His tears caused my tears! New gun dealers should be made to look at the pics from the slaughter

[mfcorey1]

of those innocent children from Sandy Hook. eom

[H2O Man]

1. Recommended.

An extremely powerful presentation.

[mainstreetonce]

2. Agreed

It is time

[flamingdem]

3. Potus caused maybe a million to

cry today. That might lead to change, somehow.

[DesMoinesDem]

4. Nowhere close to a million people watched this speach, let alone cried.

I wonder if he cries when he kills innocent people with drones. Probably not.

[mfcorey1]

5. You should get some help for your anger.

[DesMoinesDem]

6. What anger?

[Jim Beard]

23. The one everyone else sees

[DesMoinesDem]

32. Imagined by you. The anger is actually coming from you.

People get angry around here when it is pointed out that Obama kills innocent people with drones. Not angry that innocent people are killed, but angry that it is pointed out when a Democrat does it.

[linuxman]

7. Yep. And women need to see pics of bloody fetuses before abortions!

[Duppers]

16. That was totally unnecessary.

That sarcasm icon doesn't negate your conflating two entirely different issues.

Very clever? Ha.

[marzipanni]

8. Any terrorist should have to clean up every bloody mess they make

The ones that plan[ned] atrocities, including Dick Cheney, would have to help pick up the pieces of the people who were sent to carry out their plans. The suicide bombers get of the hook, because they can't lift a finger.

[NobodyHere]

9. Should car dealers also be forced to look at pictures of auto-wrecks?

[Photographer]

10. Cars weren't designed to be killing machines.

Idjit.

[GGJohn]

20. True, but they sure do a bang up job of injuring and killing people,

so should auto manufacturers be forced to look at the victims of accidents?

[Photographer]

27. Not with the efficiency of a gun.

[GGJohn]

28. Really?

Then why are there just as many deaths and injuries, if not more, as firearms?
Vehicles are very efficient at killing multiple people at once, it happens quite often in this country.

[Photographer]

29. You can't be serious.

Strawman x 3

[GGJohn]

30. No,

it's truth x 10.

[Beaverhausen]

11. You are aware that cars have required safety standards, are you not?

and those of us who drive them are tested and licensed?

Why not do that with guns as well?

[beevul]

12. Not to own, they don't.

Only to be licensed to operate in public, not to simply own.

and those of us who drive them are tested and licensed?

Again, only in public. Testing and license is not required when driving on private property.

Why not do that with guns as well?

What you refer to already exists. Its called license to carry (in public).

[Beaverhausen]

13. well, not many aren't using cars in public

and of course, guns in private homes NEVER harm ANYONE!

give me a break.

If you are a law abiding citizen these laws shouldn't bother you.

[beevul]

14. I guess you don't get out much.

well, not many aren't using cars in public

I guess you don't get out much. It happens every day, all year long, from farm trucks to race cars, both in dirt and on pavement. America is a very large and very busy place.

and of course, guns in private homes NEVER harm ANYONE!

give me a break.

That's neither here nor there.

You made the comment about safety standards, testing and licensing.

I explained how and why that applies in reality, and how and why we already have the thing you were asking for, in the form of a concealed carry license. Whats the problem here, exactly?

If you are a law abiding citizen these laws shouldn't bother you.

Um...what laws did I say bothered me, in this exchange with you?

[Jim Beard]

24. No, not unless they sell them for the purpose of killing people.

[GGJohn]

26. What difference does that make?

They kill and injure just as many people each year.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

15. Why?

Did the gun dealers do something illegal that led to the Sandy Hook shootings?

[Jim Beard]

25. Probably not and thats why we need more controls.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

31. Such as? n/t

[madokie]

17. Pretty much all the politicians should have too

I cried right along with him.
One thing I learned about gunz in the 15 months of in-country Vietnam is how badly they tear up a human body

[GGJohn]

18. Oh bullshit.

Why? They had nothing to do with that, it was a deranged nut who killed his mother to gain access to those firearms.

[Shandris]

19. Just going straight for the Struggle Sessions, huh?

The number of new totalitarians in this party is REALLY starting to squick me. I get the overriding feeling I'm not wanted among these people anymore. Maybe I never have been?

That would be kind of depressing.

[Jim Beard]

21. I am finally totally fed up with this NRA Bullshit

I am not going to contribute to candidates this year, for me there really isn't many Democrats running in Texas.

Who are the best gun control organizations to contribute to. I don't want one that uses 90% of its money for administrative costs.

[GGJohn]

22. Here.
