Five Observations of The Obama/CNN “Guns in America” Town Hall Meeting
am spectator ^ | 1/7/16 | a goldstein

Posted on 01/07/2016 8:16:22 PM PST by doldrumsforgop

I watched the "Guns in America" Town Hall Meeting on CNN which was hosted by Anderson Cooper featuring President Obama. Here are five observations.

1. At the top of the show, Cooper admitted that CNN approached the Obama White House about doing this town hall after the San Bernardino attacks. So even though the San Bernardino attacks were a result of Islamic terrorism, CNN nevertheless approached the Obama Administration with the idea of having a town hall meeting about gun control and the Obama White House enthusiatically agreed. It once again demonstrates that CNN and the Obama Administration share the same political objectives. It also demonstrates that Obama and CNN would rather talk about anything other than Islamic terrorism. Of course, when it comes to President Obama the words Islamic and terrorism will never collide in the same sentence.

Let's be clear. No background check known to man would have prevented the San Bernardino attacks. To start with, the terrorists had a straw buyer. Then let's add the fact the perpetrators were affiliated with ISIS, an organization which seeks to spill American blood. Do you think expanded background checks are going to deter ISIS in any way shape or form from killing Americans?

2. I'm not sure why Obama agreed to this meeting. He came off worse tonight than he did in his first debate with Mitt Romney. Without a teleprompter, he is utterly incoherent. As the meeting wore on Obama came off as patronizing especially towards Kimberly Corban, a rape victim, who want to be able to purchase and carry a weapon to protect herself and her family.

I would never stoop so low as to watch this circus show.

This comes from article:

"He came off worse tonight than he did in his first debate with Mitt Romney. Without a teleprompter, he is utterly incoherent."

More troubling is the fact the creature tells his drooling followers: “If they bring a knife, you bring a gun” And the jerk stands there ready to confiscate that gun as we arrive. That kind of fight is that? Certainly NOT a fair one.

I don’t know about common sense, but there is a whole lot of common nonsense.

Obama doesn’t want your guns and he supports marriage as between only one man and one woman. He lies.

His logic is very tortured and selective. One thing would have absolutely stopped the San Bernardino attack. On thing. It is a thing that Obama’s Justice Department REFUSED TO DO. That is, to check out the social media of those incoming Muslims.

.. CNN and the Obama Administration share the same political objectives....

Nothing has changed in years. They have the same political objectives regardless of who is in the Oval Office. Remember when CNN was unaffectionately called the Clinton News Network.

The one quotient provided by additional background checks- is the number of “current legal owners, and their additional weapons.”

That is what is being done, by fiat.

Could someone please explain how expanded background checks will diminish the suicide rate in this country?
= = =

If I already have a gun, how is a background check going to hinder my suicide attempt? Unless I want a different ‘special’ large, or small caliber to ‘off’ myself.

Same for waiting period for murder. If I already have a gun, why do I need a cooling off time? Unless I want a .25 auto and don’t have one. For a weak victim, you see.

It’s not, but it’ll sure give the government a record of your gun and -who- sold it to you when they come to take it from you. NO REGISTRATION, NO CONFISCATION.

Obama and the left always just want you to talk and find a way to solve a perceived problem. Any ground gained is leverage for their next move. The NRA, the conservatives want nothing to do with anything Obama is involved with because it is a moving target. If you like your health plan you can keep it. Premiums will be 2500 cheaper. I don’t want your guns. All LIES! He is on record as saying no one should own a gun years ago. Now it is, let’s have common sense restrictions, again when numerous laws are already on the books. It is this way with most of the bureaucracies. Oh, let’s just talk, it won’t hurt anything. No, it is time to stop and go the other way.

I watched some the difference between Obama, and Trump at a rally is absolutely stunning.
