Sister of Newtown victim makes gun-control plea in letter to Obama(FFS!)

[aGameOfThrones]

The tragic shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., have increased the calls for gun control around the nation and in Congress, but perhaps none have been as poignant as that from 10-year-old Natalie Barden, sister of victim Daniel Barden.

Natalie's letter, written to President Barack Obama and read by Anderson Cooper on air, voiced her clear and thoughtful belief that guns did not belong in the hands of most civilians:


My name is Natalie Barden and I wanted to tell the president that only police officers and the military should get guns. If people want to do it as a sport than they could go to a shooting range and the guns would not be able to leave there.

Natalie, a member of the school newspaper, originally had meant to hand the president the letter while he was in Newtown comforting the grieving families, but became too intimidated to give it to him. A friend of the Barden family, Lillian Bittman, spoke with Cooper, who was also in Newtown, and asked him to read it on air. He obliged.

Pure, unadulterated propaganda.

The media has absolutely no shame. Here they are using a little girl who's sibling was just killed.

The media is such shit. Look at this BS, claiming a rifle was used in the shootings. http://news.yahoo.com/history-rifle-used-sandy-hook-massacre-182909380--politics.html

All of our national policies should be based on the sentiments of grieving ten-year old children.

Translation: Natalie's parents tried to make her give it to Obama, but even she was appalled, and refused.

Why do these people always forget the fact shit like this happens because people are unarmed. The school was completely unarmed? How much more gun control does she want?

That's what the medical examiner said. They asked him because they thought the AR15 was found later in the trunk of the car. That's another one of those "Huh?" things that bothers me.

I guess she thinks, if guns were banned, they would magically be unavailable to even the criminals.

My go to response: "You mean like how no one is able to get illegal drugs these days?"

LOL, they just go to the drug store to get drugs.

Ohhh... illegal drugs.

Yeah.

Then can we get a 10 year old Sec of State instead of John Kerry?

I don't think the child is a dumbass, as she's only 10 years old and most likely manipulated. The real dumbasses are the adults who come up with the same ideas as this 10 year old girl.

Pretty sad statement right there. I mean, what would the founders tell this little girl after hearing such statement?

Yahoo News is continually some of the absolute worst "news" that's available. We really shouldn't even be giving them traffic. Boycott 'em.

Propaganda pieces like the aforementioned are commonplace there.
