We're going to need to look more closely at a culture that all too often glorifies guns and violence

You mean like urban culture, like one would find all over Chicago? When Rahm and Obama find a way to clean up their town, then they can start urging the rest of us t copy their success.

So, Mr President, go after Chicago urban culture that glorifies violence (rap music, BET, gangs, etc), and then let us know about the results.

Lapiere was great. He even called out the media perfectly.It is deliberate on the part of the news media.

The news media make mass shooters world famous. The media makes mass shooters household names.

so of course these idiot shooters do it to become world famous, the next star.

No one ever paid any attention to these loner mass shooters. Women especially ignored them so what they want most of all is attention, fame , to become someone important.

It is not necessary to name the idiot and especially not show ever detail of its life to report this but the media know they are egging on the next shooter, creating copy cats, and daring one to top the previous shooter to become even more famous.

Well....sort of...but...in the vernacular, if the rap, game or culture happens to say something like “hittin’ it from the back” or “bustacapinhimass,” then it’s completely acceptable to Obama.

Here’s an idea...

Mr. President, you don’t have the legit power to do so. Neither does Congress.

So, no. No gun bans for you.

We’ll say it louder if we have to.

"Tell us what you think about this response and We the People."

When it comes to altering or removing any of my Bill of Rights be advised that I am a majority of one and notwithstanding my lack of public response, I did not nor will I authorize any individual, agency, political body, or government official to speak or act in my stead concerning any infringements on my rights.

Be not deceived. It would be a serious mistake for anyone to assume otherwise or to not believe that governments are created by me and We the People to protect and preserve those rights -- not to alter, change or destroy them.

No mention of a return to discipline in the schools? What about our Godless culture, fomented by teachers on behalf of their socialist unions? No men at home, no men in the schools, no men in daycare.. What ELSE does everyone expect from lawless, fearless boys raised with no discipline, no direction, no respect for authority?

As usual, the left is going after the WRONG issue. It's not about guns, it's about CONTROLLING CHILDREN THROUGH DISCIPLINE, and it MUST start at a young age or it's counterproductive.

So let me get this straight, he says he believes the 2nd Amendment protects the individual the right to keep and bear arms but that because so many of the criminals on the streets (who the left put on the streets) are continuing to break the law and steal legally owned firearms, the answer is to ban the firearms.

So it’s better to keep violent criminals on the streets than to keep them in jail?

So if we take away the firearms from the law-abiding citizens, that will keep these criminals that the left turns loose upon the citizenry will simply stop their violent crimes?

The stupidity of these liberals just makes the head spin trying to figure out where to begin proving their stupidity.

Whether by Law, executive order or UN treaty, they are going to disarm us. :)

Yes, but you missed a key point.

It was these statists via the ACLU that made it extremely difficult to commit the violently insane (you can apply whatever PC label you want) and to get them off the streets.

It was the ACLU, suing Byberry, that put hundreds if not thousands of “homeless” on the streets in Philadelphia, people that soon started jumping in the Delaware because they had no better sense.

Is that humane? The leftists treat abandoned cats and animals with more humanity.

And now, as a result of these ‘homeless,’ the leftists in Seattle have “tent cities” set up in the back homes of any of their targeted neighborhoods. They shove these criminals in the faces of the home-owner and then demand more funds to help them.

Build an institution and commit them. There were atrocities in the state-run facilities (why we should never trust the state to run our healthcare), but we can fix that a lot easier than we can fix the insane and the criminals wandering our streets.

If there is any truth to this, if Obama’s intention is to spark a civil war, I know of no better way.

Thanks. Good informational post. If we read and consider all of the content (or lack of) and really think about it, that response to anti-Second-Amendment petitions is making the radical anti-Second-Amendment lefties really mad. There’s nothing in it that agrees with what they want.

Even most working class Democrats agree with at least some freedoms and that firearms are very much in style. The “upscale” (flush with cash flow from government debt), anti-Second-Amendment left, along with only a small portion of Republicans (also debt-supported), are certainly overwhelmed by the vast majority of the pro-Second-Amendment, voting population.

Oh I know this...have known for some time. Their position on actually violating the rights of an effing crazy person just shows us that their end goal is confiscate all guns because they certainly about to violate the nutballs’ rights.

Not stupidity, it's meant to be that way, confusing. It's how the Gov
takes control of the masses by making them think they're to stupid to
understand and so the Gov must be all smart. And the smirks you hear
behind the curtain are the elected officials in charge of disinformation.
