    For what?  Getting shot with a gun in America is the exact same
    statistical deal as getting hit by lightning or eaten by a shark, ten
    or twelve thousand people a year out of 250 million, and half of them
    are suicides.  When are you going to have a million mom march against
    shark attacks?

    This is a sign of the quality of our education system. A few ding-bats
    becomes a million. If six show up in DC wold it be a Billion?

    are you saying that each year, ten to twelve thousand american are hit
    by lightening or eaten by sharks each year?  Woo….there must be a
    hell of a lot of fat sharks hovering off the coastlines of the
    US……

    Here we have the politics of sensation.  Why should grown men and women pay
    any attention to what a few thousand people organized to focus on a single
    issue have to say???  Sure, we should look at their arguments and supporting
    evidence and consider it.  

    But why should be take the sensationalism of a big old march as some sort
    of proof that these people are right?  The Communists and the Nazis had lots
    of big marches – did this prove they had the best policies?

    The fact that the liberal mainstream media will make this into a major event
    just shows their bias.  Do you think the media will spend equal time on
    counter arguments?

    This just shows how shallow politics has become in America on many issues.

    I think the Federalist hit the nail on the head last week:

    …And a final note about that federal agent whose MP-5 was pointed in
    Elian’s direction during the raid, Janet Reno claims, "If you look
    carefully [the agent's] finger was not on the trigger and the safety
    was engaged." One might infer from her comment that guns, even when
    pointed at 6-year-olds, are safe in the hands of responsible users.
    But we have been told by Clinton/Gore — ad nauseum — that America
    has a "gun problem." Maybe it is, as we have argued all along, a "user
    problem," ergo, primarily the culture of disenfranchised sociopathic
    criminals spawned by years of liberal social policies.

    Speaking of Sociocratic spawn, at the National Zoo’s eighth annual
    African-American family celebration, a black sixteen-year-old shot up
    a group of black children. Less than an hour after that tragedy, Al
    "I-Don’t-Use-Tragedies-To-Promote-My-Political-Agenda" Gore announced
    the shootings at a star-studded Democratic fund-raiser in New York
    City: "We really have to have mandatory child safety trigger locks,"
    Gore told the crowd. "Trigger locks"?  Washington, D.C., has the
    strictest "gun control" laws in the nation, which apparently failed to
    prevent this shooting. What difference, exactly, would child safety
    locks have made? (The Village glitterati anted up $2 million for
    Gore’s campaign.)

    "Tragedies like this aren’t about gun control — they’re about a
    breakdown in society," says Rep. J.C. Watts. "This culture we live in,
    where kids are killing other kids, is about children who need
    guidance, supervision and leadership. I hope Democrats and the vice
    president will quit the gun-control rhetoric and focus on the real
    problem. We need leaders who will serve as role models — not
    opportunistic politicians. Al Gore and his Democrat friends who grew
    up in Washington should know the gun laws where they were raised.
    Handguns have been illegal in Washington, D.C., since 1977. And
    children aren’t allowed to own guns anywhere.  What kind of increased
    gun control could he possibly have in mind that…would have stopped
    this [or any such crime] from occurring?"

    Last month, Bill
    "I-Don’t-Use-Tragedies-To-Promote-My-Political-Agenda" Clinton called
    for new gun legislation, citing an elementary school shooting by a
    child who took a gun from his guardian’s crack house. Crack addicts,
    of course, are fine law-abiding citizens.

    And on the topic of the Clinton/Gore efforts to use the courts as a
    club to mandate "gun control," seven leading firearms manufacturers
    have filed a counter-lawsuit against federal, state and local agencies
    and officials, alleging "an illegal conspiracy in restraint of trade
    and in violation of the Commerce Clause of the United States
    Constitution." Tit for tat!

    Robert Leonard and anybody who sees this MMM as anything less than a
    Clinton-sponsored media event designed to promote his political adjenda
    of making the US more like Russia is an idiot or worse! Read:

    Clinton ally leads march .. Tony Blankley

            …regretfully, not all news organizations report details
    accurately,… which brings me to the anti-gun "Million Mom March"…

            CNN’s coverage is typical. Earlier this week CNN reported that
    "the march is the brainchild of a New Jersey mother, Donna
    Dees-Thomases, who conceived of the idea as she watched footage of a
    shooting at an area day camp." …..

         The New York Times, whose motto is "all the news that’s fit to
    print," does manage to squeeze into this almost 2000-word report the
    background fact that Ms. Dees-Thomases is "currently on leave from her
    job as a part-time publicist for CBS." So, apparently, she is not just
    any New Jersey mother ..(and) Before (that) she .. was Dan Rather
    himself’s publicist…

         Oh, there is one other interesting fact about her. ..She just
    happens to be the sister-in-law of Susan Thomases, who just happens to
    be Hillary Clinton’s best friend and closest political adviser. Just a
    New Jersey housewife, indeed. One might as well
    identify Queen Elizabeth as "Liz Windsor, an English mother of four."

         Now, maybe all those warmhearted thoughts about maternal instincts
    .. and getting politics out of it, are genuine. But when the organizer
    of this event — so timely and politically useful to the Clintons — turns
    out to be so closely connected to the Clintons, shouldn’t that be
    reported widely?… it upsets me when political operatives cover their
    activities under the saintly mantle of motherhood….. [end]

    Worse, Richmond is providing busses at taxpayer expense!

    Go Moms indeed ……..

    Moms come in all shapes and sizes, same as their children do.
    But no matter how big or small they are, they deserve our respect.

    I was in our Nation’s Capitol on Sunday for reasons other then the M-M-M. Have
    to tell you it was a sight. Seeing the look of glee on all those husbands faces
    as the dropped their old ladies off at the Capital Building, knowing they were
    free to roam DC for several hours….

    I was especially uplifted hearing Susan Surandan and Rosie O’Donnell
    chanting "We are pissed off!"  "We are pissed off!" over the blaring
    microphones at the rally.

    Clintonism has debased the entire American society to the point where
    "Miss Nice" Rosie O’Donnell feels it acceptable to say "We are pissed
    off!"  in front of the children and the world.  Wonderful example of
    motherhood, and social responsibility, Rosie.

    I’m a mom and I think it’s funny as hell. I also think it’s sad that so
    many misinformed moms have taken steps to eliminate one more of our
    Constitutional rights. It’s not about guns, it’s about freedom to choose
    and Constitutional rights. I’d fight for your right to choose NOT to own
    guns, just like I’d fight for your right to choose to worship whatever
    God you choose to worship.

    Anyway, the only REAL winners of the Misinformed Moms March, were the
    husbands who didn’t have to put up their wives for a day.
