SO GLAD the Newtown Parents Are Coming Forward

[petro]

They can't argue their case without using the props of their slaughtered children...
Hey if this is what they want....

As I stated earlier in this thread, the particular family members I know of are appalled by the use of the slain children being used as pawns to push an agenda. The only thing they have lobbied for is the proposed amendment in the CT house to block the release of crime scene and autopsy photos to protect the minor children that were victims of a deranged individual. They want nothing to do with the press or the illusion of gun control, they wish to grieve in peace.

It isn't that you dont know anything. It's that so much of what you know is wrong.

What I know is that EVERY study has proven that guns in the house are dangerous to the people in the house, and the NRA's solution was to get COngress to stop funding studies because they made them look bad.

Tells me the NRA knows I'm right already.

MYOB-

Stay out of my house Joe

I don't know what it is, but we seem to have quite a few Europeans, Aussies etc. that think we will benefit from their advice.

The sniper brings up a great point. Those who have never lived in the States have no idea what being American is and no real valid reason for their lectures.

WE DON'T CARE, get it?

Being American must mean being so scared to live in your houses you need a shiny metal gun to shoot someone who steps on your front lawn.

Being American must mean that the threat of death or serious injury is so great when you walk down the street, you need a gun to protect yourself.

It must be so dangerous in America. So much crime, I mean, you can't even leave your windows wide open at night for fear someone might break in!

Its a shame, I tell you, a great shame.

You must watch way too much of the liberal trash from the media that tries to pass itself off as news. Crime rates have dropped in America the last couple of decades as conceal carry laws have passed in many states, despite the "perception" the media delivers. Bad news makes ratings, which is why there is never good news to report.

I feel quite safe here. I don't listen to the crap put out by the entertainment driven news outlets. The real shame is those that buy into it.

The only shame is you...

The right to bear arms had nothing to do with this idiots hate...

But you can't see that for you have deep hate issues as well...

All this has done is drive up gun ownership in America, you need to take a bow with your smart liberal friends...

Whoa... there's that big buzzer sound...

I live in rural Oklahoma on a 300 acre (give or take an acre) ranch. Not very big, but we raise cattle and some horses. I have a pickup, two cars, and three ranch trucks, parked by the house. All of them have the keys in them. There's a key hanger that my grandson made by the back door, but there's never any keys on it. You know, I wouldn't have a clue where the keys to the house are located because I NEVER LOCK THE FREAKIN DOOR. In the spring and summer at night, the window by my bed is open because I can hear the cattle if we get a pack of dogs chasing them. Upon rare occasions, I've also heard what I believe is a cougar or perhaps some wolves down by the river. That spooks the horses and cattle and they get all jittery which is not good, because the cattle can lose weight.

I told you that you don't understand. You never will. So why don't you accept the fact that you have no clue and weigh in on subjects that you might be taken a little seriously about? Admitted, very little... but at least you won't look like a complete imbecile.

More support for the premise that anti-gun loons can only argue from emotion, ignorance and/on dishonesty.

When I was a 17 year old girl, we lived out in the country. We lived in a big old house, up a gated driveway, off a highway that goes between the cascades and the blues. It's a 2 lane highway, and has very little traffic.

I was sitting in my 2nd story window one afternoon, looking out the window and reading when I saw a car stop at our gate. Nobody else was home. Our German Shepherd had recently been put down. Two men got out of the car, looked both ways, looked up at the house and came through the gate, quietly. They walked slowly up the driveway, looking around every step.

So I got the 30-06 from the corner of my bedroom. Several rooms in our house had loaded guns in them, and my room was one of them. My younger brother was an avid hunter, and loved guns and always had them.

I went to the window and drew a bead on those assholes and waited. My window was open and I had the barrel poking out. They got right to our porch, and one of them looked up, right at me, right at the gun. I heard him say "somebody's here let's go".

And they left.

From 2001 to 2007 I lived that area and you're absolutely right. I looked at several homes in Newtown and ended up in Brookfield, which is the next town. It's actually a well off pretty conservative area. Sure, there are scattered liberals there, but that the parents would across the board support the liberal gun control agenda is preposterous. It would in fact be the liberal gun control agenda that maximized the carnage by preventing anyone from having the means to shoot back. Liberals are responsible for how bad what happened was. Their agenda is no solution.

No, Noomie. Being American means you have a right to protect yourselves. I am NOT afraid to live in my home or to walk down the street, but anyone who enters my home or accosts me on the street should be VERY afraid.

Yes. It IS dangerous in America. I am armed because I would prefer it be more dangerous for criminals than for the law abiding.

Am I the only one who finds Noomi a complete and total mystery? Why would you go to a foreign nations web site and demean everything about them and their culture? And then, after doing so, why would you continue to come back when everyone hates you?

I mean, I would NEVER go to a muslim website and tell them their religion is evil and they should all stop treating women like animals. Of course, ALL of that is TRUE - but what would be the point of doing so? Is she truly so stupid, that she thinks she is going to convince American's to stop being Americans and instead become a bunch of surrendering pussies? It's not who we are. We don't surrender and we don't disarm. We prepare - and we go with a gun so that if there is trouble, we can protect ourselves and our families instead of cowering in the corner crying and praying that law enforcement will make it in time, like Australians do....

Being American must mean that the threat of death or serious injury is so great when you walk down the street, you need a gun to protect yourself.

It must be so dangerous in America. So much crime, I mean, you can't even leave your windows wide open at night for fear someone might break in!

Its a shame, I tell you, a great shame.

No, being an American means my ancestors CHOSE to come here for a better life. They were not SENTENCED to move here because the "mother country" no longer wanted to tolerate their presence because they were criminals.

Being an American means I am a CITIZEN, not a subject, something you can't understand.

Being American means I can CHOOSE to own a firearm or CHOOSE not to own one based on my desires because I'm a free man.

I have nothing against Australians and have enjoyed the ones I have met. Of course, they were not petty and mean spirited, as your post made you appear. I now have to decide if they were the exception to the common Australian or if you are the odd duck.

What link? What study? Seems a bit off base to say EVERY study and provide absolutely zero evidence to support this claim. Most of the gun deaths in this country are black on black gang shootings, but you will never see this administration address this issue as any talk of race brings out the PC idiots screaming racism.

Still no one addresses the deeper social issues and the mass medias influence on young minds that cannot separate reality from fantasy. The media from TV, movies, gaming glorify vile violence in a way not seen 30 years ago. Can no one see this connection?

This simply isn't true.

Most gun deaths are sucidies - 19,000 of the 31,000 a year.

Another 1000 or so are accidents.

of the 11,000 murders, the fact is, 80% of murder victims know their killers.
