Politicians/Media Refuse "proudly Gun Free" Sign

ftfy to reflect WASP America.

So clean up gangs! I would rather give police the tools (laws, lack of red tape, weapons, etc) needed to fight gangs then to infringe on the right of Americans to own guns. But that is what is trying to be done. Punish/restrict law abiding citizens for the actions criminals do rather than GO AFTER CRIMINALS.

Because what was the issue at hand? What was the issue they were supposedly trying to fix? They were trying to make children safer at schools. The NRA provided a solution they believe is the best way to do that. It wasn't simply MORE GUNS! It was trained armed security at schools; retired police officers and military etc. If your goal is to protect children at schools then there you go.

They have been made fun of for pointing out that the President's daughters go to a private school that has armed security. That argument is met with sarcasm "well of course they are the President's kids etc." Well we want the best protection for the President's kids right? And that protection at school is armed security. If it made the school more dangerous would they be there?

And how do you keep guns out of the hands of criminals or wayward youth that have designs to kill people on a mass scale?

You put up barriers. Simple barriers like a background check or a mental evaluation before you get to buy guns. The same way we don't give anyone who turns 16 the right to drive without passing both a written and road test.

That's how you start to combat violence. You make it harder for criminals to get guns and don't hand me the "well, they'll use illegal channels" because many of the kids who have incited these massacres only could get access to guns because things have been so lax it's almost trivial to pick up an arsenal.

people don't have the right to drive.

how do you prevent criminals from getting guns? how about keeping them in jail where they belong?

No! that's how you combat gun violence, you don't give two shits about violence.

and yes, they will use the illegal channels, and I disagree with your assessment.

You two don't seem to digest this point well. 1) you're assuming gun-regulation = total ban on guns. 2) the "law abiding citizens" aka middle WASP america, don't really need guns(for self-protection) to begin with since they aren't having 2pac or JLo shoot them up!

1. we aren't assuming that.

2. fortunately that wasn't your decision to make.

also like how you just claimed that every non "wasp" is a criminal, you could really do to stop being so *** racist.

It was buy more guns and the ridiculous notion of arming every guard in schools with a veritable treasure trove of weaponry is going to address the ease of getting weapons brought to you by the NRA. It's classic deflection from the main issue at hand: The ease of anyone to get their hands on firearms.

The NRA and the gun lobby are in this for money and with every statement they make only further proves that. Well, that and the stupidity of ***like this:

that isn't the main issue at hand...

Law abiding citizens was placed in quotes... But again my point stands blacks/latinos no where in this country are standing up for MOAR GUNS!

Quit with the minority ***. I take you as a studied and intelligent person. But the way you just won't let that go leads me to believe you are hating on them back, like the "racist uneducated wasps" you think they are. Instead of hating on them for being different and growing up different, why not go live out there and give them hugs.

And no, I assume that the banning of a gun type, is a slippery slope to go down, and will only lead to more guns being banned for citizens and let only criminals to have them.

My favorite part about this is that Obama's #18 order is "Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers" which are defined as specially trained police officers that work in schools. Yes they are armed. And he is being hailed as a genius hero, when that was really the same plan as the NRA suggested. Of course he also added a bunch of healthcare related checks, and a couple things that boil down to "do the job the government was supposed to do before hand."

it doesn't matter if it was in *** pixie dust.

stop lying, it doesn't matter how many times you repeat it, it doesn't make it true.

Show me minority activists supporting moar guns... Common I'm waiting for the citations and evidence.

No it doesn't. Me and my kin are! Just cause you don't see us on the cover of NRA magazines does not make your statement true.

Christ, Jet took words out of my mouth!

Plenty of blacks in my region are pissed about the gun laws.

eww, they're all covered in spit.

yuck!

Because Condi represents the majority of the African-American population....

Austin Texas? I don't consider Austin a major city statistically vs Houston/Dallas.

If you think I was trying to insult you, I was NOT. I just had no answer. Next time, I will just make up some lie and scream it at the top of my lungs and claim it is true. Getting good notes from you.

Cause Mafierro represents all Gays and Hispanics.

Condoleeza Rice is a republican which nullifies any minority status in America.

Of course not stop putting words in my mouth. But you two can't provide the contrary. Again i'll ask again.

And in the fear whipped up by the gun lobby, gun sales skyrocket.

Again, military weapons are banned though you could make the 2nd amendment argument that I'm entitled to a SAM, a mortar or a grenade launcher.

I didn't see us tumble down the slippery slope there and outlawing firearms completely hasn't been taken seriously unless you count Piers Morgan as speaking for America.

that's not helping...

Huh I live in north east Texas(Dallas area) think you've got me mixed up with Zah. ;^^

Show me a minority activist that speaks out against President Obama on one thing.

Oh ok lol. Where are they in large scale media. I certainly havn't seen anyone from Houston, which has the highest crime rate in the state.

you were answered, when you didn't like the response you changed your question.

please, stop trying to pursue your race card.

You must not look very far on the internet. Remember all those people here on XIAH bashing Obama for not getting single payer passed? Right.

Democrats are known for cannibalizing their elected officials afterall.

Obama proposed something you agree with so... Obama bad?
