But this talk radio guy (who got fired over his statements) poses an interesting question. Would background checks/increased regulation of gun registration be a greater tragedy than what the families of Newtown victims lost?
DAVIS: And here’s the other thing that drives me crazy. They trot out the victims. And I have something I want to say to the victims of Newtown, or any other shooting. I don’t care if it’s here in Minneapolis or anyplace else. Just because a bad thing happened to you doesn’t mean that you get to put a king in charge of my life. I’m sorry that you suffered a tragedy, but you know what? Deal with it, and don’t force me to lose my liberty, which is a greater tragedy than your loss. I’m sick and tired of seeing these victims trotted out, given rides on Air Force One, hauled into the Senate well, and everyone is just afraid — they’re terrified of these victims.
EMMER: Well they’re being used — they’re being used…
DAVIS: I would stand in front of them and tell them, ‘go to hell.’

LMFFAO at all the neocompassionate gun fucks. With rare exception, everyone of em would tell that family to go to hell - right to their face.
You're an easily-led automaton. Don't let these drones fool you -they don't give a shit about anything or anyone but themselves and their sexual thirst for guns, knives and explosives.
Can you imagine one of em at the dinner table with a Newton family!? .....taking the largest piece of meat and not waiting until everyone is served before plunging into their meal, drinking scotch and beer at the dinner table, kicking the dog because he aint the same breed as their duck hunting dog, bulge in their already massive whale belly waistlines from the gun they're cowardly concealing and brought not because they needed to but because it's their right godammit to carry a concealed weapon even into the home of a grieving family, unfolding a cum-stained copy of boiler plate NRA talking points on top of the potatoes, putting on their douchebag readers and callously attempting to convince them they're better off with absolutely no gun control whatsoever with pretty much this argument:
"We understand your pain, but it's important for everyone to have access to AK-47's. Its their right."
After the family recovers from their outrage and asks them to leave immediately, they ask if they can finish their drinks and use the bathroom. In the bathroom, they proceed to take the nastiest, smelliest motherfucking shit an aging conk douchebag with a diet solely composed of red meat, Lipitor, potatoes, bacon, tobacco, Alka Seltzer, bud light and scotch can produce. They're in there for an hour listening to the police scanner on their phones, lubing their Glocks and jacking off to a copy of Soldier of Fortune they snuck in their pant leg to read in case they had to take a shit - which is all the fucking time. They hear the crying and whimpering of family members through the door and amazingly through the stench and they feel they've made a breakthrough, so without their permission, they leave a stack of NRA brochures on the bathroom vanity and exit without flushing, turning on the fan or washing their hands - but not before taking a pic of the disaster they left in the toilet for the enjoyment of the guys in their gun club.
Really. That is THEIR CHOICE to go on the road with the politicians as their traveling sideshow...THEIR CHOICE, no one is forcing them to go.
Gun tragedy? Introduce legislation to begin banning weapons for law abiding citizens because those intent on breaking the law will follow a background check process.
