Calling the failure to pass gun-control laws the biggest frustration of his time in office, President Obama on Tuesday said America “should be ashamed” of its gun laws, decried the type of violence seen again Tuesday at an Oregon school, and praised a country that more or less banned all long guns.

Speaking to Tumblr founder David Karp, Mr. Obama said the U.S. does not conform to the rest of the “advanced, developed” world when it comes to gun laws, resurrecting his plea for restrictions on the sale of firearms. He also disputed the notion that mental illness is solely to blame, saying other nations do not experience mass shootings and the U.S. doesn’t “have a monopoly on crazy people.”

“My biggest frustration so far is the fact that this society has not been willing to take some basic steps to keep guns out of the hands of people who can do just unbelievable damage. We’re the only developed country on earth where this happens. And it happens now once a week. And it’s a one-day story. There’s no place else like this,” the president said.

He then went on to praise a country that had outright banned and imposed a mandatory buyback on almost all long guns, including semi-automatic weapons and shotguns.

“A couple of decades ago Australia had a mass shooting similar to Columbine or Newtown, and Australia just said, ‘Well, that’s it. We’re not doing — we’re not seeing that again,’ and basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws, and they haven’t had a mass shooting since. I mean, our levels of gun violence are off the charts. There’s no other advanced, developed country on earth that would put up with this,” he said.

Agreed. And this should not be confused with the communist regimes that eliminated hundreds of thousands by guns!

Just so Obamugabe understands whutImsayin':
Yo, bruh...communists be crazy!

[Amagi]

No, but we ARE embarrassed and ashamed of Obama.

Just from looking at that photo, I can think of 4 different ways to disable it completely and another 3 on how to reduce it 0% combat effective.

Let them have their false sense of security. They come for our guns, it isn't the "foot soldier"/cops who will be the primary targets. It'll be those giving them their illegal orders...

[longtermmemmory]

obamas comments were SPECIFIC about ammunition. He used the word stockpile.

IOW he showed his hand.

We could even take a page from the Ukrainian play book.

:: We’re the only developed country on earth where this happens. ::
Nope. Anders Breivik was Norwegian.

Reference "The BIG lie. That which is repeated often enough becomes a truth.."

Anyone who issues the order and anyone who carries them out share the guilt are considered the enemy.

I agree with that part of his preaching. All gun laws should be rescinded as unconstitutional!

Well said. I was waiting for someone to state the unqualified freedom loving and constitutional position.

We should be ashamed for [re]electing this faggot to any office in the land.

The only thing I’m ashamed about is our Unicorn Gay Commie Dictator that we are punished with.

[onedoug]

I’m ashamed at having an islamist for so-called President. And a homosexual one at that.

Reduce the combat effectiveness of any group by taking out the leaders. Wisdom as old as warfare.

[from occupied ga]

the leaders

If you can find them.

I was really good at Whack-a-mole as a kid.

I'm NOT going to pick that up and run with it :-)

There was a time when crazy people were removed from society. I’m not advocating throwing a net over everyone that says or does something out of the “norms,” but the vast majority of individuals carrying out these acts have had lengthy, well documented histories of serious mental illness.

[from occupied ga]

Stuff like this is a trivial price to pay for a free society. The price in human misery to go to a totalitarian regime as envisioned by 0 and his fellow democrats is far greater, AND will not reduce this sort of thing in the least.

[Biggirl]

The American people are starting to say “enough” and the revolt has started by the throwing out of Rep. Cantor!

[Mastador1]

I’m late to the party today, am I the 78th to say how ashamed I am of mr. mulato? Domo Arigato, mr. mulato, now FOAD!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Everything the guy says and does is impeachment worthy.
