Bob Costas understands “Nuance”… That’s code for I’m a Shepple…
While I understand the sentiment, I do not think it is a good idea to give these psychopaths any further exposure than already given.
The “sentiment” is 180 degrees from the truth. THAT’S what needs exposure.
Who’s responsible for that whopper?
L-I-E! LIE!!!
That letter is proof of why our Armed Forces will always protects us, from all enemies, foreign and domestic. So if that day shall ever come in which a tyrant attempts to deny Americans their Freedoms, these guys will be leading the charge. I can’t believe that it has come to this. Our own soldiers having to remind the Commander in Chief about the Constitution and explain it to him.
I do not know if letters like this are common with many causes, but it does make you step back and think. Why do our legislators and our President need reminding of this?. They are actually planning and wanting to take a way a right no one can legally take away. Clearly, if he ever to read this, I hope a slight chill ran down his back. A reminder that our Country defends the people, not one man or unconstitutional laws.
But he won’t. He believes he is God like, and he will dismiss their letter as childish and uneducated. But there is always hope that chill did run down his spineless back. And that he never forgets it.
Anything to further the celebrity status of spree shooters is in bad taste, in my opinion. Including this picture.
The same point could have been made without showing their picture and just using their names.
For the love of God read your kids some Harry Potter. You are pretty much guaranteeing they will grow up to rebel against your indoctrination.
The 2A will only survive if we are ever vigilant, and remain constantly on the offensive. We must constantly work to repeal the already very, very many bad gun control laws on the books! There will be no time to celebrate our victories, never a moment to rest- this is an endless Sisyphean task to preserve what few precious rights we have left… NEVER forget that!
I don’t think forcing anyone to take those drugs is the answer we are looking for. In fact a good case could be made for said drugs being responsible for the actions of some lunatics. Lets face it, when people with mental problems are identified, they need constant supervision. Whether in a mental hospital or however you want to do it, but they can’t be allowed free will. What CAUSES people to kill is the problem, not what they USE to kill.
Pharmaceutical researcher here. Like the poster says, these guys weren’t taking their meds. What is really the problem is the inability to commit mentally-ill patients to facilities where they can be treated. The ACLU forced the closing of these facilities and the deinstitutionalization of mental patients (noticeable uptick in homeless people, mass shootings, etc.). Newtown had the Fairfield Hills Hospital which was shut down in the ’90’s–Adam Lanza should have been there, not kept at home with Mom because there was no alternative.

…and the fact that people like Holmes can’t be put on the NICS roster BEFORE they do something evil….
Thx for the comments. I sent that picture in a week ago. Thought they forgot me lol.
Aren’t we supposed to be about personal responsibility and not blaming the actions of criminals on outside sources?
Guns and prescription drugs are merely a scapegoat. This is no better than saying that guns were the problem and inviting more right restricting laws into our lives.
If these drugs were the problem, and there are MILLIONS of people on them every single day, don’t you think we would see more of this behavior?
Don’t slump to their level folks. We’re better than this. Blame the perpetrator, not the tool.
Reading the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to your kids at night.
I love it!
Bravo, sir!

Interesting that a unilateral action by the City Council to ban the guns is a “much-needed community dialog” while a response by the gun club is “unfortunate”.
However, the Burlington police can console themselves by noting that no matter how incompetent they become from lack of practice, they’ll still be better than New York’s Finest.
Feinstein can fsck off. And so can anyone who agrees with her, for that matter. They’re certainly welcome to huff each others gaseous emissions as long as they do it where we don’t have to watch. An airtight room would be a good start.
Welcome. And I’m sorry you had to find out the hard way that 911 is only part of the self protection scenario.
But noooo… according to Feinstien and McCarthy they want you to be victims!
Holy F)(*& I need to move out of this state! I’ve had it with the idiots here.
Like most recent proposals, this one does not go nearly far enough. We need several further outright bans:
Sights. Like pistol grips, these are objectionable because they are a military feature and make the weapon easier to use for its intended purpose. An especially vicious form of sights is the scope, which gives a close-up, pornographic view of the carnage which appeals to some sick minds. Ban sights, save lives.
Firing pins. Let’s face it, politics requires compromise. The Voice of Reason wants to take 100% of your gun, you want me to take 0% of it. I’ll meet you 99% of the way there. All I’ll take is that 1% that is the firing pin (another military feature, by the way). You keep all the rest of the gun! Still not satisfied? Okay, you can keep the firing pin if there is a safety device installed that prevents it from ever protruding beyond the breech face. You keep 100% of the gun, with just a few millimeters’ difference in the movement of one tiny part. Not even you loonies could say no to that.
Shooting with your eyes open. We live in dangerous times. Millions of Americans are even now planning killing sprees, as shown by the following evidence: (A) assault weapons can be used only for killing sprees, and (B) millions of Americans have bought them. We need desperate measures. Now, the V of R is nothing if not open to rational proof, and the research demonstrates that shooting with your eyes open greatly increases the danger of hitting the target. Just imagine that next spree killer trying to kill lots of people with his eyes closed! Note that I am not endorsing the more radical proposal that all gun owners be required to have their eyes surgically removed. I am the V of R, not some sort of extremist.
Shooting at all. On second thought, that last idea may not go far enough. It seems that even when shooting with your eyes closed you may hit something, in fact you’re almost certain to. I did some legal analysis and found that your precious 2A mentions keeping and bearing, but says nothing about shooting. I smell loophole! So we’ll just ban shooting. Note that you will still be allowed the full recreational experience of aiming the gun, so long as it has no sights and you keep your eyes closed.
I hope we can come together on these commonsense proposals.
Waco and Ruby Ridge were failed ATF operations, but the FBI deserves much of the credit for the murders. We need to disband most Federal law enforcement agencies. The Federal government was not supposed to have any general police power.
To all gun owners in New Jersey for both health (too much toxic waste in NJ in air water land ect.) and your firearms rights. LEAVE the STATE move to Texas! Let those idiots get sick in there own toxic waste in the dump of NJ!
Good to see another lady who love to shoot knows the rights of americans. Welcome aboard.
Love it when the fact hit her ugly face. Like nick said keep the pressure up!!! Watch NRA news Sen Grassley had a good time telling Cam Edwards on how dumb Di Fi’s ban is.
?????? I’m confused. Did someone misquote her or did she actually say anti-gun, anti-assault weapon position? Isn’t that what she wants? Or did someone leave out the word “ban?”
This incident occurred in Greene County (next door to where I live), and they *love* to whack criminals there. I would expect a murder charge to be added to the list of charges in due course by the Grand Jury.
I now present you with the following…
Behold! THE SHRINE OF THE MALL COP!

I think it’s tragic and sad that they keep wheeling out the traumatic brain injury survivor to shill for their cause when she clearly has reduced mental faculties.
And then there’s the Giffords sideshow.
Oh, you thought I meant Gabby? No, I was talking about Feinstein.
*ditto*
This has been my ammo strategy…every time I get a paycheck, I spend 30 bucks on ammo. All in need is 9mm, .22lr, 12 & 20 gauge. If I find a sale, and I have the cash, I stock up. I have been doing this since last “ammo shortage”, or roughly 2-3 years now. I have a good stash, with plenty to go practice, hunt, or plinking with the kids. I have a good stash of ammo, without a big sacrifice money wise. It has worked ok for me.
The capitalist side of me says…to hell with box limits. If i happen to be there at the right time and can afford to buy them all, that’s my freedom to do so. If someone else should get there before me and do the same thing, well good for them. I’ll take my chances again next time. The compassionate/socialist side of me says… ok sure 3 boxes for everyone sounds fair. At least more than 1 person gets to be a little happy with something.
Thanks TTAG for posting my article! I hope that it can persuade some people who are on the fence about gun rights.
