Gun Control - Waterloo for Democrats?

Much has been said and debated since the senseless tragedy of the killing of 26 innocent lives, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.  Most of it borders on hysterics, some of it downright frightening.  Both sides, Left and Right, need to calm down.  You have the Left saying the President of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and all its members should be shot.  Think of the irony of that statement for a moment.  A segment of the population that wants gun control (or just outright abolition thereof) is wanting to use guns to kill people who disagree with them.  The intolerant, bigoted, violent Left never, ever ceases to amaze or entertain.  I doubt they even recognize the irony in their statements of violence.  To make matters worse, you have people like Senator Dianne Feinstein who is once again trying to get passage on a bill that makes gun owners get background checks, finger prints and just basically makes them criminals.  What her bill is all about is to frustrate people into giving up their guns to the federal government.  Democrats are taking an enormous political risk by pushing for gun control.  I'm certain Democrats remember what happened the last time they pushed for gun control.

The last time Democrats went all out on gun control was in the middle of Bill Clinton's first term as President.  Their losses were monumental in the mid-term 1994 elections.  It was the first time that a Speaker of the House, Tom Foley, had lost reelection since the Civil War.  It was the first time since 1954 that Democrats did not control the House.  In other words, the Democrats of today are expending major political capital in their attempt to appeal or invalidate the Second Amendment.  Now, some will, once again, hysterically point out this has nothing to do with politics.  "This is all about protecting our children".  Bullshit.  I hate to say this, but Liberals don't give a damn about those children that were murdered.  This is ALL about politics to them.  Anything goes in pushing their political agenda.  As soon as the 2011 Tucson Shootings took place, Liberals immediately tried to put the blame on Conservative Tea Party members.  The bodies were still warm when they took to the airwaves and blogs to cast blame.  There was little sympathy for the six people that died and the other twelve that were wounded, including Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.  So, color me skeptical of Liberal outrage over these children.  It's all about politics to them and always will be.

Regardless of what happens to gun control in Congress, Democrats are taking a big gamble and they know it.  Democrats have been on the upswing since 2008, with the exception of 2010, and were very successful in 2012.  As stated, I'm not buying their excuse that they want to protect people from guns.  A crazy person is going to get a gun, someway, somehow.  This is about power, absolute power for the federal government.  It is not about gun control.  Democrats see this as an opportunity to press their dream of unlimited power and putting even more government into the lives of every American.

Politicizing Sandy Hook

Like everyone else, I was simply devastated and greatly saddened by the insanity of one deranged individual who killed 20 children and 6 adults.  There is no way to explain how someone could kill another human being.  But, added to that, how can you kill the most innocent of human beings; 5 and 6 year old children?  How can you hurt kindergarteners?  They were so innocent and were just looking forward to recess. Instead, a scumbag came to school and snuffed out their little lives for no reason, no reason at all.  My heart goes out to the families of the victims.  Nothing can be said to sooth their grief.  There are no words in the English language to comfort someone who loses a child.  Jodi Picoult once said,
"In the English language there are orphans and widows. But, there is no word for the parents who loses a child." That's true.  There are simply no words to convey the loss and sadness of a parent losing a child.  What is almost as sad is that there are people in this country who will politicize a tragedy, such as occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newton, CT, to further their own agenda.  

The little bodies of the school children at Sandy Hook were probably still in the elementary school while Mayor Michael Bloomberg, of New York City, came out calling for "immediate action"  against the proliferation of guns in America (but, the good mayor declines "immediate action" against his armed guards).  Before the first funerals took place, Senator Dianne Feinstein said she will again introduce a bill to ban assault weapons in this country.  I very much want to say President Obama was not politicizing this unimaginable tragedy.  I'm trying to believe he is not.  But, based on his past rhetoric of similar tragedies, I tend to think he is pushing his agenda at the expense of the murders of 26 innocent people, including 20 innocent children.  To begin with, Obama's statement of  "We can’t tolerate this anymore" was a warning shot across the bow to gun advocate groups such as the NRA.  It was a cheap shot in order to blame gun advocates for the insanity of one deranged individual.  President Obama went on to say, "whatever power this office holds" in a quest to prevent future mass shootings."  He is going to try to twist Congressmen in both parties to come around to gun control and strict gun control this time.  Gun control or the absolute abolition of guns is the a Leftist wet dream that has been tried for decades.  They are absolutely jumping with joy at "never letting a good crisis go to waste."  They are disgusting.

What I ask the Leftists, how do you stop a crazy from getting guns?  You can outlaw guns tomorrow and the  Adam Lanzas, Dylan Klebolds, and Eric Harrises of the world will STILL find a way to get a gun.  You can melt down every gun tomorrow, and the above type individuals will STILL find a way to carry out their insanity by way of a bomb or some other weapon.  You can't unring a bell, ladies and gentlemen.  You can't go back to a time when there were no guns in the USA.  Oh, but they did that in Great Britain, you say?  Really?  You think the criminal element in Great Britain do not have guns?  If they don't, they have knives.   In China, a man stabbed 22 school children.  You say, but they didn't die.  That is truly the case.  But, they could have died.  This man had a weapon, if used correctly, could have killed at least half those school children in China.  One last point to the orgasmic Lefties who are politicizing this tragedy;  you say the 2nd Amendment was written during a time of militias and muskets.  You say the 2nd Amendment is outdated now.  Ok, using this same analogy, should we also appeal or amend the 1st Amendment since it was written with feather pens and parchment paper?  Of course not, that is ridiculous.  But, your argument to repeal or abrogate the 2nd Amendment is equally ridiculous. Basically, unarming citizens makes them sitting ducks for the crazies of the world such as Adam Lanza.  If one teacher, just ONE, had a gun last Friday, the carnage may not have been so bad.  One dead child is too many.  But twenty?  One gun could have stopped Lanza in his tracks.  Pity that Liberals are too stupid to understand that.
