What a friggin moron! These @$$holes believe taking guns from good people protect citizens. No, their actions just enable more senseless killings by the bad guys.

Moms demand action would rather have Children burnt to death by a nut using Molotov Cocktails, run over in the School crosswalk by some nut driving a two ton assault Vehicle or blown up by some nut with a Van full of Fertilizer.

I dont get it...why are you posting this propaganda???Know your enemy. In this case, an enemy of freedom.
An emotional basket case who probably is incapable of logical thought.
Remember Patton regarding Rommel, "I read your book"?

Mothers Against Drunk Driving, IIRC, after a while the founder of that group (who lost her daughter because a drunken driver ran her over) quit because she did not like the direction that it was taking in terms of doing all sorts of things that were just short of lobbying to get Prohibition reinstated.

"The prevailing attitude, aired by resigned pundits, was that shootings were inevitable."
So why was there very little or basically no violence in schools back when schools even in NYC, Chicago, and Washington DC had shooting clubs?
