More guns not less would have minimized CO massacre deaths


Today New York Mayor, Michael Bloomberg asked the two candidates for president how they were going to address the massacre in Colorado:

"I mean, there are so many murders with guns every day, it's just got to stop. And instead of the two people – President Obama and [Gov.] Romney – talking in broad things about they want to make the world a better place, [OK], tell us how."

Here's how - start by making it easier (not harder) for law abiding citizens to obtain and carry weapons AT ALL TIMES. My point is - How many would have died in the Aurora massacre if just 1% of the moviegoers were exercising their second amendment rights and packing heat? As it was, the gunman had absolutely no resistance at all. He had a theater full of sheep.

But the liberals' answer - in typical knee-jerk simpleton reaction - is to 'ban all the guns' and the problem will be solved. Of course, this course of action has been proven wrong over and over and over again. Just ask Mayor Rahm Emanuel in Chicago. DC? Since their enforcement of more stringent gun ownership (effectively making it virtually impossible for citizens to obtain weapons) gun related murder rates have skyrocketed.

The answer is more armed citizens not less but this will never be an option for the liberals. Why? because it puts the citizen in control and not the government and that just can't happen. The liberals would much rather sacrifice a few of the electorate than relinquish one iota of control over our lives. Their goal is nothing less than utter and total gun ban. And as usual they are 180 degrees off (just like their view on raising taxes during a recession).

If Romney really wanted to make this event into something positive he should embrace making it easier for citizens to get weapons not harder. It may not be popular with the MSM but it would certainly draw a surefire difference between his vision of America and his opponents'.

Exit question: Which of the two gun related events this week will get the most play from the MSM?

This is why we have the 2nd Amendment


How long would it take the cops to get there? My guess is a lot more time than Mr. Williams' bullet took to introduce itself to Messrs Henderson and Dawkins.

I thought the race card was maxed out?


Hypothetically speaking (for this would never - ever - ever happen) but what if President Obama decided to speak at the annual NRA convention? AND, in this hypothetical speech Obama indicated that he wanted to curb gun sales which caused the audience to boo him?

HuffPo's leading headline would be NRA RAICIST, BOO THE PRESIDENT in 36-point font.

Now let's look at Romney - who did indeed go onto the lion's den and spoke at the NAACP annual convention. In his speech (which oddly enough was very close to every stump speech he'd made so far) he criticized the disaster that is O-care and was subsequently booed by the audience.

The headline after his speech? ROMNEY IS RACIST.

This from Michael Tomasky at the Daily Beast:

Romney and team obviously concluded that a little shower of boos was perfectly fine because the story "Romney Booed at NAACP" would jazz up their (very white) base.

Yes Michael, obviously, this is the answer. I couldn't possibly be that Romney is running for president of all Americans regardless of skin color and therefore thought it prudent to at least try to make his conservative case to those who he knows lean left.

Tomasky also calls Romney spineless, disingenuous, and supercilious. His evidence is that Romney does whatever the Tea Party tells him to do. Romney not only showed fortitude by showing up at the NAACP convention, he (if you read the speech) actually makes a case that Obama's policies have disproportionally hurt the black community. 

If Tomasky wants to see real spinelessness, he need look no further than The One. He sent Biden and didn't even bother to show up. If Obama wants to show he has a spin let him go into the lion's den and speak in front of the NRA and make his case for destroying the second amendment rights of all Americans.

I guess if the only thing you have left in your quiver is 8 plus percent unemployment, stagnant economy and no end in sight all you can do is scream RACIST and hope it sticks regardless of the evidence that suggest otherwise.

Golly, you mean health care costs will go up w/O-care?



The republicans on the senate budget committee released the chart above today showing that the cost of Obamacare will actually be about $2.6 trillion over the next 10 years. Notice how the estimated costs just keep on going north by $300 billion each year. Who would'a thunk that?

What do you think will happen once there is no more money left and a future congress stuck with this mess has to cap the increase in expansion? Let's see, what was it that Sara Palin said that everybody ridiculed her for a while back. Oh yeah - Death panels.

In one fell swoop Obama has managed to do what 2 world wars, a civil war and several natural disasters could do. He has effectively ended this great experiment in democracy. Thanks champ.

If we can't stop this thing by electing folks that will repeal this incredibly bad piece of legislation it will become part of our culture. In addition, every year it is in place it will become harder and harder to get rid of regardless of the cost. The best option is a quick death early next year.
