Obama is no friend of gun owners. We have more than 30,000 gun control laws on the books in the country. There's no reason to believe more of the same will stem the violence engulfing our major cities. Disarming law-abiding citizens isn't the answer to America's crime problems.

The messiah is right that laws cannot stop gun violence ... specifically those laws meant to disarm the honest citizens leaving them exposed to the “base” of the Democrat party.

More unmitigated B*llsh*t from the King of Cliches.

Does this chain-smoking narcissistic dunderhead have an original thought? Obama couldn't competently run a 7-11 for 15 minutes.

"Banning guns has not always proven effective, he said."

Barry, can you name us one time when it has proven effective?

“”Children have to be taught right and wrong, and violence isn’t a way to resolve problems,” Obama said. “Kids have to be kept off the streets at night. A lot of these kids, unfortunately, they might not have parents at home who are helping to give them guidance.”

Obama, who had trouble with gun owners in Pennsylvania and other states, said he has never supported a blanket ban on handguns but favors letting local officials enact gun regulation appropriate for their areas. Banning guns has not always proven effective, he said. “

Not actually sure if he believes this or if he’s still in campaign mode. But he’s right except for the last sentence...banning guns has NEVER proven effective.

...I'm interested in just figuring out what works...

Here's something he never even mentioned - put an end to the culture that celebrates illiteracy and illegitimacy.

New York has seen a huge drop in crime over the last decade, more than even other cities, and part of it is they've got more cops than anybody else per capita.

Hmmm.

New York City has 37,838 police officers in a city of 8,274,527.

Chicago has 13,619 police officers in a city of 2,833,321.

That means that police officers make up 0.46% of NYC's population and 0.48% of Chicago's population.

In 2007 NYC had 494 homicides and Chicago had 435 homicides.

Therefore, Chicago has more police per capita than New York and a homicide rate 257% that of New York.

Try again, Obama.

The same old Communist propaganda is spewing from Obama’s mouth again. Criminals by definition get their guns by means uncontrollable by laws. They steal their guns or obtain them from other criminals for less than they would pay from a legitimate dealer or individual. More laws would only penalize the law-abiding citizens. Damn him!

No, but jails can, if you use them right.

The truth is, obviously, the ban here in Chicago, the ban in D.C. is not keeping the guns out of our cities,

The problem isn't that guns are coming into Chitown, Detroit or DC. The problem is the actions of the people in these areas misusing them. There are many cities in America with little or no prohibitions on handguns that have very low violent crime.

So maybe we have a people problems and not a gun problem.

Half baked attempt to mask his position that handguns should be outlawed.

NRA has him pegged, with a well deserved F.

Hes trying to fool the voters before the Indiana primary. He wants whatever pro 2A second amendement supporters he can that will vote in the primary. He’ll keep up the lies if he gains the nomination.

Only after (God forbid!) his election will he reveal that in fact he wants to ban all handguns from law abiding citizens. Then he will spin about how that was his position all along.

John McCain says that Obama is “absolutely qualified” to be President. McCain also said the attacks on “Reverend” Wright are wrong. Shouldn't we listen to McCain? /s
