The group is also looking at new ways to deal with mental-health care and what the president has called a culture that “glorifies guns and violence,” Biden said." http://www .cnn.com/2013/01/09/politics/gun-control-battle/index.html?on.cnn=1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-13148002111634657852013-01-04T12:59:54.939-05:002013-01-04T12:59:54.939-05:00Elaine,

That is why they simply ignore the Constitution or more accurately, define it as a living document where they and they alone have the authority to determine what it means.<br /><br />The transfer of the real and only God to the state as god has been a long battle with the human controllers winning most of the campaigns. Their war against the individual keeps getting bolder and with the election and re-election of Obama, they don't hide their hatred of our founding principles but wage bigger battles against those who dare stop their goal of forcing the individual to secede all of his rights, wealth, and life to the control of the government. --ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-49426285813743412042013-01-04T07:51:52.051-05:002013-01-04T07:51:52.051-05:00Jack, thank you for sharing the information about ...Jack, thank you for sharing the information about the letter of brave U.S. Marine.

Politicians, movie stars, banks, etc. all have armed guards. There is a reason for this, but they consider us peasants not important enough to live. That is why, in this country, they will never take our guns away without a revolt. The peasants outnumber those who consider us unimportant. I've fought for my country, lived by the law, and watched as scumbags and crazy people try to destroy the nation and get away with it. They will not disarm us, period. Guns represent our power against becoming victims.

The position of the gun grabbers on this issue doesn't even make any sense. Over Christmas, I went to my wife's family for the annual dinner. Being that they are all extreme Leftists, Sandy Hook was fresh on there minds. My Brother-in-law being a High School Principal shared there plan with us and it was reaffirmed by one of the school age children and there parents. The plan now is IF a shooter enters there school, they (children, teachers and staff) are trained to wait until he reloads or the gun jams, throw books at him and all at once charge the shooter and tackle him. No, I am serious. This was followed by the mocking of the NRA spokesman's idea to have people armed in schools. They think this is ridiculous. <br /><br />So when I could take no more I finally simply asked them, "If armed guards are such a bad idea, why do we have them at the State House?" "Are the State Reps more important than these children?" Then of course I looked at my wife's nephew and clearly told him, "If a shooter enters your school, ignore everything these retards told you and run and hide."<br /><br />I then ended the conversation by pulling out my .45 that I had hidden in my waist and placed it on the table and asked if anyone wanted to tackle me! <br /><br />True story.<br />ASGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-363025326633219292013-01-03T07:17:25.069-05:002013-01-03T07:17:25.069-05:00I would like to see the Time Publish Daniel's ...I would like to see the Time Publish Daniel's piece as a counterpoint to this mush they posted today:<br />http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/03/opinion/how-to-get-a-new-assault-weapons-ban-through-congress.html?ref=opinion<br />Obviously the editors at the NYTimes forbid any commentary on this dreck.
