Six Months After Tucson Shooting, White House Readies Gun Control Stance
Fox News ^ | 07/07 | Fox News

Friday marks six months since the Tucson shooting which severely injured Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the White House is now hinting it's prepared to add its own voice to the gun control dialogue that tragedy reignited.

"As you know, the President directed the Attorney General to form working groups with key stakeholders to identify common-sense measures that would improve Americans' safety and security while fully respecting Second Amendment rights," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Thursday.

"That process is well underway at the Department of Justice with stakeholders on all sides working through these complex issues. And we expect to have some more specific announcements in the near future."

Carney didn't say how soon those announcements would come, nor what they might entail.

STAKEHOLDER is just bullshit Administration-speak for kook liberal victim group. Stakeholder in its real sense is EVERY man, woman and child in this country who has an unbridled RIGHT to bear (carry) arms.

My guess that their token gun-rights stakeholder is a kook from a liberal-formed group that has a 2A kind of name. Either that or a damned crooked police chief(s) from one of their urban cess pools.

Amen, the only “gun control” issue that needs to be addressed is the arrest and incarceration of Eric Holder.

Then let’s see where the chips fall.

Does that include Eric Holder and Obama selling guns to thugs so they can be brought to Mexico to Kill thousands of Mexicans?
Do they really want to bring up Gun Control Now? I guess the way to control Guns being sold Illegally is to Impeach Obama and Holder and to send them to Mexico for Prosecution for accessory to Murder

obama first. SOMEWHERE in all of this has to be an executive order with his signature on it so that they could transfer funds bewteen different government agencies. I would bet my life on it.

It will probably be through regulations. I can’t imagine they think something will make it thru the House.

So the Gunrunner scandal means nothing at all. Must be nice to have a tame media.

Someone needs to start some sort of Impeachment drive for our esteemed “president”; online petitions, something. I’d do it, but I’m not that tech savvy....

The Obama gun control stance is courtesy of the Underpants Gnomes:

Step 1: Ship guns to Mexican criminals.

Step 2: ?

Step 3: Gun control!
