Last week, President Obama omitted mention of gun control in a State of the Union address for the first time since 2012. Politically, that decision might make sense. In the past year, the United States suffered fewer widely-covered massacres involving firearms, and politicians may have been less inclined to pursue gun control for this reason. The recent shooting at Brigham & Women’s Hospital and the recent increase in Boston's gun homicide rate the homicide rate, however, highlight the fact that restricting access to firearms remains a significant public safety issue both locally and nationwide

You control the people whose “value” system allows them to murder others.
Oh, but that implies that people have a free will and are responsible for their actions, two things the left rejects.

America’s lack of effective gun control policies remains an enduring weakness

They really are clueless aren't they?

Yes, they are. I used to be part of a membership machine shop. All the mills were kept busy milling AR-15, 1911, 10-22, and other lower receivers. Because we could. America.

Articles like this are just another piece of evidence that an Ivy League education is a disqualifier for any presidential candidate.

Call it what it actually is. It is *NOT* an "Ivy League education", but an "Ivy League indoctrination". These folks have no more capacity for independent thought than your average termite...
