Democrats push for ban of assault weapons, silent on nuclear power after Fukushima

Democrats want to implement a ban on military-style assault weapons in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shootings. 

Several lawmakers and liberal pundits assert that certain guns--by their very existence--are a threat to human life. 

Well. Why no similar outcry demanding an end to nuclear power--after four nuclear plant meltdowns at Fukushima? 
Nuclear power plants, history has shown--by their very existence--are a threat to human life. 

In fact, President Barack Obama sent officials to Japan to ensure that the Japanese government would continue to build new plants. There was no 'wall-to-wall' media coverage as the disasters unfolded at Fukushima, unlike the commercial-free coverage of the events that transpired at Sandy Hook Elementary School. 

Surely, thyroid cancer will kill far more than the twenty children who were among the twenty-six who perished in Newtown, Connecticut. 

Yes, Sandy Hook was a 'mindless, senseless' tragedy. Ditto the Obama Administration's unabated--albeit hushed, so as not to offend the 'Left'--love affair with nuclear power and its Wall Street profiteers.
