Metropolitan DC Local Politics
I know. I think that was the point a PP was trying to make: that this was all done by Foust and liberal outsiders. I don't recognize anyone in the original TV video on the "protest" - they look mostly like angry grandmother types. There might have been one woman young enough to have had a child in elementary school. But the good news is I drove by this afternoon and can confirm the parking lot is still packed. I've never seen it packed before. |
Agree. |
Exactly. Hence, the NEGLECTED children. Showing children how to cook is part of responsible parenting. But both PARENTS are too damn BUSY for that. Then you'll be wondering why your kids are doing alcohol and drugs in high school. And raging with anger. It's called PARENTAL neglect... right in McLean. These neglected kids have good reason to be angry. Their parents are too busy to parent. |
How unfortunate. |
| You anti-freedom liberal types lost this battle so you attack the cookie lady? That's all go have got left? Sad. Parking lot still full today at 5:05. |
| The crazy on this thread is impressive. The good news is the community will ultimately prevail regardless of visible protests or ridiculous DCUM threads. |
Sheer and utter nonsense. Most of those protesting were parents of school-age children, primarily in elementary school. And how many years do you have to live in McLean not to be called an outsider. The people who live here now have just as much right to an opinion as some old fossil collecting rents on his father's property by leasing it out to a gun merchant. |

After a 1996 Mass Shooting, Australia Enacted Strict Gun Laws. It Hasn’t Had a Similar Massacre Since.
On April 28, 1996, a gunman opened fire on tourists in a seaside resort in Port Arthur, Tasmania. By the time he was finished, he had killed 35 people and wounded 23 more. It was the worst mass murder in Australia’s history. Twelve days later, Australia’s government did something remarkable. Led by newly elected conservative Prime Minister John Howard, it announced a bipartisan deal with state and local governments to enact sweeping gun-control measures. A decade and a half hence, the results of these policy changes are clear: They worked really, really well. |
| Eminent domain to expand school. |
What did they do? What did they change? |
They banned guns. http://thefederalist.com/2015/06/25/the-australia-gun-control-fallacy/ |
WHY is our country so stupid?

Are you suggesting mandatory confiscation of all firearms? Please explain how this would work. |
Vicky or any one of her friends are welcome to respond to this. |
ban on all semi-automatic rifles and all semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns, and a tightly restrictive system of licensing and ownership controls. no one needs semi-automatic rifle to hunt |
