"… and not some political knee-jerk response.”
So, attempting to stop the next gun tragedy is a knee jerk response?
Got it.
At least you didn’t say it was too soon to talk about gun violence.

Probably doesn’t take a lot of effort on her part.

and I think our focus should be on supporting that community and sharing in their anguish and their grief and not some political knee-jerk response.”

If it’s too soon to talk about gun violence, it’s definitely too damn soon to exploit the murder of 12 people by putting up yard signs.

Yep being happy that some insane gun freak wants one of her yard signs on the backs of 12 dead people does not constitute a political knee jerk response. That’s just “normal.”

“In fact, just right before I got on with you, a lady sent me a note and said, ‘Thank you so much for, you know, sticking by your position and not wavering on our Second Amendment rights, and please can I get a yard sign?’”

Could we have an independent handwriting analysis comparison of the “note” and the handwriting of Vogel and her staff? Assuming they can even produce the so-called “note”?

Dear gun-lovers: how does it feel, to regard your precious ‘rights’ as being more important than the lives of all the people whose lives get sacrificed on your account? More important than the millions of school children who get terrorized by ‘active shooter’ drills?

You make me regret that I don’t believe that there’s a Hell for you to burn in.

‘Thank you so much for, you know, sticking by your position and not wavering on our Second Amendment rights, and please can I get a yard sign?’”

Okay, cool. I am open to suggestions for what should be put on your yard sign.

Can anyone here help her out?

That’s creepy.

I think our focus should be on security.

Has enough time elapsed in Connecticut yet to talk about the children murdered in Newtown? Is 7 years enough?
