Just thinking of the little children and praying something will be done to lessen the possibility of this happening again whatever that might be..........

Bet most of these murders are with very cheap pistols.

But what is not said is that most of the guns are purchased outside of Chicago.

Default The slippery slope solution

The slippery-slope-solution is to ban the worst semi automatic weapons with the hope that large numbers of children will never be killed again. Then in the next shooting there might only be 15 or 20 killed instead of 26. Will they then admit that the first ban was wrong headed? No. They will just say that the first ban didn't go far enough and proceed to ban the next most deadly weapons. So, I ask, "where does this type of solution end?"

I know my post here is late but for the record Wayne Lapierre and the NRA never said that.

Here is a link to the transcript of the press conference.

Then you probably shouldn't collect them.

LaPierre did say that the only thing that stops a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun.

He called for the armed volunteers in all schools. I am sure he would like more police wannabees like George Zimmerman to be patrolling schools with their firearms and set justice straight on more people like Trayvon Martin even though they are unarmed.

LaPierre is definitely out of touch with reality.
