Most likely, he wants to get rid of the Constitution and if he can, via Executive Order, circumvent the 2nd Amendment, how long will it be before he circumvents the first and puts Fannie out of a job? He, in my opinion is a two-faced so & so and I have no use for him and his way of governing. I do, however, respect the office although currently it is occupied by an Emperor Wannabe.jay1937https://www.blogger.com/profile/12860305147586519613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-63497178753975940032013-01-17T05:22:14.404-05:002013-01-17T05:22:14.404-05:00Why is it unreasonable to expect the same level of...Why is it unreasonable to expect the same level of security at school for my daughter?

All we hear about is how "assault weapons" are killing our children. Yet the statistics simply don't add up. Of the 12,000+ homicides in the US in 2011, according to the FBI Uniform Crime Report, only 323 involved rifles of ANY type (less than 3%). By ANY type, this includes bolt action, shotgun, muzzle loaded, single shot, etc. From 1982 - 2012 (over 30 years) there have been a total of 62 mass shootings in the US, just over 2 per year. Of these 62 mass shootings there have been a total of 142 weapons involved, which consisted of 68 semi-automatic handguns, 35 "assault weapons", 20 revolvers, and 19 shotguns. These figures show that less than 25% of all weapons used in every single mass shooting in US history over the last 30+ years were these "assault weapons". Yet we are led to believe by the media and our elected officials that banning such weapons would make us all safer? If we did eliminate these weapons, the numbers show that we would only have reduced less than 3% of the homicides last year and have only gotten rid of less than 25% of the weapons used in all the mass shootings in the last 30+ years. These are the facts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335191708457679676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-16204606371039026702013-01-16T23:42:34.943-05:002013-01-16T23:42:34.943-05:00Aubrey,

However, since we see death and destruction on a daily basis in TV shows, movies, the internet and very realistic video games, I doubt that you will get your end result with today's people.<br /><br />To really shake someone up, take them to the morgue and show them the end result. Then again, this is used in various cities with at risk youth. Sadly, many of these kids end up on the coroner's cold slab anyways.<br /><br />As for the ad, I have watched it objectively many times today. At first, I disagreed with it. Slowly, I started to see the point. Many of the people speaking out against guns right now have armed security details and their children go to schools with armed guards. Personally, I want my kids...all kids really...to be safe at school. School should be as safe or safer than home. And if that means an armed guard is on-site at every school, then so be it.<br /><br />Finally, you claim that we have allowed the NRA and the thugs who worship them to bully the rest of us for years. While I am not a card carrying member of the NRA nor do I agree with them 100%, the statistics show that the vast majority of gun crimes were performed by people that had obtained the weapon illegally.Tvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01327738588293379222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-7673615232593099022013-01-16T22:40:35.665-05:002013-01-16T22:40:35.665-05:00The NRA ad asks a very simple and pertinent questi...The NRA ad asks a very simple and pertinent question. <br /><br />There's nothing "over the line" about it.<br /><br />Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336075882714783127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-31207186945076002013-01-16T21:56:20.083-05:002013-01-16T21:56:20.083-05:00Aubry,

They quit reasoning years ago and turned to nothing less than threats to do great harm if they were not allowed to operate totally free of all reason and law.<br /><br />So, this is not a conversation between equals who see things differently. It is nothing less than the majority of the people of this land getting together the grit to tell these bullies that the end has come. We may be about there now. <br /><br />Those pictures taken at Sandy Hook before any cleanup was done should be published in every newspaper and news web site.
