Obama: Virginia shooting shows gun control is more urgent than fighting terrorism

Talky pointy

We touched yesterday on the left’s out-of-the-gate seizing on the Roanoke shooting to kick off the latest gun control push. It’s what they do, and no one was surprised that they did it - tinged as always with warnings like “we can’t wait any longer,” which imply, I guess, that everyone knows the left’s gun control agenda would stop killings like this, and we’re all just dragging our feet because the approval of the NRA is more important than the lives of folks like Alison Parker and Adam Ward.

That’s the implication, and it’s hardly new. They dropped it after Charleston. They dropped it after Newtown. They always drop it. They never explain how the laws they want would stop a determined killer like Vester Flanagan - who cares nothing for his own life - from getting a gun legally or otherwise. But that’s not really the point. The point is to turn an act of evil to their advantage in the news cycle, and they’re as dependable as the sun rising in the east in their willingness to take the cue.

But now that Obama himself has waded into the game, pay attention to something else. As he jumps into the tired contrast between gun crimes and terrorism, listen to the tone in his voice as he references the latter. What do you hear?

“Most of the liberals I know, argue that the war on drugs has been ineffective, and that drugs need to be legalized in order to end drug violence. What do they think will happen if guns become illegal?!”

>> Excellent point my friend.

Sure, because mentally ill black homos are way more of a threat to this country than the murderous minions of Mad Mo (piss be upon his head) in Iran getting nuclear weapons.

Makes perfect sense.

Right obama. That is like saying, a match in a person's hand, is far more dangerous than a house fire.

Therefore, Firefighters should worry about putting the match out in a person's hand first, then worry about putting out the house fire later.

He may be right! Amazing that he's finally come around.

It's quite possible that we SHOULD behead the treasonous gun control advocates at home and bury them with pigs before we continue that process with enemies abroad....

This is what happens when the GOVERNMENT FORCES you to hire REPROBATES !
Gun Control ?
We need to CONTROL OUR GOVERNMENT !
We wouldn't have THIS PROBLEM ...IF ... WE OBEYED GOD ! ! !



TO TOLERATE HOMOSEXUALS IS EVIL.
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written: Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE". And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

A most disturbing issue as one watched an interview with family member Andy Parker was the lightning speed with which the interview popped up on TV bypassing the mourning, sincerity and humility stage that comes with grieving for a recently murdered family member.
Mr. Parker instead calls for gun control delivering his shocking political call to action to America within seconds:

We’ve got to do something about crazy people getting guns.

Who out there trusts this central socialist government after the deliberate orchestration of ‘Fast and Furious’?

Is there something to be discovered here in this ‘shooting incident’ that doesn’t seem quite right?

Again the shooter commits suicide and is moved offstage perhaps to pop up somewhere else living another life. If so, then America is a stage on which to present plays written and directed by the liberal pansies we’ve elected to rule our lives.
