Twenty children are massacred and you guys see it as an opportunity to jump on your soap boxes. In the last four years, Obama hasn't said a word about any type of new gun legislation, in fact, he pushed legislation that allowed carry in national parks and in baggage on Amtrak trains. He failed to push for renewal of the ban on assault weapons. Yet, now he sheds a tear over these killings and will be mourner in chief at the memorial service. There are kids abused every day. Every day five of them are killed because of that abuse. Where is your anger about that? Liberal hypocrites all. There are one and a quarter million abortions in the US each year. California accounts for a quarter of them. In NYC, there are 3 abortions for every 4 live births. There are more abortions in that city than in any other state except California. NY and California, home to the enlightened liberal. What a bunch of hypocritical pricks. Please don't bore me with your views on the sanctity of life. The hypocrisy is palpable.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-57507031278097873142012-12-16T09:52:55.350-05:002012-12-16T09:52:55.350-05:00Fucking right!

I became even more convinced we are going too far in some states after reading the Florida law during the Zimmerman case. There are laws that should be tightened up or changed like the gun-show exception.<br /><br />That being said, Ash, only practical solutions need apply.<br /><br />There are 300 million guns in the US.<br /><br />SCOTUS has ruled that it's legal for the average citizen to own guns. <br /><br />As you noted above, it would take a constitutional amendment to get rid of them. What do you think are the chances? If Congress changed the law, what do you think would be its chances of being ruled constitutional given past precedent?<br /><br />If you want to offer up suggestions keep it to the practical and realize that, as DRR pointed out, only the total elimination of guns will prevent incidences like this one when some nut job goes round the bend, and then only if he doesn't get his hands on or manufacture some explosive device or other WMD. There is always a way to kill people if you are determined.<br /><br />.<br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-6106134085904588782012-12-15T23:06:44.026-05:002012-12-15T23:06:44.026-05:00So why should folks like the Lanzas have right to ...So why should folks like the Lanzas have right to bear arms like that?Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688752302081088907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-80920267024138125842012-12-15T23:01:16.766-05:002012-12-15T23:01:16.766-05:00Not afraid of anyone; and don't intend to be.Not afraid of anyone; and don't intend to be.Rufus IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297231055991566183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-22704740583845639422012-12-15T22:48:24.372-05:002012-12-15T22:48:24.372-05:00.

Tom Corbett said on Wednesday that he would not pursue the idea. <br /><br />“State authority to run a health insurance exchange is illusory,” Mr. Corbett said. “In reality, Pennsylvania would end up shouldering all of the costs by 2015, but have no authority to govern the program.” <br /><br />In Tennessee, state officials did a huge amount of planning for a state-run exchange. But Gov. Bill Haslam announced this week that he had decided against the idea because the Obama administration had failed to answer numerous operational questions. <br /><br />Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey cited similar concerns in vetoing legislation to establish a state-based exchange last week. <br /><br />“New guidance continues to trickle out of Washington at an erratic pace,” Mr. Christie said.</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/15/us/most-states-miss-deadline-to-set-up-health-exchanges.html?_r=0" rel="nofollow">Majority of States To Miss Healthcare Deadlines</a><br /><br />.<br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.com
