Now here’s something that neither the gun grabbers or the media have time for: the facts.

Glenn Reynolds wants to have a real national conversation on guns.

Don’t hold your breath. And of course, the president demonstrates the magical thinking of the gun-control crowd:

Finally, a president who has the guts to come out against the murder of children. Not only that, but he is prepared to confront those who, for murky but clearly frivolous reasons, tolerate violence, oppose tragedy prevention, and shrink from saving innocent lives. Because “politics” cannot be allowed to obstruct the solutions that every decent, right-thinking person favors.

Such as? Well, the president did not say. Neither did New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Friday, when he scolded Obama for not taking a firmer stand against the wanton slaughter of elementary school students. “We’re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this,” the president had said, “regardless of the politics.” Bloomberg was unimpressed:

Calling for “meaningful action” is not enough. We need immediate action. We have heard all the rhetoric before. What we have not seen is leadership—not from the White House and not from Congress. That must end today.

In Bloomberg’s view, then, we need action that is not only meaningful but also immediate. Through leadership. By the White House as well as Congress.

What disgusting, pathetic hacks.

It’s past time to put an end to “gun-free” zones.

Also, what can we do to stop massacres? Disarming the law abiding is exactly the opposite of what we need to do.
