I thought the fact that after the President offered condolences and his shock and horror, etc....that he felt it necessarry to add that he supports people's rights to bear arms was disgusting. What a fucking idiot. That was totally dispicable and inapropriate. Whoever wrote that speech or was pulling his puppet strings should be ashamed of themselves. It made me want to puke.

    well it is about the only constitutional right of ours that he respects.. so i guess i'll give him that.

    Yeah he's got that article of the constitution down. I guess the rest of them are a little too complicated.

    It's like giving a token paragraph of speech because it's expected, then he tosses in a gun commercial right after.

    holy...

    It's so true. I had to do a double take. I was like, "He didn't just say that did he? He didn't just throw the gun nuts a bone after he told victim's families how sorry he was?"

    it's throwing water on the crap they will spew about gun control. if you don't like the american constitution; move to a country with laws you agree with.

    I don't think he disagrees with the constitution just the fact that Bush had to throw in that line seemed extremely inappropriate.

    It's too bad all those people who wanted blacks to be worth more than 2/3 of a person didn't take your advice back in the day. Because clearly a document written in the 18th century NEVER NEEDS TO BE REVISED AT ALL. Even your precious 2nd amendment is just that, an AMENDMENT. Do you know what that means?

    Because he knows, as we all do, that this is going to be used in knee-jerk legislation to try and take more 2nd Amendment Rights away.

    I agree. You know both sides of the issue will use this to try to strengthen their position, which I find disgusting. The senseless death fo so mant people should never be used as a political tool.

    the first 10 ammendments cannot be changed by any method other than the over throw of the government. look up inalienable rights.

    Oh please. Bush comes out and sympathizes with the victim's families and then in the same breath say he supports the rights for people to carry guns!?
    So basically what he's saying is "Sorry your kids got shot, but hey, this is America! People have the right to carry firearms!" :rolleyes:

    You can't be serious cincy!?!
    Did you see/hear what he said. I'm pretty sure that if ANY political figure (Rep or Dem) said what they did, the same comments would be made.

    I'm not one to just go hopping on a Bush-bashing Bandwagon, but what he did/said was fuckin' low...and to use your words...fucking pathetic.

    I agree.

    But what is appropriate to talk about?

    The whole thing is a terrible tragedy. No matter what gets brought up about it is going to remind us of the fucked up events that occured.

    30 some odd kids died...let's talk about Bush....c'mon.

    Here, I'll throw you a bone...what he said was stupid, but hardly a big deal compared to the other news. Who gives a shit...the president supports the 2nd amendment....big fucking deal.
