The day is coming. We'll see it. The U.S. is all but officially socialist.

Far too early for that, imo. Need to see what he had and where it came from, circumstances, etc., before reaching any conclusions about whether there is a problem that can be addressed.

Every place that has a public road, electricity, plumbing, schools, or a police or a fire department, is by definition socialist.

Its just a matter of degree.

Seriously? TVA? Gov't appropriated the land for virtually nothing, overspent and is massively inefficient in execution, but lack of alternatives and effective monopoly power made it your poster child. Awesome.

Obama has passed on multiple opportunities to make gun control an issue and he hasn't. What makes this one any different?

Passed on gun control? Have you lost your mind? He's simply doing it the old school progressive way by circumventing the electorate and going slowly via the idiot heading up Justice. Fortunately, Holder actually makes Joycelyn Elders look competent as a cabinet appointee.

Couldn't you argue this is why people should be allowed to carry guns?

Maybe somebody in the theater could have returned fire.
