Gun rights advocates railed against the Obama administration and a failed bipartisan measure that would have expanded background checks on private gun sales Friday during the National Rifle Association national convention in Houston.
Several speakers, including NRA Executive Director Chris Cox and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, pounded President Barack Obama for capitalizing on the shooting tragedy in Newtown, Conn., to further a gun control agenda."When a deranged criminal murders innocent children, they blame us," said Cox, adding that the NRA works to promote gun safety and restricting access to guns to the mentally ill and criminals.
did your eyes burn and water after reading that one, where are they fighting for safety of any kind, by selling your kid a rifle to kill their siblings, arm the teachers so your kid can be caught in a crossfire,
block background checks so we won't know about their secret army they got politicians to give them licenses to kill and laws to wantonly murder because you didn't like the idea of them walking on " your side of the street?
mentally challenged those states that support them don't report those challenged and they say "enforce the laws we have", the ones they have systematically watered down to nothing?
who's zoomin' who?
"We've made our country safer and more free by protecting the fundamental right of law-abiding Americans to defend their homes and their families, but they still blame us," he said. "That's because when we see tragedy, Barack Obama and Michael Bloomberg, they see opportunity. While we pray for God to comfort those who are suffering unimaginable pain, they rush to microphones and cameras and gather in war rooms on Capitol Hill and scheme about how to use that suffering to push their political agenda."The NRA, the top pro-gun lobbying group in the country, has been able to win the gun control debate in Washington and the boisterous crowd was in a celebratory mood as they cheered the convention speakers.Rising conservative star Cruz struck a lawyerly note with a speech aimed at extolling the virtues of the Constitution."The Constitution matters," he said. "All of the Constitution. It's not pick and choose. It's not take what part you like and get rid of the parts you don't like. For some reason Obama liberals want to disregard the First Amendment and take away our right to speak and political speech."
that one should have really singed your eyebrows, constitution and republican jaw jacking the only way the work in the same sentence is when we talk about how the trounce all over our rights within that same constitution that he says you can't pick and chose what does he call it when they tried stripping our voter rights did they pick or choose?
safer there has been more than 3,300 deaths since Sandy Hook.by guns, that's right they've always had that math and message problem, safe does not add up to 3,300 gun deaths in the rest of the world.
