| When you argue for a living, you can tell how an argument is going for you. The evidence and my gut both tell me that the liberals have lost control of the gun control narrative. Not for lack of trying – it was almost as if they were poised to leap into action across the political, media and cultural spectrum the second the next semi-human creep shot up another “gun free zone.” This was their big opening to shift the debate and now it’s closing. They’ve lost, and they are going nuts.

Wow the LA ladies comments are awesome. I think it´s one of those things you get at a gut level. If you have the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, you have the inalienable right to protect those freedoms.

The liberals are all alike; if they do not want to do something, then by damn no one else should do it either. Most Hollywood liberals have armed guards who carry real guns, but they do not want you to own a gun. 0bama wants "to get serious about gun control," but he sends his daughters to a very expensive private school that employs several armed guards .... who are armed with REAL guns. Let´s be honest about this debate.

Gun free zones have worked out so well in colleges, malls, high schools and now firest grade classes that lieberals want everyone to live in one. People with such little ability for rational thought (lieberalls) are more the problem than the actual perpetrators as they set the stage for disaster and learn not from experience.

Liberals know (instinctively, bringing on self hatred) that they are unable to articulate a scenario whereby any one or more gun laws would have save those innocent little angels from the utterly puny, snot-swigging demon who killed them, one trigger pull at a time.
No, they only wish that a unicorn could have swooped in and saved those beautiful, God-loved children, with police (yes, give them credit nonetheless) a mere 20 minutes from the scene.
That is what liberals instinctively know -- but are unwilling to acknowledge -- so they rage.

The gun banners of the MSM have no problems stepping on the 1st Amendment rights of talk radio, the conservative blogosphere, and real Christians who want to follow Jesus´ rules like not killing babies. That they attack the 2nd Amendment is without question, they also attack the 5th amendment because they want to take private property.
BTW, they also deceive because their solutions would not stop a determined killer from slaughtering defenseless children.

Nothing new there. What "narrative" have liberals ever won? The fact that they´ve worsened every societal problem or dysfunction that they´ve ever tried to address doesn´t seem to discourage them in the least.
Having said that, this is one Rubican that they had better not cross. We´re playing for keeps this time.
BTW, if you´re on Twitter and not following Kurt, you should be.

by the way re the quote from EJ Dionne that NRA remarks are supposedly obscene - has anybody else noticed that the Donks now use the word obscene for everything except obscenity? I think we use a lot of words they wish they were allowed to use. So they just misuse them.

Every two years all the Congressional representatives, and 1/3 of the Senate, must face an election to keep their jobs. Many of those folks are Democrats who represent States where after you vote for any sort of a firearms ban you become unelectable.
I believe that the Democrats have to defend 14 Senate seats next time around, and you can bet that a bunch of those seats are in States that do not favor more gun control. If those Democrats vote for gun control, the chances are good that the Republicans could become the majority in the Senate after the next election, and if the Republicans also maintain their majority in the House of Representatives, Obama will have a two year lame duck period where he will not get anything through the Congress. You better believe that the Democrats remember what happened to them the last time they pushed gun control.
What the Congress should do is make it harder for dangerous mentally ill people to get their hands on any class of firearms as that´s where the problem lies.

Banning guns would result in the underground selling the guns. It´s supply and demand. And that would empower the gangs even more, and more people would be shot down, gang style. More politicians and cops and judges on the mob payroll. If guns are banned from the legal economy, the country would become more violent.

The concept of foreseeability in lawsuits has been watered down to the point where your liability ca nbe based on pure lunacy."They should have known" is a favorite among class action shakedown trial lawyers boards.
A lawyer in a diaper could run with the foreseeability in the Sandy Hook shootings putting the town at risk for huge payouts.They would be un insurable after that.
This is what´s going to drive decisions on security guards so it´s the left defeating itself.

Our rights were not granted by Congress. God granted them to us. The Founding Fathers constantly invoked God while preparing and writing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. No one should be allowed to modify or limit these rights. No metrosexual TV news show host, no mayor of Boston or New York, no Senator from California or New York, no Vice President from Delaware. These individuals will soon pass from the American scene, however, our God-given rights will never vanish as long as America exists. These rights are worth fighting and dying for.

#4, if that goes through, then folks will either have to go to Nevada to restock or start making their own ammo. When I was a kid, my neighbor used to make his own. I found it fascinating and wanted to learn how to do it.

Those hundreds and hundreds of men, women and children in Mexico have died in vain from the guns obama sold to the mexican drug cartels....
That is how a liberal would think as obama and his eggheads came up with the idea of MURDERING as many people as possible as an excuse to take guns away from everyone - except themselves of course.

Good points all, especially #8, 12, and 19. Would like to know what further laws would prevent deranged individuals from acquiring guns, though. Would people need to go through a battery of government shrink-administered tests??? That´ll do ´er!

If banks were really smart, they would put up signs that said "No bank robbery allowed at this bank. Robbers go away."
Homes could have signs that said: "No home invasions, burglary, theft, rape or assault allowed here. Go away or we´ll call the police. They will be here in 15 or 20 minutes so you better watch out."
This should work out just fine. Don´t worry about anything. We have laws to stop bad people. You´re really not shot dead, you just think you are. Works every time.

The battle lines are drawn for the November election in Virginia, with Democrats seeking to portray the GOP ticket that emerged from the party’s state convention this weekend as “extreme” and “all Tea Party, all the time.” (Snip) Now Democrats think they can discredit E. W. Jackson, the minister and lawyer the GOP nominated for lieutenant governor after four ballots this weekend. He told delegates on Saturday he was “not an African American, but an American” and vowed to “get the government off our backs, off our property, out of our families, out of our health care

Representative Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, says President Barack Obama may face impeachment over his administration’s response to the Benghazi attack. (Snip) Chaffetz’s tension with the White House has been building for months, ever since he took a fact-finding trip to Libya last October, less than a month after the terrorist attack. During that visit, he huddled with several U.S. diplomats, including Gregory Hicks, a former deputy chief of the Libya mission. But the heavy-handed tactics of the president’s advisers, he complains, sullied his investigation from the start.

Editor’s Note: Last week, Jay Nordlinger attended the Oslo Freedom Forum, the annual human-rights conference held in the Norwegian capital. I have a friend named Mileydi Fougstedt, who’s a Cuban journalist resident in Stockholm. Her first name is pronounced pretty much like “m’lady.” So when you’re speaking to her, you feel like you’re speaking to a high-class Englishwoman. (Snip) One of the speakers here is the prime minister of Tibet — the democratically elected prime minister of Tibet. I’m speaking, of course, of what’s called the “Central Tibetan Administration”: Tibet’s government-in-exile, located in Dharamshala, India.

Under President Obama, “justice” is anything but blind. (Snip) Our sources have provided Liberty Counsel an internal DOJ document titled: “LGBT Inclusion at Work: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Managers.” It was emailed to DOJ managers in advance of the left’s so-called “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month.” The document is chilling. It’s riddled with directives that grossly violate – prima facie –employees’ First Amendment liberties. Following are excerpts from the “DOJ Pride” decree. When it comes to “LGBT” employees, managers are instructed: “DON’T judge or remain silent. Silence will be interpreted as disapproval.”

It is a bizzaro world indeed when left-leaning Slate makes a better case for limited government than the Mitt Romney Campaign and the GOP establishment managed to make during the 2012 cycle. Yet for the second time in less than a week, two different writers from Slate have done so, making compelling arguments for conservatism, and tweaking the establishment at the same time for good measure -- simply by observation and common sense.

An idea so crazy it just might … Opponents and supporters of “comprehensive immigration reform” (i.e. amnesty) agree it doesn’t do well on the front burner of public debate. (Snip) Back in March, I didn’t see how the Obama team, however brilliant, was going to protect its amnesty bill from this threat of publicity, given that the mainstream press was “commmitted to overcovering this issue.” Now we know the answer! In its most fiendish strategem yet, Team Obama has launched a series of not-quite-devastating but press-obsessing scandals against itself!

My American Enterprise Institute colleague Charles Murray came to the defense of our former colleague Jason Richwine, who was fired by the Heritage Foundation amid protests about his Harvard Ph.D. thesis, on nationalreview.com. Charles was entirely accurate in stating that Richwine’s conclusion that Hispanics have lower-than-average IQs is accurate and, among specialists in this area, non-controversial. Richwine was careful to say that the average Hispanic IQ might rise over time, as has been observed of other groups’ average IQs. And the Heritage Foundation paper co-authored by Richwine estimating the fiscal cost of legalizing current illegal immigrants

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen.
