’s Chief of Staff) once put it: One should never let a good crisis (or, in this case, a tragedy) go to waste...
