". . . "I have been unspeakably victimized once already, and I refuse to let that happen again to myself or my kids. So why can't your administration see that these restrictions that you're putting to make it harder for me to own a gun, or harder for me to take that where I need to be is actually just making my kids and I less safe?" Obama replied that nothing he has proposed makes it harder for her to buy a gun.  "Well, Kimberly, first of all, obviously — you know, your story is horrific. The strength you've shown in telling your story and, you know, being here tonight is remarkable . . .I just want to repeat that there's nothing that we've proposed that would make it harder for you to purchase a firearm. . . you have to be pretty well trained in order to fire a weapon against somebody who is assaulting you and catches you by surprise. . . And what is also true is there's always the possibility that that firearm in a home leads to a tragic accident.". . . "

". . . Corban wasn’t impressed.  “I would say it was more of a non-response,” she told The Post. “He kind of dodged the question.”. . ."

Living. . .

. . . a fantasy?

(Thanks to NBCNews, Chuck Todd, Matthew DeLuca)
Gun-rights groups vow to fight any restrictions of weapons. I presume that includes grenade and scud missile launchers should the enthusiast have a large enough desire.

Of the many well-reasoned defenses they give for owning assault weapons is they are 'just plain fun to shoot' adding that folks who would ban them are 'misguided.'  (One also said that high-capacity magazines are "fun" to have. Should we be concerned? Why must we even attempt to negotiate with these daunting intellects?)

President of the West Virginia Citizens League wonders how 'just one more law will solve these issues' which I translate as 'if a new law doesn't completely eliminate tragic, mass shootings by mentally imbalanced people, let's NOT DO ANYTHING. But then what great logic can we expect from one who says "People are killed greater number by cars, bats, hammers, hands, and feet" than by guns.  He adds that ". . . attempting to ban the tool will have absolutely no effect."  Now let me get this straight. . . I guy walks into a dark movie theater with a desire to shoot-up as many innocent people as he possibly can with a machine gun BUT, machine guns are banned.  So he walks into the movie theater anyway, without a gun, BUT HE CAN'T SHOOT ANYBODY. 

Same guy says that assault guns are used in a 'relatively small number of homicides.  I don't how you twist that, fact it, a small number of homicides that involve 20 (give or take) innocent people at one time are BIG THINGS to me. 

Another brilliant mind (chairman of the Buckeye Firearms Association) says if someone can how him how lives will be saved by additional gun control,  he'll look at anything, but a ban on assault weapons won't do that. He says, “I don’t like a bunch of dead kids, so I don’t see why we waste time on stale policies. . . ” How does one attempt to deal rationally with a mind of this lofty caliber?
