The U.S. Congress must examine what can be done to respond to the Connecticut school shooting, including possibly new legislation, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on Monday.

Reid told the Senate he agreed with President Barack Obama that no one law could erase evil, but added “we need to accept the reality that we are not doing enough to protect our citizens.” The remarks were significant coming from Reid, a Democrat from Nevada who during Obama’s first term opposed reviving a ban on assault weapons. …

“In the coming days and weeks we’ll engage in a meaningful conversation and thoughtful debate about how to change laws and culture that allow this violence to continue to grow,” Reid said. He said “every idea should be on the table” as lawmakers discuss how to keep America’s children safe. …

Between Harry and Barry I would say we are pretty well screwed. Gun control or confiscation is coming at us like an avalanche. Will the Weeper of the House be able to stifle this like he has with the debt ceiling and the "fiscal cliff" so called?

You mean that “right to privacy” thingy that allows 1.5 million children to be murdered by their mother’s doctor every year?

Sure there is. New rule to be a teacher: You must have served in the military or police to get a teaching certificate. You must be able to carry and use a firearm.

Schools must have multiple exits, but only one entrance, a hardened one, with two armed guards behind glass that control the doors like you would see when entering an American Embassy.

All who enter would have to pass through a metal detector beofore they are allowed inside. Easy as pie.

Where in the article does Reid speak to the subject of gun control?

There is no law, no regulation, no rule even conceivable that could have prevented or stopped the tragedy. .....

You are wrong.

Nut control.

Hey Harry - Does “all options” include sending guns to Mexico as “Fast and Furious” as 0bama decrees?

Yes, the ‘liberty’ to murder one’s own unborn child is enshrined in the constitution...

My great grandkids would "own" the guns (If I had any) that are under my temporary control waiting for proper training and eventual righteous, under the RADAR, transfer.

That's what happened for my son anyway and it's a monumental thing (although he may not fully recognize it yet).

Does the NRA support Reid?

I think they may have supported Dingy over Sharron Angle. Pit. E. Ful.

Yes, because the Supreme Court said so. It’s in the penumbras and stuff.

Yes they did. The NRA is worse than useless. They are complicit.

They also must be able to use the semi-automatic rifle kept in a combination locker that will be installed in every classroom.

Nope. They need to carry a select-fire rifle slung over their shoulder like even the schoolkids do in Israel.

There are no more Public School massacres if there are no more Public Schools.
