Obama uses grieving parents to promote gun legislation

[Luddly Neddite]

This assssinine accusation that the president used these people -

Really shows how little regard the R and rw's have for all the people killed and especially, how little they care about those babies being dismembered, literally shredded by high capacity mag.

The right wants to protect criminals, illegals, terrorists, mentally ill. The right wants them armed to the teeth.

Just despicable.

No, despicable is pushing a gun control agenda on the backs of dead children while people's emotions are compromised.

The anti-gun loons can only argue from emotion, ignorance and/or dishonesty.

And if the NRA, the mouthpiece for gun manufacturer profits doesn't want it, we don't get it. Even when over 90% of We, the People want it.

The selfish spirit of commerce knows no country, and feels no passion or principle but that of gain.
Thomas Jefferson - Letter to Larkin Smith (1809).

I will say for the 1000th time - we are living in oligarchical governance - we are no longer a representative republic, and haven't been since the 1980's.
This is also why corporations are getting larger and larger and larger, they get HUGE tax abatements, HUGE tax loopholes, laws made that favor them and make it nearly impossible for small businesses to overcome etc. etc. etc.

I totally agree, but then there is these people...

Excellent.

And, as usual, rw's lie and troll rather than face up to the FACTS.

Here it is again:

Repubs (and NRA) LIED about the content of the bill.

and

The right wants to protect criminals, illegals, terrorists, mentally ill. The right wants them armed to the teeth.

Both of those statements are true. Own it.

Thank you for proving my point. Well done.

Obama uses victims as examples to prevent this thing from happening again.

Because with the OP's logic, fuck who you are and what you have to endure. *MY* extremely lax gun rights are at stake! I will have to deal with REGULATION!

Loonies and Psychos should be given guns and nobody should do anything about it.

Then how about looking into changing the mental health portion of HIPPA rather than taking away a constitutional right you misguided twit........

This is lame, even for brainless R.

Are we all supposed to wait until the R says its okay to for victims and their families to speak out?

Really, there is no excuse for the lies from the NRA, pubs, and 4 D's who line their pockets and vote in favor of killing and violence.

Translation: You can't deny the truth.

You didn't read the bill (rws NEVER do). You bought into the lies and even worse, you want to arm criminals, illegals, terrorists, mentally ill.

And, now you can't deny it.

Don't feel bad - this is the biggest concentration of ignorant rw's on the web.

The Newtown families came to Washington because they expected Congress to finally do something.........suckers

If Goldman Sachs wanted it - we would get it the next day.

Yanno................I always grew up with the idea that the people were the bosses of the elected officials, and the elected officials were responsible for doing what their constituents wanted.

When did the NRA suddenly become the people who control the government?

If obama didn't use grieving parents as pawns and tools, how come he never spoke with the Sandy Hook parents that are AGAINST gun control. Doesn't he care what they have to say?

Got a link that shows where a Sandy Hook parent is against gun control?

I would not have said it if there wasn't. I did it again. Assumed others were aware and they aren't at all.

If King Barakula was really interested in the issue, wouldn't he listen to both sides? I know he's not Solomon, but as it appears he's not even Joffrey!

Elected officials vote in parallel to the sentiments of their constituents - else they lose their jobs.
Clearly, there's a significant number of senators whose constituents don't agree with you.

The N.R.A. Protection Racket
By RICHARD W. PAINTER


The most blatant protection racket is orchestrated by the National Rifle Association, which is ruthless against candidates who are tempted to stray from its view that all gun regulations are pure evil. Debra Maggart, a Republican leader in the Tennessee House of Representatives, was one of its most recent victims. The N.R.A. spent around $100,000 to defeat her in the primary, because she would not support a bill that would have allowed people to keep guns locked in their cars on private property without the property owner’s consent.

The message to Republicans is clear: “We will help you get elected and protect your seat from Democrats. We will spend millions on ads that make your opponent look worse than the average holdup man robbing a liquor store. In return, we expect you to oppose any laws that regulate guns. These include laws requiring handgun registration, meaningful background checks on purchasers, limiting the right to carry concealed weapons, limiting access to semiautomatic weapons or anything else that would diminish the firepower available to anybody who wants it. And if you don’t comply, we will load our weapons and direct everything in our arsenal at you in the next Republican primary.”

The odd thing though is that their return on investment in the national election was so terrible it makes you wonder how any politician can see them as a credible threat.

WASHINGTON -- Adolphus Busch IV, heir to the Busch family brewing fortune, resigned his lifetime membership in the National Rifle Association on Thursday, writing in a letter to NRA President David Keene, "I fail to see how the NRA can disregard the overwhelming will of its members who see background checks as reasonable."
