When the taxpayers are paying for public safety


 
no expense is spared. Boston is locked down, and all businesses are closed.

However, when legislation concerning public safety might cost the gun industry money, even after the massacre of children in Newtown, congress votes it down.

All of this in the same week. If we didn't know where we stood before, we should damn well know now.

It isn't the cost to the gun industry that we care about, you fruitloop, it is the cost to our freedoms, the cost to be denied protection of ourselves.

What amuses me is you idiots think the government kept people safe, when that same government failed to stop it from happening in the first place. What came next was hard work by individuals who happened to be employed by the state, combined with the help of civilians. If it wasn't for the people who did the hard work this shitbag would still be free no matter how big the government is, without individuals it can do nothing.

4. Yeah, well their days of dominating America are going down too.

Responsible gun ownership I have no problem with--but this other shoot em' up any old way with military weapons-sorry, gotta go.
And it will and they know it. But they have a lot more whining to do first.

A responsible gun owner is not the shoot em up with military weapons caricature that you idiots have created in your own minds.

All the pictures I see of Boston cops with ARs have 30-round magazines in them.

I guess DUmmies think regular people don't deserve the same kind of protection as a public-sector union member.

That's impossible.  The local talking head in MA that called into the BBC World Service earlier today said that there were, and I quote, "military police everywhere, and SWAT teams with AK-47s."

I'm just sure that'll happen soon...especially since 94% of the population doesn't want anymore gun control legislation. Politicians want to get reelected. Going against the will of their constituents wouldn't be beneficial.

Well, I knew about this chart, but I never heard such a out-and-out demonstration of it until today. 

Frankly, I was disappointed nads didn't call into BBC News World Have Your Say and tell the whole world about the man  hunt today. 

(The show comes on at 11AM your time nads, every week  day, just call +44 20 70 83 72 72.)
