Let's BAN Guns

Today, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg called on the President and Governor Romney to address gun violence, saying “maybe it’s time that the two people who want to be President of the United States stand up and tell us what they are going to do about it, because this is obviously a problem across the country.”

Because of the recent shooting in Colorado, It looks like the anti-gun people are starting their assault weapons ban rhetoric.

Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell decried federal lawmakers for failing to pass a permanent ban on assault weapons, such as the one used in Friday’s deadly Colorado movie theater shooting.

Rendell said it was an “act of cowardice by the Congress” not to renew the ban, which expired in 2004, and blamed lawmakers for being too “terrified” of the National Rife Association, which has lobbied against the ban, to actually do it.

“We’re terrified of the NRA. We Democrats are as bad as the Republicans. Everyone is scared of the NRA,” Rendell said Friday on MSNBC. “There are some things worth losing for in politics, and to be able to prevent carnage like this is worth losing for.”

Rendell said there is “no reason” for people to have assault weapons.

“No hunter needs it, no citizen needs it to protect their home,” he said.

I say the President and his cronies may have secretly wanted something high profile like this tragedy to happen. First, it takes the focus off of his horrible handling of the economy and his socialistic ideology and second, they absolutely HATE guns.

"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."
-- Rahm Emanuel.

I like this quote from our very own:
"Liberals. You could almost laugh at their antics if they weren't so dangerous to the economy or our natural God-given rights."
-- The Annoyed Man

What say you?...
