On the one hand, I am heartened by this..

On the other, I remember that similar Death Knells were done for ObamaCare....

So, time will tell, I spose...

Terrorism strikes again....

In other words, you are acting exactly like the Left accuses the GOP of acting.. IE You're afraid to even DEBATE the subject...

What a delicious piece of irony, eh? :D

Why are the vast majority of the Sandy Hook parents singling out the gun issue of this massacre and completely ignoring the mental health aspect which is even MORE relevant to the discussion than guns???

Answer??

Because they are being coached by the Hysterical (and not so Hysterical) Left to further the Leftist anti-gun agenda..

Which is why I don't feel much compassion for these Democrat pawns as would have..

There is a reason why our system of government has a slow, thoughtful legislative process.

It's so that things don't get decided in the grip of rampant emotionalism..

With VERY few exceptions, any position taken based on emotionalism is the WRONG position to take...

How come I don't see you over there condemning those who are attacking a Sandy Hook parent for his pro-gun stance... Hmmmmm????

Isn't it funny how you claim it's "pathetic" and "low" to question a grieving parent's political agenda, when it's an agenda you agree with...

But when the Left makes vicious personal attacks on a grieving parent advocating a position you disagree with...???

You are silent...

Funny how that is, eh? :^/

It will force states to honor CCWs from other states.. That is definitely a plus for gun rights..

My only beef about this legislation is that it is strictly cosmetic and doesn't address ANY real gun problems.

And the fact it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the massacre that prompted it...

Michale

And, of course, you ignore and condemn the parents who lost their sons and daughters and are advocating for GUN RIGHTS, right??

You are so politically transparent, it's pitiful...

But, you are correct. It IS pathetic..

It's pathetic that parents would use their murdered children to push an agenda that has PROVEN to be 100% counter-productive to the stated goal..

Gun control is not about guns, it's about control. Controlling other people's lives and infringing on their rights and personal freedoms..

Say a parent had a child killed by a person high on pot. That parent lobbied to have pot made a Class A felony and lobbied to have it's use be banned all over the country with very harsh penalties put in place for violations..

Ya'all couldn't fall over yourselves fast enough to condemn the actions of THAT grieving parent.

Don't bother denying it. You know it's true and I know it's true..

I can utterly and completely decimate your argument against guns with ONE single statement.

Whenever a person gets attacked by a person with a gun, they call ANOTHER person with a gun to help them.

That proves, beyond ANY doubt, that guns are not the problem.

I can't even be bothered debating such utter drivel.

Of course, you can't. I have utterly destroyed any argument you have made for Gun Control...

THAT is why you can't debate.. Because you lose, each and every time..

Michale

The fact that they are pushing this agenda in spite of that fact indicates to me that they do not deserve ANY consideration at all...

This is pathetic Michale. I can't even be bothered debating such utter drivel. I shouldn't have even bothered responding but to denounce parents who lost their sons and daughters to gun violence and are now advocating for gun control is pathetic and low.

It's amazing what passes for integrity these days.. :^/

I realize that this is going to make me even LESS popular around here (if that's possible :^/) but, frankly.... No, they don't...

They gave up that consideration when they used their children's brutal murder in a crass and pathetic political manner to further an agenda that infringes on innocent Americans' freedoms...

The agenda they are pushing, had it been in place prior to the massacre, would have not made ONE IOTA of difference...

No difference at all...

The fact that they are pushing this agenda in spite of that fact indicates to me that they do not deserve ANY consideration at all...

Rip away....

I'm just sayin'.... :D

Michale

So, it's safe to assume that ya'all would condemn death threats from the Left made against NRA officials and others of the Right persuasion?? :D

Re. footnote 14 on page 5

This is very, VERY exciting!

That was my first thought. Second thought ... what took them so long!?

Brookings is one of my favourite think tanks and they have once again demonstrated their wisdom in following your extremely cogent analyses and in crediting your excellent work.

This is really beyond exciting!
