what is baloney about what the writer wrote?

"Ineffective wishing & hoping wont stop gun violence in this country."

this is correct, we need to start holding ourselves responsible for what happens. People need to value others not leave that to the Government. If we take care of our own instead of leaving it up to the Government. maybe we would care more what happens to them if we were a little invested.

But now we don't want to offend someone by labeling them evil or bad ... some people need to be offended. Hell, most leberal won't even admit evil exsists, It's all a "moral grey area"

Oh am I allowed to say that on here!

The writer implies that God is not allowed in schools. That is simply false.

You can pray anytime you want in school. You can even pray out loud if you want as long as it isn't disruptive to class.

see that it is more than that." (quoted from Sadie, above) Actually, I'm not sure that's a fair statement, at least in terms of what this administration thinks. From Obama's press conference today:

"Over these past five days, a discussion has reemerged as to what we might do not only to deter mass shootings in the future, but to reduce the epidemic of gun violence that plagues this country every single day. And it’s encouraging that people of all different backgrounds and beliefs and political persuasions have been willing to challenge some old assumptions and change longstanding positions.

That conversation has to continue. But this time, the words need to lead to action.

We know this is a complex issue that stirs deeply held passions and political divides. And as I said on Sunday night, there’s no law or set of laws that can prevent every senseless act of violence in our society. We’re going to need to work on making access to mental health care at least as easy as access to a gun. We’re going to need to look more closely at a culture that all too often glorifies guns and violence. And any actions we must take must begin inside the home and inside our hearts.

But the fact that this problem is complex can no longer be an excuse for doing nothing. The fact that we can’t prevent every act of violence doesn’t mean we can’t steadily reduce the violence, and prevent the very worst violence."

This seems like an approach that is trying to consider the wide range of issues/factors involved, not just guns.

Gun control will stop gun violence as well as the war on drugs has stopped drug use.

Let's be realistic and stipulate that some participants on this site might not cozy up to an idea if Pres. Obama utters it. But what if former Pres. Reagan endorsed the idea(s)?:

Washington, DC - The Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence today (Wednesday) released "Reagan's Gun Legacy," a report detailing the Gipper's surprising efforts to pass the federal assault weapons ban and other gun laws, including the Brady Bill. The Educational Fund released the report on the eve of the Republican National Convention, where conservatives will no doubt pay homage to the 40th President.

The full report, including Ronald Reagan's record and rhetoric on the gun issue, can be accessed here http://www.csgv.org/document.cfm?documentID=285.

The conservative icon, who Guns & Ammo Magazine once referred to as "The Gun Owner's Champion," was instrumental in passing several gun safety laws, including the landmark assault weapons ban and Brady Law. In rebukes to the gun lobby, Ronald Reagan:
Directly lobbied members of the House of Representatives to support the 1994 federal Assault Weapons Ban. The ban passed by only two votes; at least two House members publicly credited Reagan's direct appeals for their "aye" votes.

Personally urged Members of Congress in the early 1990s to pass the Brady Law, a major gun safety initiative vigorously opposed by the gun lobby.

Banned cop-killer bullets, undetectable handguns, and the manufacture and sale of machine guns.

"This report details how, on many occasions, Ronald Reagan put public safety above the extreme interests of the gun lobby," said Joshua Horwitz, Executive Director of the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence. (http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-99023.html)

Prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools remain controversial legal issues. Since the mid-twentieth century, the federal courts have placed limits upon state power to require or even permit these popular cultural practices. Two landmark Supreme Court decisions in the 1960s banned prayer in public school, and subsequent decisions have mostly strengthened the ban. By comparison, the courts generally have held since the 1940s that the Pledge of Allegiance is permissible, provided that it is voluntary. Nonetheless, some individuals have brought lawsuits in the 2000s, arguing that the Pledge violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution because the Pledge contains the phrase “under God.”

and crosses are banned in some institutions.

Have you any knowledge of the "slippery slope"?
They get one consolation, and then another and soon
it is over before fishhead saw it coming.
