What a Goof
The San Ysidro McDonald’s massacre. Columbine. Virginia Tech. Northern Illinois University. Now, a Tucson shopping center. These horrific American disasters have a common denominator that has numbed America’s will to change. Its latest incarnation: a Glock semi-automatic with a 33-round magazine. For decades, these weapons of mass destruction have enabled evil and psychotic killers whose only wish is to kill greater and destroy more. Can anyone still make a legitimate case for an automatic weapon?
Certainly not Democratic lawmakers, who bring a long record of extreme cowardice and dysfunction on this issue. The People of the Gun have lobbied our “leaders” into the ground. Political calculations have forced a retreat on restricting or — my preference — outright banning the sale and possession of these weapons.
Tucson should be a credible wedge issue to hammer the gun lovers into political insensibility.
Even the most powerful won’t take them on. Last week, President Obama made a mighty fine speech in Tucson at that grand memorial for the massacre victims. He offered no eloquent words or lofty phrases for the cause of gun control.
How many more massacres will it take to drag politicians out of their dark corners of cowardice and defiantly spurn the NRA’s blood money? If they only knew what I believe — that if we ban the sale and possession of automatic weapons and assault rifles, the vast majority of Americans would back them up.
First, she identifies the weapon used as a "semi-automatic" pistol, then spouts off against automatic weapons and assault rifles, neither of which was used in the Arizona attack and calls for a complete ban on the weapons that weren't used. She conveniently ignores the fact that the wounded democratic congresswoman has a long history of supporting Gun Rights and Second Amendment issues. Then, in complete lockstep with the leftist group-think, she uses words like "extreme cowardice" describing those who don't agree with her and calls on others to "hammer the gun lovers" and rails against "NRA blood money." She also studiously avoids any mention that the weapon used was purchased legally thanks to a lack of mental health reporting and one very credible report of the local sheriff covering for an employee's relative. And finally, her contention that a "vast majority" of American's would support her insanity is laughable seeing as how 49 states now have some form of concealed carry or will-issue, Illinois being the lone hold out.
Isn't this the type of language and "secret code words" that motivated a twisted mind to depravity in the first place?

Another reason why no one buys that paper any more. They have very dumb people writing with no common sense.
Daley told her to write this story.
i read the quoted article before using the link and the only thing i could think while reading it was, this must be a comment submitted by an idiot.
then i find it's a sun times editorial columnist's babble.
if the times were only printed on softer paper......
The only thing a "vast majority" of Americans support is the right to carry.
Those evil lobbyists that politicians refuse to stand up to are representing the consensus of the public... and they know it.
Ignorance is bliss.
“Weapons of mass destruction”
Wasn’t that a term coined to describe nuclear weapons ? But now in the twisted logic of the liberal fascists even a simple pistol can be one. Fascinating isn’t it. It is just as fascinating to label those who support a totalitarian regime a liberal, which is what most of our liberals today are demanding. Liberal is a play off the word liberty and I often scratch my head and wonder how someone who seeks the tyranny of socialism can claim to respect liberty. There is nothing liberal about the tyranny of a policeman’s baton against your head if light up a cigarette in a restaurant or an IRS agent seizing your property if you fail to buy health insurance. The exercise of governmental power is by definition totalitarianism – the opposite of liberalism. So why do our modern American liberals lust to exercise totalitarianism to achieve their goals ? That sure sounds like fascism to me.
The fascists of the 1930’s used the brute force power of the state to drive their agendas; agendas we’d recognize today as remarkably similar to those of our liberal friends. For example, let’s consider Hitler; he was a Marxist – Socialist, an atheist, a vegetarian, a non-smoker and a believer in Keynesian economics. Does any of that sound familiar ? Quite the paradox isn’t it and that’s why I like to use the phrase “liberal fascist”, I think it is quite accurate to describe our American leftists.
Laura Washington does however have a point; plenty of evil and psychotic killers have successfully used small arms to carry out acts of monstrous genocidal murder:
Stalin - 20 million;
Mao - 20 million;
Hitler - 13 million;
Pol Pot – 1 million.
Besides the fact that all those I listed were Marxist –Socialists they were also firm believers in gun control too. The reason they were able to carry out their crimes with relative ease, armed with even simpler weapons then Glocks is because they disarmed their people by establishing gun control and robbed them of the ability to resist.
I’m not going to argue that we have to tolerate shocking events like we witnessed at Columbine, Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois University and Tucson. But I will argue that if more citizens were armed for self-defense that probably those events would not have occurred at all. It is irrational to assume that criminals and the mentally ill will be prohibited from arming themselves by gun control, we’ve had gun control in Chicago for thirty years and our streets are drenched with blood and carnage on a daily basis. No, gun control only assists the “evil and psychotic killers” to achieve their crimes against humanity and to ignore that fact is to ignore reason itself.
In response, I purchased a half-dozen 33 round mags for my 19
People bans (i.e. execution of murderers) is the solution, not more useless gun bans!
Gun grabbers and their shills in the lame-stream media don't know the difference between an assault rifle, a semi-automatic firearm and an automatic weapon. I argued with my liberal accountant and explained the difference and he still doesn't think anyone should have semi auto assault weapons, ie AR15.
All you have to do to make a liberal piss themselves is to dress up a Ruger 10-22 with some black plastic and a longer magazine and voila! Instant evil black rifle, an assault weapon, a weapon of mass destruction, OMG, that's so dangerous! Stinkin' twits.
Hey liberals, try to think as a conservative would, it won't kill you, we don't like stuff, we avoid it, you don't like guns, don't buy the damn things. The people who wrote that document you liberals all hate, you know, the Constitution of the US provides for the populace to be armed. Not for sporting, not for killing Bambi, it is for your protection from vermin that would harm us. Self protection. You can call dial a prayer (911) and hope we have a cop to save you, I call 1911, my safety is my business first.
The only cowardice I know of is that of laura's peoples cowardly collecting government aid for generations, and resorting to violence to settle the silliest disputes.
Maybe laura should solve the problems with her peoples then focus on inanimate objects.
Politician and coward are synonyms.
I'm a liberal and support the bill of rights including the one that says "keep" (own) and "bear" (carry) arms.
Politician and coward are synonyms.
No Second amendment equals no other amendments. Part of the leftist ideal.

Best line in the whole thing - "If they only knew what I believe"
I'd like that Washington woman to explain why it is the case that there is ample access to herion and other drugs in the USA when they are -- illegal.
Does she remember how prohabition worked out for Chicago and the USA?

The writer of this laughable excuse of editorializing should be forced to spend 48 hours in the politically and journalistically friendly environs of the People's Republic of China, and be tasked with finding a citizen (non-party member) willing to give them an opinion on anything.
The 1st amendment is secured by the 2nd amendment. That is why it is second.
Guns are evil. Only Daley saved us from being the murder capital of the country by banning guns in Chicago.
If guns were not banned, there would be tons of violence on the streets of Chicago. Thank God for Daley taking care of us and keeping the city safe for all of those years.
Now we should pay more taxes so the Democrats can keep up the fight against guns. Because guns are evil.
In the words of Chevy Chase to Jane Curtin on the old Saturday Nite Live, " Laura, you ignorant slut "
Try to remember that the 49 states that allow CCW, it was the PEOPLE that exercised their right to self defense by the power of the ballot box.
2nd Amendment, " We, the people ", not news reporters, columnist or rags like the Scum-Times. Go ahead and keep on pumping out the pabulum to keep the sheepole sedated.
Now, that was MY 1st amendment RIGHT to free speech!

Shortshank's & Laura Washington = Major IDIOTS
Although Tuscon is a terrible tragedy, I can't tune into it much more. The offender, who the Sheriff, originally referred to as a "gentleman", was a far left wing, mentally unstable killer!
It seems to me that the only one who did anything in this whole horiffic incident was the guy at Walmart who saw he was unstable and didn't sell him ammo at his first try.
It's a good thing this didn't happen in Cook County. Because if it did we would see him in a graduation cap instead of the evil picture being displayed on the news.
Does Arizona have the Death Penalty? Unfortunately those who have ruined this state have seen fit to eliminate that as well.
RIP to the victims and may God comfort your families. Speedy and full recovery to the wounded. And a needle, electric shock or bullet for the offender.
But how can Washington blame the obvious? People who knew, through long interaction, that this nut was a nut and yet did nothing. I'll bet most of the classes that he was in were Philosophy and Social Worker stuff; you know, people who just want to help society. Yet, all they wanted was to get him away from them and didn't care where he went. Just kick the can down the road. Really helping alright.
Their mindset is not to "house" the mentally ill but to integrate them into society. HOW NICE!!!!
The blood is definitely on liberal, progressive hands with this one.
That is why they were so quick to defleck fault onto Sarah Palin and the conservatives. Yet, it was Obama who led the vicious verbal charges for the past two years against the Republicans.
Palos Heights Police Officer Found Dead at Lake Katherine
No foul play is suspected in the death of a Palos Heights police officer, whose body was found Monday at Lake Katherine, officials said.
18 JAN 11 issue of Washington Times, use toolbar and click "politics ", then scroll down to article by Paul Davenport : After tragedy, AZ. lawmakers eye more gun rights "
Elected officials listening to the voice of the PEOPLE, not the media, Hanoi Jane et al. or recent grads of Mendill School of Journalism.
I said it before and Ill say it again the sooner that rag paper goes under the better. Wont be long.
this must be a comment submitted by an idiot.
then i find it's a sun times editorial columnist's babble.

What's the difference?
Sad that they follow those talking points even sadder if they really believe it.
Liberals have a mental disorder.
Laura Washington's anti-gun diatribe illustrates her ignorance and is a feeble attempt to blame an inanimate object for the violent acts of a seriously deranged, angry, paranoid young man.

Keep a few in your bag.
I've been saying this forever but no one listens... The availability of cheap, factory made "high capacity" mags (aka- 33 rounders) is one of the best attributes of the 9MM family of Glocks. In the blink of an eye, you can go from a concealable weapon or ordinary sidearm to one that can lay out significant firepower.
Every Chicago cop should join the NRA.
That would be priceless

this is not a question.
To 3:52PM Did you mean the Mendacity School of JournaLIEsm?
The problem with this entire incident is we had a guy with severe mental illness - paranoid schitzo. The school saw it and kicked him out....the parents, I don't know how much they did to try to get him committed, or did they just sweep it under the rug, but the issue here is a mentally ill nutcase who had a loaded gun and shot and killed a bunch of people, one who was a member of congress.
The guy who killed John Lennon was a mental, the guy who killed Bobby Kennedy (a muslim, not doubt) was mental, the guy who killed LIncoln was even a mental, the list goes on.
Mental illness and guns don't mix, these media liberals should not confuse guns with the law abiding mentally stable citizen and the crazy schitzos who shoot because the voices tell them to.
