Everybody has an opinion in the matter and I don't believe that they should be chastised for stating it. Perhaps the energy wasted here would be better spent making your views known to your state representatives, so that perhaps they can take it to the national level. I personally do believe that this latest massacre in CT has given a lot of officials who seemed indifferent to the issues, a big wake-up call, simply because it took so many very young and innocent lives. The loss of any life in a scenario such as this is senseless and cruel - but for little children only 6 and 7 years old it is beyond senseless and cruel. It was barbaric and unthinkable - yet it happened.
It's time to think of and do something constructive, rather than continuing to be destructive and critical of others who don't necessarily agree with you.
And like I said: JMHO
First you have to find out who is taking cash from the gun lobbyists.
NOTHING will ever be done about the current gun laws, all the politicians pay lip service to us to make us believe they are concerned.
Dianne Feinstein is one of the effing puppetheads that is anti gun, while all the while traveling with armed security guards and packs heat herself.
She's an opportunist, a snake oil-salesman and a true knee jerk politician, check out her grandstanding re Conneticut
