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

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.

Where did they find 6 year olds that can write. They didn’t come from a Blue State and those from a Red State know better.

Here is how it will go wrong. We are teaching our children it is not okay to defend themselves. We are teaching our children it is not nice to play war games, We are teaching our children to ban guns. However, our enemies in the ME are at war with us and they are raising their children to hate and kill us, they are arming and teaching their children how to use guns as early as eight years old. They indoctrinate their children to prepare to kill themselves with suicide bombs. They practice at warfare every day. These little American obamabots don’t have a snowballs chance in hell.

I wish. These children will all be beat to death by packs of Amish kids long before little Johnny Jihad gets anywhere near them.

I don’t believe 6 yr old’s came up with this on their own and anybody that has a 6 yr old knows I’m right.There was a lot of couching going on.

In honor of the new “if we can save just one life” standard for rules...
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Abortions are banned. because NOW we can save millions of lives.

From what I have heard (did not watch etc) we did get ‘snockered’ on the kids...the report was ‘skads of kids’ would be surrounding ‘his nibs’ BUT apparently only 4?

Guess they are reading the ‘opposition’???

At least someone had the sense to wipe the pigs blood off the poor kids at the last minute before sending them out!

These, the children who wrote the president about gun violence following last month’s shooting of 20 young students and the six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, CT.....

You can imagine that those letters were cohearsed by their teachers. Certainly these, and all kids are scared with all the media hype being put on guns and the control of same. They hear and can read the news. I would not be surprised to know many of these letters were “suggested” and those suggestions were given to the kids to compose into a letter, the best ones then selected for forwarding to Odumbo. i put NOTHING past those people.
