"I think a lot of us were surprised by the call for change....

Maybe thats because Ozero made a political speech at a Memorial Service?

considering guns have been around for ages, the media almost as long,, it would certainly seem the media can not deny that it has profited by reporting the violence it ‘unwittingly’ also perpetuates.. and when celluloid hit the reel,, how many thousands of movies have served as the canvasses for the depiction of death and destruction wrought thru firearms alone, who profited and still continues to every hour of every broadcast day.. who is surprised today’s talking heads do the same? and they say the NRA is scaling back its presence on FascistBook .. smack a person upside the head with a 2by4 long enough.. they’ll ban them too.

The President wrote these remarks himself....’

If they have to tell us that, then he didn't.

Did he also write the speech he gave the day of the shooting? He couldn't even pronounce "Newtown" correctly. The talking heads said the name every 3 minutes but, once again, he was clueless.

For the past 4 years, given the stats for ammo and gun sales, I’d say that the general population has prepared itself for Obama’s gambit re: gun control/confiscation. No matter the emotions of the present run amok, Obama’s efforts will run into a buzz saw.

Didn’t hussein say, “if they come with knives, we’ll come with guns”? Just which side of this is he on? Talk about flip flopping.

I don’t see China banning knives after their school stabbings which happened on the same day but they sure got on the horn crying out for the US to ban guns.

The Obama can fix anything crowd marches on.

With Obama, rape victims are urged to disarm, bare it all and go back to that dark street... where of course OBama’s friends are and will be listening to him and be good now so long she is disarmed. (sarc off)

.338 Lapua?

Yes, fine caliber.

Or a smooth old model 71 Winchester .348

Sure complements my old model 94 Winchester.

Not shabby for an old beast.

“Gun control failed those kids.”

Gun control is government’s admission that it cannot and will not guarentee a person’s absolute safety while claiming its monopoly to do violence upon whosoever it chooses.

Obama went there for the same reason the Westboro Baptist Church claims to be going there.

Publicity.

It’s a great Photo-op for him.

Personally, I think all of these school shooting are planned and implemented by the government to justify forcing gun bans. Too many coincidences here.

As about a full-blow oxymoron as you can get.

Back in the late 80- 90’s the State of California tried o force owners of “assualt weapons” to register them with the state. no one, NO ONE, complied. The State Attorney General at the time, Dan Lungren, refused to enforce the law. (Dan was my US Rep.) for 18 years until finally, after 3 election cycles of massive Democrat effort to defeat him, he was defeated in 2012.) I suspect that any Obama efforts will have a similiar result on a national level.

The people need to demand that Obama and Congress do something right now to help protect our kids and drop their political agenda.We should have asap:

1. Government funding for tasers/mace in every classroom.
2. Security experts or police to provide training for tasers/mace and to establish a defensive plan. Teachers should also know how to use what’s at hand (fire extinguishers?)
3. Panic buttons in every front office that would alert the teachers and police at the same time. Just like fire drills, that alarm should trigger a plan to get students to safety and help with the attacker.

I know I sound like a broken record on this stuff but it’s steps we can take now to help protect the kids. I hate that my daughter ( a teacher) and grandkids are in schools today still sitting ducks for whatever whacko shows up while O and Dems only concern is to disarm Americans.

More families owned guns at our founding... But we didn't have TV back then. More specifically, we didn't have Network TV NEWS... so if we want to stop the slaughter of innocent children we need to stop network news.

Let them put that in their pipe and smoke it.
