Elementary school shooting gun control pissing contest

On the other end of the spectrum, Yemen's very high level of gun ownership has worked out just dandy for them . . .

Hey man, right now those Yemeni tribesmen with their flintlocks are on the front lines of America's War on Al Qaeda down there.

So how's our second and third lines doing?

That'll be the Saudi interior ministry and the religious affairs police.  :

Watching the Bamster now.  His executive orders don't really sound like gun control, which is fine.  His legislative proposals so far are in line with what Beeb posted.

He mentioned violent video games, which I'm sure Languishites will ignore.

Oh, and he trotted out the "if it saves just one life it's worth it" line

Pisses me off.  See?  I told you guns are going to be fine.  It is the rest of the Bill of Rights that are going to get it....well will continue to get it.

and Obama makes the safe play.

Yeah he always does that.  He likes to think of himself as a pragmatist.

See what?  I said last week that there wasn't much he could do through executive order.

I told you guns are going to be fine.

He proposed some restrictive legislation, though.  Chances are it will not get through Congress, but it is going to get introduced, and it will get voted on (at least in the Senate), and until it's defeated I don't think it's advisable for gun rights supporters to ignore it.

It is the rest of the Bill of Rights that are going to get it....well will continue to get it.

Go on.

[Valmy]

Go on.

Instead of gun control I think the main effect will be increased databasing and careful watching on who has the guns.  That is, after all, what he has been saying.

A sisyphean task, sadly. Most likely ineffective.

But isn't ineffectiveness the whole point?

Yeah he always does that.  He likes to think of himself as a pragmatist.

He also likes to think of himself as smarter than the rest of us.

Well in your case

In celebration of Obama's 23, I;

1. Fitted the 358 in a new stock.

2. Installed a new trigger on the Remington 8x57.

3. Reload about 30 rounds of 8x57mm for the Remington.

4. Organized my reloading equipment.

Classy.  Watcha got planned for Dr. King's Birthday?  Some rope work?
