Some sayings about guns and the Connecticut tragedy

"Banning guns in a violent world is like banning antibiotics in a hospital."

"Gun free zones is gun control and it ain't workin!! Concealed carry works!!"

"Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year—or about 6,850 times a day. This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives."

"Explaining an individual's right to self defense to a statist is like trying to inform an obese toddler on the benefits of eating veggies."

"It's naïve and disingenuous to think banks and politicians need protection from evil, yet children do not."

Surprisingly, I've been watching some of the media circus in CT...and i wished the media would just go home and leave them poor folks alone...the news is over.....
There has been little talk of guns with this case so far.....I think FOX is hanging around just to start an issue on them....as they were one of the first with the misinformation as well with the wrong brother....

The media should be ashamed. They are contributing to this problem. The more publicity given the more nuts will be drawn out. Obama should stay home as well be he never misses a chance for a campaign stop. Again, just making things worse. I won't go into the gun/Constitution issue. Let this rest for now.

The media should leave those poor people alone. They have enough to deal with right now without being hounded by camera crews and the secret service.

Really? I'm hearing a lot. I've read about calls for the assassination of the NRA president, Ed Schultz-for-brains had called for gun confiscation, and that's just scratching the surface. I was hoping out wouldn't turn out to be a gun issue, but it's started.

I see some liberal media crap...but i don't pay attention to that crap......

The MSM this morning is all about gun control. That will have next to no effect on these types of tragedies. On the same day of the CT shootings, you have this in OK. Using bombs and then shooting people. Not a word from any of the major networks on this. Why? Doesn't fit the gun control argument.

I guess I am the only one that saw a Congress woman(sorry didnt catch her name) on CBS news that said she will introduce a bill to restrict the capacity of magazines (which is gun control) after the new congress starts in January

What's new? A person in congress trying to ignore the Constitution? I bet they don't restrict magazine capacity for firearms used by the government or police. They are setting up a police state. Guess I better order a few now while I can. What a great investment! Outlaw something that people want and it drives up the value of that item, creates a black market for that item and increases crime! Leave it to government to cause crime.

Obama and the Demoncrats are very good at running up the price on guns, ammo and magazines to say the least. Magazines that were $6.25 each a couple of days ago are now $8.99 each, and climbing. Restrict them and the cost will sky rocket along with crime.

As to the need of hicap magazines? Ask those who fought in the Warsaw ghetto. The power should remain in the hands of the People. IF firearms etc should be restricted, the government should be the first to be restricted.

We need to hear directly from the firearms dealer who refused to sell to Mr. Lanza. Could be he perceived Lanza was in an excited or highly charged emotional state. Several possibilities could have stopped the sale. It will be interesting to hear details from the dealer.

I hear Lanza balked at the questions on the 4473.

Watch out for Obama Executive orders He just said in his remarks at memorial service that he will use his powers as president to take action to stop future shootings

We will know very soon what Obama is up to with regard to tighter gun control. IF he attempts to bypass the legislative process by issuing an Executive Order which contradicts our 2nd Amendment rights, I fully expect impeachment proceedings brought aginst him with 48 hours. We need tighter control of Obama than guns.
