From the put a cop in every school fund? vinylcarwraps23

So it's okay to protect banks, financial organizations even the president with armed individuals but not our children? Can't make the connection there. Offshore January 17, 2013 9:14 a.m. Report abuse

I never see an armed guard at my bank, ever. Anyhow what is putting a cop in every school going to do? Nothing. Spending is your friend all of a sudden.

Obama added, "I'll put everything that I've got into this."

Too bad he doesn't set the same standard to run the country and setting budgets and deficit reduction. Enforcing laws we already have would be a great start to gun control.

ATTENTION LIBERALS. Imagine if you will: It's October of 2001. The country is still grieving the horrific events of 9/11. George Bush decides to announce/sign the Patriot Act, and uses children as a backdrop, reading letters they "wrote" to say how much they want protection from terrorists. What's your reaction?

Appears to me based upon all the comments, no one trusts the government. Congress has the absolute lowest approval ratings, refuses to cut spending and inacting knee jurk reaction laws.

That probably explains why everyone is so concerned about the proposed gun laws.

If Thomas Jefferson was still around, he would tell us all "I told you so" Now what are you going to do about it

Oh brother! Some of the comments on here make me wonder if a good percentage of liberals actually have a functioning brain.

wow we have an extra 500 million for this? Cant feed the kids or teach them or clothe them but lets pull this out of our tails. Good reason to raise the debt. The guns they speak of protect us from the same people putting these rules in place.

What the liberal voter does not understand is that this ban will not keep this type of weapon out of the criminal or insane person's hands. PERIOD!
