Yeah and it only took a half dozen or so to do it!
However, your first response left a lot to be desired. You demontrate a blind spot when it comes to escessive violence in games. The escalation of game graphic violence is going to draw a political response just as it did with assault arms Minors buying and immersing in games that glorify violence andt the despersonalization of other human beings. All the game industry had done is use the old three monkeys -see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil since Sandy Hook. Violence in modern games is a serious issue and deserves airing but nobody wants to take a litte heat.
So that's been addressed by the POTUS, right? Same with hollywood?
Why wouldn't it say police officer?
Your in Madison Wi the deer hunting capital of WI and I would bet almost 80% of homes have the weapons we are talking about. Do you feel unsafe, are you willing to make all the people we are talking about that have never been in any trouble ever law breakers?
In November 2004, six people were killed when 35-year-old Hmong immigrant Chai Vang shot eight people while deer hunting in northern Wisconsin.
Here, SRO's are uniformed city police officers that are assigned to the school. Handle security, traffic duty, etc. It's a full time job by a regular cop in a regular squad car. Instead of driving to the station in the morning, he just drives to the school. I know some, and they are generally the older, experienced guys.
Not a cut to the guys that do it, but it's not quite the normal routine of a regular patrolman. However, they have to attend all sporting events as well, so not just the 8-3 type hours.
Wisconsin has also had six mass shootings in the last 8 years. I cringed when I read this line from an article after reading your post.

Some in Wisconsin just might feel safer.
The pro-gun I've always seen are basically of the view that
1) Do not limit my access to anything because I'm not a homicidal nut case
2) Limit access to homicidal nutcases
Every time a crazy fuck does something crazy it threatens access to weapons by the non-crazies.
Most of what I saw on Obama's list seems like a decent idea. I have no idea how much of it, if any of it, will truly help, but seriously there really are no major penalties for straw purchases? Shameful. IMO, you're an arms trafficker if you're knowingly buying a gun for somebody who would fail a background check and that shit must be punished harshly.
What isn't on his list, which is less likely to help, is banning weapons based on how they look or how many rounds in a mag. He does want congress to do this, though. It's unlikely to do anything at all.
Ensuring background checks are done on all legal gun purchases certainly seems like it would limit access to guns to crazies only, since the majority of gun murders are by people who didn't even get it legally (I think I saw that pie chart on wiki).
What he's outlined I don't think is a problem for pretty much all gun owners. What he wants to do (limit AR and mags) is, and it won't help.
The research is a good idea, knowledge is power and research should always be expanded in important issues.
Excellent.Yep same as the evil rock music (80's) and rap music today

One good I can see of this: will Call of Duty finally get shit canned? God we can only hope. Time to make some other types of video games again yay! Think anybody remembers how to make anything other than a first person military shooter?
The left bashes the NRA for saying "Good Guy with a gun" but then praises Obama for using one of it's suggestions.
Why didn't he do these things 4 years ago instead of waiting till now and standing on the graves of children to do them? Could it be that he wanted to wait till after his election? Could it be that he was a bit worried that a push for these gun control items might cost him and his political allies an election? Could it be that this is/was a cynical political ploy?
Why yes, yes it is and it's pretty routine for Obama and his lickspittle supporters to act this way.
I see they balanced the sexes and races of the children, but they did not balance the sexes of the parents, 3 mothers and 1 father? White house staff is slipping.

I don't see anything in the list that takes rights away from law abiding citizens.
They seem sensible to me and should have been enacted long ago.
I wish he would do more stuff like this on other issues.
America has been doomed since 1777.Nooooo, America is doomed.
haha
