President Barack Obama on Sunday memorialized the victims of the Washington Navy Yard shooting by calling for a transformation in the nation’s gun laws to address an epidemic of gun violence, saying, “There’s nothing inevitable about it.”

Reprising his role of the nation’s consoler in chief after yet another mass shooting, Obama said Americans should honor the victims of last Monday’s shooting by insisting on a change in gun laws. “It ought to obsess us,” Obama said. …

He said no other advanced nation endures the kind of gun violence seen in the United States, and blamed mass shootings in America on laws that fail “to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people.” …

Putin’s bitch gives weapons to al quada terrorist and Mexican drug cartels but wants to disarm law abiding Americans. What country do I live in? Everything is upside-down.

Don’t you mean “Ahab’’?

Serving as a mirror reflecting the devastating effects of his evil leadership upon this country, I am more obsessed with the wish that our dear leader get a case of malignant cancer.

I’m obsessed with gun laws - spreading concealed carry and constitutional carry, spreading and expanding Stand-Your-Ground, and repealing those laws that infringe on our God-given right to keep and bear arms. We ought to be obsessed with gun laws.

Easy to say when my tax dollars pay to protect his a$$ with guns. In a fair world, he would protect himself.

Coward.

D’oh, yes, you are right.

Apparently not obsessed with the concern of crime in Chicago.

There were child casualties in the Chicago park a few days ago, right?

He has a 'zinger' for his last line...

Boy, is this guy full of it.

PERSPECTIVE......

[Argus]

And if you take blacks out of the stats we have a lower murder rate than Canada.

Not one whit concerned, never mind obsessed. None of those victims are his “sons”, take note.

[GTM01]

On one hand more restrictions for US citizens and out of the other giving assault weapons with no restrictions to the same bunch that terrorized this country on 9/11. Somehow this country is supplying our enemy with arms. I don’t understand how an act of treason can become main stream even if you are full Kool Aide. Somebody has a forked tongue and needs to be held accountable. Our Founding Fathers and Veterans who gave up their lives for our freedom will soon roll over in their graves. When they do this rolling thunder will open up eyes that have been fogged over. Then accountability will come.

"Obama is “Obsessed” with destroying America."

He has a team working on that, he's obsessed with "golf" or whatever he does that he calls "golf".

For lack of any competence, a plan or even a clue, hey grab the guns!

[Silentgypsy]

Seeing him out of office obsesses me.

Agreed. Pyschotics that shoot out car tires,ect. aren't to be lumped together with people like your son and my friend's wonderful daughter that happens to suffer from Downs Syndrome.
