Statists like this do not, never have, and never will — speak for America.

That's because they don't like America and never have. So many East Coast people are still stuck halfway between America and Old Europe, the Europe of authoritarianism and socialist ideologues.

Their ideal is best represented by East Germany, but they won't/can't admit it.

More like drowning in a sea of warp minded liberals and their sicknesses.

How about drowning in a sea of illegal alien baby rapists who murder their victims? Or inbred muslims who can’t control their urge to murder?

Your psychotic thinking that inanimate objects get up and do things all by themselves. Unless in the hands of a liberal on drugs!

Their lefty community leaders encourage the destruction of the family; after all, it is Marxist doctrine straight out of the Communist Manifesto. Once the inevitable fruits of that folly start falling, they shift the blame to a scapegoat.

I could have twice as many guns, and they still would not be causing any crimes.

Which reminds me... I gotta go shopping!

Well if we’re drowning in a sea of guns where were they when they could have taken out the Navy shipyard shooter in a matter of seconds and why was the SWAT team who HAD weapons that could have taken him out pronto ordered to stand down, smarta$$? Was it so he could shoot even more for maximum media effect?

We are drowning in urban black murderers and DC is a hot spot! We need people control and not gun control.

Mr. Gray: I am a resident of Colorado, a state which has just experienced catastrophic flooding, and I find your comments referencing 'drowning in a sea' to be highly offensive.

Mayor’s got it backwards. The verb he was looking for is ‘floating’.

Those areas of the country with the lowest crime rates have the highest guns per capita.

GOD DAMN IT!!! Enough is enough!!

When will these a$$holes who *attempt* to control us understand that we have an epidemic of mentally deranged people in the general population who are there because our "feel good" politicians have largely shut down the mental institutions as well as the mechanism to have said deranged people committed!!!

Stay armed, mes amis

Yours might be, Mr. Mayor.
Mine, on the other hand, is replete with the tools of freedom.
