Obama: Newtown children killed with ‘fully automatic weapon’
The Daily Caller ^ | 04/5/2013 | Vince Coglianese

Posted on 04/05/2013 4:50:49 AM PDT by TSA-Watch

President Obama told a group of Democratic donors Wednesday night that the children killed in the Newtown, Conn. attack last December were shot with a “fully automatic weapon.”

Speaking to donors at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser in San Francisco, Obama urged the need for “gun control,” and referred for the first time to an alleged “fully automatic weapon” involved in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, which took the lives of 20 children and 6 adults.

It angers me almost beyond reason that POTUS would use the tragedy in Newtown to promote his anti-gun agenda in the first place. But to LIE about the facts on top of it? What a piece of work.

Check the books: if there are current laws that make it extremely difficult to own fully automatic weapons, then no further action is needed (other than enforcing existing law).

He was speaking to a group of Democratic donors. It’s not as if they: (1) care about the truth, or (2) would know the difference between various types of guns, anyway.

OK, Obama — full autos are already essentially banned. So what’s the point with banning semi-autos? (Never mind... I know the answer)

You’re dealing with a pipe-stem armed, intellectual lite-weight who can’t speak unless he’s scripted. His handlers forgot to get his teleprompter ready. The sock-puppet was speaking from his very small brain.

We need a Federal “Defense of the Second Amendment” Act, SPECIFICALLY limiting what these nutjob state legislatures and governors can do to eviscerate our rights.

Exactly: It was an obvious mistake because he doesn’t know the difference.

Our boy isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.

He knows as much about guns as he does healthcare and that is not much.

Pity is he knows even less about foreign affairs. The only thing he is relly good at is writing government checks for his friends the Muslim Brotherhood.

The JugEared homo and/or his scriptwriters (teleprompter) don’t know the difference between semi and full automatic, all they know is the weapons look scary like in a movie

“all they know is the weapons look scary like in a movie”

All they know is that the American people are armed and
that limits what the government can do to them. Remember,
the full faith and credit of the federal government is it’s
ability to tax it’s citizens directly. The right to bear arms
is what keeps them from taking everything.

**** But to LIE about the facts on top of it?****

Cut the Prez some slack! He is after all a DEMOCRAT! If he had a choice between a lie and the truth the lie always comes first!

Was it a lie, or a freudian slip? There was initial confusion about the weapons used. It also appears there are kits to modify the Bushmaster to operate full auto. And I know this is gruesome to consider, but each child was hit several times. Targets move, even when hit by the first bullet. Is it possible detailed ballistic analysis would show the bullets were impacting a single location too quickly for a semi-auto?

So maybe he just had a lucid moment. I say keep an open mind. Facts, as they say, are stubborn things.
