| After consulting with a series of stakeholders in the ongoing debate over gun control, Vice President Joe Biden will present his recommendations for reducing gun-related violence in America to President Obama on Tuesday, he said today. The vice president, speaking to reporters before a meeting on gun violence with sportsmen and women, and just minutes before another school shooting was reported, outlined a series of the recommendations he said are emerging in the course of his conversations with various stakeholders in the conversation. Among those possible proposals include

NO NO NO!!! It is not gun CONTROL it is gun VIOLENCE we are talking about. You see, when you change the name in Newspeak it becomes something much more agreeable, though it is the exact same thing.
But we can address gun VIOLENCE by gun CONTROL but they are not the same things, though they are the same things.
Understand now?

Within hours of the tragedy in CT the usual idiots were out screaming for an assault weapon ban, a ban on "large capacity" clips and a demand closing the (nonexistant) gun show loophole..
Anyone want to guess what Bidens recomendations after a Month of study and a dozen committee meetings will be?
Obama is desperate not to let the death of 26 children and teachers go to waste. Even dead children are just a prop for a power grab to this monster.

Tragic as the death of these 20 innocent school kids is, we need to remind the libs that 334,000 babies were slaughtered last year by Planned Death. If they really cared about violence, they´d shut down the slaughter houses of Planned Death.

Semi-automatic rifles are priced above my comfort threshold, but I just discovered that a basic annual NRA membership is not, so the NRA now has another member. I am not particularly interested in or fond of guns and don´t enjoy shooting. Joining the NRA is just one small way of pushing back against those evil clowns who are trying to infringe upon the Second Amendment. We all know that this crowd would never stop there, not even if they succeeded in eliminating the Amendment altogether. Next would be the First Amendment and everything else that prevents them from "fundamentally transforming the United States of America."
For reasons yet to be explained, the public has yet to receive all the facts about the Sandy Hook killer, e.g. psychiatric history, treatment, previous episodes of violence if any, etc. Yet the usual suspects on the Left are doing their best to maintain or drum up hysteria in order to rush something into law before Americans have a chance to debate and digest it. One of the very worst and most dangerous aspects of Leftist demagoguery is this trick of exploiting, aggravating, or even whipping up emotions and crisis mentality in order to pass legislation before anyone has time to figure out what is really going on. It is truly despicable, dishonest and manipulative behavior -and it is almost entirely found on the Left today. Of course tyrants of all stripes use the technique, e.g. the Nazis and the Reichstag fire, etc.

We must do our part as well. O Tuesday, we need to flood our Congress representatives and Senators with calls and letters demanding that control of the people though firearms restrictions is not acceptable. And we need to start protest. We need to let the liberals in DC and elsewhere that they are very close to the tipping point.

Just looked it up #12 -
~~From Wikipedia: The words "MOLON LABE" (???O? ????) in Greek as they are inscribed on the marble of the modern era monument at Thermopylae. The Greek phrase Molon labe! (????? ?aß?; approximate Classical Greek pronunciation [mol?`?n labé], Modern Greek [mo´lon la´ve]), meaning "Come and take them" is a classical expression of defiance reportedly by King Leonidas in response to the Persian army´s demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae. It corresponds roughly to the modern equivalent English phrase "over my dead body", "bring it on" or, most closely, "come and get it". It is an exemplary use of a laconic phrase.~~

Maybe they should require all firearms owners to be members of the NRA and pass through firearms training courses run by NRA firearms experts, tailored to the type firearm they own.
Maybe the government should also farm out a new and more comprehensive firearms background check procedure to the NRA, and have the NRA conduct the checks through an expanded government data base of people who the law disqualifies from owning firearms, included a data base waived from the medical records protection laws, so that the records of the criminally insane and other dangerous mentally ill people can be checked as that´s where the problem is.

The game plan for the Obama gun control, including coordination with the usual suspect organizations was clearly in place before the election, waiting for Obama to be re-elected. None of the prior mass murders provoked any where near the coordinated onslaught we have seen from this case. The plan is to overwhelm the Republicans and the NRA. I would also note that Obama has marginalized the Tea Party and the Republicans; pure Alinsky. Now he is going to marginalized his last major nemesis the NRA. We will soon see a flurry of bogus hunting and gun rights organizations that support "commonsense" gun control. The whole Biden conversation is a cynical attempt to pretend to be "reasonable." As I said the game plan was all preplanned. Unfortunately, Obama has a very good success record at this sort of thing.

It´s pretty amazing to think that the most powerful nation on Earth has been reduced to actually having unconstitutional gun laws proposed, (and possibly adopted), by someone dumber than a dam doorknob who can´t count past three and has a secret wish to do advertising for The Villages retirement community! Wow...just WOW!!!

The White House’s explanation of what it knew about the investigation into the IRS’s scrutiny of conservative political groups and how it planned for the eventual release of that information shifted once again Tuesday. Just a day after telling reporters that chief of staff Denis McDonough and other senior White House staff learned of the situation nearly a month ago, press secretary Jay Carney revealed Tuesday that White House officials had consulted with the Treasury Department on how to make the findings public.(Snip) Carney said he hadn’t revealed more information about which officials

Douglas Shulman, the former commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, said today he was “dismayed and saddened” that his agency had improperly targeting conservative groups, but declined to offer a direct apology and dismissed suggestions that he mislead Congress. The testimony from Shulman, who was making his first public appearance since the IRS controversy broke into the open two weeks ago, did not satisfy members of the Senate Finance Committee. He faced more than three hours of stern questioning from Democrats and Republicans, but said “I don’t believe I was aware” when asked

For a "failed scandal," Fast and Furious sure brought out the heavy hitters at the Department of Justice to deal with a whistleblower. The department´s inspector general has released a report accusing one US attorney, Dennis Burke, of leaking a document that smeared John Dodson, a key witness in the Fast and Furious scandal, and accusing other officials in the department of coming up with a strategy to discredit him. Breitbart: The DOJ IG said it found "Burke´s conduct in disclosing the Dodson memorandum to be inappropriate for a Department employee and wholly unbefitting a U.S. Attorney."

Officials in the White House discussed how and when the Internal Revenue Service would tell the public that the agency had targeted political groups, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday. Carney said that Mark Childress, the White House deputy chief of staff, twice spoke with officials at the Treasury Department about the strategy for revealing conservative targeting. Childress and the Treasury officials discussed the possibility that Lois Lerner, the IRS official who oversaw the agency´s tax-exempt organization, would reveal that an inspector general´s investigation had found

Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia can finally agree on something. "He called me a whiner. He´s probably right," Garcia told Golf.com on Monday at the start of the week of the BMW PGA Championship in England. "But that´s also probably the first thing he´s told you guys that´s true in 15 years. I know what he´s like. You guys are finding out." On the same day that Tiger Woods uttered one word -- "No" -- to quickly dismiss the possibility of making amends over the pair´s verbal sparring during the Players Championship, the Spaniard kept swinging at

A federal court in San Francisco Tuesday struck down Arizona´s ban on abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law violates a string of U.S. Supreme Court rulings starting with Roe v. Wade that guarantees a woman´s right to an abortion before a fetus is able to survive outside the womb. That´s generally considered to be about 24 weeks. Normal pregnancies run about 40 weeks. Several states have enacted similar bans starting at 20 weeks. But the 9th Circuit´s ruling is binding only in the nine Western states

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

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:

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
