Have any of you ever heard of the "Pearl River School, MS Massacre"?
No. Of course not. That's because after shooting 3 people, the killer was confronted by then Asst. Principal Joel Myrick pointing a gun at his head. Guess what? No other innocents were shot that day.

Without the school administrator's armed intervention, many more students would have died. The liberal media wont report this because it flies in the face of Obama's anti-gun agenda and "Gun Free Zone" indoctrination.

Why do liberals want to violate the human rights of people who are willing and able to defend themselves? Not to mention the 2nd amendment rights of ALL Americans?

Yes; I know this is grim, but when they start on the US gun laws and our "inherent culture of gun violence and death in America", please draw the following to the public attention. Sick bastards are everywhere; we don't have a monopoly on evil.

The world and Obama are wrong. It's sad that after so many innocent people have died that they turn instead on an American right. Don't let them own guns they cry! The sad thruth of the matter is that the people of America have changed. When I was young we used to bring our shot guns to school. WHAT your say? That's right, we used to bring shot guns to school. During our Physical Education class along with segments of dodge ball and flag football we also did some clay pigeon shooting. In fact one of the guys in our class won the national junior championship. Sure we had enemies in our school. Guys that hated eachother but we NEVER dreamed of shooting one another. Why? What's the difference? We grew up watching Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Gunsmoke, the wild wild west, Batman, the Road runner, Get Smart, Roy Rodgers, etc,,,, all shows with violence in them, yet we rarely had anyone loosing their self control and cool enough to go out on shooting spree's like weve seen recently. Again I ask what's the difference? We all had guns. In the roaring 1920's in America if a man chose to he could go and pick up a machine gun. Yep, you heard me right. It was legal in the United States to own a machine gun. The only violence I have been able to find with any of those has been the violent acts of gangsters. That was why it was outlawed. It was not outlawed because the average american was not to be trusted. As I see it the people of the world and Obama look at this and likely see the problem as this. They want the right to own your own gun and keep it at home for your own self defense as the problem. They may also claim that the media's focus on a story like we have seen as a problem as well and as a result two freedoms that we cherish in our beloved America are now in danger. If the media gives such a vast amount of attention to a shooting then won't that encourage someone who craves so much attention for what ever reason to copy the crime that someone else has commited? Taking away the right to own a gun and have it at home where you live ensures that if someone attacks your home that you will be forced to capitulate and the only way to stop the media from following a story is to curb the amount of free speach we have here. So to solve this problem the President of the United States is going to go after our rights that are guarenteed under the constitution that he has sworn to protect and defend. I believe we can keep our freedoms and instead turn to ourselves and look and see the answer. Our second President John Adams stated “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.” What he was stating is something Americans can’t stand to listen to anymore BUT it’s absolutely true. A people who live life with themselves at the center and not God’s will never repent of their sinful selves and never accept Jesus Christ gift of forgiveness and INSTEAD serve themselves all of their lives. Our nation has become so sinful that people are degrading their very humanity. We kill babies in the womb by the millions, we tell good people to shut up when they speak honestly and we are either busy shooting one another or were busy taking away the rights of those who are believers in Jesus that have done no wrong and will not do wrong. Why have these crimes been commited the world asks? It’s because today most Americans are not Christians as they once were and John Adams was right. “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”.

Rabbi Melchior would have us believe that Norway is a gun and violence free paradise. See, they even banned Power Rangers! Of course, there was that terrible massacre last summer. I wonder if he'd like to blame that on the bogeyman American "gun lobby."

They already know the reason as to what drove the reclusive 20 year old 'gamer' to kill.They are already covering it up with mumbo-jumbo to confuse us with. There is too much money to be made feeding our children a diet of violence 24/7 in America.

He's going a bit over the top with being against war games and such, but I think he has a point about the normalization of violence in popular culture.

Your days in the Knesset are over, no need to campaign. Kids will pick up a toilet roll empty to use as a gun. Has nothing to do with this at all. Richard speck used knives to kill nurses…are you going to take knives out of everybody's kitchen?
