So what’s the suggestion- that Nugent and Stockman support massacring children? Or that they believe that had the teachers been armed themselves that they could have stopped the madman dead in his tracks?

And so for the 27th time kd I’ll ask my usual question and wait for a credible answer. After the Newtown massacre a number of new gun law proposals were made. Specifically how would any of these new proposals stopped the Newtown massacre had they been law before the massacre? Let’s see if they can give me a good answer on the 27th time kd.

O’Reilly had a great idea on Letterman last night. Federalize gun registration and gun crime.

The registration would make it easier for law enforcement to identify the legal guns. Possession of an illegal gun: minimum 10 years in a Federal pen. Legal gun owners should jump at this. It verifies their “God given” right to own. It also give all law enforcement the ability to send a gang banger with an illegal g to jail.

Any gun crime, with a legal or illegal gun, 10 yrs minimum in a Federal prison. No exceptions. No early parole.

O’Reilly and I think this would impact gun crime while allowing the people that have to have a legal AR-15 to do so.

That silence doesn’t mean that Republican leaders necessarily endorse Stockman’s move or Nugent’s antics. However, it does mean that they lack the political courage and judgment to confront those destructive elements in their own party and to try to distance themselves from it. As a result, their political fortunes will continue to suffer.

First, I did not vote Republican at all in the last election but the comment seems little over the top. One congress man is inviting someone who is fighting deporation. What bothers me more? People being invited to the state of the union who are not legal resident or a nut job rock star. Both sides are just patronizing people to get votes. There are allot of American citizens who would love the opportunity to go to such an event. To be beat out by rock star because he loves guns is annoying but to beat out by someone who is not here legally is a whole new ball game.

The GOP gets stupider and stupider. Nugent admits (without a trace of humility, however) to being a serial pedophile. Two relationships (one with his wife and one with “muse” Pele Massa, who was 17 when they started dating) were ended due to Ted’s infidelity while on the road, often with underage women. But Ted justifies his behavior with one of his trademark so-called funny expressions: “alternative flesh management.” The guy is a scumbag, draft dodger, and a buffoon. Is this the face the GOP wants to put forward? Obviously, they learned nothing form the election.

Mangler,

More liberal ASSumptions again. As I’ve stated numerous times I’ve never owned a gun and probably never will. And if I ever do buy a gun it would just be either a hunting rifle or a very small caliber rifle for shooting bottles or cans on my land out here in the country. I don’t much believe in guns- not for me anyway and I’ll certainly never own a handgun. But that doesn’t mean I don’t believe others should have their 2nd amendment rights protected.

These SOTU speeches are pretty much unwatchable anyway, with all the applause breaks. I really wish that both sides would sit down/shut up unless they hear something that is genuinely moving/righteous.

Problem is, neither side can ever allow themselves to be one-upped by the other side on the perceived righteousness scale.

I agree completely that someone like Nugent should not be invited to support the Second Amendment rights we were granted under the Constitution (an not so we could go hunting, I might add). If the Pub/Cons were going to fight fire with fire, which I do not advocate doing either, then much better to invite someone like the woman who recently hid in her attic with her children, scared out of her wits, but had enough presence of mind to shoot the intruder, who would have done who knows what had she not been armed. And there are many other people with similar stories.

But, I would not do it, because political exploitation is exploitation no matter how you cut it, and exploitation rarely leads to good political process or solutions. Ergo, I think that it is also very wrong that the Prez is bringing Newtown victims/heroes to the State of the Union address. You did not mention anything children being brought in, but some accounts say that they will be. And if so, that is the most despicable kind of political exploitation. If children are brought in, I will be looking forward to you column condemning it in no uncertain terms. If you don’t, then perhaps you will withdraw your comments about Nugent being there as being completely hypocritical.

Granny Godzilla,

We have some common ground on the mentally ill issue. I think its only rational to do whatever we can reasonably do to keep guns from the mentally ill.

The problem I see is that there are millions of legal gun owners who have kids with mild mental illness such as mild depression, anxiety, etc. And for the most part those guns are kept out of the hands of the kids except in these extreme cases like Newtown.

I just don’t think you can legally exclude an adult from owning guns because of a child with a mental illness- especially a mild mental illness like mild depression. And therein lies the problem.

FWIW, the Nuge doesn’t really bother me all that much. He was a blowhard 35 years ago when he was making mediocre hard rock, lecturing his fan base about drugs and basically talking smack to any media guy/gal who’d listen. (I mentioned some time back in these pages, that there’s a cover of Creem magazine where he’s quoted as claiming “I killed two men!”, although oddly enough the printed article, if memory serves, didn’t quite say that.)

That he’s still trying to make a buck by being his usual annoying self in 2013 isn’t exactly surprising.

I’ve actually read enough of his interviews (they’re kind of hard to avoid if you scan the kind of rock-music-press stuff that’s been part of my intellectual diet for way too many years) to find a lot of his schtick somewhat endearing, actually. As a bow hunter, he obviously has a respect for the need for wildlife conservation, and eats what he kills. And I seem to recall he came around to actually liking cats. So there’s that.

The killings by the thugs and TRASH in Chicago are what they are. The rocket-scientist that shot that poor girl was nothing but the scum (smegma) of the earth. That is not a liberal, conservative, or independent statement. It is a fact. And before somebody says “How do you know him” rest assured, I did not know Jeffrey Dahmer, either, but I know that he was scum. Gun control laws have worked well up there, have thay not? Nugent may rant and rave, but he couldn’t kill as many folks as the thugs in Chicago have if he nuked a place. I’m so tired of the Al Sharptons having no solutions, and not wanting to enforce anything up there due to “discrimination” factors, etc. Leave race out of it, and likewise try to solve a problem instead of ranting about guns. How does anyone propose keeping guns out of the hands of these trash-bags up there….new laws? Good night above…..these folks do not respect life anyway, so wtf will a new law mean? Mass shootings, like colorodo, Sandyhook etc. are awful, but you can add up all the numbers and cannot get a good start on the mess that goes on in Chicago, Philadelphia, etc. on a daily basis. New lawas will never have an effect on folks (a very liberal use of the term) like these. The Sandyhook shooter, the colorodo shooter, and others like that are psycopathic loons. The gangs, etc. in Chicago are just cold-blooded killers.

That would because he IS the liberal side. Anybody who claims Obama is a cenrist is just not paying attention. Tonight’s speech is going to be nothing more than yet another campaign speech full of more spending and more freebies to more people designed to get more people on the Obama gravy train. Keep in mind every one of his promises has a price tag behind it somebody has to pay for with a reduction in their paycheck.

Well, when you think about it, all this party fussing is about raising campaign cash. The librul Democrats won’t let the godly Republicans tilt things more toward the rich Job Creators and they hate Obama for it. It’s hard to raise campaign cash if you ain’t done nothing for the people you’re trying to get the cash from. The godly Republicans won’t let the librul Democrats tilt things more toward the welfare bums low income people so they hate the Republicans for keeping them from getting all those votes.

And then you get nuts like this Ted Nugent. He’s rich and wants to be sure he stays that way so he gins up this gun thing to keep people riled up and his name in the news. I expect he don’t give a flying flip about guns but if he shows up on Piers Morgan saying all kind of strange things about gun ownership, people will remember him next time he has a concert in their area.

That’s my opinion and it’s very true.

Have a good p.m. everybody.

Is the Putnam Country Sheriff a patriot ??

Hon. Saxby Chambliss
United States Senate
416 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510

Dear Senator Chambliss,

I write you today at a point in my life where I have grave concerns about the future of our nation. Come this April, I will begin my 40th year in the field of public safety. I have been very fortunate in my career to have worked in almost every aspect of law enforcement, both in rural and urban areas, along with a stint in corporate security for one of the largest banks in the country. I have just been reelected to my fifth term of office, and I serve as the Director of my county’s Emergency Management Agency. I am also the President of the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association, but this letter is written from me individually as the Sheriff of Putnam County and in my capacity as an American citizen.
The recent incident where children and staff were murdered by a deranged individual at the school in Newtown, Connecticut and the many similar incidents that have occurred in the past are horrific tragedies, and they most assuredly warrant measures and policies to prevent such acts in the future. While I may have never had personal experience with an incident of mass murder, I have unfortunately responded to and investigated untold numbers of assaults and murders during my long career. All of those incidents were also tragic and often senseless, but I know that firearms were not the cause of these crimes.
Erroneously, the national media immediately focused on guns as the cause of the crimes at Sandy Hook. In addition, from much of what I have heard and read, it appears Congress seems to be going in that same direction. This is what precipitated my fears for the country. In my county, and in every community where I have served as a police officer, I have found the most patriotic responsible citizens are those who own firearms. These people are the first to stand at attention and pledge allegiance to our flag, the first to bow their heads in prayer, the first to pay their taxes, and the first in line to vote on Election Day. They know the 2nd Amendment of our Constitution, and they know that their right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed upon.
I expect my citizens to defend themselves from harm until we arrive on the scene, and I have a sense of comfort in knowing the vast majority of them are well armed and have the ability to protect themselves. I also find great solace in the fact that they have the ability to come to the aid of me and my deputies should some circumstance warrant it.
It is very clear to me that the public has little faith in most of its elected officials at the present time. Polls related to confidence in Congress glaringly reflect this, and I believe the same attitude trickles down even to the local level. Should Congress enact laws that ban, or even require the registration of firearms, it WILL NOT keep guns out of the hands of criminals. The end result of such legislation will make criminals out of our best citizens, as I am absolutely certain that the vast majority of Georgians WILL NOT surrender any of their firearms, magazines, or ammunition, nor will they comply with any law that mandates they register their weapons with any entity of government.
The functionality of our government is completely dependent upon the majority voluntarily abiding by the law. It is my greatest fear that legislation banning or requiring the registration of guns the public can now legally posses will force our best citizens to a precipice where they will turn their backs to the law. Beyond that point, there will only be a slippery slope where only more laws will be ignored and not complied with.
I find it absolutely incredulous that there seems to be little discussion about the real issues that are at the root of people who commit crimes with firearms. Although a general decline in morality coupled with an insatiable appetite for illicit drugs are contributing factors, I believe the primary causal components of most violent crimes are a combination of mental health issues and our failure to prosecute, punish, and keep recidivist criminals in confinement.
When it comes to mentally deranged people, the State of Georgia has simply abandoned its responsibility to protect them or the public they endanger. I can explain the mental health problem in three sentences. When I went away to college some forty years ago there were about 4 and a half million people living in Georgia and there were 17,000 people institutionalized at Central State Hospital in Milledgeville. Today there are 10 million people in Georgia and there is virtually no one confined in Central State. The sheriffs of Georgia have evolved into being the largest providers of mental health services in the state as a significant proportion of the inmates in our jails suffer from a myriad of mental problems. This shouldn’t be our duty, and it is something we are not equipped nor funded for.
As for the failure to appropriately deal with recidivist criminals, I will offer you just a few recent examples. On December 17, 2012 a young Clayton County Police Officer named Sean Callahan was murdered in the line of duty as he responded to a domestic disturbance call. Tremaine Lebis, the hoodlum who murdered Officer Callahan, was out of prison on parole at the time of the crime. He, of course, had several weapons in his possession (including a so-called dreaded “Assault Rifle”) and had been released from prison early after being convicted of Aggravated Assault in Gwinnett County in 1992 where he brutally shot a man in the head with a handgun. He got 20 years to serve for that crime and escaped while in a prison in Baldwin County in 1995. He got three more years for the Escape charge in Baldwin and was paroled in May 2008. He was to remain under sup ervision of Parole until April 2016.
Lebis was arrested, yet again, in Henry County for Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon and some other charge in April 2011. He pleaded guilty to Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon and False Report of a Crime in November 2011. I don’t know what kind of sentence he received for that conviction, but the Clayton News Daily said he was given credit for time served since May 26, 2011. Nonetheless, Lebis was released on parole yet again on May 21, 2012. His next appearance at the rodeo of crime resulted in the murder of Officer Callahan. If Lebis had not been released on parole in May 2008, Officer Callahan would still be alive. If Lebis had not been released on parole AGAIN in May 2012, Officer Callahan would still be alive. It was already a violation of both state and federal law for Lebis to possess any type of firearm long before he murdered Officer Callahan.
Seven days after the murder of Officer Callahan, an individual named William Spengler shot four firefighters, murdering two of them, in Webster, New York. It now appears he may have also murdered his sister and been responsible for burning seven houses in his neighborhood. He, too, was a convicted felon and had previously served a whopping 17 years in prison for beating his own grandmother to death with a hammer. Again, it was already a violation of both state and federal law for Spengler to possess any type of firearm when he shot and killed the firefighters.
Three days ago Atlanta Police Officer Reggie Robinson was shot in the face while he investigated a complaint regarding illicit drug dealing. The individual who shot him was 20 year old Frank Emmitt Nance. Nance had a pending case of Battery against him from an arrest in April 2012 and was also on probation after being convicted of Aggravated Assault, Terroristic Threats, and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon in Fulton County on January 10, 2012. Nance had been released from state prison on March 28, 2011 after completing an arduous 8 months of incarceration from a previous conviction for Burglary, Theft by Taking, and, of course, yet another count of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Yet again, it was already a violation of both state and federal law for Nance to possess any type of firearm when he shot Officer Robinson.
You might think that the three aforementioned examples are exceptions, but I must unfortunately tell you that similar cases are routine and prolific all over Georgia and throughout the nation. The media very rarely even makes mention of a criminal’s previous arrest record. Last year our General Assembly rammed through legislation that they called “Criminal Justice Reform”. In reality it was nothing more than a statutory degradation of morality, as its primary component did nothing more than change a litany of felony crimes, making them misdemeanors and shifting the burden of cost from the state government back to the counties.
Governor Deal touted that it was simply too expensive to keep criminals in prison because we were mad at them. I believe we should be nothing less than furious with recidivist criminals. The emotional and financial expenses that victims and others are left with in the wake of their incessant pernicious voyages far exceeds the cost of keeping the savages caged and away from society.
Senator, we have a plethora of laws already in existence that can effectively deal with the unlawful possession and use of firearms of any kind by criminals. I would support any legislation that mandated a sure, swift, and severe penalty for any criminal possession and use of a gun, but I will not support, aid, enforce, nor condone, any effort or legislation that will infringe upon the right of a law abiding citizen’s right to bear firearms. You took the same oath as I did, and it was to support and defend our Constitution. I implore you to do so at this crucial point in time.

Sincerely,
Howard R. Sills
Sheriff

“And so for the 27th time kd I’ll ask my usual question and wait for a credible answer. After the Newtown massacre a number of new gun law proposals were made. Specifically how would any of these new proposals stopped the Newtown massacre had they been law before the massacre?”

That strikes me like asking would wearing seatbelts have prevented the driver’s death in a pickup truck that rolled and crushed the roof. Answer is, they wouldn’t. So the solution wasn’t to not institute the seat belt rules. It was to strengthen roof standards for pickups.

So thanks for noting there’s not a one-to-one relationship between the President’s proposals and preventing another Newtown.

So the answer is to require steps that would have prevented Newtown.

But I’d guess if he’d proposed requiring biometric palm scanners to lock out unauthorized uses, there’d be a lot more screaming than what we’ve already heard.

So the gun lobby isn’t interested in real gun control for lawful purposes.

I think there’d be a decent chance. In the future. We’d hear outcries of throttling business profits and too much regulation. Plus there’d be the problem (overlooked by many who cite truly socialized models) that nearly everyone – no matter the income level, pays, oftentimes with little or no subsidies. But as far as really fitting the situation we have here it sounds a better fit than most of the other proposals I’ve heard.

Nope, not really. You see Thulsa, despite your blustering you are really ignorant on the subject. Japan was controlled by their businesses. The Gov’t propped up many of them, not unlike the way France does, with Airbus. They enacted anti competition laws so that foreign goods were not allowed to compete with domestic goods. It’s more complex than that but you have shown you know so little that I don’t want to overwhelm you.

No they didn’t. The whole economic model of Japan was based upon the price per square foot of property in Tokyo. It was a false model and over inflated. It was a house of cards and everyone there pretended that the emperor infact DID have clothes (literary reference, get someone to explain it to you, I don;t know small enough words to get through to you). As to educating ME? Other than showing me that stupidity is boundless, there is very little you can educate me on. You know very little yet speak very much. You were obviously never taught that it is better for people to THINK you are a fool than to open your mouth and erase all doubt.

If you look at the big picture it worked out great for Republicans. They easily kept the house and gained in Governorship’s and state Congressional offices… You may want to research that some before making a stupid comment…..

“You are so right. Switzerland does have a much higher gun ownership and a lower crime rate than the U.S. They have excellent gun laws that we could emulate!”

Swiss gun laws are tied to their military system. No way is this country every going to reduce its defense establishment by about 90 percent, draft nearly everyone with a lifetime reserve commitment and let other countries take care of their own defense,

This entire issue seems like a big nothing.

I suspect, when we look back on this season a few months from now, we will note that this was when the Republicans started moving away from crazy.

It will be a slow process, with some early adopters (Jindal, Christie), and some who may never change (Stockman, et al). But overall, I think the recent election has shown the Republicans that they can move back towards the political center, or double-down on crazy (which hasn’t worked out so well for them, electorally speaking).

Sorry Fred but you won’t find many credible economists that consider Japan to be other than a capitalist nation. That definition I use loosely because true capitalism on this planet hasn’t really been practiced for 100 years ago. What the hell do you think Japan is classified as? Socialist? Puh-leaze. Cease and desist from the silliness before I really lay a hurting on you.

“No they didn’t. The whole economic model of Japan was based upon the price per square foot of property in Tokyo. It was a false model and over inflated. It was a house of cards and everyone there pretended that the emperor infact DID have clothes”

Jeez Fred. Just when I didn’t think you could sound any dumber than when you claimed to have the photographic memory. Sheesh. Let me help you out you waste of oxygen. The real estate bubble is what collapsed the Japanese economy. Sir Templeton saw this coming back in the early 90s. The obscene price of Japanese real estate was at stratospheric levels and wayyyy overpriced. Did your little noggin actually think you could educate me on this matter??? Jeez.

We’re not talking about what caused the Japanese economic collapse dum dum. We’re talking about the failed efforts and failed stimulus to help the economic recover from the collapse. Its 2 different things dum dum. You’re just too damn stupid to discern the effing difference. God help us from roving mindless idiots like yourself. Go back to memorizing the complete high school reading list word for word of hundreds of books you peanut headed ensemble of nature’s carelessness. What a blithering idiot!

Yeah. and your point? (actually more than 200 years ago). 2000 Years ago we wouldn’t be debating about Jesus, we could go to the mountains and see for ourselves. 2000 years ago leading military hardware was a sword and a spear. Refrigeration was unheard of. Horsepower really WAS a horse.

Your point is not well taken because of the hypocrisy of the left and that includes you. I never heard you condemn any left wing person criticize George Bush during the years he was president. Take Benghazi as an example. No demands from the Democrats or the left to get to the truth on what happened and why we were not prepared to deal with it. The Administration thought the American public were stupid enough to swallow the line that “it was just a protest.” Not everyone in the country drinks the kool aid that this administration pours out on a daily basis. You could broaden your perspective if you quit drinking it on a daily basis.

North Korea is an example where direct, tough diplomacy that lays out clear choices to rogue regimes for good and bad behavior can lead to change. When the United States was engaged, the pace of Pyongyang’s development of nuclear weapons was slowed; when we were not, it quickened. While there has been some promising progress, it’s important that all of North Korea’s claims are verified. If they are not, we should move quickly to reimpose sanctions that have been waived, and consider new restrictions going forward. As President, Barack Obama will work with diligence and determination with our friends and allied to end the threat of North Korea and to secure a lasting peace on the Korean peninsula. Presidential candidate, Barack Obama, ca. 2008

@Sam 3:21 p.m.

I am also middle class. What insurance has gone up two years in a row? Are you referring to your health insurance? If so my insurance has gone up every year since I started working 30+ years ago under both Democratic and Republican Presidents and Congresses. For me at least the rate of increase has moderated in the past couple of years. I’m not saying that is a trend but it has for me. Perhaps it is because I am taking good care of myself.

Which of your taxes have gone up each year the past two years? There have been no increases in federal taxes in the past two years until the expiration of the Social Security “tax holiday” that ended on 01 January 2013. Congress was never going to extend that holiday even had a Republican tax plan been enacted. That was always intended to be temporary. And unless you are a high wage earner your federal marginal rate has not increased either.

All political parties pass away in time, but I just never expected this to happen so quickly. So long, GOP!
