National Journal ^ | October 2, 2015 | George E. Condon Jr.

Amer­ic­ans saw an angry and frus­trated pres­id­ent Thursday even­ing, a pres­id­ent who has reached his break­ing point as yet more in­no­cent vic­tims of gun vi­ol­ence are coun­ted and yet more fu­ner­als are planned. For the 15th time in his ten­ure, Pres­id­ent Obama had to face the cam­er­as to some­how lead the na­tion in griev­ing the carnage left in the wake of a lone gun­man.

What new gun laws? We already have dozens of them.. Do we have drug laws? Yes Do human beings use drugs? Yes. Do we have laws against rape? Yes. Do humans still rape? Yes. You catching on yet Obama? Democrats? Laws only stop good people from making a mistake with their lives. Insane, evil dirtbags don’t care. They break laws. So what law would have stopped them? Stopped this evil dirtbag? NONE.

“Lone gunman” is the operative word. Not blaming guns and gun owners as the Obamanation and his ilk invariably do.

Why wasn’t Obama “angry and frustrated” when Muslim terrorist Nidal Hasan killed 13 and wounded 32 of our servicemen at Fort Hood in 2013. After the Obama learned of the shooting while at a Tribal Nations Conference, the president first thanked various staffers and offered a “shout-out” to “Dr. Joe Medicine Crow — that Congressional Medal of Honor winner.” Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured terms.

Liberals embrace the culture of death and then seem shocked when no one values life.

Yet Obama was at the forefront of the “patients’ rights” movement that emptied the mental health hospitals, wasn’t he?

In my opinion the plan all along was to release the nuts onto the streets and close all the insane asylums until... the left gained control and then someday soon after redefining who is mentally ill they will reopen the insane asylums and start putting conservatives in them.

Obama's anti-Christian rhetoric and his little War On Christians caused these murders.

He needs to be held to account.

#ChristianLivesMatter, Obama.

You and your Hate House need to confess your complicity in these killings.

A few months ago, he was vowing another push on global warming scare tactics.

You have to wonder if the next mass shooting will be targeting Obama's climate change opponents on a college campus somewhere.

Will the next Obama mini-me be asking his victims if they believe in global warming?

An honest liberal somewhere said yesterday, “if the government goes door to door confiscating guns, there will be insurrection. Another way of cleansing society of the evil of guns must be found.”

These people are determined if nothing else.

What new gun laws? We already have dozens of them.

Politicians -- particularly Democrat politicians -- have an uncontrollable urge to "do something" even if that "something" will make the problem worse, as it generally does. Then that "something" is a stupid law that becomes impossible to get rid of, since politicians will never admit that they were wrong.

The problem is the Community Mental Health Act of 1963, and free-range crazy people that the politicians and lawyers have made it impossible to treat. With one notable exception (the Bath School disaster, 1927), all school massacres in US history occurred after the Community Mental Health Act of 1963 was passed.

"While arrest or conviction rates and the death penalty reduce "normal" murder rates and these attacks lead to new calls from more gun control, our results find that the only policy factor to have a consistently significant influence on multiple victim public shootings is the passage of concealed handgun laws."

He's ginned up his supporters with such hate for Christians that they go out seeking Christians to murder - and his response is to demand that law-abiding Christians disarm.

America has had quite enough of the “control” of this lying bastard. We have seen his “control” in the Middle East, Ukraine, eastern Asia, Africa, and the Cartibbean. We have seen his “control” with health care, the economy, and in the smoldering ruins of American cities and dead bodies of police officers. He should keep his lying mouth shut and his fingers out of everything until the merciful end of his term of office. We don’t need any more of this arrogant child’s “control”.

If we had a real man as Speaker of the House, instead of a mediocre crying alcoholic, this fraud and public enemy would have been impeached months ago.

So he’s taken our money, culture, freedom and institutions (all against our will) and now he wants to disarm us.

The British tried to disarm us once.
