W.H. Releases Letters from Little Kids Pleading for Gun Control
Weekly Standard ^ | Jan. 16, 2013 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 01/16/2013 8:53:55 AM PST by RochesterNYconservative

The White House today released letters from little kids pleading for gun control, just hours before President Obama is to release a comprehensive proposal to limit guns and ammunition. The letters were released to the Associated Press in what appears to be a coordinated effort to help shape the narrative the day of Obama's announcement.

"Three days after six teachers and 20 students were killed by a rampaging gunman at their elementary school in Newtown, Conn., an 8-year-old from Maryland pulled out a sheet of paper and asked President Barack Obama for 'some changes in the laws with guns,'" the AP reports.

Call me cold, mean, or heartless...

I could give a DAMN what kids (or teenagers) think about any pressing national issue, since they cannot vote until age 18.

Folks this is an opportunity to slam these meatpuppets. In 1990 another Hussein used cute little WEstern Children in a photo op advertising them in effect as human shields. You know the guy Saddam Hussein once president of Iraq, and there is a photo record of it.

Guaranteed the demon-RAT teachers made the kids write them.

Time for parents to have their kids write letters asking for armed protection, like the children of the elite hypocrites have.

talk about hypocrisy! here is a recent quote from a WH spokesperson regarding the recent NRA ad!

"Most Americans agree that a president's children should not be used as pawns in a political fight. But to go so far as to make the safety of the president's children the subject of an attack ad is repugnant and cowardly," White House spokesman Jay Carney said

so it's okay to use our children as pawns in these political fights, just don't use the President's children...

Well we already have “Kindergarten Krugman” thinking that if we mint a bazillion dollar coin all our debt woes will be solved....

Damn these libs are completely childlike or evil or equal measures of both...

Like these kids really sat down and wrote these letters all by themselves? Give me a break.

WBill Jr. thinks that we should have a tank instead of a car. A car, with a pop-up laser gun on the roof would be acceptable, as well.

I think that it would be cool, too, but I'm unlikely to base my family's purchasing policy on the whims of a pre-teen.

If the kids knew what was good for themselves, they wouldn’t need parents. Those brats are just parroting what their teachers and maybe their parents have said to them.

W.H. Releases Letters from Little Kids Pleading for Gun Control

And the amazing fact is that the little darlings wrote these letters with no prompting or assistance at all from their leftist teachers and parents.

In honor of the new “if we can save just one life” standard for rules....

All cars are now illegal…because we can save just one life.

All public transportation is now illegal…because we can save just one life.

All sports are now illegal…because we can save just one life.

All food is now illegal…because we can save just one life.

And, based on a letter I got from an 8 year old…school is now illegal…”cuz it’s yuckey and dumb and I don’t like homework or my stupid teacher”.

Clinton pulled the same garbage after Columbine...every piece of legislation was “for the children.”

OK, let’s not use the President’s children.

Let’s use the children of all the elitist hypocrites in the Congress, Senate, and Hollywood that send their kids to posh private schools protected by armed guards.

Armed security for me and mine,
Gun-free zones for thee and thine.

Hypocritical pigs.

I always seek out a 6 year old that I don't know to advise me when I have a critical decision to make./s
