CNN Town Hall: Gun Control Debate!

The president sits with Anderson Cooper in a CNN Town Hall about Guns in America.

President Barack Obama does a town hall on CNN with Anderson Cooper. He goes into the hot button topic of gun control.

Some issues will be mentioned. Some will be missed. I'm not perfect but I am willing to give you the most I've gotten from it.

The most notable things mentioned in the town hall.

First thing, the president addresses the mass shootings of last year and Chicago. Obama said that even though Illinois has some of the strictest background and gun control measures, some travel to state that have easier access to obtain firearms. He named Indiana as one of the reasons for illegal guns on the streets of Chicago.

The National Rifle Association declines the offer to attend the CNN town hall. President Barack Obama chided the organization for ignoring his request for invite to the White House.

Obama takes a question from a rape victim from Colorado. The victim says that she believes in having firearms. Kimberly Weeks-Corban is a supporter of guns. She admits to being raped and feels that it's a need for firearms.

Obama took a question from Talia Kyle, the widow of slain activist Chris Kyle about gun ownership.

Obama address Chicago. He reminds the town hall about the illegal transport of firearms into Chicago. He talks about the death of Hadyia Pendleton. Her mother Chloe was in the audience. She spoke to the president on the rise of violence in her community. Hadiya was killed two weeks after she performed at the inauguration of the president in 2013. He also brings up Zaevion Dobson.

Paul Babeu, the controversial Pinal County, Arizona sheriff asks the president a question.

Chicago Catholic pastor Michael Pfleger had an opportunity to ask the president a question.

Mark Kelly, the husband of former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords asks the president a question.

Anderson Cooper did get the president riled up when he was asked about the nonsense being spread around by the conservative websites. The president took a shot at Infowars and The Drudge Report.

I  want you to know that it was lively. I wish it would have went a bit longer. I kind of wished to hear from gun shooting survivors. It's unfortunate that even this town hall won't sway the ignorant nonsense being spread by Republicans, conservative agitators and the NRA.

Conservative Outrage Over Obama's Executive Orders On Gun Control!

Time to act.

First conservative outrage of the year. Matter of fact, this kicks off the 2016 year where Whites and Republicans are certainly riled up over the latest events in the junk food media. This issue will certainly drive them to the gun stores and stockpile. Matter of fact, the gun shops are seeing a huge bump in the sales.

President Barack Obama just finished up his presser for his immediate executive actions on gun control. He stressed that Congress is too inept in handling this crisis despite having numerous mass shootings in 2015.

He cited Aurora, Oak Leaf, Wisconsin, Umpqua Community College, Newtown, Tucson, Charleston, San Bernardino, Fort Hood, the Navy Yard in Washington, DC, the Ronoake shooting, and violence in Chicago.

He said that enough is enough.

"Every time I think about those [Sandy Hook victims], it gets me mad," Obama said in the East Room of the White House.

At times, the President has questioned the nation he leads, asking why no other advanced country seems so blighted with regular killing sprees and wondering aloud why Americans will not choose to stop the bloodshed.

Evolving through a cycle of sadness, poleaxing grief, frustration and outright fury, Obama has even offered hints of self-recrimination at his own earlier failure to touch the perfidious politics of gun control himself.

Expect this outrage to carry all the way to the elections.

At the White House, he unveiled a series of executive actions on guns, including expanding mandatory background checks for some private sales.

"We are not inherently more prone to violence. But we are the only advanced country on Earth that sees this kind of mass violence erupt with this kind of frequency. It doesn't happen in other advanced countries. It's not even close," Obama said. "Somehow we become numb to it and we start to feel that this is normal. And instead of thinking about how to solve the problem, this has become one of our most polarized, partisan debates, despite the fact that there's a general consensus in America about what needs to be done."

He added, "We do have to feel a sense of urgency about it. In Dr. King's words, we need to feel the fierce urgency of now -- because people are dying."

Of course, conservatives are outrage. The presidential candidates for the Republican nomination are upset and the NRA is using this as a rally call.

The same shit that fuels more extremism.

While I am certainly glad the president went all out on these proposals, the damage is done. This country is too polarized to get things done.

David Gregory Resigns From Meet The Press!

David Gregory got the ax. Chuck Todd got one year to turn Meet The Press around or he'll be joining Gregory.

NBC executives want to keep the nation's longest running Sunday news program in the top. So in order to do so, they gave the host the ax. David Gregory, the host since 2008 is stepping aside.

GOP Sundays won't be the same without him. Although I won't miss him too much, his future from the network will be better. He can emerge on another network. Say if it was Loserville or CNN.

Who knows?

I leave NBC as I came - humbled and grateful. I love journalism and serving as moderator of MTP was the highest honor there is . (1 of 2)
— David Gregory (@davidgregory) August 14, 2014

(2 of 2) I have great respect for my colleagues at NBC News and wish them all well. To the viewers, I say thank you.
— David Gregory (@davidgregory) August 14, 2014

Gregory who was then the Washington bureau chief got the gig after Tim Russert passed away in 2008.

Gregory got the most press coverage during the 2012 Sandy Hook tragedy, when that lunatic Wayne LaPierre was bitching about how guns could have save those 26 innocent people when that extremist killed them with an assault rifle.

Gregory brought a firearm magazine. He did violate a minor law in which it restricted him from bringing in a loaded weapon into the city of Washington, DC.

Chuck Todd will likely take the spot. We'll see if he has the guts!

CBS has gained grown with Face The Nation. Bob Schieffer is getting some of his best ratings ever on GOP Sundays.

Under Gregory's tenure as moderator, Meet the Press has significantly decline in ratings since 2008. In the final three months of 2013, the program came in third place for total viewers behind CBS's Face The Nation and ABC's This Week for the first time since 1992 and experienced the lowest ratings in the show's entire history among the key 25 to 54 viewing demographic.

James Brady Passes Away!

James Brady passed away.

An advocate for gun control and nemesis of the National Rifle Association passed away. The family confirmed that former press secretary under Ronald Reagan, James Brady (aka The Bear) died.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of James Brady.

"We are heartbroken to share the news that our beloved Jim 'Bear' Brady has passed away after a series of health issues," the statement said. "His wife, Sarah, son, Scott, and daughter, Missy, are so thankful to have had the opportunity to say their farewells."

Brady served as press secretary under President Ronald Reagan. In an assassination attempt on Reagan in 1981, Brady was shot and left permanently disabled.

Ronald Reagan and James Brady the moment John Hinkley 

James Brady and his wife Sarah, founded the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence--formerly known as Handgun Control, Inc., co-founded by N.T. "Pete" Shields--Brady subsequently lobbied for stricter handgun control and assault weapon restrictions. The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, also known as "the Brady Bill", was named in his honor.

Brady received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from McKendree College, Lebanon, Illinois, in 1982. Sarah and James Brady were each awarded a doctorate degree (of Humane Letters) by Drexel University in 1993. In 1994, James and Sarah received the S. Roger Horchow Award for Greatest Public Service by a Private Citizen, an award given out annually by Jefferson Awards.

In 1996, Brady received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Bill Clinton, the highest civilian award in the United States.

The Press Briefing Room at the White House was renamed after Brady as the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room in his honor in 2000.



Jim touched the lives of so many and has been a wonderful husband, father, friend and role model. We are enormously proud of Jim's remarkable accomplishments -- before he was shot on the fateful day in 1981 while serving at the side of President Ronald Reagan and in the days, months and years that followed. Jim Brady's zest for life was apparent to all who knew him, and despite his injuries and the pain he endured every day, he used his humor, wit and charm to bring smiles to others and make the world a better place.

Over the years, Jim inspired so many people as he turned adversity into accomplishment. Whether working to prevent others from becoming victims of gun violence, mentoring his Sigma Chi brothers, or working to improve the lives of Americans with disabilities, Jim used his many talents and can-do attitude to make a difference in the lives of others. We believe with all our hearts that he did.

While we mourn the loss of our Bear, we take comfort in the time we had with him and the marked impact he had on us and so many other lives. He will forever live on in our memories and in the powerful example he set for all of us.

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama issued a statement:

Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to the family of former White House Press Secretary James Brady on his passing. Jim is a legend at the White House for his warmth and professionalism as press secretary for President Reagan; for the strength he brought to bear in recovering from the shooting that nearly killed him 33 years ago; and for turning the events of that terrible afternoon into a remarkable legacy of service through the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. Since 1993, the law that bears Jim’s name has kept guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals. An untold number of people are alive today who otherwise wouldn’t be, thanks to Jim

Every day, reporters and White House staffers walk past a plaque marking the day in 2000 that the White House Briefing Room was renamed the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room. It reads, “May his courage and dedication continue to inspire all who work in this room and beyond.” Those words will endure, as will his legacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim’s wife Sarah, who has been Jim’s steadfast partner in advocacy, and their children Scott and Melissa.

CNN May Ax Piers Morgan!

CNN is planning on bumping Piers Morgan off the primetime slot.

The struggling cable news network is getting ready to put its hammer on British tabloid journalist Piers Morgan.

After three years on air, CNN is getting rid of Piers Morgan Tonight tells David Carr of the New York Times.

Morgan took over Larry King's 9PM timeslot in 2011. Morgan's ratings were consistently low.

CNN sources confirmed the news to Politico.

As Carr points out, Morgan's contract is up in September. There's no word on whether he'll get another show or not.

“It’s been a painful period and lately we have taken a bath in the ratings,” Morgan told Carr. "I am a British guy debating American cultural issues, including guns, which has been very polarizing, and there is no doubt that there are many in the audience who are tired of me banging on about it."

The most memorable moments of Piers Morgan is the debate between extremist Alex Jones and him over the Sandy Hook shooting tragedy. Jones wanted Morgan deported for his stance on gun control.

Morgan also had Rachel Jeantel on his program before and after the verdict in the controversial George Zimmerman trial. The racist right was attacking Jeantel for being a big Black woman who had that "attitude".

The Evil Speaks!

The Sandy Hook shooter called a radio show. Proof he was a right wing nut job!

The Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza was a paranoid freak. He was so disturbed.

Mediaite reports and the New York Daily News unearths an eerily phone caller to a radio program. The caller was Lanza and he made a concern to a kookspiracy program "Anarchy Radio".

The call was to the show “Anarchy Radio,” hosted John Zerzan in Eugene, in December of 2011, one year before Lanza opened fire in a Sandy Hook elementary school. During the call Lanza described “Travis,” a domesticated chimp who attacked a woman in Connecticut in 2009, nearly killing her. Lanza said that the act of civilizing Travis had made him “sick,” and that his unexpected assault was comparable to human outbursts, like mall shootings.

“His attack can be seen entirely parallel to the attacks and random acts of violence that you bring up on your show every week, committed by humans, which the mainstream also has no explanation for,” Landa said. “I just don’t think it would be such a stretch to say that he very well could have been a teenage mall shooter or something like that.”

Lanza took pains to distort his voice, speaking robotically at times, but the Daily News said it received confirmation from Lanza’s classmates that the disguised voice is his. Authorities involved with the investigation into the Newtown shootings confirmed that Lanza had called a radio show, but did not confirm whether it is Landa’s voice on the recording.

AK 47 Creator Passes Away!

I wanted to make things for the good of people. It's not my fault that you use this stuff to kill people!

If you're popping off a round from the AK 47, you probably showing your condolences to the founder of the powerful firearm.

Mikhail Kalashnikov, a former Soviet Union inventor created the popular firearm died this week.

He died at the age of 94.

A former tank commander for the Soviet Union’s Red Army, Kalashnikov began designing rifles after an injury in World War II sent him to the hospital and soon earned the nation’s highest honors for designing mass-produced, highly efficient guns.

His most famous assault rifle design was the AK 47, one of the most famous assault rifles in the history of ever (and is so iconic that it is actually on the flag of Mozambique). According to the Kalashnikov family, over 100 million AK 47s have ever been produced, many of them illegal copies of the original, and have been used in practically every major conflict in the past sixty-five years.

I wonder if the racist right didn't know they're Communists?

After all they're so scared over Communism. They're calling the first Black president a "gun grabbing Communist" because he believes those type of weapons were used in multiple mass shootings over the past fifteen years.

Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, Aurora and Tucson were examples of the AK 47 and AR 15 being used in mass shootings. But that's okay, as long as we continue to use them, our friend Mikhail Kalashnikov is the one guy who you thank for the stubborn gridlock by Republicans.

When he was on Loserville in 2007, he told the interviewer

The world's most popular firearm is the AK 47.

“I sleep well. It’s the politicians who are to blame for failing to come to an agreement and resorting to violence,” Kalashnikov said Friday at a ceremony marking the birth of the rifle, whose initials stand for “Avtomat Kalashnikov”…

“Blame the Nazi Germans for making me become a gun designer,” said Kalashnikov, frail but sharp at age 87. “I always wanted to construct agriculture machinery.”

You can sleep well knowing that so many innocent people who aren't causalities of war were victims of your invention. Hey, that's what counting money feels like. It's like counting bullets.

Sandy Hook: One Year Later!

Sandy Hook will never be forgotten.

It was just a lazy day until I heard on the news that a tragedy happened in Newtown, Connecticut. I heard about a school shooting. I shook my head and thought to myself that we just lived through Aurora Movie Theater shooting and Wisconsin Sikh Temple shootings.

We just got through the horrible tragedy of Tucson, where a mentally deranged man shot Gabrielle Giffords, the former Democratic lawmaker from Arizona. She is permanently brain damaged.

Christopher Dorner's rampage in Los Angeles, the Boston Marathon bombings, and the DC Navy Shooter were considered 2013's most horrible tragedies. Each individual involved were mass shooters and they had no concern for the lives they've taken during their rampage.

There were school shootings in Orlando, Pittsburgh, Toledo, Los Angeles and Chicago. These didn't make the national wires as much. But of course they're in urban areas. That's just rancor for the racist right to claim that public schools are a disease of Democrats and liberalism. They could careless of the young lives ruined by gun crimes.

But in suburban America, it's the talk of the nation. People will rush to the internet with outpouring of sympathy for those lost in these tragedies. I mean honestly, I was online with RIP to those little children and those teachers who died trying to protect them.

I mean I was kind of tearing up when I seen CBS News host Norah O'Donnell openly talk about her young children and how she could relate to the families of those lost. The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school was President Barack Obama's moment of sorrow. He even felt that one as a parent.

I hate to be the parent that hears that their little children weren't coming home.

President Barack Obama even shed a tear for those little children. He was really pissed that day.

That was the news of the week and carried into the next week. 11 days before Christmas and we hear about a mass shooting at a school. The junk food media really screwed up on the situation. I mean we all had a reactionary panic. It was like one minute I thinking it two shooters. Then the media said it was one shooter. One minute I hear that the mother of the shooter was a teacher. Then I hear that the mother wasn't a teacher but a Republican who had a fixation with guns. I hear that shooter was a guy from New Jersey. But it turned out that the guy was actually the brother. The shooter was mentally challenged with Asperger syndrome and a fixation with violent video games. I hear stories about how it was Ryan Lanza being the shooter. Nope it was his brother Adam and he didn't leave the school. He ended up putting the gun to his head and let the trigger pop.

Adam Lanza was a manchild with so much anger. He would be the lone gunman in America's worst school shooting.

I hear so much misinformation, I got really pissed at the media. I felt the media done America a disservice by following the Loserville structure. They try so hard not to be perceived as "liberal", they actually make horrible mistakes in covering the news.

I mean Sandy Hook was considered one worst school shootings in American history. It ranks right up there with Columbine, Virginia Tech, University of Texas and Bath.

No one could imagine a deranged man like Adam Lanza would snap and end up killing innocent kids.

On December 14, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot twenty children and six adult staff members in a mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the village of Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut.

Before driving to the school, Lanza shot and killed his mother Nancy at their Newtown home.

As first responders arrived, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.

It was the second deadliest mass shooting by a single person in American history, after the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, and the second deadliest mass murder at a U.S. elementary school, after the 1927 Bath School bombings in Michigan.

The incident prompted renewed debate about gun control in the United States, and a proposal for new legislation banning the sale and manufacture of certain types of semi-automatic firearms and magazines with more than ten rounds of ammunition.

A November 2013 report issued by the Connecticut State Attorney's office concluded that the perpetrator acted alone and planned his actions, but no evidence collected provided any indication as to why he did so, or why he targeted Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) tried to pass a gun control law. They were both considered pro-gun and pro-business lawmakers. Even their impact didn't move the needle on a stubborn Republican House and a filibuster prone Senate.

I heard about a mass shooting in Colorado. On Friday, at Arapahoe High School in Centennial was the scene of a shooting.

The Huffington Post reports that one student was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, according to KDVR. The second student suffered a minor gunshot wound.

At a 1:45 p.m. press conference, County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said the suspect, who was a student, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities “found his body in the internal portion of the school in a classroom,” Robinson said at a 3:00 press conference. The shooter is believed to have acted alone.

The shooter "targeted a specific teacher that he was interested in confronting," according to Robinson.

The student entered the high school carrying a shotgun Friday afternoon and asked for the teacher by name. When that teacher found out the armed student was asking for him, he left the school immediately. The teacher was not injured.

At a 6 p.m. MST press conference, the Arapahoe County Sheriff reported that one student has been released from the hospital, while a 15-year-old female student who also suffered a gunshot wound remains in critical condition. No students were injured in the evacuation, the sheriff said, though 3 suffered what he would call "anxiety attacks."

According to the Arapahoe Co. Sheriff, the identity of the shooter was known, but not to be released at the time.

Authorities recovered two devices from the scene, one thought to be a Molotov cocktail which had been detonated when recovered. The other device was rendered harmless, the sheriff said. Though it was unconfirmed at the time, the sheriff suggested that the shooting stemmed from a disagreement between the shooter and a teacher.

"It's a very difficult day for Littleton schools and Arapahoe High School," Scott Murphy, district superintendent, told the press.

We here at Journal de la Reyna continue to shine a light on those who were lost in the horrible tragedy at Sandy Hook. You are not forgotten.

Tragedy In Washington, DC!

The DC Shipyard (or known as the Navy Yard) is within two miles of the U.S. Capitol. There's a breaking news event happening. There's a report of a shooting at the Yard.

Reports of a mass shooting once again sparks the feverish pitch for gun control. This time it happens in the lawmakers' backyard. The last mass shooting events were the Boston Marathon bombing, the Christopher Donner situation, the Newtown's Sandy Hook school shooting, and Aurora movie theater shooting.

There's a mass shooting at the Navy Yard and it's a report (not confirmed) that four people are dead and their are looking for the shooter.

Like the last time we've covered an event we've jumped to conclusions about who the individual was.

The mistake of jumping to conclusion is solely relied on the agitators. What CNN and the Associated Press is reporting that their are fatalities (confirmed). As far as they know it's ten people (not confirmed).

The Washington, DC police have responded immediately to the event. They have the possibility of more than one gunman (not confirmed).

When the DC police got to the investigation there were scenes of a mass causality event.

President Barack Obama, DC Mayor Vincent Gray and lawmakers were informed about the event.

The cable news networks are covering it. And it's not on the local news yet. But if they go live, it's a mass fatality event and it's another one for the record books.

Every mass shooting in America sparks the push for reasonable gun control. The National Rifle Association located in nearby Fairfax, Virginia has been lobbying members of Congress to stop legislation that restrict the usage of firearms.

They've deem President Barack Obama an enemy of the "Second Amendment".

They tuck their tails between their legs whenever a mass shooting comes forth. And these events, will even affect reasonable gun rights advocates. Some may look at this as a way to push for restrictions to have high powered firearms and undisputed variable magazine clips.

 Anymore information will come from CNN, the Associated Press and Wikipedia.

We here at Journal de la Reyna will not assume who the shooter is! All we need to know is that an event happened and we're going to cover it as best as we can.

Wikipedia details the events. On September 16, 2013, a shooting took place at the yard at around 8:20 a.m EDT. Shots were fired at the headquarters for the Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters building #197. A search for the shooter(s) is ongoing.

At least 10 people, including 8 civilians, 1 law enforcement officer and one military officer, were shot. Four of which were fatalities according to the United States Navy and Metro Police officials.

The United States Navy continued to tweet throughout the ordeal, revealing that a shelter in place order had been instructed after the initial shots were fired.

Multiple schools have been locked down, and many roadways and bridges have been closed.

The Associated Press reports a confirmation of death. At least 14 people, including at least 12 civilians, 1 D.C. police officer and one base officer, were shot. Seven fatalities have been reported.

At least 3 victims, a male police officer and two female civilians, were in critical condition and are being treated at Georgetown University Hospital.

At least one gunman opened fire inside a building at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday morning, and officials said six people were killed and at least four were wounded, including a law enforcement officer.

Police were looking for two other potential gunmen wearing military-style uniforms, including one who had on a beret, chief Cathy Lanier said.

Authorities have identified the dead shooter as a Navy employee whose work status had been changed earlier this year, said a federal government official who spoke only on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak on the record. While that may suggest the motive was job related, authorities haven't ruled out anything including terrorism, the official said. Lanier said she didn't think the other gunmen were part of the military.

Witnesses described a gunman opening fire from the fourth floor, aiming down on people in the first-floor cafeteria. Others said a gunman fired at them in a third-floor hallway. It wasn't clear whether the witnesses on different floors were describing the same gunman.

As emergency vehicles flooded the streets around the complex, a helicopter hovered overhead, nearby schools were on lockdown and airplanes at nearby Reagan National Airport were briefly grounded so they wouldn't interfere with law enforcement choppers. Less than 2 miles away, security was beefed up at the U.S. Capitol and other federal buildings, but officials said there was no known threat.

President Barack Obama mourned what he called "yet another mass shooting" in the U.S. that he says took the life of American patriots. Obama promised to make sure "whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible."

Two Navy officials confirmed at least six people had died. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the situation publicly.

About 3,000 people work at the Naval Sea Systems Command headquarters, which builds, buys and maintains the Navy's ships and submarines and combat systems.

Todd Brundidge, an executive assistant with Navy Sea Systems Command, said he and other co-workers encountered a gunman in a long hallway of their building on the third floor. The gunman was wearing all blue, he said.

"He just turned and started firing," Brundidge said.

Terrie Durham, an executive assistant with the same agency, said she also saw the gunman firing toward her and Brundidge.

"He aimed high and missed," she said. "He said nothing. As soon as I realized he was shooting, we just said, 'Get out of the building.'"

Rick Mason, a program management analyst who is a civilian with the U.S. Navy, said a gunman was shooting from a fourth floor overlook in the hallway outside his office. He said the gunman was aiming down at people in the building's cafeteria.

Shortly after the gunfire, Mason said someone on an overhead speaker told workers to seek shelter and later to head for the gates at the complex.

Patricia Ward, a logistics management specialist, said she was in the cafeteria getting breakfast.

"It was three gunshots straight in a row — pop, pop, pop. Three seconds later, it was pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, so it was like about a total of seven gunshots, and we just started running," Ward told reporters several blocks away from the Navy Yard.

Ward said security officers started directing people out of the building with guns drawn.

Police and federal agents from multiple law enforcement agencies responded. Ambulances were parked outside, streets in the area were closed and departures from Reagan National Airport were temporarily halted for security reasons.

Janis Orlowski, chief operating officer of Washington Hospital Center, told reporters the hospital was treating three gunshot victims in critical condition. One was Washington, D.C., metropolitan police officer and two were civilian women.

Orlowski said the police officer was in the operating room with gunshot wounds to the legs. A woman had a gunshot wound to the shoulder and the other had gunshot wounds to the head and hand.

District of Columbia schools officials said 12 public and charter schools and one administrative building in the vicinity of the Navy Yard were placed on lockdown. The action was taken out an abundance of caution, schools spokeswoman Melissa Salmanowitz said.

The Homeland Security Department said security was stepped up at federal buildings in Washington as a precaution in the wake of the shooting.

Naval Sea Systems Command is the largest of the Navy's five system commands and accounts for a quarter of the Navy's entire budget. Only security personnel were allowed to be armed on the campus.

The Navy Yard has three gates, according to its website. One is open 24/7, and must be used by visitors. A second gate is only for military and civilian Defense Department employees and the other is for bus traffic.

The Navy Yard is part of a fast-growing neighborhood on the banks of the Anacostia River in southeast Washington, just blocks from Nationals Park.

THE SUSPECT IS BELIEVED TO BE A BLACK MAN WITH A CLEAN SHAVEN BALD HEAD.

IDENTIFIED AS AARON ALEXIS. HE WAS KILLED IN FIREFIGHT WITH THE LAW. HE IS THE LONE GUNMAN.

CONFIRMED THAT 12 PEOPLE ARE DEAD. THE SHOOTER IS CONFIRMED KILLED.

THERE WILL BE MORE DETAILS TO EMERGE AS THIS EVENT UNFOLDS!

DC POLICE SAY TERRORISM ISN'T RULED OUT!

I Got Shot By "The Blacks!"

Depiction of a suspect in a hoodie. Not the guy who shot a man while on his bicycle. 

The Raw Story reports that a Connecticut man was shot. Guess who the suspect was? If you're thinking it's one of "Obama's sons", you're wrong!

The suspect is the guy who shot himself. He tried to blame a gang of people in black hoodies.

Gun crimes continue in America.

The Connecticut Post reports that this man tried to blame "those guys" for his self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Turns out a local man, who claimed he was the victim of a shooting by a Bridgeport gang, actually made poor choice of having a loaded gun in his waistband while out bicycling.

But Wendell Docteur's poor choice has turned out to be a prescription for jail time.

On Thursday, the 22-year-old Docteur, of Hollister Street, was charged with making a false statement, unlawful discharge of a firearm and failure to report a lost firearm.

Docteur, who later posted a $10,000 bond, didn't return calls for comment. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Superior Court on Sept. 5.

On May 3, police were notified by Bridgeport Hospital staff that they were treating Docteur for a gunshot wound to the right leg.

Police said Docteur told them he had been out riding his bicycle on California Street when he was confronted by a half dozen men, dressed all in black with hooded sweatshirts covering their faces.

He said the men demanded his money and then shot him. As they fled they yelled, "North End, North End," which Docteur told police he took to mean they were a gang from the North End of Bridgeport.

But police said Docteur's story just didn't smell right.

Despite insisting he was shot at, police said they could only find a bullet exit hole from his pants.

When they confronted Docteur with this discrepancy, they said he admitted he had accidentally shot himself while riding.

Although Docteur has a pistol permit, police said he couldn't account for the handgun he had shot himself with.

The state is still coping over the incident in December 2012. Sandy Hook is the third worst mass shooting in the history of the United States.

Twenty-six lives were lost on December 14, 2012 after a mentally disturbed man named Adam Lanza forced his way through the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

The state's governor Dan Malloy signed a gun control law this year in response to this tragedy. The president is trying to encourage Congress to pass reasonable gun control laws. Unfortunately, they're scared of the outcome of the conservative agitators and the National Rifle Association.

Will it take another Trayvon Martin, another Chris Lane, another Gabby Giffords, or a Sandy Hook to drive lawmakers to passing gun control laws?

Antoinette Tuff Stops Madman From A School Massacre!

School worker talks man from committing a mass shooting.

Ms. Antoinette Tuff, you deserve the praise. You adverted a tragedy. I wish there would be more like you in the world.

It's unfortunate that many in the conservative agitating media ignore this heroic story of a woman stopping a deranged man from attacking her school. School was in session and this mad man Michael Brandon Hill "off his meds" enters his McLair Discovery Academy in Decatur, Georgia with a high powered assault weapon.

He opens fire upon the DeKalb County police officers and threatens to take everyone out.

He would have killed people and himself if he didn't have the calm voice of reason in his head.

Antoinette Tuff, a school employee calmly talked Hill by asserting that his life is valued. While on the phone with a 911 dispatcher, Tuff calmly tells the young man that she was in the midst of a divorce and thought suicide was the only way out. She told him that his life was valued and she loves him (even if the world doesn't love him).

Hill heard the words and agreed to end the stand off. He peacefully surrendered to the police.

The outcome of a mass school shooting was adverted.

The conservative agitators were not concerned about the fact the man was "mentally disturbed" and obtained a firearm. They're not concerned about the woman who saved the day. Well she's Black.

Michael Brandon Hill was a ticking time bomb describes family members. This goes back to the issue of mentally disturbed and firearms.

They're concerned only about two White men who were killed at the hands of Black teens. And of course, the president. Yeah, the president called Ms. Tuff and praised her for her courage in the middle of an interview.

CNN's Anderson Cooper got the first interview with Ms. Tuff. He even got the opportunity to reunite her with the 911 dispatcher who was so proud of her.

Will the conservative agitators praise this woman for using her mouth instead of a AR 15?

One Year Later, We Remember Aurora!

The faces of victims in the horrible shooting at an Aurora movie theater.

Update: Two survivors are planning on getting married on the day of the American shooting to show that the madman who shot them can't stop their love and they thank those who kept them in their prayers.

Kristin Davis and Eugene Han will marry on the day after the shooting rampage.

Of course we here at Journal de la Reyna wish Mr. and Mrs. Han well wishes on their journey. They deserve happiness in the face of a horrible tragedy.

On Friday July 20, 2012, a madman went into a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. The premiere of DC Comics The Dark Knight Rises was the highly anticipated Summer blockbuster.

The movie was going to generate nearly $1 billion in sales revenue. That Thursday was the night that hundreds of fans would camp out at their local movie theaters to see the premiere.

They had lines of people and tickets for midnight showings were sold out.

That Century 16 in Aurora was the scene of the one of the worst mass shootings in American history.

James Holmes, a young man suffering from chronic schizophrenia and constant rejection plotted and proceeded to carry out an attack on innocent movie goers.

As he entered the movie theater, he wasn't detected by movie ushers. He managed to get into one of the mass showing theaters. Holmes in a nonchalant fashion threw tear gas into the stands and then opened fire upon movie goers. The movie goers thought it was a joke and didn't know it was the real thing until the screaming started.

In this shooting, Holmes managed to kill 14 people and injure over 70 people. Holmes would later try to evade police capture. But it took a few eyes to spot the man as he was preparing to leave the state.

James Holmes the Aurora movie shooter.

Holmes was arrested. He confessed to the crime and also told the police that he booby trapped his home with massive explosives. The jurisdictions of Denver, Aurora and Glendale along with the ATF had to use weapons specialists to disarm all the traps he laid out.

If the traps weren't detected, many others would have died in a massive explosion.

That day I was off and I woke up to seeing ongoing news coverage of this tragedy. I thought to myself that the rise of RIGHT WING EXTREMISM continues in the age of President Barack Obama.

Holmes was charged with capital murder. His trial will begin soon. But it's often delayed because of the tendencies of delusional behavior by Holmes. The therapist who saw Holmes is under fire. Under the HIPPA law she wasn't able to discuss his problems. Despite even a valid threat he would of been if it was carried out, his therapist allowed it to happen.

The name of the victims are to be remembers tomorrow in Aurora.

Jonathan Blunk, age 24 Alexander J. Boik, age 18 Jesse Childress, age 29 Gordon Cowden, age 51 Jessica Ghawi, age 24 John Larimer, age 27

Matt McQuinn, age 27 Micayla Medek, age 23 Veronica Moser-Sullivan, age 6 Alex Sullivan, age 27 Alexander C. Teves, age 24 Rebecca Wingo, age 32

The families of the victims are pleading to Congress to get gun control back on the table.

I knew that since the Tucson shooting, the president didn't act on this. He pushed it aside because he feared the National Rifle Association and the Republicans would push this issue to the White extremists and doom his chances at reelection.

President Barack Obama hugs victims of Aurora shooting in 2012.

President Barack Obama and then Republican nominee perennial candidate Mitt Romney had expressed sorrow and outrage about the situation.

Both offered condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims. They've promise that justice will be done if there were ways to stop gun violence. They're promise to do something was broken.

This tragedy didn't get the ball running on gun control. It was taking a back burner because both presidential candidates were fearful of the NRA. And to make this clear, both wanted to play political posturing during this event.

The left blamed Republicans for lacking the balls to find solutions to reasonable gun control. The right blame Democrats for trying to push legislation that doesn't solve problems, it warrants more firearms on the street.

Eugene Han and Kristin Davis survived the mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado. They plan on getting married this weekend. They join many others in sharing thoughts and prayers to those lost in the Aurora shooting massacre.

Almost six months later, another mass shooting lead by a mentally insane person took the lives of 26 in third worst school shooting in American history.

Earlier this year, the Republicans in the U.S. Senate and a few Democrats blocked the passage of a watered down gun control bill sponsored by two conservative senators.

Senator Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) and Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania) both tried a bipartisan bill in which it could have stopped unregistered firearms from ending up in the hands of the next mass murder.

That was blocked by the likes of Senators Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Max Baucus (D-Montana), Mark Pryor (D-Arkansas) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-North Dakota).

Of course if it would have passed, the Republican controlled House of Representatives would have killed the bill and it will be likely a continuous thing for the do-nothing Congress.

Unfortunately this gun control issue will continue to fell on deaf ears. These members of Congress

These morons have allowed more firearm tragedies to occur. Even in the April 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and Christopher Dorner situation, these Republicans and Democrats spit on the grave of all the victims in gun violence.

Too many people lost their lives in these senseless tragedies and this inept Congress is not budging a muscle.

Let's remind them.

INSTEAD OF CALLING IT RIGHT WING EXTREMISM, HOW ABOUT CALLING IT WHITE TERRORISM?

THIS IS AN ISSUE! IT'S INSPIRED BY THE ANGRY RHETORIC OF TALK RADIO, CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS IN THE US POPULATION IN WHICH BLACKS AND HISPANICS ARE GROWING. 

THIS IS INSPIRED BY ISSUES LIKE LEGISLATION THAT ROLL BACK FIREARMS. 

THE PRESIDENT'S REELECTION ALSO ENRAGED MANY WHITE TERRORISTS ONLINE AND IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC!

THE CONSERVATIVE AGITATORS LIKE RUSH LIMBAUGH, MATT DRUDGE, MICHAEL SAVAGE, SEAN HANNITY, ALEX JONES, BILL O'REILLY AND GLENN BECK ENABLE THIS NONSENSE BY ACTIVELY DRIVING WEDGE ISSUES INTO THE SPOTLIGHT.

THE CULTURE WAR DEBATE OVER ENTITLEMENTS HAVE GIVEN CREDENCE TO EXTREMISTS WHO FOCUS THEIR HATRED OF THOSE THEY DEEM INFERIOR TO THEIR STANDINGS!

IN THEIR MENTALLY DISTURBED MINDS, THE WORLD IS COLLAPSING AND THEY'RE PREPARING FOR THE GREAT "RACE WAR"!

WHITE CONSERVATIVE MALES SEE BLACKS AS CRIMINALS, SINGLE MOTHERS/SINGLE WOMEN/INDEPENDENT WOMEN AS SLUTS, HISPANICS AS ILLEGALS, AND ASIANS AS PILLAGERS OF AMERICAN JOBS!

WHITE CONSERVATIVE MALES ARE OBSESSED WITH FIREARMS, POLITICS, BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE FOR THE COUNTRY'S WOES AND PROBABLY CARRY TENDENCIES TO CHEAT ON THEIR LOVERS (NOTE: SOME CONSERVATIVES ARE BLACK, HISPANIC, ASIAN AND/OR GAY)!

IF WE CAN GET RID OF OURSELVES OF REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS AND EVERY LOCALITY MAYBE THINGS COULD GET DONE!

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA NEEDS YOUR HELP TO GET THINGS DONE!

IF YOU SUPPORT HIM, HELP HIM GET THINGS DONE!

VOTE FOR TRAYVON MARTIN!

VOTE FOR SANDY HOOK!

VOTE FOR AURORA!

VOTE FOR GABRIELLE GIFFORDS!

AND YES, WE NEED A SERIOUS TALK ON RACE, GUNS, AND WOMEN!

NRA Goes After Obama And Gun Totting Senator!

With friends like this Senator Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia), who needs enemies? The president can't get things done because of idiots in his own party. Manchin is one of them. He comes from the state he never could win.

Quick question: If there's no source of food or human life on this planet, would you eat a firearm if there's no food?

Of course not. You've rather put it to the temple of your head if there's no one around and you're the last person on this planet.

Quick question: Why is it that Black men are depicted as natural born killers in the junk food media?

Simple. Black men are glorified by negative stereotypes of Blacks being criminals, thugs, pimps, rappers, and everything else they've watched in the junk food media. It is considered an ethnic subgenre of the general category of exploitation films. Hence the term, Blaxploitation. Blaxploitation films were originally made specifically for an urban black audience, although the genre's audience appeal soon broadened to cross-racial and ethnic lines.

Last question: Why is the fear of President Barack Obama's gun control proposals spooking the White man?

Simple. The National Rifle Association is working double time to scare up fundraising to defeat senators who are incumbents. They're trying to defeat the Democratic Party and President Barack Obama. The president's  proposals for gun control are riling up the white supremacist/conservative bubble. They are buying firearms in huge quantities. Despite the constant pleas from victims of gun violence (i.e. Santa Monica shooting, Sandy Hook shooting, Trayvon Martin, Aurora shooting, and Tuscon shooting) the NRA and its allies in the Republican Party are determined to stop proposals that may prevent the next mass shooting.

Okay, now before we get into the story, we'll talk about the Santa Monica College shooting.

Santa Monica shooter John Zawahri represents the rise in firearm usage among those who are mentally insane.

A 24-year old man named John Zawahri went on a shooting rampage last week. He killed five people before the police killed him. The man was a few days shy of his birthday. Somehow, I guess he's been mentally unstable for some time.

He ended up killing his father and brother before setting his home on fire. He carjacked a woman. He grazed a woman with a few shots. He shot at a bus going by. He shot a vehicle with people inside. He grazed a woman with his firearm. Then he managed to kill a Santa Monica College professor and his daughter.

When confronted by the cops, he aimed and they've fired. Zawahri was killed and while they were checking his body for weaponry, they've found a note saying his forgiveness for his actions.

The New York Daily News reports that Zawahri left a farewell note in which he expressed remorse for killing his father and brother but left no explanation for the rampage that left them and three others dead in Santa Monica, police said Thursday.

The three- to four-page handwritten note was found on Zawahri’s body after he was shot and killed June 7 by officers on the campus of Santa Monica College, Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks said at a news conference.

In the note, which was conversational in tone, 23-year-old Zawahri also said goodbye to friends and expressed hope that his mother would be taken care of and receive recompense from his father’s estate.

Police shoot and kill Zawahri before he could reload his homemade assault rifle.

Zawahri apparently built his own .223-caliber assault rifle, using it to shoot his father and brother before he set fire to their family home, officials said earlier Thursday.

Zawahri’s bedroom, investigations found illegal zip guns, Seabrooks said. They also found ample evidence of his fascination with weapons, including four replica airsoft pellet guns, knives and gun magazines, said Sgt. Richard Lewis. Investigators also found materials that indicate he likely assembled the weapon.

Police said Zawahri bought a lower receiver that was only 80 percent complete. Because it is not complete and not considered a full weapon, a person isn’t required to go through a background check to get one, nor does the part need to have a serial number.

Understand this.

He wasn't able to purchase a firearm, but yet he managed to outmaneuver the law by purchasing accessories to the firearm.

No one could stop him from making a straw purchase. Even though he had known mental issues, that was thrown under the table because he had the cash.

The new NRA president James Porter is a fat White asshole who once represented gun manufacturers. Besides he's packing more than his firearm on his holster.

California Democratic Governor Jerry Brown and President Barack Obama were informed about the shooting that day. The president was in Los Angeles and his Secret Service detail were told of this incident.

Last April, the gun control measure compromise by conservative lawmakers Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania) and Senator Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) went up in smoke.

The Senate refused to pass even the most water-down legislation capable from stop the next mental patient from obtaining a firearm.

The people of Sandy Hook were lobbying members of Congress to help pass the law. They've ignored it and called the parents of Sandy Hook a bunch of Obama supporters. The conservative agitators send their phony sympathies to the families but told in the second verse they've told the Sandy Hook families to shut up and go away.

Now the National Rifle Association is back in the news. I look at the Redding News Service and clicked on an article from the UK's Daily Mail, a London based newspaper.

They've reported that President Barack Obama and New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg were featured in a NRA online web video in which they were heavily criticized for their gun control proposals.

What's got the Daily Mail buzzing was the apparent blackening of the president. Hence the sinister feature.

In the ad, Bloomberg's face appears to be shaded, as well, but much less dramatically than the president's
Obama's darker appearance in the ad is being compared to a controversial 1994 Time magazine cover that shows a shaded image of former Buffalo Bills running back O.J. Simpson - who, at the time, was on trial for the brutal murders of his ex-wife and another man - that makes his skin seem much darker than it actually is.

The Time magazine cover came at a time when racial tensions across the U.S. began heating up as a result of the Simpson trial, which divided the country along racial lines for a variety of reasons.

Specifically, those skeptical about the state's case against Simpson charged that the lead investigator on the case, former Los Angeles Police Department Detective Mark Fuhrman, was racist and had planted evidence to frame the Heisman trophy winner.

Oh, look scary people on the TV screen....

James Gaines, the managing editor of the magazine when the now-infamous cover was published, later posted an explanation online.

'It seems to me you could argue that it's racist to say that blacker is more sinister, but be that as it may: To the extent that this caused offense to anyone, I obviously regret it,' Gaines said in his message.

The NRA did not respond to Mail Online's request for comment, nor has it responded to any of the criticism that the ad is racist.

The NRA dropped more than $100,000 on the ad, which will start airing in West Virginia in two weeks.

The ad quotes one of Manchin's videos from his 2010 Senate campaign, in which he says 'As your senator, I'll protect your second amendment rights.'

A voiceover in the ad then says, 'That was Joe Manchin's commitment. But now, Manchin is working with President Obama and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Concerned? You should be. Tell Sen. Manchin to honor his commitment to the Second Amendment and reject the Obama-Bloomberg gun control agenda.'

Manchin - who has previously received an 'A' rating from the NRA - recently sponsored a bill with Republican Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey that would have expanded background checks on gun buyers to include sales at gun shows and over the Internet.

The bill failed to get the 60 votes needed to avoid a filibuster, but Manchin recently said that he hopes the Senate would again consider expanding background checks - which is what put him the cross-hairs of the nation's most powerful gun lobby.

A Lot Of White Guys With Guns!

The National Rifle Association held its event in Houston, Texas.

The White guy with a firearm. It's the part of the conservative credo to have a bigger gun! I mean how many of these people have this obsession with firearms?

A whole lot of penis swinging around there. All gushy eyed over that half term moron and the cabal of conservative agitators.

The NRA elects its newest nut to the tree. The guy is a former lawyer named Jim Porter.

With headliners like Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Governor Rick Perry (R-Texas), Chalk E. Becker, The Guy Who Helped Obama Win, Palin Da Ass, and other agitators there, the NRA convention came off more so as the only place where a White man can feel like he's a leader in a diversified nation.

Jim Porter, the newest president of the National Rifle Association.

Can't be so subtle when I say this: But do you actually think the NRA events are catered to anyone of color?

Republicans and their conservative allies have done victory laps over the defeat of a reasonable background check. The NRA have put so much time in trying to scare up fundraising.

Jim Porter declares President Barack Obama, a "phony politician." Porter, who until this week was first vice president at the NRA and chairman of the group’s Legal Affairs Committee, will officially take over for David Keene at the group’s annual convention this weekend in Houston. The NRA’s executive vice president and CEO, Wayne LaPierre, has headed the organization since 1991, and has become a somewhat controversial but public face of the organization in recent months.

It’s no surprise that Porter, whose father was an NRA president in the late 1950s, is well-versed in NRA doctrine, namely protecting 2nd Amendment rights at all costs.

And anyone expecting the NRA to soften on assault weapons would be, well, deeply disappointed.
Indeed, Porter, 64, has put it in crystal-clear terms: He believes the NRA was founded to teach civilians how to use military-style weapons in the Civil War era.

“That was the very reason they started the national rifle association, was to teach and train the civilian in the use of the standard military firearm,” Porter said at the New York Rifle & Pistol Association’s Annual Meeting in 2012. “And I am one who still feels very strongly that that is our greatest charges that we could have today is to train the civilian in the use of the standard military firearm, so when they have to fight for their country, they’re ready to do it.

“Also when they’re ready to fight tyranny, they’re ready to do it. Also when they’re ready to fight tyranny, they have the wherewithal and the weapons to do it,” Porter added.

The video of the meeting was first unearthed by the Education Fund to Stop Gun Violence.

Speaking of a fight, Porter also noted that the Civil War is commonly mislabeled in the North.

“Y’all might call it the Civil War, but we call it ‘the war of northern aggression’ down South,” Porter said.

In that same speech, Porter also made it clear that there’s no love lost between the NRA and President Obama, whom he called a “fake president.”

“His entire administration is anti-gun, anti-freedom anti-second amendment,” Porter said.

And that was before Obama backed a new background checks bill and pushed for an assault weapons ban in Congress.

Here's some lowlights from the show

PA Senator: [GOP] Didn't Want To Give Obama A Win!

Two conservative senators Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) and Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania) tried to pass a bipartisan bill got shafted by Republican obstruction. 

The Republican Party already exposed their true colors.

This crucial vote on the stricter background checks may have the break President Barack Obama needed to rally his base up. The Republicans stubborn desire to hurt the president may have backfired.

Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-New Hampshire), Senator Jeff Flake (R-Arizona), Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Senator Dan Coats (R-Indiana) took a hit in their polls.

Senator Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-North Dakota) and Senator Mark Pryor (D-Arkansas) also taken a hit as well. They were the few Democrats who decided to put their special interest ahead of the people.

So far the 113th Congress has been an utter disappointment in legislation. While they're taking another vacation, the nation is facing a sequester. The sequester is putting a dent in growth because of Republicans obstruction to raise taxes on the higher end earners.

They allowed the FAA make budget cuts that affected travel across the nation. They finally realized that it affected them as well so they've passed a fast track bill to become law.

So far we've seen continuous gun violence across the country. One thing is clear, the gun always seems like the winner of these debates.

Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania) has express concern about his fellow Republicans. He told the press that the reason for the gun bill failure: The Republicans basically can't stand President Barack Obama.

Now we can remember that in 2010, the minority leader Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) decided to make the Republican Party's goal to deny the president a second term. It didn't happen.

So now the only thing the Republicans got left is basically try to murky the waters up so much the blame will shift to the president instead of them.

With the sequester and gun control failures, Republicans are likely going to lose the House and pick up two seats in the Senate. That's pretty much my prediction on this.

Republicans can take Congress to the bottom of the barrel and still manage to come out looking like winners.

But this isn't going to happen. President Barack Obama will have to campaign throughout his second term to get the public's attention. If one thing is clear, the Republicans pretty much screwed themselves more so than the president.

F.U. Senate!

These are the faces of a bunch of politicos who blindly stand in the way of progress. Whether they're Republican or Democrat, our mission is clear: We got to uproot these politicos!

These guys aren't supporting the American people. They really need to see the graphic photos of people killed by gun violence. They really need to see the pictures of those injured in the Boston Marathon tragedy.

They need to talk to Trayvon Martin's family. They need to see the emotion that comes out of a mother or father who lost their child in the Sandy Hook shooting.  How about telling those movie-goers at Aurora, Colorado, they can have a 30 magazine clip!

Hell, ask Haydia Pendleton's family why you voted against gun control?

Ask those victims at the Clackamas Shopping Mall why you voted against gun control?

Ask how those people in Tuscon are doing? I mean it's was so long ago and it's not newsworthy to see Gabrielle Giffords walking with a cane and permanent brain damage.

These politicos are in the pocket of the special interest groups. These extremist groups who pocket their funds and perk them up to the brim with trips and goodies.

I am almost certain that President Barack Obama will have to continue the campaign onward and throughout his remaining years in office.

You never want to mess with a community organizer. The National Rifle Association pulled these ridiculous hypothetical themes to rile up White extremists. The RED State Democrats who voted against gun control will suffer.

The Senate leadership of Harry Reid (D-Nevada) and Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) joined the opposition mixture of four Democrats and 40 Republicans. They've voted in opposition of background checks for firearms.

*Note: Reid supported the legislation, but he voted against it for procedural reasons, in order to preserve the right to bring the measure back up. But Reid is a supporter of the NRA though.

If you're that scared of the NRA, I'll bet you'll be scared of the American voter.

I hope those you've let down turn out in droves to remove you're worthless asses out of the Senate.

I don't even care anymore about who's in control. As long as President Barack Obama is still in the White House there's going to be gridlock. The next president will also suffer the same fate once he/she is elected.

Think if a Republican was elected as president in 2016. The beginning of the first term for the Republican will be constant gridlock by the Democrats. And of course, they'll blame each other for failure of leadership.

BREAKING:  The FBI announced the arrest of Kenneth Curtis. According to the sources, Curtis from Tupelo, Mississippi managed to send ricin to these lawmakers and President Barack Obama.

We don't have a picture of the individual but we'll be on it as soon as it gets available.

Congress Fails Newtown!

26 lives were lost by a madman with a gun. The families of the victims can't budge a stubborn Congress. The U.S. Senate managed to defeat a watered-down gun control bill. This is why Congress is terrible. They can't fathom reality.

Movie director/activist Michael Moore was right.

If a tragic shooting would happen to fall upon the nation and it has to be an event that affects one of these lawmakers' children, then you'll see change. If a lawmaker loses their child to the tragedies at Sandy Hook or the Boston Marathon, then you'll expect the lawmaker push for gun control.

Moore stated that members of Congress should get an opportunity to look at the graphic photos of those dead bodies at Sandy Hook Elementary.

As predicted, the low approved Congress failed the people of Newtown, Connecticut. The conservative wing of the U.S. Senate (mixture of Democrats and Republican lawmakers) gave the American people a vote. A vote to allow the mentally ill and criminals access to firearms and explosives. A vote to continue the unregistered firearms to be traded within the underground. A vote to give a gunman over 30 rounds in a magazine clip.

Wayne LaPierre and David Keane can pat themselves on the back! They've put the fear in Congress. The National Rifle Association managed to keep the gun industry even more profitable.

The failure of gun control assures continuous gun trade without background checks ensures another extremist an opportunity to gain access to firearms.

Soon we'll see another tragedy to fall upon a suburban area and the media once again pointing their finger at the lawmakers for putting their partisan bullshit ahead of the victims.

President Barack Obama was clearly angry with this.

The bromance is over. Senator Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) and Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania) couldn't even muster enough votes to pass a conservative gun control bill.

The Senate vote was a major blow to Obama's push on gun control. Expanding background checks was the focal point of Obama's proposals drafted after the December shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

Vice President Joe Biden said just before the vote that tighter gun control measures will eventually pass, suggesting the White House wouldn't abandon its push even though the vote appeared headed toward failure.

A majority of senators backed the measure, but it fell well short of the 60 votes needed to advance. Forty-one Republicans and five Democrats sided together to scuttle the plan.

Democrats from the RED states helped the Republicans defeat the proposed gun control measures from Senators Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania) and Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia). These two politicos are conservative and partisan to say at least.

Newtown Mom Stands In For President Barack Obama!

Conservatives attack mother of a Sandy Hook victim. Francine Wheeler stands in for President Barack Obama and the conservative agitators are not happy. Some goes as far to say that they're 15 minutes of fame are over!

On the weekly address to the nation (found on the White House and Republican National Committee website), the president and the Republican chosen deliver an outlook to the agenda that are proposed.

President Barack Obama introduced the country to the social networks. The president does his weekly address on Friday and puts it on the social networks by Saturday morning.

The Republicans are upset that President Barack Obama flew the families of the Sandy Hook tragedy to Washington, DC to lobby politicos to pass gun control.

Francine Wheeler, the mother of Benjamin Wheeler appears as the president's stand-in for the weekly address.

I wonder if the conservative agitators would attack a mom who just lost her child?

Let's look at comment section from The Blaze and see if they have a form of compassion for a mother who lost one of children in one of the worst tragedies in American history.

  Don’t let your kids become victims, arm yourself and arm responsible school officials. If a couple of school Officials would of had guns in Newton this whole tragedy could have been avoided. The headlines would have read Man shot to death as he attempted to kill children in a school. If you live in a gun restrictive state get your children out of school and home school them. How are the children going to be protected when the only ones with guns are the criminals?

    Someone should ask Barry Obama and Congress about the 211 children murdered last year by Drunk Drivers in the United States.
    Someone should ask Barry Obama and Congress about the 4,494 Children Murdered by Abortions every day in the United States.
    What these parents should ask: Why was there no investigation conducted when Adam Lanza was denied a Firearm purchase for refusing to follow Connecticut State Gun Laws? These parents should ask Eric Holder why the justice department is not prosecuting people caught with or trying buy firearms illegally? What these parents should ask: Why are the lives of our children (gun free zone) not as important as elected officials (heavy security?)
    Also, using the same logic of the parents about banning Firearms – why do we not ban automobiles and alcohol – 27 people are murdered everyday in the United States by Drunk Drivers – 3 more people murdered a day then from Firearms. How can these parents (Sandy Hook) who suffered such a tragic loss allow themselves to be used for political purpose?

    “The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.” – Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf
    Does anyone in Conneticut, or New York or California or Illinois and anywhere else for that matter, who claims to have right on their side in the name of the children, know that they are simply being used for a much bigger progressive purpose? People who are stupid, simply aren’t smart enough to realize it.
    I can tell you this, if something like this happened to my child, I would be lobbying for less restrictions on guns! I put my daughter on the bus everyday and wonder why I do it, when deep inside I know, she has no protection inside the walls of her school. What are these people thinking and what planet are they from?

    i feel her pain..but that grab the guns type PSA reminds me of the commercials we used to see of starving emaciated, dying children of the Congo and other nations in that region while begging for much needed funds to save just one child…again I feel & understand her pain..but between her and the parents who formed a gauntlet for the Connecticut legislators to walk through as they parents of sandy hook handed out glossy pics/cards with their dead children saying save just one life.save all childen from this..is as low as a PR campaign that Joseph Goebbels could have ever dreamed up.. Again..i understand their pain..I have seen first hand what a body of a child that has been torn apart in car wrecks as well as gun shot wounds far too many times..but this and those at the statehouse were politically way out of line..abnd all they did was rub a little emotional hand cream to sooth some rough dry skin..the laws those states passed will nor ever stop that kind of thing from ever happening again.And if does happen again then what laws/restrictions will come next ?

    They both are actors. No tears still. Remember Obamas fake tears? That is when the first red flag for sandy hook went up for me. First hurricane sandy. Then sandy hook. Cincidence? The sandy hook reference in the dark knight movie. Peter and Ryan Lanza still not being made public. Just a blitzkrieg to use your EMOTIONS against you to take your freedoms. Imagine what crazy psyops the govt will use of the population after they finish the “human brain mapping ” experiments. We are dealing with actors in our govt and at sandy hook. Like Bush, Obama and lots of politicians LOVE to say and I quote, “The time to ACT is now”. They told us they are acting and you people still dont get it.

    I feel deeply for this mother in the loss of her child. I don’t know how I would handle this if it was my child but
    doesn’t she realize she is just becoming a pawn of Obama? She has become a puppet for the far left liberal media and his royal majesty Obama.
    Her story willbring tears to many but she should relaize that if there had been armed guards and selected school personel, trained to respond along with publicity that the school was protected, the tragedy would have never happened. The looney would have selected a softer target. His intent was to kill as many as possible. Facing the knowledge ofarmed resistance he would have changed his mind.

    President Obama,
    Will you give equal television time to victims of crime who wish they’d had a gun to protect themselves or their loved ones?
    When I was a child my family was attacked by two men with butcher knives. Do I get to make a televised plea to Americans to arm themselves?
    How about hearing from people who stopped a crime in progress with a firearm – can we hear from them?
    Wouldn’t that be a fair & balanced approach, Mr. Pesident?
    Please stop treating America like an naive 12 year-old. We know our RIghts. We know history. We know when we are being manipulated. We are not controlled by emotionalism. Liberty or Death.

    If Americans allow the government to take their guns, then I’ll give up on them. For me the question becomes, how will I protect my family from the slaves and their masters?
    This whole thing is surreal.
    Watching so many American women consistently support collectivism is astounding. Maybe the men back in the day had a point in not allowing them to vote? They seem to be in one big hurry to enslave themselves AND their sons.
    Maybe this is the end for the US.
    As human history goes, 200 years of freedom is a pretty good run.
    I’m feeling like I was born too late. I really loved being free.

They are being used by the Team Obama not for the public good because Obama could care less how many people are killed by firearms especially if they are white. His goal is the same as the Socialist in every other country that have taken away the rights of the citizens to keep their firearms…total domination over a citizenry. This man wakes up to this thought everyday of his life…he’s not stupid…he is a psychopath no different than Adam Lanza…look at his stance on late term delivery and murder or the killing of innocent civilians with drones….he is truly evil and it will come out hopefully sooner than later. I just can’t wait to see the dazed and confused look on my Democratic friends faces when they finally realize it.

Obama, how many children has your anti-gun policy in Chicago or DC saved? What of the children that have been saved by the fact their parents had a gun in the house and saved the child from someone there to do them harm? I’ll tell you what. First you go into the gang invested neighborhoods and disarm the real criminals first. Wait, what’s that? Police won’t go into those hoods because it is too dangerous? My point exactly. Second EVERYONE goes without protection. Politicians, Hollywood, the Elites. Wait what’s that you say? People know us and we are a target. Well guess what. No one knows me but I am still a target just walking down the street or sitting in my house alone to any criminal who wishes to do me harm. Puh-lease! Get off your high horse and back your words with actions you want to require of me.

    The only problem with the children killed by guns is that it is misleading IMO
    Q: Is there a breakdown of who kills these children?
    in other words:
    When was it the gun handlers gun?
    When was it stolen?
    When was it a robbery?\
    When was it an assault?
    These just a few should be answered.
    Car deaths I’m sure could have that list as well but I am certain that say kids killed by robbery or assault would be heavily different.

Probably because I never told them the combination, otherwise they would (according to the Left anyway).

    Yes, I feel very sorry for this mother and all the others who are letting the government use them as pawns to make us and our children vulnerable to fools who want to make a name for themselves.
    It’s a crime to let little children be sitting ducks when mentally unstable people can waltz in an kill them at a whim. Guns in capable hands have proven to deter this kind of idiocy by mentally disabled fools.
    When a shopping mall or other stores post signs, “no weapons” I refuse to go there. Not likely anything will happen, but it’s like being in a circus gallery where they can shoot objects, and you never know when a deranged person will step up and do the dirty deed.
    You’re taking your life in your hands on the streets of Chicago. Guns are banned and people are shot and killed daily it seems. No protection from these illegal guns and being a sitting duck for any fool.
    Read history to see how people were treated and killed because they had NO weapons to defend themselves. GOD HELP US if we fall for this trap. You might as well fall into the Lions den without a hope, like Daniel, who was saved by God. Yes, God will save us, but not from Tyranny from our own government who restricts us from protecting ourselves.
    If we want God to help this Country, we have to stop murdering thousands of babies with no remorse.

  In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
  Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
  China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

  Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
  Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

Well....that's nice. They use their freedom of speech to be the outright bigots and condescending morons.

The Huffington Post reports that the mother of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Connecticut school shooting used the opportunity to fill in for President Barack Obama during the weekly radio and Internet address to make a personal plea from the White House for action to combat gun violence.

"Thousands of other families across the United States are also drowning in our grief," said Francine Wheeler, choking back tears in the address broadcast Saturday. "Please help us do something before our tragedy becomes your tragedy."

Ben Wheeler was among the 20 first-graders and six adults killed in the Dec. 14 attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.

Francine Wheeler was the first person to deliver the address other than Obama or Vice President Joe Biden since the two took office in 2009.

Her husband, David Wheeler, sat silently next to her as she made the recording in the White House Library. Both wore the small green pins that have become a symbol of the shooting.

Obama asked Wheeler to deliver this week's address, which was taped Friday. The White House said Wheeler and her husband wrote the remarks.

"Sometimes, I close my eyes and all I can remember is that awful day waiting at the Sandy Hook Volunteer Firehouse for the boy who would never come home – the same firehouse that was home to Ben's Tiger Scout Den 6," Francine Wheeler said. "But other times, I feel Ben's presence filling me with courage for what I have to do, for him and all the others taken from us so violently and too soon."

Some of the Sandy Hook families, with Obama's blessing, have launched a stepped-up effort to push a gun control bill through Congress.

Obama traveled Monday to Hartford, Conn., about an hour's drive from Newtown, to make his case for action. On the return trip to Washington, he brought back 12 of the victims' family members, who have been meeting with senators.
