You keep saying that and it is true. By the time conservatives had the opportunity to vote in the primary Mitt had already won the nomination. Guess we thought having someone who had a chance to fix the economy was more important at the time, since both Mitt and Barack said they would not take our guns even though their past words and actions said otherwise.

What actually happened is Lanza had an Bushmaster XM-15 and 2 handguns in the school (a sig and a glock). And a shotgun in the trunk of his car.
But one set of nuts thinks he didn't use the Bushmaster despite the autopsys clearly showing he did, and the fact it was found in the school, all because they found a month-old report back when everyone was still confused on details that said the XM-15 was left in the trunk.
Problem with that is- there was another confused report that the gun in the trunk was an XM (before it became clear there was one in the school) and the conspiracy nuts THEN pounced on that... because there's a video SHOWING them taking the gun out of the trunk. And it's VERY clearly a SHOTGUN.
Because that's what was in the trunk.
Here's a link with the video- http://www.patriotthoughts.com/2013/01/10/rifle-found-in-lanzas-trunk-not-a-bushmaster/

That sheriff that said "No rights are absolute" had better look for another job. He's not going to get reelected. And Obama just ensured that a Republican will win the presidency in 2016 with his assaults on so many of our fundamental rights. Anyone who doesn't see that gun control is not about preventing violence but is all about imposing tyranny is not qualified to have an opinion.

The big Gub'ment conspiracy theorists need to go outside and get a good dose of reality. Flow Easy .....You do know that by law there not required to defend you or I? Ever heard the term, "where's a cop when you need one", there's a reason for that.....just sayin'

No we haven't. LEOs have no obligation to protect you, so sayeth the supreme court even.

People expecting the police, who won't be there until after a shooter has done his work, to protect them is part of the problem.
So where are your meetings? What is the plan? If you're well-regulated, there must be some organization. Otherwise, it is not a militia at all but an angry armed rabble. Flow Easy
Again, the supreme court disagrees with you... and their opinion is a lot more important in this case.
