Hahahahahaha... Its posts like this that are the strongest argument for controlling assault weapons.
While the NRA does not weigh in on non-gun issues it seems like many of its members are also staunch Tea-party supporters. I wonder who the NRA thinks is going to end up paying for all those armed, and hopefully trained, school guards.
Maybe the NRA could pick up the tab.
Just a thought.

They will fix everything.
The correct question here is how is someone as stupid as you to be prevented from owning a gun or even appearing in public. Time for you to crawl back into your survivalist cave.

Controlling assault weapons won't stop those events from happening, it will only allow a further entree for organized crime to run yet another illegal product on the black market.Anyone that wants one of those weapons will get one.
Lets make drugs illegal in the same way, while we are at it. Lets see if that works.

Now, now no reason for bigoted generalizations and transparent ad hominems.
If there wasn't freedom of speech, how would the NRA be able to repeatedly be able to publicly demonstrate that it is made up of cynical, opportunistic extremists?
Or for Liberals to demonize and character -assassinate their opponents.
Don't know about the NRA but I am positive the NBA has an unlimited supply.
Excellent, although I think the NRA's proposal is right up there, too.
Jstan, I wish I could be more sanguine on the role of the media in all this. Unfortunately, the role of the media has not changed since the inception of our Republic -- it is to sell its product. Whether it's Hearst ginning up hysteria over the Maine or the modern press making you think the murder rate is spiraling upward (rather than the truth, viz. downward), they're just trying to create enough of a sensation to get us to buy their wares.
Sad to say, the vast majority of the American public has no taste for facts, so no one reports mere facts except for a very few outlets. There's clearly a market for objective news; otherwise the Wall Street Journal would be out of business, given its rather high price with no free access. Unfortunately, that market is apparently pretty small. The New York Times might still be doing OK, but most other news organizations that report with any depth are in deep financial trouble.
If we could change that, we'd be on to something. Since I don't see that changing, we need to work with what we have. The media's going orgasmic over the possibility of using this latest tragedy to make illegal use of firearms more illegal was not one of the media's finer hours.

BTW, which defense contractor you work for?
Just wondering how the money confiscated from my paycheck gets to you.
"Controlling assault weapons won't stop those events from happening"
I agree, but it makes sense to try to keep guns out of delusional idiots hands. And so I support any regulation that make it more difficult/impossible to obtain those weapons.

Well in order to defend this nation from hostile forces , and follow the dictates of the Constitution 'provide for the common defense', you can have our weapons made in Cuba, Venzuela, or even China, for mighty cheap.
F*#k 'em.
Everyone knows you are a man by now. No need to cuss,for the 100th time.

That is not what is being proposed by the gun-hating Left. They are proposing that these
bans affect everyone . They won't stop until all weapons owned by ordinary citizens are prohibited.
They are exploiting this tragedy to bring that outcome about.

Thats just not true. Assault weapon bans should affect everyone, but noone is advocating taking your hunting rifles and shotguns, or handguns.
Perhaps we should consider arming the School custodial staff, lunch room employees, and crossing guards as well. That will solve the problem.
No. Just one well-trained individual so that any potential mass killers will know that someone there at any given school is armed and trained to do whatever it takes to stop them.

My friend , you don't know the current crop of radical Leftists that now control the Federal government like I do.
These people are experts at Alinsky-style incrementalism.
They will ban assault weapons, but that ultimately won't work because another mass killing will occur, then they will lay the groundwork for either banning the next category of weapons, or an outright ban on all weapons owned by the common citizenry, which is where these people are ultimately headed. Make no mistake about it.

Or we can have them made by a millions of middle-class welfare recipients working at quarter-speed.
Oh, wait! It's December...change that to one-tenth speed.
Like force them to commit suicide? That seems to be the common result of these brutal massacres. Why would death dissuade someone who wants to die?
They want to kill people first. That would be why you would station someone there to prevent that. Who gives a rats rear end if the killers want to kill themselves.
If a mass killers knows that someone has the lethal means to stop them they are much more likely to think twice about trying to get what their sick minds want.
Yeah, they're like border collies or something, always trying to herd us. I bet you didn't know that border collies are secret marxists, did you?
My border collie will do anything to prevent being taken to a government -run 'shelter'
Or they'll just go to the mall.
There are armed guards at most malls. That is probably why this Lanza went to the school.
The killer at the Portland mall recently was only able to kill two people. Not 20 kids and 6 adults.

“The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”
so says the NRA chief spokesman today
Well, bullsh#t.
Jared Loughner's rampage in Tucson was stopped when he had to pause to reload. Brave UNARMED citizens used that window of opportunity to pounce on him.
Let us know!
