Charlie Daniels on Gun Control - Page 5

Spell checks a side that changes nothing .

Your the one who didn't get it right the first time.

I suppose you are in favor of gun control despite the facts.

Preston dear, I did not attend 'grade school', as I had the benefit of
an English education.  Which of course meant we were taught a
different view of the War of Independence.  S'funny no one else
mentioned the reserve when you were posting about 'brownshirts' -
how many Americans actually fully realise the implications of
automatically being part of  "a militia to defend their own communities" ?
Probably not too many, given the appalling lack of comprehension of
many other matters often exposed by vox populi pieces on here & YouTube.
People over here take the piss out of the notion of our WW2  Home Guard;
in the event of any threat or insurrection, by agency of government or anybody
else, it would doubtless be mostly a question of people in both/either nation
being tempted to just look after themselves & their immediate loved ones,
only a few would be altruistic enough to do more, on any 'community defence'
basis - with or without guns - and I wish that I could say I'd be sure those few
would be entirely composed of people with a wider social consciense, but I
suspect it would just be a mixture of political opinions based on chance and
circumstance.

Look another legal gun murders another victim.

We just need more legal guns.

Yeah I saw the news about head injuries, pain killers, and drugs in professional sports, along with gun ownership among athletes.

Boo hoo hoo another gun death.

How many people died today in car crashes?
How many died today period?
Do you have the statistics?

Look more news. Boo hoo this.

"On Friday, December 14th, I put two children on the bus and only one came home. I pray that no mother, father, grandparent or caregiver of children ever have to go through this pain," said Nelba Marquez-Greene, whose six-year-old daughter Ana Marquez-Greene, a first grader with brown eyes and black curls, was killed in the shooting.

 

One month after the shootings that left 20 children and six adults dead, the group, called Sandy Hook Promise, vowed at a press conference to transform public outrage into action to "make our communities and our nation a safer, better place."

Named for Sandy Hook Elementary School where the shootings took place, the group pledged to hold debates on wide-ranging safety issues and come up with a plan of action. At least half a dozen pairs of parents of children slain in the attack appeared on stage with the organizers, some making their first public appearances since the shooting, all holding photographs of their son or daughter.

"There is no quick-fix single action but instead a multitude of interlinked actions that are needed," said Nicole Hockley, whose son Dylan, a blue-eyed, blond-haired six year old, was also killed.

The killings plunged the rural New England town of 27,000 into grief along with much of the country and prompted President Barack Obama to form a task force headed by Vice President Joe Biden to find ways to curb gun violence.

Biden is due to submit recommendations as early as Tuesday. He has said that he will recommend universal background checks for gun buyers and limits on the ammunition capacity of magazines. Gun rights groups said on Sunday that these restrictions would fail in Congress.

The Newtown group offered no specific solution or policy position, but co-founder Thomas Bittman said its aim is to drive a national conversation on three issues: gun ownership and regulation, mental health, and school and public safety.

"Some of us who came together to start Sandy Hook Promise are gun owners," Bittman said. "We hunt. We target shoot. We protect our homes. We're collectors. We teach our sons and daughters how to use guns safely.

"We're not afraid of a national conversation within our community and in Congress about responsibility and accountability," Bittman said.

The National Rifle Association, the biggest gun rights lobby group, has predicted that Obama's drive for new limits on firearms and ammunition sales will fail in Congress.

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut who attended the event in the basement gymnasium of Newtown's former town hall, warned the NRA against being too confident of congressional inaction.

"I think what is possible politically today changed a month ago today," Murphy said, referring to the December 14 school attack. "It's the NRA's job to say that no gun control legislation can pass Congress, but they're wrong."

The elementary school, about 70 miles northeast of New York City, remains closed to everyone but police who are still investigating the attack. Its students, more than 400 children in kindergarten through fourth grade, are attending school in the neighboring town of Monroe.

Residents on Sunday began debating what to do with the school itself. At a town meeting attended by several hundred people, including Sandy Hook parents, it was clear there is no early consensus on whether the building should ever be used again as a school.

Newtown First Selectman Patricia Llodra, the town's top elected official, said it would be months before a decision on the facility's future is reached.

Authorities have not offered a motive for the attack. The gunman, Adam Lanza, 20, killed his mother before driving to the school and shot himself dead after the rampage.
