Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, NRA: Their Culture of Fear Creates Tragedy - YouTube
Very sad news, my heart goes out to Americans with regard to this latest tragedy. This, a shooting of children has happened before, in recent years in US. Who remembers? Was it Amish people that were murdered? What a wonderful act of praying that went on after.
As for the latest massacre, a) the guns were legally owned and B) the shooter murdered his own mother to get them.
This .223 weapon sounds like more of the calibre of a target gun rather than an assault rifle like the AK-47 which, I believe uses 7.62 mm rounds. I believe most Americans are responsible people, and hate the anti-gun lobbyists hijacking such events, as they always seem to do. Simplistic reactionaries, they come across to me as.
that's my two cents worth.
Actually it's the NRA, the biggest gun lobby in the U.S. that hijacked this event, calling on the Federal government to require municipal governments to assign an armed police officer to patrol every school in country. Ironically the patrons of the NRA are generally against "big government" solutions, fearful of a "big government police state," and against tax increases. So who is going to pay for all the extra man-hours of police presence? Will the police be required to patrol schools after hours when teachers and administrators have meetings, children have practices and events? Apparently any expense, any sacrifice, is better than tightening the sale and regulation of semiautomatic weapons.
So here's the official NRA response to the Newtown tragedy. Armed guards in all schools in the country, because, "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." A ridiculous, yet totally predictable response, unfortunately. Sorry, Flabby, they're putting up a fight. But maybe that will let more people see how absurd they truly are.
N.R.A. Press Conference: Group Calls for Armed Guards in Schools - YouTube
The NRA knumbskull blamed violent video games. He advocated banning them but not the assault weapons that actually killed the kids in Conneticut and the people in the Colorado movie theatre. guess government intervention in the market place is OK as long as it doesn't interfere with his precious gun sales.
I'm not sure what his beef was with the media? Should the slaughter of 20 children not be covered by cable and local TV news stations? He claims their reporting provokes potential copycats by providing the shooters with the attention they seek..... an argument drenched in the logic of lunacy.
The NRA blames everything in society for gun violence, except the fucking guns.
This guy's presentation (falsely labelled a press conference) was a rambling wreck of tired bullshit from the gun nuts. It was a happy day for folks who hate them.
