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.

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.

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.

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?

Gunman Arrested After Shootout In Atlanta School!

Michael Hill is the alleged shooter of a suburban Atlanta school. The school was evacuated and no children were hurt but the incident warrants a discussion on school safety. 

Michael Brandon Hill is a 20 year old man entered a suburban Atlanta area elementary school and opened fired on law enforcement officers. The schoolchildren were in their first week of school and this happens.

The police ended the situation peacefully with the arrest of the individual. But this incident rattled the nerves of concerned parents and opened another debate over firearms.

While that White Extremist was slap happy with a story of an Australian man being killed by three Oklahoma teens (two by who were Black), the rest of the news agitators were focused on a DeKalb County school being on lockdown because of a deranged man entering McNair Elementary School in Decatur, Georgia.

The Cox Media Group affiliates WSB and the Atlanta Constitution Journal have covered this controversy.

They've found some disturbing themes to the shooter's motives. Hill was hoping to make the news by "shooting up some cops (and children)".

The shooter was a White man.

The Atlanta Constitution Journal reports that Hill was considered "the quiet and friendly guy" who most people would never expect to harm others.

It's common among loners and the guys who are often rejected by women in relationships.

Michael Brandon Hill remained an enigma Tuesday night to all except possibly the detectives who were interviewing him about why he allegedly entered a DeKalb County school armed with a gun.

There is little in public record about Hill. An Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter dispatched to a house that was searched by law officers investigating the shooting found descriptions of an Everyman, who neighbors described as quiet and polite.

Late Tuesday night, police were still searching the house, which glowed from interior lights throughout and was wrapped in yellow crime scene tape. The house, which sits in a neighborhood of bungalows — some neat, some boarded up and surrounded by weeds — is in walking distance of the Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy, the scene of the crime.

Neighbors described the 20-year-old Hill as a short, stocky teenager who kept to himself and who watched over three children at the house in the wooded neighborhood off East Lilac Street in Decatur.

Hill, along with five other residents, had moved into the house about a year ago. They sometimes threw small get-togethers but rarely made much noise or trouble, said neighbors — who expressed shock that someone so unassuming could allegedly commit such a horrific act.

“I’m surprised,” said Francis Hall, who lives across the street and would occasionally exchange waves with Hill as he took out the trash. “He’s just an average guy.”

Another neighbor who didn’t want to be identified said he suspected Hill was some sort of nanny. He said Hill rarely left the house and was often seen taking care of three children who apparently lived there.

The children would play outside in the pool while Hill looked on. When neighbors requested he pick up trash left by children living at the house, he politely did so, the neighbor said.

To that neighbor and others, Hill didn’t seem disturbed; they saw him as pretty friendly.

WSB TV reports that DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric Alexander said the 20-year-old had fired on officers as they arrived and the officers returned fire.

“When we received the call and we engaged, he started to fire from inside the school at our officers. He had one or two of the staff members inside the main office. He was holding them captive,” Alexander said.

DeKalb County sheriff's deputies and U.S. Marshals arrested the individual without any injuries. The entered inside the school “without incident, without resistance.”

Winne spoke to the arresting deputies.

“When I arrived at the scene I saw the male subject standing outside, shooting a couple of rounds off,” one of deputies said.

Alexander said that officers feared the man had explosives in the car or the building. Alexander also said the alleged gunman had multiple guns, including an AK-47.

No children were harmed in this school shooting.

Alexander told WSB's Ryan Young firefighters cut a hole in a nearby residence so children could evacuate the school grounds through the back of that home.

“We could not bring the children around to the front of the school because we didn’t know if explosives were in the vehicle,” Alexander said. “Now, this deviates from our typical plan, but this was a very unusual situation, where we had to get the kids away from any possible explosives.”

Investigators said Hill will be charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, terroristic threats and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon

One of the women held captive in the school office called Channel 2 Action News to report that there was a shooter in the school. She told a Channel 2 assignment desk editor that the gunman asked her to call WSB-TV and police.

"All the time of doing this I never experienced anything like this," LeCroy said. "It didn't take long to know that this was serious."

The McNair elementary office worker told LeCroy that the gunman wanted Channel 2 Action News to "start filming as police die."

The gunman then told the woman that he wanted "police to back up." Shots could be heard over the call. 

Eventually the woman told LeCroy "they got him."

Parents were asked to go to the Walmart near Gresham Road and Interstate 20 to get their children. 

Hundreds of McNair elementary school parents flooded the parking lot to be reunited with the students, who were bused from the school. Parents were required to have a photo ID to pick up their child.

"When I first heard about the incident I had to rush to leave work, about an hour away to the school to see if everything is all right. When I got here they'd caught the guy and that's a good thing. Man I just heard all the kids are fine. Just good to have your little one back with you," parent Antonio Johnson said.

Parents at Walmart spoke to Channel 2's Lori Geary about their fears for their childrens' safety.

“My daughter called me on the telephone while I was at home and she said ‘Mom, are you listening to the news? There’s something going on at Nadia’s school. And so, she was on her way to Walmart and I came behind her,” Anna, the grandmother told Geary.

Nadia’s mother, Kimberly, said she now fears sending her little girl to school.

“It makes me want to home school my daughter,” Kimberly said.

Channel 2’s Erica Byfield spoke to woman who lives down the street from the school.

The neighbor, who did not want to give her name, said she was in her kitchen when her dog started barking frantically.  After hearing about five shots, she was compelled to run outside and check her surroundings, knowing a school was nearby.

“At first, I heard some little small shots. Then, I heard ‘bang, bang, bang!’ Then, I heard, ‘doom, doom, doom shots, so I knew something was wrong,” she told Byfield.

The neighbor said she hopes the gunman pays for what he’s done.

“I hope they get him and prosecute him for what he’s done, because these are innocent kids,” she said.

Students will have school on Wednesday, but classes will be held at McNair High School. The students will maintain the same bus schedule.

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 ?

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.

    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.

    Those who would give up freedom for security deserve neither and will lose both!

    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.

    @Unsafe…I feel the same way you do…I think these poor people are being used and are not thinking about the consequences of their convictions because of there tragic lose. 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.

    CATB – I know, save 1 child right? So what happens when they have disarmed us and home invasions climb. How many could die then? 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.

    Trigus:
    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.

I’ve owned and used guns all my life. NEVER has one of them jumped up, run out of the house and gone on a killing spree. Probably because I never told them the combination, otherwise they would (according to the Left anyway).

    Just once I wish someone in the press would ask one of the parents of a victim this question… “If you happened to show up at the school, heard gunshots inside and had a gun in your pocket- what would you have done?” NOBODY has asked this simple question.

    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.

  Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, 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.
  I am truly sorry that a crazy man took the life of your child and we cannot have your tragedy become ours.

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.
