The president unveils his $500mm plan. ![](http://The president vowed to use "whatever weight this office holds" to press lawmakers into action on his $500 million plan. [b]He is also calling for improvements in school safety, including putting 1,000 police officers in schools[/b] and bolstering mental health care by training more health professionals to deal with young people who may be at risk. Read more from this Tulsa World article at http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=745&articleid=20130116_745_0_WASHIN309664) More window dressing like the Clinton assault weapon ban, adding 1000 officers in schools barely scratches the surface. Nothing but politicking and making people feel like someone is working on the problem. More false sense of security. I did like the list of proposals Gaspar listed earlier, however government bureaucracy will have that all SNAFU in no time! |

I did like the list of proposals Gaspar listed earlier, however government bureaucracy will have that all SNAFU in no time! Good speech though. All the bobbles were bobbleing, and the media fell prostrate seconds after, as if he had penned the most amazing, innovative, and brave, executive orders ever conceived by a mortal. Always interesting to watch. Can't wait to watch MSNBC at the gym tomorrow morning. I'm sure that the lives of millions of children will owed to his quick and far-reaching executive response. |

You do know you favor killing children and wanting the mentally ill to have fully auto weapons with thousand round clips if you oppose Obama; right? |

Sharp guy! But you wouldn't recognize anyone like that.... Very talented mechanical engineer in a previous life. Haven't talked with him for a long time, so don't know if he still messes with that...I know he makes a ton on the gun show. Good for him!! Capitalism at it's best. |

Maybe he'll hire some folks to help people read and fill out forms. But I think these shows are seeing their last shot at cashola. I've been waiting for comment from the comishees. |

Was anyone else aware there is an assault weapon ban in Connecticut? Golly, how did it fail to keep the Sandy Hook tragedy from happening? Sandy Hook has prompted a national effort to limit access to assault weapons. Ironically, Connecticut already possesses an assault weapons ban, Section 53-202a defines assault weapons to include “Bushmaster Auto Rifle and Auto Pistol.” Section 53-202c provides, “. . . any person who, within this state, possesses any assault weapon, [with limited exceptions] shall be guilty of a class D felony and shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of which one year may not be suspended or reduced”
In 2005, our state Supreme Court, in Benjamin v. Bailey, rejected a constitutional challenge to the ban, grounded in Article 1, Sec. 15 of our state constitution. Section 15 provides, “every citizen has a right to bears arms in defense of himself and the state.” Opponents of the ban argued that our constitution contained an absolute, unfettered right in the citizenry to bear any type of arms, including the enumerated assault weapons in Section 202a. http://blog.ctnews.com/meehan/2013/01/17/conn-s-assault-weapon-ban/ |

Identify the Gun-Control Quote: Obama, Feinstein, or Reagan?http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2012/12/reagan-obama-feinstein-gun-quiz.htmlHeirony, thanks for admitting you lost the debate by comparing gun violence and gun homocides to injuries in the sport of SOCCER. I didn't think you could top the masterful argument you made comparing assault rifles to BASEBALL BATS. But you did. Kudos. XXXX and OOOO's RUF  p.s. I want all pro-gun toting citizens to come see the new Roughnecks...I also want all gun-control supporting citizens to come see the new Roughnecks. I highly recommend conservative Republicans come see the new team, as well as liberal Democrats and libertarian hockey fans. Soccer is a great family sport, so families are always welcome. However, if you are single... well, there's http://soccerfandating.com/ We'll also be very civic minded and will have our own local supporters group regularly chanting, "Tulsa till I die, I'm Tulsa till I die...I know I am, I'm sure I am..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgAa5AFy4VE The atmosphere will be like Octoberfest every game-- all hail local brews!... and, of course, Christians who do not imbibe alcoholic beverages will be a highly valued part of our fanbase... I encourage all pro-life catholics to buy season tickets; as well as the pro-choice midtown elite... se habla espanol..... Did I mention we already have a theme song?... and tradition?... and nicer hooligans?... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5BystnkpjA Now, all we need's an owner.......

Thought I read where the gun wasn't purchased in CT.
But why was it being stored in CT? That was a Class D felony according to their law. In other words, the ban was not a deterrent to someone bringing in an illegal weapon. I suspect 30 round mag-equipped AR's are all over California even though they are completely illegal. If there is a ban on AR type weapons, I suspect there's going to be a huge run on 4" PVC pipe. Don't expect a lot of them to be turned in. |

Willing to be it's not that quick after recent developments.
Not enough he shot an unarmed man, but he tried to destroy his life when he didn't die: Jurors took less than an hour Wednesday to acquit a man accused of pointing a gun at a Harrah police officer during a traffic stop.
He was accused of running a stop sign at a high rate of speed. Stevenson faced up to 10 years in prison if convicted of the firearm charge.
He was pulled over about 1 a.m. Nov. 19, 2011, in the 5400 block of South Harrah Road.
Stevenson took the stand Wednesday, telling jurors he was unarmed when officer Jason Hall shot him after he exited his pickup at the officer's request.
Stevenson acknowledged having an unloaded handgun in his jacket pocket. He testified that he tried to tell Hall about it three times but the “agitated” officer wouldn't let him finish.
It was when the officer was about to search him that Stevenson said he decided to pull the gun out of his pocket and show the officer because “it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.”
Defense attorney Michael Branch, in his closing argument, said Hall lied about what happened because “he shot an unarmed man.”
The attorney told jurors the lead detective in the case “botched the investigation” and cost Stevenson a chance to properly defend himself in court.
“They did the right thing. He was innocent,” Branch said of the jury. “The truth came out and they judged Mr. Stevenson based on those facts.” |

Did I mention we already have a theme song?... and tradition?... and nicer hooligans?... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5BystnkpjA Now, all we need's an owner....... I think the US as a whole has obviously made the choice that soccer is just way too violent, too prone to serious injury and breeds hooliganism as a natural by-product in the fans. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of fans literally going insane and causing massive damage to facilities and people for decades....over a game. We do get a little bit of that over football - ignorant drunks mostly - but nowhere near the scale of the international soccer cartel. But the promoters of this violent activity have taken the tack of starting kids very early in the schools - as young as 3 or 4 year old! Trying to advocate and create an institutional culture of violence... I think that's what Karl Marx said - inundate them with the propaganda from children to get the desired results. And in addition - this, as well as other recent events just like it, certainly begs the question as to why subways haven't been outlawed... and not just the sandwich!! http://news.yahoo.com/police-man-threw-woman-subway-tracks-philly-121028009.html |
