Police Supt. Garry McCarthy Reacts To Conn. Shooting - December 15, 2012 - CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy says a meaningful response to the Connecticut school shooting, and shootings everywhere, would be to hold gun owners more accountable.

“Its got to stop,” McCarthy said. “People are going to have to wake up.”

Garry McCarthy is a real bright bulb isn't he? The shooter in CT didn't own any guns.

"It doesn't mean you can't have your gun, but there's a requirement to report the lost, theft, or transfer of a firearm."

??

And this stops nutjobs from shooting up schools how?

banning every gun in the US is the only possible gun-control measure that could plausibly achieve the results they seek. If there are any guns in the country, at all, presumably criminals will ignore laws against possessing them (as they currently ignore such laws) and also ignore laws against, well, shooting people with guns (several statutes cover this, pretty exhaustively, and yet they still ignore it).

So all gun control laws are aimed, essentially, at the one class of persons who have already demonstrated their intent to ignore gun laws. The laws are aimed at the very people who don’t obey them, but it is taken as an article of faith that if you just disarm the people who aren’t breaking the law, for some reason the criminally-minded will follow their lead.

Well, that’s absurd, obviously. The only way that a criminal who is determined to get a gun and use it for a criminal purpose will not have a gun is if there are literally no guns to be had— no guns to be stolen, no guns to be bought off Craigslist, no guns, period.

In that regime, I can see the argument that the 100% gun ban would greatly reduce gun violence. Although, of course, there are still lots of shootings in England, and lots of knifings, and in gun-control Germany there was an atrocious school-shooting a couple of years ago... but let’s say that such a regime at least greatly reduces gun crimes.

Trouble is, that regime is precisely what gun-control people say they’re not angling for.

I assume they’re lying. But if we’re going to “discuss” gun control, as the liberal party now insists, then let’s discuss it honestly. If you want to greatly reduce gun crime, down to European levels (where they still have gun crime, and knife crime, too), you’re going to have to outlaw almost all guns.

Ron, your problem is with Pelosi and about 80% of the House Democrats (and probably half of the Senate Democrats).

You, Bloomberg, and other mayors can call for gun control until the sky turns pink, but your friends that actually have to vote on it...and then try to get re-elected will not get near it, at all. It’s TOTALLY RADIOACTIVE to them.

I predict: the first "instant felony" law that Obama signs, where previously-legal guns, gun magazines, or ammo are now verboten will touch off the next Civil War.

It would be quicker to just report tht the Dem Party wants to end second amendment and self defense. The Brit liberals love watching criminals preying upon helpless victims. Especially the Muslims who are rapping the infidels’ children without consequence.

Someone needs to go on a show with this clown and say:

We all know your political agenda, Rahm. Aren’t you the one who said “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” Is this just another serious crisis for you because it’s ripping the hearts out of Americans all across this country.

Then the person on the show with Rahm needs to look him right in the eye:

My question to you Mr. Mayor is what will you do right now to keep the kids in your schools safe? Have you looked into any additional safety measures to protect them or have you just been out making the most out of this crisis?

BAN THESE DRUGS

http://www.ssristories.com/

These facts are known by the politicians.

These side effects have been acknowledged by the drug companies.

One begins to wonder if the fascists in our gov’t - who know the first step in taking over a country is the necessity of stripping citizens of their guns - didn't go to the drug companies and make a deal to develop these drugs - for this purpose. The fact that these gun-controllers, from the president on down, were loud and clear in demanding gun-control, using this tragedy for their agenda, while those little bodies were still in that school speaks volumes!

Yes, such evil exists. It operates on such high levels because decent people can't conceive of such raw evil.
We need to acknowledge it.

We need to let our politicians and media KNOW we know - and know THEY know - and demand they answer us individually.

BAN THESE DRUGS...and those that demand gun-control. They are even more dangerous.
