You're not the quickest draw on this forum, are you? Spam is unwanted commercial solicitations, and I'm just posting an opinion. If you want to engage in a meaningful conversation, then let's have it. That's what I came here for.

To us, they matter a great deal!

To Obama and his minions, they are only a means to an end. They had their plans at the ready, waiting for an incident like this to provide the impetus to use them.

Agreed, and they shoulda stayed quiet instead of talking up armed guards, armed teachers, and introducing a new shoot'em game. They're not bolstering their credibility.

I can't say I agree with that. Why would they use a tragic incident in that manner? Obama went four years without saying boo before this.

He waited four years because if he had acted in his first term he wouldn't have been re-elected.

Alright troll, I'll bite.

Yes, dead kids matter and the 20 children killed at Sandy Hook, although tragic, pales in comparison to those killed by drowning in pools EVERY YEAR, not a one time event, but an ongoing sensless slaughter of children so that we can lounge by the pool. The president ignored the only idea that was actually aimed at protecting schools......yet he's "sceptical" about guarding our children the same way that we guard our money, our celebrities and our politicians.The ideas that you and your ilk spout forward do nothing to change the current situation where our children are helpless victims herded together to make easy pickings for a madman with a weapon. All they will do is create scores of defensless victims for the evil and deranged that roam our society. Show me a program where we actually start taking these "ticking timebombs" off our streets, then come talk to me about the tools they use for destruction.

Try reading a little and learning some facts, when your ready for an informed, fact based debate, there are scores here ready for that debate. If your not willing to do so, then enjoy what I'm sure will be a short stint spouting leftist talking points amongst well reasoned and rational ideas that others are posting.

YOU came here to push buttons and to look for a "fight". Have a fantastic day. I am done with you.

If he legislates a method of control that reduces the homicide rate, how can that be bad? You're not even willing to let him try.

Not fight, discussion. You went to fight mode, tossing SPAM accusations. Regardless, I just wanted to see how my opinion could be better informed. I don't get the hate and distrust.

More lives would be saved by preventing abortions, yet there is no support for that.

That's where the 'if only one life is saved' argument loses all credibility.

Fair answer, Then I'd invite you to read a bit here, educate yourself to form a better, more learned opinion. There are others who used to think as you do prior to learning more, ... (Just one example off the top of my head out of many ...) like Dr. Bill Holda who learned more, got licensed and furthered his education.

I'll have to disagree with your agreement. Eliminating "gun free" zones would also eliminate the existing "shoot'em game" we now have.
I hate to be the one to tell you this... are you lost? this is not Huffpo.com?? Please review the board index. this may not be your cup o' tea.
