Liberals Want to Exploit The Shootings for Political Gain and Gun Control – As Usual
Dem Congressman: We Must “Exploit” Elementary School Massacre For Political Gain…
Shameless.
(Washington Times) — A veteran Democratic lawmaker believes the nation will go along with stronger gun control laws if President Obama “exploits” the Newtown, Conn., tragedy and nudges Congress to action.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who represents portions of New York City, said he was encouraged by Mr. Obama’s statement on Friday afternoon that the mass shooting, which claimed the lives of 20 young children, requires “meaningful action” by Congress, but hopes those words turn into concrete legislation.
“These incidents, these horrible, horrible incidents … are happening more and more frequently. And they will continue to happen more and more frequently until someone with the bully pulpit, and that means the president, takes leadership and pushes Congress,” Mr. Nadler said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” with Ed Schultz.
Mr. Nadler was asked whether the Newtown tragedy could be the turning point in many Democrats’ longstanding struggle to enact stronger gun laws.
“I think we will be there if the president exploits it, and otherwise we’ll go on to the next” incident, Mr. Nadler said.

It goes over the heads of liberals that CT is a very liberal state that already is very much anti-2nd Amendment.
Disarming law abiding Americans so they cannot defend themselves is consistent with the regime’s marxist/islamic agenda. We already have socialized medicine (with imported muslim doctors on the way), nationalized banking and automotive industries, and our freedom of speech is being taken away from us.
The CT school tradgedy is heartbreaking but is it not hypocritical to exploit the tradgegy to attack our 2nd Amendment rights while voting for brutal ABORTION ON DEMAND!?
