When will everyoen learn it is not the law abiding gun owners that go on these attacks. These are mentally disturbed people that their families or psychiatrists knew that they were a threat and not stable – but where are the changes to the mental health laws? Where are the cries to stop the violent video games (oh right the parents give the games to the kids to entertain them so they don’t have to disrupt their day to spend time with ther kids). Where are the calls to stop the violence on TV shows – again the parents have the power to threaten the stations and advertizers but they don’t – because it is easier to sit the kid in front of the TV to keep them quiet. REALLY? I live in CT and it is tragic what happened in Newtown, but not one law Obama has offered woiuld have stopped it. What ever happened to personal accountability? What ewver happened to discussions and debates. I elected my officials to do the will of the people, not to force their will on me. If i own a legal gun i went through a background check. Where is all the discussion to get the illegal guns off the streets – which account for over 95% of the murders with guns (it’s not the law abiding citizens doing this!). Let’s wake up America and take care of the real problem.

the nra,3 million strong,has threatened politions with their support,and eventually with their jobs.the nra,thinks they are too big to fail because of the 3 million members. well back in the 20′s,the kkk had a membership of 6 million strong.a much higher % back then compared to today.when the klan thought they were too big to fail because their membership included congressmen,governors,mayors,sheriffs etc.in the 20′s the klan membership almost destroyed indiana government,when the public was shown proof of bribes,lies etc. if the nra wants to survive and continue to support law abiding hunters and gun owners,the higher-ups in the nra,need to get off their high horse.no group too big to fail.

Obama supporters need to challenge him to fulfill his 2008 promise of reversing the Bush assault weapons ban rollback. We also need to push him to speak out against assault weapons during this campaign — with specific proposals, the NRA be damned.
