Newt ping.

[Logical me]

Right on Newt! But Bonehead and his Republican members are numb nuts that have no brain or guts.

[tgusa]

I keep asking myself what else Obozo is doing while trying to distract us with his assault on the 2A.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Yeah Chicago, show ‘em all how great gun control works...

[NoGrayZone]

Newt ping

"It's illegal to have all the guns that are killing people in Chicago. If gun control works, Chicago ought to be safe," said Gingrich.

If I had my way, Newt Gingrich would be about to take the oath of office for President of the United States.

Bump your every word, Gator113!

Thanks for the ping, (((NGZ)))

[indthkr]

Gun Control “logic” bump for later.......

> If I had my way, Newt Gingrich would be about to take the oath of office for President of the United States.

He seems to have a bit more lucidity and conviction than Romney did plus he’s a critical thinker that is no stranger to conflict and confrontation. He appears to be a lot more intelligent than Boner and Pelosi...

It's interesting how the media, including Fox, has paid virtually no attention to the fact that Chicago is ranked by Handgun Control Inc (Brady) as one of the top 3 most stringent gun controlling cities in the US, and at the same time Chicago's gun murder rate is skyrocketing, with 2012 being a record year over an already bad 2011, and 2013 already starting out at a pace that will be far higher than 2012.

Why is it in this gun control “mecca” of Chicago, that the unarmed citizens are dying at a record pace? And, if your going to tell me that it's because criminals can bring guns in from outside Chicago, explain why Milwaukee and Indianapolis...both allow easier access to guns for law-abiding citizens...and both have a much lower per capita rate of violent crime and gun-murder...?

Guns are easier to get in Milwaukee and Indianapolis than they are for the criminals to get in Chicago. So criminals in Milwaukee and Indianapolis have even “better” access to guns than the thugs in Chicago.

So again, where is the logical argument that would justify Chicago's astronomical gun murder rate? There is only one logical reason for Chicago's murder rate—they have a high population of amoral thugs and an unarmed population of law-abiding, easy victims.

Who says it pays to be a lawful citizen... Over 530 former citizens of Chicago might be alive today if they, or someone who loves them, were empowered with the ability to stand toe-to-toe with the thugs.

Anytime onyx (((hug)))! =(

Sad face for what we are up against.

I wish Libya wasn't misspelled in this graphic!

Psssh the misspelling. The gist is there and we all get it!

I’d rather misspell than be sent to “the camp”....or die trying not to be sent.

My dog appears to have more intelligence than either Bohner or Pelosi.

[Christie at the beach]

I have a relative who lives there. He is moving this year. He says most of the people who live there are in fear of the gangs. To Texas, he's going. Obama is such a fraud. People in his own city die as he plays his I care BS. People are so foolish and or agenda driven to follow him. He uses his smile to seduce as to portray this picture or to give a feeling to the masses that he is a family guy- and a guy who couldn't deliberately cause trouble/pain for anyone. I wish it was Newt being sworn in. The GOP called here to us today. My spouse unloaded on them of how he thought they did from the primaries to current time. No money given.

Rub their noses in it? Nah, they're not gonna go & be shown up as hypocrites...

[C. Edmund Wright]

only if it was “the Good Newt” - because there is a good newt, and a bad newt, but the good Newt is amazing at times!

[C. Edmund Wright]

Good post!
