15 year old girl leaves anti-gun politicians speechless

[youtube:1yakmpgn][/youtube:1yakmpgn]

She's only 15 but she makes a good argument. :thumbsup:

How did it leave anti-gun politicians "speechless"? The video ended as she was done talking.. So, if they did have a response it didn't give us their response(s)... What a crock... The politicians weren't "speechless"...Their comments are on the cutting-room floor. So, we have a 15-year-old that recited the standard NRA talking-points, (which apparently weren't enough to sway the vote in New York, Colorado, Connecticut; and apparently aren't working too well in Maryland either.) B.F.D.

However, the MarylandMinuteMen.org, who sponsored the video, announced that the following people were unable to attend:

"We regret their absence, but we understand the extenuating circumstances...."

This just in:

Maryland Gun Control Bill Passed By General Assembly, Headed To Governor Martin O'Malley

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland's already-strong gun laws will become among the strictest in the nation with a measure passed by the General Assembly Thursday, sending the bill to the Democratic governor who proposed the legislation in the aftermath of December's massacre at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school.

The state Senate voted 28-19 for final passage, agreeing to a number of changes the House of Delegates approved Wednesday.

The measure would require people who buy a handgun to submit fingerprints to state police, bans 45 types of assault weapons, and limits gun magazines to 10 bullets. It also addresses firearms access for the mentally ill.

Maryland will become the first state in nearly 20 years to require potential handgun buyers to submit fingerprints to state police. Only five other states have a similar requirement: Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey.

Gun control advocates say the fingerprinting requirement will help keep guns away from criminals, because it will make people reluctant to buy firearms for those who are not allowed to have them.

Within a couple of hours, one of the Maryland state legislators (presumably one of the members of MarylandMinuteMen.org) was on a Facebook page calling for the formation of a "Constitutional Defense Force (read: armed militia)" that should be prepared for armed rebellion...(Later retracted because "This page is being monitored by law-enforcement.")

Yessiree... You can't make this stuff up...

And I'm glad all those "speechless" politicians got the message...and voted FOR this package of bills...which is headed to the Governor's office for signing.

If a fire starts in your house just call 911 instead of putting it out with a fire extinguisher.
If an armed intruder breaks into your house to do harm to your family, just call 911 instead of taking the intruder out with a handgun.

Liberals are so stupid. (And some liberals are full of hate.)

Which, of course, has NOTHING to do with the measures that were passed...

However, you are correct--I WOULD take out the intruder with a handgun.

And most probably cream your panties while you are doing so.

So it's ok if liberals have guns to defend themselves with hand guns but not ok for anyone else to defend themselves with any other weapons they might have on hand? Divide by zero; makes as much sense.

"We regret their absence, but we understand the extenuating circumstances...."

Oh god, someone grab me the tissue box. Emotionally driven response. Nice. And the fifteen year old GIRL schooling on guns? Females in general are emotional WRECKS, and she stepped up to the plate and shoved the stereotype back into everyone's face. I like it. One less person to use as a prop for gun control.

Yeah, and I particularly enjoyed the part of the video where she "left the politicians speechless"... Perhaps after the standard recitation of the NRA talking points, you can point out that part of the video to me?

Hey LJ,

Can you list the names of the people that died on the day of Newtown in car accidents, how about the names of the people that died in this country due to auto/train accidents on that day. You know trains, that always have gates, things that are more effective than unenforceable laws and yet not 2 hours goes by without a car and a train meeting in this country, not 2 hours. Approximately 120 people died in car to car or car to people accidents the day your smaller group of first class citizens were killed in a random event. One Hundred and Twenty. Would you like to look at the data since then about guns, I think you have posted about that too, but compared to bad drivers and their cars (and countless other risks that are more easy to control), guns kill zero and those that shoot them kill few.

Someone called me yesterday on one of my 800 lines. Wrong number, but he starting going off (I attract the crazies because I am willing to listen) and he went off on iondine and florine and then his biggest topical rant....his fellow democrats that no matter what happens, they will not think about issues or debate them. He made it clear he was gay and a democrat, guy from Tenn, but told me his life story. I wished I remembered the word he used for them, it was not good, but I liked that "Democrats" had made up such a word. He was essentially describing you, someone who cannot falter in her support of the red socks, even if they go down and gang rape a local nursery school. And certainly after it happens, will not even acknowledge that the elementary school even existed and will mention something about a hot watery beverage because they cannot muster up a debate. The word was so good. But in the end I only had one statement. Either you are a democrat or they are, but not both of you. When you disagree with someone on most issues, they are not in the same group. A bunch of Canadians getting together and playing for the Bruins are not a New England team, even if the sports nuts would kill a fan of another team over a lost game. He kept going on and on and eventually I had to plead with him to not make me hang up on him....because I had to go train an employee for a job I had managed to create by increasing sales in my business despite your constant attempts to regulate away business in place of universal govt employment with the money coming from lalaland (or govt prison slave mines or something).

All you have to do to understand this thread is read the HuffPost one day. Lot of good info in there, but the Article titles are more misleading than any other I have seen. Something tells me you read this website, so you may understand. Drudge does it to, but Huffpost has be going back and wondering if I clicked the right article about 1/2 times.

Again, why are the lives of those that are shot with guns more valuable than others? If you are going to deny this is not public policy or your own push, on what basis would you deny such a thing given you and the govt focus screams this? Why not focus on the long list of things we could do to avoid deaths with far less effort than these ineffective random state gun laws in states with open boarders (essentially taking the effort we are making as saving MORE lives). I fear the end result of the feel gooders is that we will have closed boarders, you just wait and reread this post the first time you go through a state to state checkpoint that is not in CA (the only state where I have gone through such a thing, a number of times). State gun or drug laws do not work without closed boarders. I guess in reality with this and other things, why you are so willing to make second class citizens via regulation - in your world the guy killed by another means is second class to the person shot with a gun. What's next, beating gays or wait, your style would be to mandate that everyone beat gays? I thought we regulate to avoid this not to create it.
