“The same report contains testimony from Virginia Tech grads who had concealed carry licenses and had spent their time at Virginia Tech arguing for a change in the school’s gun-free policy. According to the report, these concealed carry permit holders “told the panel that they felt it was safer for responsible people to be armed so they could fight back in exactly the type of situation that occurred on April 16, 2007.”
Click Here: Chicago is an extremely violent city because criminals possess the largest portion of guns there. And in 2012 alone, 1.5 people died each day after being shot by bad people with guns. One and a half people a day die in Chicago where Obama’s gun control solutions are already in place.
Iowa Democrat State Rep. Dan Muhlbauer says, “We cannot have big guns out here as far as the big guns that are out here, the semi-automatics and all of them, those are not hunting weapons. We should ban those in Iowa. Even if you have them, I think we need to start taking them, because if they’re out there, they’re just going to get circulated around to the wrong people. Those guns should not be in the public’s hands. There are just too many guns. If we find them on the street, there’s going to have to be some sort of penalty for them”

I see where Hillary is still hiding out so as not to appear and explain why the administration failed to protect the ambassador and three others killed during the terrorist attack on the embassy in Libya.
It’s also been made public but not by the Obama run newspapers or TV news that the four employees whose dereliction of duty for not adequately protecting the embassy in Benghazi have not been fired but just moved around state to another location in order to continue to draw their salary and benefits although they are incompetent and not accountable by government standards for their mistakes as they would be in the private sector.
There just isn’t any shame in this administration or ethics when it comes to honesty.

Why in hell would Time magazine name Obama man of the year? I can’t think of one thing he’s done to warrant such an award, if that’s what it is if not met to be a joke.
This Obama has done nothing to heal the problems our country faces other than making most of them worse. He’s failed to produce a budget since being in office plus he’s not done much of anything about the recession and what he has done has all failed, with the exception of putting our grandchildren further in debt to the Chinese. Then when his worthless healthcare cranks up we’ll be so bad off nothing will save us unless he resigns.
We have a government that can’t manage the post office, Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security along with many other so called programs and now they think they can manage the healthcare industry. Government is our worst enemy with Obama at the helm thanks to a lying press along with the Obama biased TV news and the votes of people that have no value added input to our country through only taking value.
Hang on folks the worst is yet to happen and be assured it will with Obama at the helm. By the way one of his cost saving plans is to reduce the COLA (which is already little to nothing) for those on Social Security but of course he didn’t mention it during his campaign. Sooner or later all the lies will rise to the surface and people will begin to understand how they were duped again into voting for him.
