    Default Why are people still talking about Newtown?

    It happened along time ago. People should treat it like Benghazi. What difference does it make?

    Like Benghazi? Four adults die in the line of duty in a hostile land versus twenty children slaughtered here in America in their hometown schoolroom.

    Yeah... They're damned near identical.

    Let it go. There is no there there. They caught the guy. Move on and put your efforts toward middle class jobs.

    It happened a long time ago

    I certainly have. I know that the GOP has the NRA's dick so far up their ass that gun control won't happen until we have another twenty Newtown's, and even then it'll be tough. That's life - and death - in America. I'm glad my youngest only has one more year of law school so she'll be out of that environment... And I'm glad I moved away.

    Thats life ?....No, comrade...thats the Constitution as its been understood for over 2 centuries.
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    In the first case, it was caused by incompetence, in the second, its mental illness.....the first can be cured, the second can't be.

    The Constitution shouldn't be decide how you determine right and wrong. That's your job, not anyone else's. bravo, you're a really profoundly pathetic individual if you don't hold your own values above those of the founding fathers.

    Oh, we could shitcan the entire Bill of Rights and Constitution and FORCE everyone to live for what those in power consider 'right' and 'for the good of society'...is
    that what you want ?.....wear a gag and hand and ankle cuffs and you'll never have anyone speak evil or assault anyone else again....get the picture ?

    Not for me...I'll take the freedom I have left and make the best of it....
    Stop denying the existence of evil, social and mental deviates, and enforce the laws....and most of your concerns would be minimal.....
    I'd say you're the pathetic one, to give up your freedoms for the sake of being safe...I'll take the danger and the freedom that comes with it.

    I am sorry that she chose such a shitty place to go to school. Maybe Topspin could have lent you some of his millions

    Maine's a pretty glorious place to go to school, actually. And I don't need to borrow anyone else's millions. We got it covered.

    You act as if there's not large scale subjugation going on because of the text of the constitution. The kind of brutality that it allows and endorses is something we as a nation need to overcome. bravo, the constitution isn't standing between us and tyranny, it's standing between us and liberty.

    Also, I've made it clear that I'm in support of gun rights.

    You're free to leave anytime....thats more freedom than you'll get in many other parts of the world....you can join mm in Mexico and live happily ever after....

    Whats standing between us and liberty is the Democratic party and liberalism.....

    I'm getting old and the cold no longer agrees with me. No contradiction whatsoever.
