Instead of voting to "encumber and bog down the refugee process," Republicans should go along with a Democrat demand to bar people on a secret government list from buying guns, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Monday.

Earnest said the Republican plan to beef up the vetting of refugees will not improve national security: "Again, if Congress were actually interested in doing that, they'd pass a law that would prevent somebody who's on the terror watch list from being able to buy a gun. That's what Congress should do.

The White House was thinking about all the prisoners in Stalin's gulags had to be thankful. Then they realized the 2nd Amendment was in their way here in America and it took all the thanksgiving out of their holiday. Such a pity for Barry and Moochie.

My family will certainly talk about it. There won’t be one statement said on its behalf. It will be mostly like the comments regarding Obama.

GUN CONTROL FACTS

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.


In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

What makes you think that our own liberals-socialists-progressives-communists-Marxists will behave any better than their predecessors when WE are disarmed?

DISCLOSURE: I copied and saved this (except the final paragraph) from another discussion, probably here on FR, but I forgot to note the author, so I can’t properly credit it. If this is YOUR research please speak up!

What should be discussed is the fact that electing a Kenyan socialist traitor is NOT good for our freedom in the US.
