12 Year Old New Jersey Girl Shot by Stray Bullet to be Taken Off Life Support

She was shot on Saturday and on Monday, the family makes the ultimate decision.

A 12-year-old girl is set to be taken off life support Monday after she was shot in the head while riding a scooter in northern New Jersey on Saturday night, police said.

Genesis Rincon was critically injured in the 8:40 p.m. shooting in Paterson and would not pull through, her family said from her bedside, where they were saying their goodbyes Sunday.

“They’re hurting, they’re in mourning, but they’re outraged,” a spokesman for the family Rev. Della Fischer, told CBS News York. “This is senseless.”

Little Genesis was walking with two other kids on Rosa Parks Boulevard when she was cut down by a stray bullet, police said.
The trio was heading back to a family party after making a run to a nearby store, which was closed.

4th of July Business as Usual in Chicago – 60 People Shot, 9 Killed

While the rest if the nation celebrated America’s independence, Chicago residents were busy doing what they are slowly becoming known for – shooting each other. The holiday weekend left 60 people shot, 9 killed.

The first fatal shooting occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Friday, kicking the weekend off to a violent start. Corey Hudson, 34, was killed in a drive-by shooting. Hudson was fatally shot, while his friend was left wounded. There were also three police-involved shootings on July 4th alone, leaving one suspect dead.
While the soaring violence in Chicago is no new issue, the city has been working to actively combat and reduce gun violence in recent years – especially after one of its bloodiest years in 2012, when Chicago was the only city in the country to record over 500 homicides.

“We will keep building on our strategy, putting more officers on the street in summer months, proactively intervening in gang conflicts, partnering with community leaders,” Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said in a statement.

To bring down the murder rate, police have been dispatched by the hundreds to some of Chicago’s most dangerous neighborhoods. Although this strategy appeared to be working in 2013 when homicides fell to 415, Chicago still had one of the highest murder rates in the country.

The Chicago Tribune updated its tally of shootings in the Windy City to 1,129 so far for this year. But it’s still less than 2013, which saw over 2,000 shootings

Church Gives Away AR-15s to “get more people to follow Jesus.”

The church claims that this is their way of bringing people to Christ. For those who know what the Bible says in reference to bringing people to Christ, giving them AR-15s was not on the list. From what I remember,  the Bible says to “preach the Gospel to every creature.”

Apparently this church is tired of the preaching. Time to bring out the heavy artillery.

In Joplin, Missouri, the pastor of the church told the Joplin Globe, “We’re just dudes,” adding, “If we can get more people to follow Jesus, I’ll give away 1,000 guns. I don’t care.”

Alex Jones – Obama Planned The Las Vegas Shooting – Video

Everyone, please be quite.  The right-winged media darling and favorite mouthpiece for the Republican and Teaparty movement has a story to tell. Of course he has no facts to back up his nonsense, but that’s exactly how Republicans love their news – as a total fabrication!

Ladies and gentlemen,  as per Alex Jones, the shooting in Las Vegas that killed three innocent people along with the two shooters, was a plan by President Obama and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg to come and take your guns and also to make the Teaparty look bad.

Go ahead Alex, make a bigger ass of yourself and your Republican colleagues… As if that’s even possible.

Leave The Murderers With The Guns, Protect Your Child With This Blanket – Video

So this is what the civilized United States of America has come to.

Instead of doing something simple to curb gun violence, like issuing background checks to act as a deterrent for those with bad intentions, you know, make it harder for lunatics to buy a gun. We are instead, preparing our kids to be sitting ducks in schools with bullet proof blankets.

An Oklahoma company – ProTecht – has developed the blanket made from bullet proof material hopeful that schools would pay the $1000 price tag for the blanket.

The blanket they say, would help protect the child from falling debris in the event of certain natural disasters, but would also help when the mass murderer with his Second Amendment Semiautomatic comes knocking at their classroom door. The only requirement is that the nice murderer stands outside the classroom and wait until all the children are fully covered before opening fire.

And if that’s not good enough news for you, consider this: someone is about to make a lot of money with their bullet proof blankets. 

Capitalism at work here folks, there is a need and the market steps forward to address that need!

Chalk up another victory for the NRA and the Republican party.

Absolute Insanity!

Conservative Tells Gun Victim’s Dad – “You Stupid Son Of a Bitch” A Gun Could have Saved Your Child

Conservative radio host Stan Solomon had a conversation with Larry Pratt, the executive director of Gun Owners of America. After the two lambasted liberals for trying to do something to curb the gun deaths in this country, they turned their attention to the recent killings in California, where a 22 year old killed six people before taking his own life.

Solomon had a word of advise for the father of one of the victims. “The father of one of the girls who was killed blamed the NRA,” he said, “and my response is, ‘You stupid son of a bitch, what the hell is wrong with you? If you had taught your daughter how to have and use a weapon, she might still be alive.'”

Guns, the conservative’s answer to gun violence!

Joe the Plumber – “Guns are mostly for hunting down politicians”

Joe The "Plumber"

And now, your daily nut-baggery. Today’s episode brought to you by the letters “CRA” and “ZY,” and also by the number “REPUBLICAN PLUMBER!”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what Joe The Plumber had to say about guns in his recent blog post;

Guns are mostly for hunting down politicians who would actively seek to take your freedoms and liberty away from you. Google “Hitler, Mao, Kim Jung Il, Castro, Stalin” just for starters.

As far as me being nice, cordial, respectful – don’t hurt people’s feelings… bla bla? We tried that and look where it got us?

With a Republican party that say guns should be used “for hunting down politicians,” is it any surprise that the political leaders in that party stay in bed with the gun lobbyists, lighting their cigarettes afterwards and bringing them a sandwich?

According to Joe’s message, you keep the gun debate off the table by not only threatening the leaders politically, you also threaten their lives.

Based on their insistence that guns are sacred, I’ll say that these Republican leaders got Joe’s message loud and clear.

California To Introduce Further Restrictions on Guns

And this new restriction makes perfect sense. Which is why the gun lobby will fight it to the bloody end.

Just days after a 22-year-old killed six college students and himself near the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara, state lawmakers are championing legislation that would permit law enforcement officials and private individuals to seek a restraining order from a judge that would keep people with a potential propensity for violence from buying or owning a gun. The process would be similar to the one currently used for restraining orders in cases of domestic violence.

The legislation is being introduced this week in response to the attack on Friday by Elliot O. Rodger, who was able to buy three guns and go on a rampage despite warnings from his family and mental health professionals that he was unstable and possibly dangerous. It is unclear, however, if the measures contained in the bills could have prevented his actions if they had been law.

Although mass shootings have not translated into stricter gun control laws nationally, they have prompted changes on the state level — largely limiting access to guns, but in some cases loosening existing laws, which gun advocates say give people more leeway to arm themselves against criminals. After a mass shooting at a school in Newtown, Conn., Connecticut and New York passed bans on assault rifles and created stricter background checks.

But California, which already has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country, could go even further.

Guns. Again.

I started watching Elliot Rodgers’ online twisted manifesto about how women ignored, belittled and frustrated him and how, obviously, his only appropriate response was to kill as many as he could, but after two minutes, I had to stop.

This is madness.

We keep asking the same questions. How does a person such as this get legal access to guns and ammunition? Can killings like this be prevented? If the answer is no, then why not? We seem to be able to address, debate or even stop other types of anti-social behavior, but in the present political climate, where the Second Amendment seems more sacrosanct than the First, the answer we keep getting is that no, there’s nothing we can do. I can’t accept that.

Perhaps the country’s tolerance for gun violence and murder has not been tested enough, even with the killing of students in public schools and colleges, and that we need even more killing before we’ve finally had enough. I can’t accept that either. I’ve had enough. No more.

Maybe we’ll get a more liberal Supreme Court that will undo the terrible mischief of the Heller decision that completely obliterated the militia clause in the Second Amendment and made gun rights a personal right. I understand that many gun owners from across the political spectrum believe that this was the correct decision, but a more specific historical analysis shows that the Framers’ intent was not to make sure that everyone could have a gun for personal use, but rather so they could join the state militia quickly in case it was necessary for public defense. The Framers distrusted a too-strong national army and put the militia clause in the Second Amendment for a reason. It was there that Mr. Justice Scalia, the high priest of Original Intent, found that the Framers obviously did not mean for it to have legal weight and told us in Heller that we could ignore it. Go buy a gun. It’s your personal right.

And so here we are, shrugging our shoulders and repeating the old script that says that guns are not the problem, mental illness is the problem. Or society is the problem. Or anger is the problem. Or the president in the problem. But guns? Access to guns is never the problem.

New Shooting Complements the NRA – 3 Year Old Shoots 18 Month Old in Head

So now, another senseless shooting. This time, a 3-year-old shoots an 18-month-old in the head. I guess the Republicans would say the 3-year-old had mental issues that need to be addressed.

In Payson, Arizona, a town just two hours northeast of Phoenix, a toddler accidentally shot his younger sibling in the head at a residence. According to the Payson Police Department, a 3-year-old boy found a gun in a home he was visiting with his family, then shot his 18-month-old sibling in the head.

At this point, the condition of the baby is not available.

The investigation is just beginning, according to AZFamily.
