Irony to the nth degree.

Senate Hearing on Gun Laws Postponed Due to Navy Yard Shooting

By David Weigel

|
Tomorrow at 10, the Senate Judiciary Committee was supposed to hold a hearing on "Stand Your Ground" laws featuring testimony from Trayvon Martin's mother, John "More Guns Less Crime" Lott, and a trio of congressman that, for maximum cable TV potential, included Rep. Louie Gohmert. But shortly after 6 p.m., on a day when the Senate was on a security lock-down due to the Navy Yard shooting, Sen. Dick Durbin's office (and the office of would-be panelist Rep. Luis Gutierrez) announced that the hearing would be rescheduled.

That's right. The hearing inspired by one shooting has been bumped because of another shooting.

Your point is, I'm assuming, that there are a lot of shootings that have been glorified by the media lately...?

We can agree on that.

What does this, or any other shooting, have to do with gun laws?

I'm guessing the OP's desire is to strike at our liberties while the emotion is hot.

 

[Threegoofs]

What does this, or any other shooting, have to do with gun laws?

Clearly nothing. I dont really know much about the shooting today - havent read about it.

But I'm absolutely sure it has nothing to do with guns, gun laws, or gun availability. If anything it has to do with the fact that not enough guns were available.

And that goes for the next shooting too. I mean, you cant stop shooting with a law! Thats like saying you can stop bank robberies with laws! Silly!

You are so determined to attack the symptom and not the source. Violence will occur, regardless of the instrument chosen. We must address the source and stop with this nonsense about destroying liberty.

I wonder how the cops stopped this guy from killing more than 12 innocents...

Well, one thing we certainly do know is that today's shooting involved a criminal.

Hmm......just thinking here.....maybe we should do something about criminals!

Imagine declaring a Navy Shipyard a no-guns-allowed area and then having a bad guy shoot and kill 11 people. Who knew?

When you can stop all crimes with laws, get back to us.

We will be waiting with bells on.....

Yes. I fully agree. Laws just make people criminals.

 

[Lutherf]

They quoted statutes until he passed out?

 

[SMTA]

Not what I said.

Laws do a pathetic job stopping any crime.

 

[SMTA]

Hopefully they can draw much better than they shoot.

 

[LaMidRighter]

If only private didn't have guns......................I mean, the worst mass killings in U.S. history involved jet planes, fertilizer, cyanide(Jim Jones(American)), gasoline, and TNT, but if only we didn't have guns. :roll:

DEATH BY KUM BA YUH!!
