No specific solutions are offered, but at least he gets it.
And it will keep continue to happen until the advocates accept that ridding the country of guns is a hopeless -- and unconstitutional mission -- and that the real goal should be addressing the factors that lead to the various forms of gun violence: factors such as poverty, mental health and failing schools.
I agree with the premise - I don't see how you can ever effectively roll back gun ownership and gun proliferation in this country, so even if that was proven to be a laudable strategy it just isn't feasible.93henfan wrote:Wow. Somebody at CNN gets it.
Good job Mr. Granderson.

California One Signature Away from Statewide Ban on Lead Ammo
breitbart.com/Big-Government ^ | 9-17-2013 | AWR Hawkins
Legislation that would completely ban lead ammunition from the state of California is sitting on Governor Jerry Brown's (D) desk, waiting for his signature to become law.
California already has a lead ammo ban in eight counties, but the Democrat-dominated assembly wants to broaden the ban to cover the entire state.
According to Fox News, proponents of the ban claim it will protect endangered species, like the condor.

a) I challenge you to find SOME good things in the Obamacare legislation.bluehenbillk wrote:Look at the Obamacare debate, there are certainly SOME good things as part of this new legislation no doubt & there are also things that are NOT very good about it as well. The GOP & the Tea Party have railed against it for god knows how long, but let's remember this: Before ObamaCare Health Care in this country & the price for it was a rapidly growing problematic issue. Even with ObamaCare being implemented it will still be a problematic issue. If we de-fund or repeal it what is the GOP plan? Exactly, they don't have one.
Sorry to divert from guns but when it boils down to it, it's all the same strategy...

b) Pre-Obamacare, our group plan rates increased an average of 8%-11% per year. This year, in the first year of Obamacare, our group plan rates are going up 30%.
I'll take the status quo, thank you very little.

b) it's still bad legislation
There are very minor things that they could have done that would have made health care more affordable and accessible. However, the goal wasn't to make it more affordable and accessible, it was to ram through as close to an Utopian plan as possible. For that, mission accomplished.
In all sincerity, this "conk" would support single payer over the ACA.

The authors of United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination have taken it upon themselves to change the Constitution of the United States. The high school textbook contains an altered version of several Amendments in order to condition young minds into believing liberal propaganda.
The textbook notes the Second Amendment as, “The people have a right to keep and bear arms in a state militia.”
The actual Second Amendment reads, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
"As close to," incompetent bastard. Of course, the end result is bad for consumers and damn awesome for insurance companies. Thank you Lord Obama!AZGrizFan wrote:Utopian, for WHO? The Insurance companies?ASUMountaineer wrote:

Wow. So now you must join the military or the police to possess a weapon according to this AP History prep textbook. Only the Government should have guns, and the People should be powerless to oppose it.Bronco wrote:A new history textbook is out

Progressive wishful thinking put in our classrooms.
And the Founding Fathers do another roll, six feet below the surface.
