Lanza practiced and modeled his 'ideals' with "Call of Duty."

There is a danger in these games when the person has ACCESS to military style weapons.

There are weekend discounts this weekend. If anyone wants to know how nasty these 'real life' games are there is a chance now. Lucky us.

Activision and participating retailers (click here) are running a weekend sale for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. The sale, which began yesterday, runs until March 31, and sees a $20 savings on Black Ops 2. With the weekend discount, it puts the game at an enticing $39.99....

I could be wrong, but, aren't these the Cheney/Bush games. The games potential soldiers were encouraged to play before signing up. URBAN WARFARE games.

Supposedly these games help with recruitment and PREPARATION for the now vacated War in Iraq.

So these are the guys on the Senate Judiciary Committee that vote in favor of straw purchases and gun violence. They give a nod to committing gun crimes. Why are they on the committee?

The number of NRA-endorsed politicians (click here) who've changed their Second Amendment tune since Adam Lanza shot 20 kids and seven adults with a semi-automatic rifle last Friday keeps rising. But can we really trust that these formerly staunch pro-gun representatives will take action? Check out their pre and post-Sandy Hook thoughts on gun control and decide for yourself....

	Orrin G. Hatch R-Utah Biography They ALL, every legislator without exception, need to give the money they received to "Sandy Hook Promise" (click here) Now!  I would like Senator Leahy be the first in line to donate the monies from the NRA to Sandy Hook Promise. The biggest recipient (click here) of the NRA’s money is one of the committee’s newest members: freshman Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who got a $344,742 boost in independent expenditures from the NRA during his race against former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona. According to Public Campaign’s figures, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) has received $136,639 from the NRA, and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the Judiciary Committee’s ranking member, has received $78,526. Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) is the only Democrat on the committee who has received an NRA donation. Leahy’s Green Mountain PAC has received $7,000.
	Jeff Sessions R-Alabama Biography By Charles J. Dean | cdean@al.com  on January 16, 2013 at 2:35 PM, updated January 17, 2013 at 6:36 AM ...Sessions has also accepted political donations (click here) in the past from the influential National Rifle Association, as has every member of the Alabama congressional delegation except for Birmingham Democrat Rep. Terri Sewell. The NRA has long opposed efforts to control guns. "I just don't see how you can constitutionally or rationally expect semiautomatic weapons to go away and I'm not going to be supportive," said Sessions during a meeting with al.com. Sessions did back a little bit away from blanket opposition a little later when asked if there were any gun control proposals he could support that might help avert the kind of mass murder seen last month at a Connecticut school. That attack saw a gunman, heavily armed with the kinds of weapons Obama's proposals seek to ban, kill 20 first-graders and six educators. "I think the people who support Second Amendment rights, like myself,  think we should think this through and take our time and let's hear the arguments," said Sessions. "We are not going to be rushed into creating a law that would not have had any impact on this shooting or virtually any other shooting."... Take our time and let the NRA continue their propaganda until this mess goes away.
	Lindsey Graham R-South Carolina Biography Before Sandy Hook: "I'm honored to have the endorsement (click here) of the National Rifle Association," said Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC). "I have been an avid hunter all of my life, and like an overwhelming majority of South Carolinians, I strongly support the right to keep and bear arms. I will continue to defend the Second Amendment from those in Congress who wish to infringe upon our rights. Elections matter, and this year's election offers all Americans another opportunity to reaffirm our strong support for the Second Amendment." After Sandy Hook: Graham told Slate that clip/magazine size might be worth "looking into" if it was a factor in the Sandy Creek shooting, as well as loose gun show purchasing rules. "Report back to me and see if that was the problem here," said Graham. "This kid accessed weapons that were lawfully purchased by his mother, right? That doesn't seem to be the problem here." .......................................... As bipartisan negotiations (click here) over a universal background check bill have faltered in the Senate, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) chose this moment to introduce the NRA's preferred legislation, which addresses mental health issues and ignores the gaping hole in the law permitting private gun sales (often called the 'gun show' loophole) with no background check.... ...So, MAIG polled a variety of states and Congressional districts, looking for voters and their views on background checks. Many of the districts they polled are represented by A-graded, NRA-approved politicians. And the lowest percentage they could find in support of universal background checks -- for all gun sales -- was 79%. Arizona, my home state, not known as a bastion of deep 'blue' or liberal, progressive values, polled at 90%.... Maricopa County in Arizona has a median family income of $65,438 (click here).
	John Cornyn R-Texas Biography ...At today’s Senate Judiciary Committee (click here) hearing on gun violence and gun control, Texas Sen. John Cornyn argued that before trying to ban any particular weapons or ammunition magazines, the government should focus on enforcement of laws already in existence. He noted that gun crime prosecutions fell 13 percent from 2007 to 2011 and called in particular for tighter enforcement of laws that ban lying on background checks. And he called for hearings on the Justice Department’s failure to adequately enforce existing laws. “I have a hard time telling my constituents in Texas that Congress is looking at passing a whole raft of new laws, when the laws that we currently have on the books are so woefully unenforced,” he said. On the other hand, he added that he’s open to exploring steps Congress might take to improve mental health care, and to improve screening to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill... Sure, let's focus on the mental illness and forget about everything else. I remind the polls have shown AT LEAST 78% of constituents of NRA A-graded elected officials want background checks. I don't know where Cornyn gets off stating, “I have a hard time telling my constituents in Texas that Congress is looking at passing a whole raft of new laws, when the laws that we currently have on the books are so woefully unenforced,”. That is a lie. That is a blatant lie. Why are they lying so intensely that reflects nothing of the reality of their constituency? It makes no sense unless the money is too good for their elections, re-elections and ECONOMIES.
	Michael S. Lee R-Utah Biography And yet, there's Jeff Flake, my senator, co-sponsoring the NRA bill that fails to address the private gun sale loophole. Ignoring the people of Arizona. Before the expected objection about whether or not the NRA supports this bill is raised, let me point out that CNN quotes the NRA-ILA executive director supporting Graham's bill: It is all about money. Lots of it. President Obama is correct in that the current elected in the Senate and the House need pressure to do the right thing. They are voting for their own reasons and not carrying out the people's business. First Posted: 05/26/11 12:40 PM ET Updated: 07/26/11 06:12 AM ET WASHINGTON -- Senate Democratic leadership (click here) seems poised to acquiesce to Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) demand that the chamber vote on an amendment that would restrict national security officials from examining gun dealer records in their efforts to track potential terrorists. The Kentucky Republican had been insisting that such language at least receive a vote as an addition to the extension of the USA Patriot Act. As of Wednesday night, it appeared that he would be stymied. By Thursday morning, however, the landscape had changed and multiple sources on the Hill confirmed to The Huffington Post that a vote on that amendment and one other would happen -- likely as a means of expediting passage of the Patriot Act's extension....

PHOENIX -- When Sen.-elect Jeff Flake (click here) needed their help during the darkest days of his campaign last year, the National Rifle Association had his back.
Late in the race, the powerful group sent its leader, Wayne LaPierre, to the state to stump for votes while also spending big money to help Flake to stay competitive in a surprisingly tight senate contest.
But Flake wasn't ready to return the favor Wednesday as he slammed the NRA's plan to station armed guards in the nation's classrooms....

Maybe Senator Flake has had a change of heart about actually protecting the lives of children by not voting to increase the penalties on Straw Purchasers. See, Straw Purchasers are a real problem and they are a real problem in Arizona.

The seizure of more than 700 guns (click here) and the indictments of 34 people announced on Tuesday are further confirmation that Arizona has become an iron highway for weapons into Mexico, according to federal authorities.

Many legal purchases by straw buyers at Arizona gun stores are being financed and orchestrated by Mexico's Sinaloa cartel, federal officials said.

The cases announced Tuesday involved the purchases of many AK-47s, .50-caliber rifles and other semiautomatic weapons in single-day transactions at gun stores by straw buyers paid by the cartel, U.S. Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke said....

Just slap on the wrist and let them do it all over again, huh? Look at all that money sitting right there on that table. Straw Purchasers have their economic benefit in Arizona, don't they?
