Harry Reid opens door to
Senate gun control debate

Politico, by Manu Raju

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 12/17/2012 3:29:49 PM

With pressure building from Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid opened the door Monday for legislative action on gun control in the wake of the deadly massacre at a Connecticut elementary school last week. While he said “no one law” or policy can stop a “determined madman,” Reid argued that Washington is “not doing enough” to protect the public from tragic episodes like the one that unfolded in Newtown, Conn. where 20 children and six adults were murdered by an armed assailant. “In the coming days and weeks, we’ll engage in a meaningful conversation

Comments:
You can´t help but note how quickly the vile Reid pounces on this issue and yet he hasn´t found the time in almost four years to produce a budget. They obviously have their priorities and none of them are beneficial to us.

I guess they want another Revolution, because that is precisely what they will get if they keep pushing this envelope. Heck more Folks are killed by guns in Chicago on any weekend than any of this mess did and it´s a gun free City. What in the Wide World of Sports is wrong with these People?

During the August 1966 massacre at the Texas University Tower, civilians armed with their own rifles helped local police to keep the shooter, Charles Whitman, from getting clear shots from the observation deck. Whitman killed over a dozen people, wounded more than thirty, and would have shot more if he had not been forced to take cover on that deck.

You cannot deal with liberals on any kind of gun control. They are not honest partners. They will lie. They will cheat. They will claim one thing and do another. They will abuse their power. They will find some way to use any gun legislation to buy votes and undermine the Constitution. And THAT is why there connot be any meaningful conversation on gun legislation.

#12 is correct, and I would add that the Texas Rangers who responded had 30/30 Winchester rifles, not so good for long range shooting, and a male student gave the rangers his scoped deer rifle to use. It worked.
The shooter, by the way, was being seen at the Counseling Center, and he was alarmed by his own peculiar behavior and thoughts. Told the counselor that he, Whitman, believed he had a brain tumor.
When they did an autopsy on Whitman, he was proven to be correct. He had a malignant brain tumor.

I let my NRA membership lapse after they failed to make an endorsement the last time Stinky Reid was up for re-election. In the same issue of their monthly magazine where they made endorsements, they had an article imploring their members to vote against senators that would approve anti-gun Supreme Court Justices. They made no endorsement in Reid´s race. This was after Stinky Reid voted for The Wise Latina and Kagan. The NRA lost a 25 year member over that, but the country lost a lot more.

This is why, regardless of the real or imagined faults of folks like Sharron Angle, Todd Akin, or Richard Mourdock, they needed to be supported by ALL the Republican and pro-2nd amendment voters of their states.

So now, we have Dingy Harry in office until 2017 and Clare McCaskill (whose hubby will continue to close his business deals in the Senate dining room) and whoever got elected in Indiana until 2019. Ditto Fauxahontas in Mass.

Just like Charlie Brown and the football, we fall for the "let´s act like we´re pro-gun and responsible around election time, because then we´ll have 5 years to do whatever we want and tell the stupid sheep back home to stuff it where the sun don´t shine because they´ll forget it next election cycle."

Those Democrats will double cross the NRA and gun owners in a minute.

Notice that they used to call for banning guns that they used to call "assault rifles" but are now calling for banning guns that they now call "assault weapons" that will have a much broader definition encompassing all semi-automatic rifles and handguns that can possibly accept either a clip or a magazine that can hold over 10 rounds of ammunition. That´s just about all semi-automatic rifles and handguns in use today. So if you have such a gun and you die, nobody else, like your heirs, would be able to possess those rifles and handguns, and since they could not be sold, it appears that they would be subject to government confiscation.

Elections definitely have consequences and all those millions of conservatives who simply stayed home rather then vote for a Mormon left the barn door wide open for the anti-gun people and they are getting ready to drive right on through.

Most of the criminals with guns did not buy them legally or register them.

The gun ban in Chicago left law bidding citizens unarmed and defenseless. How many shootings have they had this year ?

Several years ago it seemed every gun shop in the area along with high powered guns in police cars were stolen. The following year there were dozens of armed robberies. The police just couldn´t understand where the guns came from.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. The wrong name, he warned, could doom a good bill. “If there´s not a

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
