In between bowls of chicken poodle soup and deciding to provide air cover for al-Qaeda in Syria, our Dear Leader, Barack Hussein Obama, found time to meet with mayors from our crumbling major cities.
From Justin Sink of The Hill:
***
"President Obama told a collection of big-city mayors Tuesday at the White House that he would continue to use executive actions to combat gun violence plaguing major cities.
In the meeting with Attorney General Eric Holder and the mayors of 18 cities from across the nation, Obama discussed commonly applicable strategies to reduce youth violence.
'He also vowed to continue doing everything in his power to combat gun violence through executive action and to press Congress to pass common-sense reforms like expanding the background check system and cracking down on gun trafficking,' the White House said in a statement."

Once you get past the fact that this is the President of the United States talking about violating the Constitution he swore to Allah to uphold, this doesn't seem to be what Joe Bite Me would term a "big [curse word]deal". At first glance, the above looks like Barry is just being Barry, pandering to his moonbat base that is getting more and more fed up with the fact that he can't lower the oceans and keep the United States from waging war on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood.
But of course, that view is criminally negligent. We no longer live in times that allow us to shrug our shoulders and say, "Naah, that could never happen here." We now live in times that force us to say, "I sure as hell hope that ain't true." This a very big "[curse word]deal", indeed.
You see, ladies and gentlemen, this meeting, much like the Obamacare meetings, was held behind closed doors. Just like nothing good happens after midnight, nothing good happens when Marxists meet behind closed doors.
Of course, out of this circus of stupidity came the obligatory statement from Obummer that he was going to unilaterally write and enforce his own gun control regulations. Naturally, that was as predictable as Candy Crowley going to town at a buffet. I won't bore you with the details, but let's just say it involves the Federal Leviathan treating the Constitution like old chewing gum on the sole of its jackboot. Basically, King Hussein has decided that his subjects may not purchase imported World War II-era M1 Garand rifles and now the gang members in his adopted hometown of Chicago can't use corporations to buy their "gats". But that can't be the only thing they talked about. The mayors couldn't have possibly flown thousands of miles to clap like overfed seals to hear applause lines that aren't going to do a blessed thing to stop crime.
Perhaps they were also discussing this, or a plan like it, all in the name of "public safety" of course:

"An organization representing police chiefs from major cities around the U.S. is promoting an initiative to strengthen intelligence collection at the local level, increasing the integration of state and local law enforcement into the larger structure of the U.S. intelligence community.
In 2011, the Major Cities Chiefs’ Association (MCCA) began the initiative aimed at strengthening domestic intelligence collection efforts and creating a 'more defined, whole-of-government architecture that interconnects and better integrates state and local criminal intelligence and counterterrorism operations.' The Major Cities Chiefs’ Criminal Intelligence Enterprise (CIE) is an effort to create 'better connectivity' between 'state and local counterterrorism and intelligence units and among locally-led operations, fusion centers, and federally-led operations' such as Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) and Field Intelligence Groups (FIGs). The initiative is being organized around the pre-existing infrastructure of the Major Cities Chiefs’ Intelligence Commanders Group (MCCICG), a working group of the MCCA that played a significant role in creating the unified national suspicious activity reporting process."

Well, whaddaya know ? 16 of the 18 cities had a police chief that is a member of the MCCA! What a co-winkydink!
Now here's the funny part. The MCCA, in addition to wanting to create its own Mini-Me NSA, wants to slice and dice our Right To Bear Arms.
***
"That’s why we [the MCCA] looked to the U.S. Senate for courage and leadership on gun violence, to enact reforms that are long overdue. With 94 % of the public asking for better gun laws, we expected the Senate to do what cops do–protect the public. But a minority of Senators protected themselves instead of the American people. That’s a disgrace.
A handful of courageous Senators had offered bills to enact modest Federal reforms intended to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill, laws already on the books in many of the States. None of the proposed reforms would have taken guns from anyone and there were no plans for gun registration or licensing. Nothing to threaten those who own guns for recreation, sporting and hunting. But the gun lobby said 'No' to all of it, and when weak Senators caved into the pressure, these common-sense measuresdid not pass. Not one of them......Like all the cops who put on a uniform each day, Chiefs of Police will not give up on Washington. We will continue our struggle for laws that protect the public from gun violence. Just as the public knows their police will be there for them, the Chiefs want Americans to know that we are not giving up and going away. This was a week that should forge a new resolve.
The grief of the Newtown families and spirit of Boston’s citizens and police will not be lost on those of us who are committed to public safety."

Hey gang, we're in trouble.....
Ping!
The country is rotting spiritually, morally, and militarily.
I am not sure about fiscally but that will probably follow if it is not already financially corrupt.
Good stuff, FRiend!
I don’t have an answer. We can no longer vote these problems away. The corruption that is eating away at the Republic is mind blowing.
Funny how cities in so-called “Red States” are on this list, huh ?
Greg Ballard here in Indy is a Republican, 23 years in the Marine Corps, and probably the most conservative guy you could elect in any large American city.
The problem with just about all American cities is they have either majority or a large minority of the population Black and or Hispanic.
These groups vote almost totally as a block, maybe 98% liberal. I don’t know what the answer is. At one time Blacks had leaders such as Booker T. Washington who were more interested in improving their souls than anything else.
I have known a couple of Blacks who were so good that I don’t think I am their equal by any means. I know of a couple, Sowell, and Walter Williams who are smarter than me but they are too small a minority. Their leaders now are such scum as Obama, Jesse Jackson, and that race pimp up in Harlem.
I’ve pretty sure I’ve seen that video before, but I just watched it again. Outstanding!
But why would he attend such a meeting ?
I’m not going to attack Ballard since I don’t know anything about him, but this just stinks. Especially as a 23 year Marine vet, he should know better.
I can’t throw stones since I live in a tropical glass house. My beloved Miami and Miami-Dade is on the list too.
Well in the service they do have the expression..."show activity"
I hear you, FRiend.
This just stinks. Believe me, I respect police officers as much as any Conservative, but wrong is wrong. Two and two always makes four.
the main thing plaguing the inner cities isn’t gun violence... it’s democrats and their nonstop attack on capitalism and wealth generation
if people were allowed to actually work and businesses could actually thrive without govt programs to ‘help’... the people would earn enough and the violence would subside
oh, was I utilizing my frontal lobe? i’m terribly sorry, that’s unfair of me with progressives in the room

Wait until the flood of immigrants come into the inner cities. This will change the face of America and give them the votes and the strongarm if need be to keep us under control
Good stuff, LOL!
Just hang them all. Has to be done, sooner or later.
It’s all about fundamentally transforming America, comrade!
[Dripping Sarcasm]
This is a nightmare that America voted for. Even if you take out the voter fraud, at least 50% of Americans thought this crap was a good idea, or they got confused and thought they were voting for their favorite in “Dancing With the Stars”.
“The corruption that is eating away at the Republic is mind blowing.”
An elections at the local level and throw these people out of your town. Make their lives so miserable that they will give you their home.
Every major city has a Dim Machine like the one in Chicago. I don’t even think that’s possible anymore.
