If there is a bombing, we blame the bomber. If there is a drunk-driving accident we blame the driver. When there is a shooting, WHY DO WE BLAME THE GUN LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS?

There, fixed it.

Exactly why the push to ban the .50 cal rifle.

Obama should openly start a campaign to repeal the 2nd amendment, and see if he can get that through the Congress and get the states to ratify. Just get on with it, and see how far they get.

The Navy Yard has a good and fairly effective gun control policy. The shooter bought his gun “legally” and somehow snuck the gun into the Navy Yard. Once he killed a few guards and took their weapons, the door was open for him to use the now confiscated weapons to kill all those people. Tell me where that system went wrong? IT was not the gun so you can eliminate ANY guns that were used. Guns are only “tools”, he could have used a pressure cooker or some other device.

Voted best gun salesman of the century!

Lets see. A person picks up an inanimate object. Uses said object to _______ other innocent people.

After this action we must blame the inanimate object and ban it while ignoring the reason the person used said object to commit _______. Punish people who had no involvement in the act as a bonus.

I think a kindergartener could figure out that this is just plain stupid.

Then again trying to get that thought into oMao’s thinking is a lost cause because he hates America and freedom.

I tried to think of something better to call politicians but insulting Whores didn’t seem right.

Arming musloom terrorists is against the law but there is a waver for that. Just type a letter on your computer that says you waived the law and you can’t be prosecuted for the crime!

Per usual a liberals lie about their true motivations. Alinsky wrote in "Rules for Radicals" “From the moment an organizer enters a community, he lives, dreams, eats, breathes, sleeps only one thing, and that is to build the mass power base of what he calls the army.” In other words, as an SDS radical once said: "The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution."

They rationalize their true motivations this with some pretty absurd logic, which is why it's important to ignore their rationalizations and tragedy based arguments and attack their real motivation, and that motivation has never been more obvious and naked...they lust for Power; unlimited, unfettered, power.

“In his Navy Yard comments, Obama indicated his approval of gun-control regimes in Australia and the United Kingdom, which were imposed after shootings in 1996.

“They endured great heartbreak, but they also mobilized and they changed, and mass shootings became a great rarity,” Obama declared.

In Australia, after the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre of 35 people, the government imposed tough new gun-control laws, and largely banned semi-automatic guns.”

Hmm, I wonder what his reply would be if someone pointed out the fact that a key part of those gun control laws was the confiscation of lawfully owned and paid for private property without due process or just compensation.
