President Obama has added his voice to the push for limits on Americans' gun use in the wake the massacre last week at a movie theater in Colorado.
Obama, speaking Wednesday evening to the National Urban League, affirmed his belief in Americans' right to own guns, but he singled out assault rifles as better suited for soldiers than civilians.
"I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms," Obama said. "But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not on the streets of our cities."

And nobody mentions, that if there had been people carrying firearms in the first few rows, they most likely would have shot him and prevented most of the carnage.
The solution is for MORE people to carry guns and be trained to use them.
“”But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not on the streets of our cities.”
Hereintheheartland believes the White House belongs in the hands of someone who has a basic understanding and respect of the Constitution; and not in the hands of a Marxist.
Interesting.
never interrupt an enemy when he is making an error. What an idiot for jump into this issue right before the election.
When the police, and any military likely to be used to control American civilians, are prohibited from semi-auto armaments within our borders, I’ll agree with this fool of a President.
How many of the daily black-on-black gun murders in Soetoro’s Chicago involve AK-47s?
The Left's base is truly pissed, and that's funny because any leftist pol would need to wait for a week or so for the whores in the media to do their magic and mold public opinion.
Of course, the press is running with this like crazy.
For Obama, the a gun ban works for him because it would help get his base in line. For Dem Congressmen, a proposed gun ban is a nightmare, but O won't have any trouble throwing them under the bus.

UN arms treaty takes shape, raising alarm among gun rights advocates

“For a treaty to become U.S. law, two-thirds of the Senate must vote to ratify it. Still, experts told FoxNews.com that if the Obama administration signs on and the Senate does not expressly reject it, the treaty may later be enforceable in the United States as international “customary law” - absent a successful challenge based on the Constitution. “
Great video!!
Of course! Just like in good old Chicago where everyone but the criminals have effectively been disarmed by the toughest gun control laws in the country.
It’s those bitter middle-americans who cling to guns and religion that need to be controlled because they just might defend themselves.
It is much less about guns than it is Control.
Humm
Keep that thought in reserve.
Its getting close
Communists have killed how many? Maybe 150 million of their own citizens often by class warfare. I think Obama is proud to be of the same idiology. I am ashamed of him.
Well, well, well.
The builder of The Obama Rifles, commonly called Fast and Furious, (with all due credit to his significant somebody helper-builder AG Holder), is getting into Gun-Running in the Rockies too.
This has been a busy week for World Class Dictator Creepy Commie Kenyan Obama.
The UN has gotten promises from Obama that he will violate, again, the US Constitution by signing a UN Gun Control Agreement, and now The Rockies!
Wow! How does a loose-lipped Dictator find time to even have enemies?
Sign this, fly there, raise money from hated millionaires and billionaires, speak another sermon on Commune Amerika! Busy, busy, busy!
Yep. Obama perfected his gun-running with fast and furious.
I guess that is what Obama means when he says: “I want everybody to have a fair shot.”
Stupid me, I thought he was talking about a shot of Whiskey!
I can’t believe that in some polls, almost 48% AREN’T ashamed of him!!
