how could you try to make this political?

Anonymous said...

How do you know it's a republican, maybe it's a crazy democrat!

Last I heard there are 31 dead including the shooter. Don't know if he shot himself or if he was gunned down by police. Either way he's better off.

My heart goes out to all those families.

Another example of the fine young sociopaths being produced today.

This is a sad moment for the families that have lost someone from these ill advised people. There isnt anything political, as I see it. It is just plain mean, and should not be tolerated.

Murder doesn't follow party lines. Evil is prevalent in every society, every party, every walk of life, every socio-economic culture there is. The comments on this blog prove it.

May GOD have mercy on all of them and give comfort to the families.

This is a prime example of the type of children this generation will be. They are not taught at home to show respect to their elders so they go to school and take it out on other people. The parents of todays young generation need to start teaching their children right from wrong now!

anti-gun law's will only hurt the honest pepole. Criminal's are able to sneak people across the border... imagine how easy it would be to get gun's across. I'm sure the bad guy's would love it if they were the only one's with gun's. what happened in virginia is sad and I pray for their family's, but anti-gun law's will only make it easy'er for the bad guy's.I agree that we do need to come up with a solution, but it need's to be one that will actually work.

ban all private gun ownership immediately and confiscate those that have been bought. if citizens don't turn over their guns, give ticket the first time and incarcerate from then on.

like I said before criminal's WILL sneak gun's across the boarder.The only thing youre idea would acomplish is to stop honest people from being able to defend theself's. Criminal's would love it if there was a gun ban in America because then they would be the only one's with gun's. I say we enfoce a law that require's every American (who is'nt a felon) to own a gun. Some city's have tried that and it reduced crim in every case.... therfore if you take gun's away you will get the opposit effect.

Can you or others tell me why Canada and Japan gun crimes are virtually nonexistent? Like I said earlier, we need to ban guns now and as time goes on, crime will drop dramatically. It won't be an instant fix but future generations will benefit. I'm willing to try it. I've owned guns and was taught how to shoot one at age 8. I don't own any now and I haven't needed a gun to protect myself. Most crime perpetrated against people are known to the victims.

If handguns had been banned when first proposed in 1968, violent crime would have dropped and even if the crooks had handguns, they would be 40 years old and probably not work well since they would have not been maintained.

The future generations would benefit more from their parents teaching the difference between right and wrong at home instead of trying to make the public conform to their standards of teaching. There is nothing worse than having to listen to a beligerant child who has no raising pitching a temper tantrum is a public place. If you teach them the consequences of their actions then maybe they would not think that it is okay to do the things that they try to get away with.

notice the timing of the shooting....sure took the news media away from the attorny general congressional hearing .....republicans are very lucky.....release bad news on Fridays and hope for bigger stories when you have to release stuff on Mondays

Anonymous said...

honestly i don't feel that this has to do with gun laws or political parties....and i agree w/ the posters who state that children today do not respect their elders...but then again, i also feel that after the Columbine situation the zero tolerance rule came about and only targeted those who were being bullied.....why not stop the bullies, which will then lead to those who are bullied to not feel threatened....we always have to go back and see why something happened.....people just don't shoot others for no reason....i'm not defending them...believe me....i'm just saying that sometimes if the cause is taken care of this might not happen....

Canada and Japan still discipline their children. That's why they dont have these problem's. If the perp would not have had a gun he would have used a bomb which would have killed even more people. The only fix is for parent's to get off their drug abusing a@# and raise their children.There is nothing wrong with parent's taking a belt to their children when they do wrong and explaining to them why what they did was wrong.

Ive been watching the news channels and I am really sick of them trying to place the blame on the school and police. One person is to blame and that is the screwed up idiot that killed everyone. They are focusing on something that they shouldnt even worry about right now.

You are right about the media! They are just trying to create more out of an already horrific tragedy. CNN is the worst. They just ask a student that called in to tell everyone about all the blood and guts that she saw as she exited the building. Unbelieveable!

Here is something to think about.....I just walked into Lamar Co. Primary School, signed in (no one asked for my ID or why I was there, in fact they did not even look up from their desk) I then proceded to the classroom, then to the lunchroom. I ate lunch and then left. Went back to the office with my child, signed out and left the building. Again, no one even looked up from their desk. No questions were asked. I was not acknowledged in any way shape or form.

HOW EASY WOULD IT BE TO WALK INTO ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS AND COMMIT A CRIME?

How would you feel about guns if you were a victim and you had no protection because of gun restrictions. Banning guns would just make it easier for the criminals to take advantage because they knew that they would not be shot on site while they are committing their criminal acts. I live in the country and it makes me feel a little bit more secure knowing that I do have a gun to protect myself should a criminal attempt to break in my home while I was there and if I weren't and I found out who the criminal was They just might think twice about breaking and entering when I got through with them.
Because someone once told my brother a criminal could walk in your house while you were sitting there as long as he was not threatening to harm you, you could not do anything to stop them from robbing you blind. I just think that is a bunch of buffalo pucky because if a criminal is attempting to enter my home while I was there, I would consider that as a threat to my safety and I would not hesitate to shoot them.

Gun's have saved more lives than they will ever take. I would have probably been stabbed to death three year ago if I would not have had a gun on me.lucky for me I did have a gun and all I had to do was pull it out and the piece of sh@# took his hand's off me and walked away.

For all you pansy ass Liberals who don't like guns.
1st- do your research before you run your mouth about "no guns equals safety" BS.
2nd- If you love this idea of no individual citizen owning a gun then I say you put a sign up on your property were the whole world can see that states "I personally believe that a private citizen should not own or ever be in the possession of a firearm for the safety of all mankind." If you are truly a die hard dumb ass hell bent on getting yourself robbed, carjacked, or killed then put "I don't have a gun" sticker on your car. Why are you people sooooo freaking ignorant to facts and common sense. I wish you would state your names so that when Crack Heads and Meth Heads get hard up they can go to your house and shoot you for your cash.
Another point is that Child Molestation is a HUGE crime in every single state in the USA, but that has yet to stop a pervert from getting his hands on a child, the same as a criminal getting his hands on "outlawed guns."
Get a brain you pansy ass sissies!
PS- One day my child is probably going to beat the shite out of your little sensitive, pastie, offspring and in return he'll go get a gun a kill people cause it ain't fair and you always taught him that all people are kind and loving and no one will ever hurt you.
Where were you gun haters at when people were protecting themselves from pistol toting thugs terrorizing citizens left behind in hurricane Katrina, by arming themselves so that they could fight fire with fire. Those pistol toting thugs had no permit or proof of legal purchase for their weapons but they still had them-Now- take a deep breath and admit to yourself that YOU are a complete IDIOT and if someone shot you right now you would probably change your tune.

Canada does not have a ban on all guns, just hand guns. I know I lived there for many years. You can own a rifle, a shot gun, etc.. you just can't own a hand gun, unless you work in law enforcement.

Maybe that is what they need to do down here, take away the ability to own a handgun.

No matter what it's not the guns that kill people it's the people using them that kill people. Are we suppose to go around and everyone that looks like they are going to shot someone take them out?

It's a bad thing to say, but there will always be crime. Let say we take the guns away, okay. Criminals can still use baseball bats, boulders, poles, to bash your head in. Are we then going to take those away.

You can stab someone with a spoon, let's get rid of all the spoons.
It's a god given american right to possess a hand gun, the most widely gun used in all criminal acts, get rid of those and maybe the crime will diminish.

Drug's are illegal, yet there on every street corner in America. America has even been fighting a so called "war on drug's" since the 70's. If you ban gun ownership every crack head on every street corner will sell you a gun and a rock for $20.00. RAISE YOUR DA@# KID'S AMERICA. It's the only way to solve this problem.

Yeah, why don't you panzy-assed people wear a sign around you a neck saying I support the gun ban and see if you don't get shot with the same guns that you are trying to ban. We mollycoodle our kids give them everything under the sun and still more kids are commiting heinous crimes on their very own parents and relatives. Why can't the children be taught that there are bad people in this world and the world is not all nice and cozy. Reality happens and they can't handle it. Guns should not be easily accessable to a child but you should teach kids that guns are not toys and keep them away from guns. What good is a gun in an emergency when some one is breaking into your house are you going to have time to find the key to the gun cabinet unlock it, and in my case put the da@@ thing together and load it do you really think that the criminal is going to stop and give you time to do these things? H-ll no!

THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER!

Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the
radio the other day and you'll love his reply to the lady who
interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you
feel about gun laws you gotta love this!!!! This is one of the best
comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of a National Public Radio
(NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps
General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting
his military installation.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are
you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing,
canoeing, archery, and shooting.

!
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible,
isn't it?

GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly
supervised on the r ifle range.

FE MALE INTERVIEWER: Don' t you admit that this is a
terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching
them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become
violent killers.

GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a
prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

You gotta love the Marines!

AMERICA, THE HOME OF THE FREE

BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE

People that really think that gun control would have prevented this are really stupid. I don't mean it makes you appear stupid, I mean you really are stupid. Those that push for gun control so hard are usually liberal. Liberals also want to go easy on criminals and not punish them so harshly. One stupid act after another. Lots of the stupidy is rubbing off on conservatives too because lots of them are losing their backbone. Many would rather suck up a little hoping to get a vote. Country is going to hell in a nose dive.

so how do you hard headed republicans explain that every country that has strict gun regulations also have a lower violent crime rate.....these are also the countries that have national health care and therefore have longer life expectantcy.....when will america wake up and join the best of the world.....

I guess its ok that all the illegal immigrants keep flooding into the USA, taking jobs, taking our tax dollars..but what the hell, they all deserve a chance right?!? I dont want to be like the states you mentioned.. THe majority of CA is illegal Mexicans. Ive lived there. Its nothing to see the tent cities they have made, right on the sides of the road. Barnesville is getting flooded with the too. Jonesboro is over run. But lets not do anything about it.... You,anon 10:21, are a complete waste of space!

i will lay 12 to one odds that the people who are hiring the illegals are republican right wingers....they are using the mexicans like our forefathers used the blacks....when all the illegals who are workings for small wages(cash) now have legal children, then those children will grow up recognizing the need to have jobs with benefits....so they will be like the blacks of today, that want the state and federal jobs....if they dont get jobs with benefits, they rather not have the job.....and the right wingers will have to find another group of people to exploit for their cheap labor with no benefits.......the way to cut illegals is to cut out the low pay jobs the white rednecks are offering them......vote democracts

The Liberal Democratic Process

(Cobb County, GA) -- Eight Cobb County residents are in custody after federal authorities found more than 200 illegal documents in an apartment in Marietta. U.S. Attorney David Nahmias said the documents included Social Security cards, immigration papers, state driver's licenses and identification cards. Police also confiscated a number of items to make the phoney papers, including computers, laminating machines and printers. They also seized more than a thousand Polaroid and passport-style photographs. Nahmias said six of those indicted by a federal grand jury are illegal immigrants. All suspects are charged with conspiring to possess fake documents and encouraging and inducing aliens to live in the United States illegally. The documents were allegedly sold from a coin laundry in Smyrna and a tire service in Marietta.

8. Push for gun control on law abiding citizens and lighter sentences for people who commit crime.
9. Welcome same sex marriage.
