The murder rate is actually the lowest it has been in about 50 years. It is much much lower than it was in the 1990's, before law abiding men and women started carrying concealed semi-automatic pistols concealed.

Since most of those are his sons and daughters, I can see why he became emotional.
Obviously, we should logically begin by banning gun ownership to all of his sons and daughters.
Paradoxically, that alone may solve the vexing so-called conundrum about guns running off by theirselves and shooting people.!

That seems to be the only reason that England aint overrun by the muzzis is because of the so called hooligans.
100% sure isn't Parliament
When I said in my earlier post that any and all action is justified, I was referring to Obama. When he finally crosses the line and starts suspending the Second Amendment for “public safety” then he will be able to justify suspending any and all Constitutional rights because of public safety. The 2nd Amendment would be his starting point because of the easy emotional appeal he can make using tragedy such as the Newtown shootings. We all know it will be the starting point for the dictator but certainly not the end. I agree with those who say that this is a red line.
After the BLM’s adventure with swat teams, military style equipment, and weapons that would make foreign nations envious, and since that adventure was directed at a plain old American citizen, there is no way that freedom loving Americans should trust any governmental agent or agency. They are armed to the teeth.
And they want to take your guns.
Wake up America.
So how, pray tell, was the Port Arthur Massacre similar to Columbine and Newtown. It did not take place at a school. It did not involve a student, nor was it particularly aimed at students. The shooter was supposedly someone who did not have full mental capacity, yet hit most of his victims with head shots in rapid fire in a restaurant.
There are questions about all three events, in terms of who, how many, if the accused (and deceased, presumably) shooters were the only ones, or whether they had some help.
There is a distinct possibility that all shooters were getting help with mental problems, including medication.
and then there is rampant speculation that all three events were false flag events triggered or conducted (or even simulated) to push legislation to diminish the ability of the respective populations to own firearms--maybe that's the similarity he was referring to...
Eliminate private firearms because of a few whackjobs?
We have had a higher percentage of Presidents abuse the power of their Office than gun owners abuse their RKBA, maybe we should eliminate the Office by that logic.
Can’t find a written transcript, but found the video at http://whitehouse.tumblr.com/post/88412719118/in-case-you-missed-it-president-obama-answers-your starting about 39 minutes in.
And when it was revealed by Biden earlier that there have been something like only 57 prosecutions for perjury on the millions of gun forms (ATF Form 4473), once again we see the call for more and more laws and bans when the basic “enforcement” hasn’t been done with existing laws and regulations. Lawlessness leads to more lawlessness.
