America is truly on its deathbed.
Will he do something to protect our children like ensure school faculty can protect themselves?
Think how many children would have been saved at Sandy Hook if the teachers were armed!

Wonder if any of the kids will be Gang Bangers from Chi town?
Wasn’t it Jimmy Carter who told the American people he’d consulted with his 10 year old daughter about what to do about nuclear weapons?? So here we go again, Obama is acknowledging 10 year olds’ opinions about how to address violence perpetrated by people with a gun?
