President Obama hopes to make gun control the top issue of his final year in office, saying Americans aren’t more violent than other people but they “have more deadly weapons to act out their rage.”

In an interview published Tuesday in GQ magazine, Mr. Obama said easy access to guns is “the only variable” between the U.S. and other developed countries.

“The main thing that I’ve been trying to communicate over the last several of these horrific episodes is that, contrary to popular belief, Americans are not more violent than people in other developed countries,” Mr. Obama said. “But they have more deadly weapons to act out their rage.”

We are keeping our guns, Mr. Omuslim.

How else can we defend ourselves from your imported terrorists?

We have a domestic enemy importing foreign enemies.

Nobody has the slightest concern for what the stupid man-child thinks about anything.

I look forward to the day when this little bitch-boy gets his mouth punched in repeatedly.

If there was anyone who ever needed an @$$ whipping, it is this lazy, ignorant, stupid "community organizer" who never should have been allowed near any reins of power.

We can thank the New York and Los Angeles media people for pushing this idiot on us. We should direct our vengeance at them.

Bringing in increased numbers of Syrians, by force, if necessary, and eliminating law-abiding Americans’ means of self-defense.

He really DOES want to make a bloody mess of America.

This guy is a SERIOUS a-hole.

Losing elections for his fellow DemocRATS is his top priority apparently because he’s not going to get one damn thing done as far as gun control goes. Keep dreaming Obama.

Last attempt for him not to leave. Disarm us while you bring in terrorists, yeah I’ll give up my gun.

I won’t send mine in because they’re too swamped lately.

The issue deals with discharges if the gun is dropped. Not exactly safe but it’s not an emergency issue.

So protecting the people from terrorists comes in what place? 2nd? 3rd? 10th?

Protecting American citizens didn't make the list this year.

"President Obama hopes to make gun control the top issue of his final year in office, saying Americans aren't more violent than other people but they have more deadly weapons to act out their rage."

Actually, many groups within the American population have lower rates of violence than other people even though they have deadly weapons readily available to them. Unfortunately, there is a group of Americans among whom there are a disproportionate number of violent criminals. Its not the guns, its the criminals and gang members.

But that never stopped a liberal intent on disarming the public.

Of course. The big invasion of 2017 can’t happen if Americans are still armed. Everything is falling into place... he will be a Muslim hero for spending 8 years preparing the US for that glorious day.

Leftists ALWAYS telegraph their punches - they TELL you what they intend to do.

But the Right never listens, and they wonder why they hate us when we get punched.

We fight Marquis of Queensbury. Leftists fight MMA. And we wonder why we get our asses handed to us every time.

Understood. I did it because I’d sold it to my best friend who died a few years back. When I heard, I contacted her and told her about it and said I’d give her what he paid me for it because I didn’t want it “out there” and being a potential safety hazard.

I sent it back because it had a habit of dropping the mag when I shoot (my big hands and thumb I guess). Then they said we’ll replace it with a G2.....

All told, though, it was a DAO and this new G2 is supposed to be an SA/DA which is more pleasing to my taste.

Either way, I get a new pistol. But I will still tell her and give her the option of taking it back for what she paid me.

Well we wouldn’t want to stoop to their level now would we? Somebody might be offended.
