After the tragic shooting in Colorado that killed at least 12 people and injured at least 58 more last Thursday, 41 percent of Americans said stricter gun control laws would have no impact on violent crime.

The national survey of 1,000 adults, conducted by Rasmussen July 20-21, has a margin of error of three percentage points. Thirty-four percent said stricter gun control laws would decrease violent crime and 19 percent believe violent crime would increase.

The survey also found 51 percent of Americans believe the U.S. does not need stricter gun control laws.

Moron NYC Mayor Bloomberg forced to retract call for police to go on strike for more gun control

Bloomberg said this in response to the Aurora theater shooting.

“I don’t understand why the police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say we’re going to go on strike”

I guess someone pointed out to him it is illegal for the police to go on strike in many places, including NYC. Via WSJ:

Mayor Bloomberg appeared to distance himself Tuesday from comments he made on a talk show suggesting that the nation’s police officers should “go on strike” to demand tougher gun laws.

Bloomberg, who has been pushing for stronger gun legislation in the wake of last week’s movie theater shooting in Colorado, told CNN’s Piers Morgan on Monday that he doesn’t understand why officers “don’t stand up collectively and say, we’re going to go on strike.”

While Bloomberg, co-founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, has been an outspoken critic of gun violence, the comment supporting the idea of a strike seemed unusual for the mayor of a large city – and by Tuesday, he was walking back the statement.

“I didn’t mean literally go on strike,” he said at a Tuesday event about the economic impact of same-sex marriage. “In fact, in New York, they can’t go on strike. There’s a law against it.”

Clueless: Demo Sen. Feinstien says if someone in Aurora theater had been armed a firefight could have broken out...

GOP Sen. Johnson suggested an responsible armed citizen in the Aurora theater might have prevented some deaths. Here is Sen. Feinstein's reply:

"And maybe you could have had a firefight and killed many more people."

Feinstein is afraid a firefight would occur in a theater where a massacre was taking place? Geez...

The exchange takes place at the 06:30 mark.

Democrats use Aurora shooting to call for more gun control...

NYC Mayor Bloomberg and Jesse Jackson use the Aurora shooting to advance the liberal cause of gun control. Newt Gingrich destroys them.



As a side note, the theater where the shooting was a gun free zone. A single person with a conceal and carry permit might had reduced the carnage. We will never know.

Shameful: ABC suggests Aurora shooting suspect was Tea Party member; forced to retract

It's always the Tea Party in the minds of the liberal mainstream media. The Tea Party id guilty until proven innocent.

(Politico) — From ABC News’ online report on the Aurora shooting suspect:

An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. Several other local residents with similar names were also contacted via social media by members of the public who mistook them for the suspect.
