i think the "talks" should start with the influence the gun lobby has enjoyed with our gov't, they have bought their way to one of the top lobbys.
politicians Dems included run scared of the preceived power by the NRA to influence voters, we have seen this year that if we don't want it, money can't by you a gov't, that said is the NRA bluster just that, and the people are realizing where the real power lies?
"Don't politicize the shooting" has been a common refrain after the mass shootings of 2012, especially among Second Amendment–defending conservatives. But in the wake of Friday's shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut, a few conservatives are bucking the usual routine and indicating an openness to question decades of maxims about access to guns."This is not the gun's fault, but guns *do* make this sort of atrocity much, much easier to commit," Townhall editor Guy Benson said on Twitter. "That's indisputable."Benson maintained that he isn't a "gun-grabber," but "there is a sickness in society. Guns can both exacerbate& mitigate the consequences of that sickness."
that is a given for a very long time, '
"guns don't kill people, people kill people" by virtue of that the "sickness" is where half of the problem is, but NRA pushes threatens political figures if they don't promote, so to wrap it up want to start a decline in these tragedies, stop the promoters then invest in at least schools the awareness of those behaviors that can become another mass killing. do republicans feel that to be wasteful and that money could be used to start a war or witch hunt?
Conservative author David Frum was panned on Michelle Malkin's Twitchy site for sending a sarcastic tweet this morning: "Obviously, we need to lower the age limit for concealed carry so toddlers can defend themselves."
"Almost uniquely in the world, the United States suffers massacre after massacre after massacre: in schools, in workplaces, in movie theaters, on city streets," Frum wrote. "And after each such massacre, there follows a great hushing: don't you dare mention the most obvious reason for this unique American horror":
And I'll say: I'll accept no lectures about "sensitivity" on days of tragedy like today from people who work the other 364 days of the year against any attempt to prevent such tragedies.`
as asinine as his first statement is the rest has a point
