Those who are stupid enough to listen and believe the scum that infests the Demonic Party’s propogandist media machine are the ones that have the problem.

From The Instapundit:

SO IF WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A “NATIONAL CONVERSATION ON GUNS,” HERE ARE SOME OPENERS:

Why do people who favor gun-control call people who disagree with them murderers or accomplices to murder? Is that constructive?

Would any of the various proposals have actually prevented the tragedy that is the supposed reason for them?

When you say you hope that this event will finally change the debate, do you really mean that you hope you can use emotionalism and blood-libel-bullying to get your way on political issues that were losers in the past?

If you’re a media member or politician, do you have armed security? Do you have a permit for a gun yourself? (I’m asking you Dianne Feinstein!) If so, what makes your life more valuable than other people’s?

Do you know the difference between an automatic weapon and a semi-automatic weapon? Do your public statements reflect that difference?

If guns cause murder, why have murder rates fallen as gun sales have skyrocketed?

Have you talked about “Fast and Furious?” Do you even know what it is? Do you care less when brown people die?

When you say that “we” need to change, how are you planning to change? Does your change involve any actual sacrifice on your part?

Let me know when you’re ready to talk about these things. We’ll have a conversation.

Chuck Todd : If your kid’s playing “Halo” for 3 hours a night, make sure he doesn’t have a problem

Riiight.... Meanwhile Connecticut Chief Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carver states that we did not bring the bodies and the families into contact, we took pictures of them.

If you believe this, check yourself and make sure you don’t have a problem.

The islamics have been pushing jihad videogames forever, there’s hundreds of them, and they’re big moneygrabbers for the genociders.

Many times, they’re just western games pirated and kitted out with new graphics. Don’t see western copyright holders doing anything about it, though.

(I’d like to require that people pass a shooting and gun safety test before they can own a gun)

Why do we cede this territory? Do we require a civics test before people vote? Do we require English Comp courses before people write? Do we require Toastmasters membership before people speak in public?

Individuals are responsible for exercising their individual right responsibly and accepting the consequences if they don't. I would argue that irresponsible voting and reckless journalism ultimately cost more lives than one nut with an AR. It may not be as immediate or visible, but it is every bit as fatal.

Who is Chuck Todd and how did he get in my living room un-invited? That’s a justifiable shooting offense in my house.

I’d say SSRI’s are a much bigger problem. My boys have always played a lot of Halo and Call of Duty and are hardly anti-social.

Not a chance in a million I’d allow them to be placed on a psychotropic.

I play Call of Duty that much sometimes and I don’t have fantasies of gunning people down.

If your child has a personality disorder and you do not completely secure your firearms, YOU quite likely will have a problem.

On the other hand, not listening to UpChuck Todd and the libtards for 3 hours a night is probably better for the “child’s” mental health.

I grew up in the Cowboy & Indian era, followed by the Jap era.

I have never killed any real Indians or a Japs. I don't hate or have any animus toward either. How can this be? I have personally killed thousands of plastic and imaginary Indians and Japs. (Union soldiers too).

Why haven't I killed any six year olds?

If a kid was playing Halo three hours a night, I’d buy them a paintball gun and encourage him and his online Halo buddies to go run in the fresh air, raise a sweat and learn some real tactics, as well. Plus be reminded in a nominal way that getting hit is a painful experience.

And if you kid has an Obama bumper sticker on his bicycle you’ll know he has a problem.

At our local high school, Halo was THE game the students in the same graduating year as Lanza were playing every spare moment of the day and night. Several in the top of the class. How did they turn out? There’s the one who attends a Christian university and was in Africa this summer doing his missionary. There’s one who gave his life for this country and it’s freedoms in Afghanistan. There are two who are studying computer tech. Another one is in ROTC and just got his contract in the Army. Several are in college studying business, the health field and a couple want to be teachers. All either own guns or know how to shoot. Yeah, being around guns and playing Halo really were bad influences on them.

the writer stated that “mass shootings” are no more common today than in the past, but a good article/oped in today’s wall street journal pointed out that for the past three decades, that while mass shootings as a whole are not more common, RANDOM mass killings of unexpected innocents has increased, higher in the 1990s than in the 1980s and higher in 2000s than the 1990s

those trends are counter to the gun control legislation and statistics, by which all the “suspected” “mass killing” guns were more available and more easily available in the 1960s than today

two of the biggest changes over the same period of time while gun control has been increasing are (1) an increase in how lax ivoluntary commitment on mental health grounds has become and (2) how extensively and universally the media has insured eternal fame to any deranged mass killer wannabe, no matter where they live

if your life has been a tortuous mental journey leading to and always in dead ends, you can be rest assured you will be forever world famous - almost instantly today - if you take your revenge on life out on as many strangers as you can, fatally that is

instead of railling against the injustice of “this cruel world” inside an institutional environment, the mentally troubled are free to show the real world just how angry they are

that, not any manner of guns is the real problem
