DANBURY —— Amid concerns about getting a vote on tighter gun control legislation only months after the worst elementary school massacre in history, Vice President Joe Biden joined many of Connecticut's most powerful leaders in a daylong forum to press for change.

"There's a moral price to be paid for inaction. If you're concerned about your political survival you should be concerned about the survival of our children," Biden warned. "I believe the price will be paid politically by those who refuse to act, who refuse to step forward."

What about the hundred’s of children killed in Chicago last year? Chicago’s a ‘gun free zone’... no guns except for criminals...

Biden: the blood of those children stains liberal hands - hands that made that school a safe zone - for killers... that’s what ‘gun free’ does. Makes it safe for killers...

Okay, I screwed up the spelling of "womb", but the fact remains that the DemocRAT Party is the killer of millions of children, probably half of them women...

and the lickspittles in the Media trumpet the lie about the Republican War on Women.

I still must ask the question, again and again...

How is taking my guns away from me—or restricting them— going to save any innocent anywhere, when my guns have killed less people than Ted Kennedy’s Oldsmobile?

It really is no politician’s business what I have in my gun cabinet or closet. It isn’t the business of the law or police. I am innocent of crimes committed by crazy people.

Leave me alone, Joe BiteMe, you and your thoughtless horde of nannies and commies!

“Hey Joe, can we borrow one of your armed body guards?”

I don't think the article makes clear just where the forum was held. I'm sure that there are no "gun free zones" that apply to the liberal elite.
