Harry Reid opens door to Senate gun control debate
With pressure building from Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid opened the door Monday for legislative action on gun control in the wake of the deadly massacre at a Connecticut elementary school last week.
While he said “no one law” or policy can stop a “determined madman,” Reid argued that Washington is “not doing enough” to protect the public from tragic episodes like the one that unfolded in Newtown, Conn. where 20 children and six adults were murdered by an armed assailant.
“In the coming days and weeks, we’ll engage in a meaningful conversation and thoughtful debate about how to change laws in a culture that allows this violence to continue to grow,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “We have no greater responsibility than keeping our most vulnerable and most precious resource — our children — safe.”
Cause that's what democrats are known for.....conversation and debate....remember the conversation we had about Obamacare before it was rammed down our throat?
Yeah, neither do I.
We didn't even know how many were murdered before the liberal media began to define the debate and attack the second amendment and gun ownership leaving any real discussion about violence in society behind. According to the lickspittle media it's all about the guns ya know.
I watched the ABC News tonight with Diane Sawyer and the whole program was dedicated to finding solutions together, which in Lame stream media speech means we're going to tell you what to think. After Obama won his second term there is no reason for them to believe otherwise either. So it's obvious that again the progressive commie liberals in the media and democrat party are going to do what they do best.
Restrict more of our freedoms and throw massive amounts of money out there for "solutions" that will simply not work.
You know....kind of like billions to stimulate the economy and billions for bankrupt green energy companies.
There are no easy answers that could have prevented what caused the terrible killings in Newtown, Conn, but knee jerk legislation underming the constitutional rights of American citizens is not one of them.
Unfortunately as long as the media, Obama and democrats can manipulate the raw emotions of voters there will never be a meaningful conversation on violence in society.
