The White House said on Wednesday that the shooting of two television journalists in Virginia is another example of gun violence that is "becoming all too common."

White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters that Congress can pass legislation that would have a "tangible impact of reducing gun violence in this country."

Tragically, it's been a long time since we had true leadership in the White House!

Wasn’t “stop and frisk” an effort at gun control.

Progressives should start with that, in the inner cities. As a first step towards any other control/confiscation methods they want to try.

H/T to our FRiend Zakeet for the post.

And the bodies aren't even cold before THE AGENDA kicks in! Never let a good crisis go to waste...

Remember what I've been saying about the trifecta:

A financial panic;
More race riots spawned by a high-profile event;
Another mass-casualty event involving guns

All at once, or rapid-fire.

You need a scorecard to keep up with the players...

Ok, lets keep homosexuals, failed journalists, and people actively trying to start a race war from owning guns. Oh, wait. That’s not the conversation the Left wants to have...

Gun control - hold the firearm firmly with a two-handed grip, snap off the safety with your thumb, locate target trough the sights on the top of the barrel, hold breath, SQUEEZE trigger, recover stance after recoil, and repeat until the sunuvabyssh falls down.

National concealed-carry reciprocity qualifies.

Because the shooter who ignores laws against murder and attacks would obey laws about gun ownership?

Did I read that right?

The crazy, black homosexual in the White House wants Congress to pass legislation to prevent crazy, black homosexuals from having guns???

The one thing this incident should teach us is that they need to keep guns out of the hands of homosexuals. Cops will tell you that they can always tell when a homosexual is involved in a murder, because it’s always particularly brutal and a lot of overkill. Must be the nasty leering demons that indwell them.

Because they can’t say it is about racism (Even though the shooter explicitly said it was on his twitter account). The BLM idiots can’t get any traction on this because the shooter was black so, by default, it goes to gun control.

Maybe Obama and his pen will propose a way to keep guns out of the hands of black militant racists...

Gun control is a great idea, Mr Josh Earnest (if that’s your real name). How about you implement it in our President’s home town, Chicago?

The murderer was reportedly a journalist who’d been fired from that television station. Gun control won’t stop journalists from getting handguns.
