Exploiting Children for the Sake of Gun Control Is Repugnant

The gun grabbers continue to exploit dead children for the sake of advancing their gun control agenda. [Obviously the death of a child is tragic for anyone...and grieving privately ought be out of bounds.] However, while attending a Village of Skokie Trustee meeting on AWB last night, at least three of the gun grabbers who couldn't produce cohesive legal or rational arguments invoked children killed in firearm incidents...whether by accident, a mentally deranged person, or gangbanger cross fire...which wasn't relevant to a discussion of "assault weapons".

The same thing happened at the Evanston City Council meeting a week before five parents of kids, one killed with a knife, four killed by illegal handguns all sought to invoke and exploit images of dead children [lets not forget that several were involved with drug dealing or gang activity]....and one even had the audacity to ask City Council members to help her select a head stone. All of the events are quite sad, but THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT RELEVANT TO THE CONSIDERATION OF A BAN ON MODERN SPORTING RIFLES. There hasn't ever been a crime committed in Evanston with one of those type of rifles. Once again dead kids being exploited for to promote a gun grabbing agenda.

Obummer used the same families over and over again post-Sandy Hook to further his political agenda. Well he paraded them out....and it did no good. Enough of it already.
