Despicable: Biden uses Sandy Hook’s ’20 beautiful babies’ in push for gun control

Mar. 21, 2013 1:23pm Meredith Jessup

In case you thought there were at least some lows politicians wouldn’t stoop to in pushing their agenda, consider this:

Vice President Biden gave an impassioned plea for Congress to double down on new gun-control measures, including an assault weapons ban, by suggesting the laws could have prevented some of the deaths in Newtown, Mass. (sic)

“For all those who say we shouldn’t and can’t ban assault weapons,” Biden said, also mentioning limiting the capacity of ammunition magazines. “How can they say that? Take a look at those 20 beautiful babies.”

Biden’s remarks came as he met today in New York City with Mayor Michael Bloomberg and family members of those lost in last December’s Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. He went on to say that if the legislation currently being debated in Congress could have saved just one life, it would be worth the new restrictions for gun owners.

“Think about Newtown,” Biden said. “Think about how many of these children or teachers may be alive today had [shooter Adam Lanza] had to reload three times as many times as he did.”

Whats despicable is how EVERYONE says that kid killed 26 victims. It was 27 victims, and to anyone who believes otherwise, go kill yourself because you don’t count either.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE PHONY JOE BIDEN THE FOLLOWING!

“WHAT ABOUT THE 3,5000 BEAUTIFUL UNBORN BEING MURDERED PER DAY BY THE
“WEAPON OF MASS DISTRUCTION” CALLED “PRO-CHOICE”?????????
“IF THESE LIBERAL HYPOCRITS GAVE A “REAL DAMN” ABOUT SAVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN THEY WOULD “BAN ABORTION”!

“THEY USE THE FRONT/SMOKESCREEN/PHONY LIE OF WANTING TO SAVE LIVES TO PUSH/FURTHER THEIR GUN CONTROL AGENDA!

HERE IS THEIR REAL AGENDA:

so many ways to answer this… where to go first… how about the fact that no “assault weapons” were used to kill those kids? How about the Dems not using dead people to further their agenda? How about the fact that according to the FBI, medical malpractice is the number one killer in this country? Where’s the outrage over that?

  The people were given all they need to see that SH was a total
  manipulation of the scenario. I have certainly seen (and saved off)
  enough video to convince myself and anyone else the Admin. took
  total control of the release of information about this. An excuse was
  desperately needed to get the gun-ban machine going, and Obama
  seized on it. No internal video from the school ??? Hmmm.
  (Might show Lanza NOT carrying a ‘long weapon’, and might
  also show he was not alone).
  In an interview by Katie Couric with the wife who arrived at the school
  shortly after 9:30, she stated that the black sedan in the drop-off
  area had “all 4 doors open, and several black sweatshirts lying around”.
  That video is out there, recorded for all to see. Yet, the helicopter shots we all
  saw show the sedan, with the DOORS CLOSED. (But, the sweatshirts
  can still be seen lying there…). Just how cold was it that morning?
  Did Lanza need 3-4 sweatshirts himself?? And WHO messed with
  that car ?? That’s evidence, isn’t it? Inquiring minds want to know.
  My guess is that the school HAS video, probably even out to the
  parking lot. But, that video would probably not match the Govt
  storyline – so we will never see it. At least until the Admin has had
  time to photo-shop each frame, to make sure the new video fits
  their story.
  This was a monumental manipulation of facts, IMHO.

This really isn’t news…the left has been standing on the graves of those dead children SINCE THE VERY DAY IT HAPPENED in order to confiscate or ban weapons held by law abiding citizens

Biden is an idiot…and he is dispicable to bring up the victims of the Sandy Hook tragedy to advance his anti-Constitutional agenda.

Does he REALLY want to bring up babies? I will show you babies….read this article and look at the pictures. All of you so-called “pro-choice” advocates I dare you to read this article, and the associated pictures and then defend your baby killing pro-choice agenda.

LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!

Yes, think of all those beautiful babies.

On the same day that the Sandy Hook killer took the lives of 20 innocent American children, one U.S. corporation took the lives of 915 innocent American children–45 TIMES MORE than the Sandy Hook killer–and they do this each and every day. In 2011, Planned Parenthood took the lives of 333,964 innocent American children. Where’s the outrage?

So, to save one life, you would turn millions of your countrymen into outlaws? For no other reason than owning a certain firearm, or component thereof, you make them into a criminal? I don’t know whether they are totally disconnected from reality, or just that stupid. I have to wonder, how exactly did with these idiotic ideas become the intellectuals of our society?

Worse yet, how would banning those weapons have saved anyone? Colt .45 uses a 7 round magazine and was military standard for years, a shotgun would have utterly devastated targets in a close in environment like that. Really how are they allowed to get away with being this stupid?

And before someone starts into “well that’s just the same thing with drugs…” no, it isn’t, drugs inspite of arguments to the contrary are not protected under the Constitution, or the interpretations thereof under the Supreme Court.

  As Plato said,
  
  “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”
  
  Never sit down or shut up. Keep them on the run.
