I was wondering when someone will say this...

Quote from Article---
"Talking to American friends, I always sense a kind of despair that the gun lobby
is too powerful to challenge and that nothing will ever change. The same
resignation was evident in President Obama's rather lifeless reaction to the
Washington shooting last week. There is absolutely nothing he can do, which
underscores the fact that America is in a jam and that international pressure
may be one way of reducing the slaughter over the next generation. This has
reached the point where it has ceased to be a domestic issue. The world cannot
stand idly by."

Obama could authorize military personnel to CCW while at work for a start. His signature could do that overnight.

Better give him a Snickers, he abuses EO when he is hungry.

The article, and especially the comments, make me want to pick up the phone and donate yet more money to the NRA.

"Although it was brave of Howard Schultz, the company's chief executive, to go even this far in a country where people are better armed and only slightly less nervy than rebel fighters in Syria"

Stopped reading here.

Didn't we stop taking directions from the English a couple hundred years ago? International problem? I'd think the Brits would have learned their lesson the last time they tried to take our guns.

Apparently they're still a little bitter about that Chuck.

which underscores the fact that America is in a jam and that international pressure may be one way of reducing the slaughter over the next generation.

First, apparently that writer knows nothing about the American spirit. We don't take too kindly to outsiders meddling in our affairs. I fact, if Americans wanted the opinions and meddling from the Brits we'd have a puckered old tart they like to call "Queen" on our currency.

Secondly, The "slaughters" occur when honest law-abiding citizens are stripped of our Rights to protect ourselves by the over-reach of our local, state, and Federal governments. The true slaughters occur in nations around the world where their citizens have no right to possess firearms to protect themselves.

This has reached the point where it has ceased to be a domestic issue.

When American citizens abuse their God-given Rights to commit violence with firearms OUTSIDE of our borders, then they can claim it's no longer a domestic issue. Until such time, I recommend they shut up & color.

The world cannot stand idly by."

Oh, I think it best for everyone if that's exactly what they continue to do; else MOLON LABE!

I'm saving aluminum cans. When I get enough, I'm buying airfare to London. I got two asses to kick there, and his is #2.
