Three things I liked about

Three things I liked about the President's remarks last night:

*he could have struck an ostentatiously defiant and angry pose, and chose not to do that at this time

*the unhurried nature of what he did. He was talking to the country, of course, but I thought in his demeanor and pacing he also was plainly speaking to the people at that service and in that community. My initial reaction was that I thought the speech might have been a tad long. But on thinking more about what was important for him to do with it, I now appreciate what he chose to do.

*framing the issue as "are we doing all we can to keep our children safe?", the answer clearly being "no". For many of us, this awareness or belief adds to the anguish we feel when these things happen. If something good comes out of this, yet another tragedy, it will be because enough leaders and citizens likewise, on the deepest human levels, decide they agree, and this time, finally and too late for so many, act. If we do, it will not be the first time the children brought the adults together, for a moment at least, to do right.

I'd be checking the NRA's

I'd be checking the NRA's membership list for that police chief's name. Seriously.

OH I AM JUST A COLLECTOR!

What the hell does that mean?

Oh and Feinstein gave me some hope.

Her friend in the House will introduce the same legislation at the same time.

So...we shall see.

Except that we must find better ways to save our babies!

Now the Indiana Police Chief says he thinks the 60 year old guy that told his wife he would set her on fire and then massacre kids at the elementary school she worked at, 1000 feet from their home, was 'just bluffing'.

He also said most of the 47 guns in the man's house were 'collector guns' I guess like we all probably have around, you know, 20 or 30 guns here and there collected over the years.

I have seen enough of the speeches, the candles and heard enough of the prayers for the dead and bereaved. It's far past time to at least reinstate the Clinton Assault Weapons Ban although I doubt it will ever happen.

I just got done watching the service and President Obama. Obviously he has had enough of the lack of progress with gun control laws and made a vow to do whatever he could.

It was such a senseless and horrific event, all those children and others gone in such a terrifying manner.

He was so right, we are not doing near enough to protect our children and all.

I was okay until they showed pictures of the victims, one little girl was missing her two front teeth and I just started crying, thinking of that Christmas song.

Thanks for the post. I hope we all will now be kinder, more caring and considerate of each other. If only .............................

Good to see TV is moving on and it's not the Mooselims we supposed to be ascared of now. It's us. Real 'muricans and their guns. Like the 47 guns of the guy in Indiana.

I reckon Republicans won't be waving their guns around for a while anyway.
