Obama Pledges to Use Last 18 Months in Office Pushing Gun Control

President Obama on Thursday pledged to use his last 18 months in office to work on gun control, calling it “the one area where I feel that I’ve been most frustrated and most stymied.”

“If you ask me where has been the one area where I feel that I’ve been most frustrated and most stymied, it is the fact that the United States of America is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient, common-sense gun safety laws – even in the face of repeated mass killings,” he told the BBC in an interview.

“And if you look at the number of Americans killed since 9/11 by terrorism, it’s less than 100. If you look at the number that have been killed by gun violence, it’s in the tens of thousands," Obama continued.

“For us not to be able to resolve that issue has been something that is distressing, but it is not something that I intend to stop working on in the remaining 18 months.”

Obama wants to take away our commonsense civil rights.

AND at the same time wants to assure that our enemy IRAN will get Nuclear weapons and will help protect such weapons.

The man is beyond being a traitor - we're going to need a new term to express who this man is.

And how many of the tens of thousands killed by gun violence were killed by black men with guns? How many victims were black? How many have died in the high profile mass shootings vs. How many are killed by ongoing ghetto gang violence???

What are we going to do about this? We say “from my cold dead hands”-do people understand that it may very well come down to just that? We couldn’t or didn’t stop the SC from upholding CommieCare, or sodomite mirage, what will we actually do about this? We will have to make a show of numbers somehow, concerted, to be effective, however we do it.

Right, and in places like Baltimore and Chicago, the city leaders actually bring the fox (the gangs) in to guard the henhouse (the law-abiding citizens). Look at what the nation’s leadership is doing. They are busy passing more laws and regularions to ensure that law-abiding citizens are lawbreakers, in order to confiscate our Second Amendment right-our firearms.

You are not allowed to ask those questions...might uncover some facts that would displease those seeking to take our guns.

Don’t be silly, he doesn’t intend to pass actual law. This is 2015.

The Constitution isn’t protecting us, not when our representatives and the highest court are willing to “interpret” it or just ignore it in order to advance the agenda. They’ve shown that repeatedly.

Even idiot democrats are opposed to gun control........UMMMMMM...Maybe you want to back that up. Dems do NOT understand gun control. My Nephew, whom I hunt with trap shoot with, etc. said last year “ I don’t understand why ANYONE needs a thirty round magazine to protect against a burglar” My answer was, we may. He said what is the point? I said the cops, the gubmint have them, too. His answer? So why do we need them? At that point, I finished my beer and left. Dems believe a gun is for recreation, not insurrection or protection of our country.

We are on an 18 month approach to a fearsome landing destination.

Fasten your seatbelt.

I wish he’d do something more constructive for his last 18 months. Like chain smoke.

This is simple stuff. All he needs to do is sign some Executive Orders and send out his bureaucratic minions to enforce them. Nobody in any position of power will stop him - not the Congress, not the Courts, not anybody else in the District of Corruption crowd.

He's proven time and again that tactic works and nobody seems to care except a few million complainers out in flyover country and they will ignore us anyhow. He doesn't give a sh!t about the law or the Constitution. He's ready to move. It's coming, people. it's coming...

Well, why not? After all, Chicago and its firearms control laws are such paragons of success in terms of dealing with the criminal element (sarc, big time).

It’s going to take King Obongobongo more than 18 months to gather up 300 million guns.

We’d better give him another term.
