An exasperated President Barack Obama on Tuesday expressed new surprise and dismay at the lack of congressional action on stemming gun violence, hours after yet another American community was jolted by a deadly school shooting.
Without congressional support, Obama signed dozens of unilateral executive actions meant to quell gun violence. Though broad action, like banning assault weapons or high capacity magazines, still require congressional approval.

I think he is getting ready to repeal the Constitution by executive order...

He just might find the “tipping point,” mightn’t he?

Obama signed dozens of unilateral executive actions meant to quell gun violence.did any of those actions target violent criminals? Let me guess, no. Did all of them target the rights of non-violent law abiding citizens? Of course they did.

mr soebarkah: You have demonstrated quite clearly by your own actions why Americans feel the need to “keep and bear Arms”.
Now, go eff yourself.

The President could immediately by executive order ban all guns or weapons of any kind...on his protective detail.
Anyone who has armed security should not be able to spout gun control arguments without that being prominently reported.

I wonder why Obama makes all this political hay out of school shootings in predominantly white suburban areas, but doesn't give a sh!t when a half-dozen black yoots are killed over any given weekend in Chicago.
Why do you hate black children so much, Barry Obama?

Hey Barack!
What “tougher gun law” do you think would have stopped ANY of the headline murders in the last 3 months?

The only things that gets Obama exasperated is when he misplaces the remote control or runs out of cigarettes.

I wonder how many more of these school shootings the Obama Administration is going to arrange, so to get his gun control pushed through Congress? Fast and Furious, anyone? Pretty strange coincidence how all these mass shootings are happening in lock-step with the push to take away our second amendment rights. It seems that for each loss Obama suffers at the hands of pro-gun-pro-freedom Americans, then suddenly there is a new outbreak of inexplicable mass shootings. I do not believe it is a coincidence ... As I would not put anything past this bunch of Marxist cut throats - including arranging the slaughter of American children, if it gets their agenda approved.

“Obama signed dozens of unilateral executive actions meant to quell gun violence.”
After all, NOTHING intimidates a psychopath/sociopath quicker than an EXECUTIVE ORDER!!!! /s

Had he been an American, he might have learned that “... The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” in this country. No “ gun control.” But as a citizen of the world, not sure which one, and of Kenya and Indonesia, he seems to have never learned this most basic fact about USA.

Don’t blame kids killing kids on the Republicans or the NRA Kenya boy! It’s commie liberal ‘RATS like you who gave us this sewer society. Kids aren’t supposed to kill other kids. Kids aren’t supposed to commit suicide. The NRA isn’t causing this. It’s you commies throwing God out of America and turning the kids into terrified sexual deviants who are afraid your “global warming” is going to end the planet tomorrow. YOU COMMIE PIGS ARE CAUSING THIS! For once, take credit for something YOU ACTUALLY CAUSED TO HAPPEN!

Democrats and Obama only bring up the gun issue when whites are killed by other whites. Racists.

I keep wondering about these things too along with the Las Vegas shootings too with the perps supposedly using the Gadsen (Don't Tread on Me) Flag. I've also heard stories about maybe they are the result of MK-ULTRA mind control experiments that supposedly happened from 1948 to 1971. Perhaps some of the perps have been born after 1971 but perhaps something like that continued on secretly. I don't live or die by conspiracy theories but I often wonder about these things since they happen at convenient times.
