\"NewImage\"<\/p>\n

Got about 1\/2 inch of snow while I was away. <\/p>\n

It was snowing when I came home last night & it looks like it snowed off and on all night. I can’t see my tire tracks anymore…<\/p>\n

I got in the door, was greeted by the dogs who told me how awful it was that I’d been gone and then demanded treats to atone for their suffering… Any excuse for treats is alright by them.<\/p>\n

I started coughing and hacking yesterday morning. Indicating that this damn cold is moving into my chest and well, by time I got home I was feeling pretty poorly.<\/p>\n

\"NewImage\"<\/p>\n

And why the FUCK does it always take 2 1\/2 hours to get home from Orange County? What the hell?  There were no accident’s, or any other issues other than stupid people playing Indy 500 pace cars<\/em><\/p>\n

If these morons would simply remember slower traffic to the right we’d all get to our destinations in a timely fashion. Yeah I was a little cranky. I left OC at 3:30 and didn’t get home until 6:00.<\/p>\n

I was just in time for the Nightly News.<\/p>\n

My goodness! <\/p>\n

All those poor folks in Connecticut…<\/p>\n

At the risk of doing the same thing I’m about to accuse someone of…<\/p>\n

The gun control advocates jumped right on the band wagon.<\/p>\n

Pardon my bluntness but the shell casings aren’t even cold. You’d have thought that the gun control people would have at least waited a day or two before firing up their agenda and using this tragedy as a plank.<\/p>\n

Sheesh!<\/p>\n

I have to point out, all it would have taken is one teacher, janitor, or administrator at the school who had a concealed carry permit, and the knowledge to properly use a weapon to have minimized this tragedy.<\/p>\n

The perpetrator in this didn’t own the guns, his mother did. <\/p>\n

The only way gun control can ever work is if you literally take guns … ALL guns… away from every single person in this country. To do that you have to perform a house to house search, and then illegal search and seizure of \"NewImage\"property.<\/p>\n

Even after this blatant violation of American rights, you’d still have a gun problem. Because our government won’t  be able to secure the borders and smuggling operations will start immediately.<\/p>\n

Consider Chicago. They have some of the most stringent anti-gun laws in the country. You’re not allowed to have a gun in Chicago, to put it plainly.<\/p>\n

Yet Chicago has one of the highest number of murder by gunshot rates in the country.  Clearly zero gun policies and insanely stringent laws don’t have the deterrent effect they’ve been touted as having.<\/p>\n

Before we go nuts about implementing gun control in the wake of this tragedy. Let us take a moment to look at all sides. Let’s make an informed and well reasoned decision based in fact not the emotionally charged opinions of the moment.<\/p>\n

Most of all, let’s let these families grieve and bury their children in peace, lets not use these people or their tragedy to increase ratings or push political agendas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
