Nancy Pelosi coins a new term for gun control
2013-01-09
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] House Minority Leader Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the the Socialist paradise of San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
, D-Calif., has adopted a new term for gun control, "gun violence prevention," in hopes that the euphemism will make it easier to marshal public opinion in favor of new gun laws as well as other policies designed to prevent shootings.

"If we come out of the Newtown experience and all we do is talk about it and not have a result," Pelosi told The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
, "that would be a dereliction of duty on the part of us in public office. We must find a place where we can come to agreement on this."

The paper added that "Pelosi said Democrats are no longer talking about gun control but refer instead to what she calls gun violence prevention -- an effort by Democrats and their allies to find a less politically charged term, one that suggests a broader range of approaches beyond simply gun regulation."

#19  Because we the overwhelming majority of gun owners whom are law-abiding US Citizens clearly won't their weapons for ...

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [NewsBusters.org]KRAUTHAMMER: "CHINA IS ARMING ITSELF TO EXPEL THE US FROM ITS COASTAL WATERS IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC".

Not "East Asia" Region, but WESTPAC Region.

* SAME > CHINA DECLARES PLAAF READY TO ENGAGE THE JASDF IN AERIAL COMBAT | [Global Times] JAPAN'S TRACER BULLETS WILL BRING WAR CLOSER.

IMO is likely China's response to new PM Abe's move to extend Japan's air defense zone over the China-claimed Senkakus - YONAGUNI???

* FREEREPUBLIC > [Investor Business Daily]EGYPTIAN PRESS CONFIRMS WASHINGTON INFILTRATED BY ISLAMISTS.

Like the alleged near-total infiltration of the TALIBAN, etal. MilTerr Groups in both the PAKISTAN ARMY + AGHANISTAN NATIONAL ARMY.

DPK POSTER = opined that would like to be first to run for President of the SHARIA REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES.

D *** NG IT, I THINK "PEOPLE'S REVOLUTIONARY ISLAMIST REPUBLIC OF AMERIKA" SOUNDS BETTER, DON'T YOUSE!?

[NOSTRADAMUS' "PIRA" here].

OOOOOOOOO, you just know the rampaging NOT-WILD-GEESE Wild Turkey Jihadi Birds in the NE USA are NOT going to like the name!

#16  That's why so many politicians hate the Constitution.

#12  I was discussing online with someone yesterday the idiocy of "gun free" zones. I went to wikipedia to look for a list of shootings at schools and was amazed at how many more shootings occur than most people remember (Pearl, MS; AR; Columbine, CO; VA Tech; North IL Univ; and now Newtown, CT). However, there are so many more shootings at schools that result in no deaths or 1 death (suicides), etc. that your average person wouldn't even know of. Just goes to even further prove that we must treat the perp, not the implement he/she uses to commit the crime.....

Just look at the table at the bottom of linky

#8  Not only does everyone else know it, they consciously or unconsciously shun you; they set you apart. Not a spoken thing (that I know of) just something that seems to happen. There is a lot more to this, but enough for now.

#7  There really is a thing in human nature ( its built in ) that makes it very hard to DO a killing of another human being. Even when you are combat trained to do it most men are not only reluctant to kill, most simply can't.

The very truth is that it is six men out of a hundred in a company and two or three men in any platoon who do 85% of the killing. Half a dozen men in any hundred soldiers do 85% of the killing. The trick is to find those six men and send the others to the rear to work in logistics. Then take good care of the six and use them.

Even the men who do the killing don't know who they are until they just wake up one morning and realize that they and maybe one other man have been the only people in the platoon who have a dozen kills. And it dawns on them that it isn't a coincidence, and everybody else knows it too.

#4  The many pleasures of family, home life, and leisure must be a terribly painful bore to her. To continue the D.C. treadmill and deny yourself and your prodigy at her age and financial ability can only be the result of the intoxication of power. Nothing short of absolute pure insanity. I do feel sorry for the poor woman. No, on second thought, I do not.

#1  Every time they say 'Gun Violence Prevention' we should state that categorically that it is a *LIE*. Strict Gun Control and the gun-free zone did nothing to prevent the 'Gun Violence' in Newtown --- except perhaps made it worse!
