President Barack Obama on Saturday issued a statement about the shooting that took place at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Friday.
Three people, including a policeman, were killed in the incident.
“If we truly care about this--if we’re going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience--then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them,” said Obama. “Period. Enough is enough.”
Here is the full text of President Obama’s statement:
The last thing Americans should have to do, over the holidays or any day, is comfort the families of people killed by gun violence -- people who woke up in the morning and bid their loved ones goodbye with no idea it would be for the last time.
And yet, two days after Thanksgiving, that’s what we are forced to do again.
We don’t yet know what this particular gunman’s so-called motive was for shooting twelve people, or for terrorizing an entire community, when he opened fire with an assault weapon and took hostages at a Planned Parenthood center in Colorado. What we do know is that he killed a cop in the line of duty, along with two of the citizens that police officer was trying to protect. We know that law enforcement saved lives, as so many of them do every day, all across America. And we know that more Americans and their families had fear forced upon them.
This is not normal. We can’t let it become normal. If we truly care about this -- if we’re going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience -- then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them. Period. Enough is enough.
May God bless Officer Garrett Swasey and the Americans he tried to save -- and may He grant the rest of us the courage to do the same thing.
Let’s not forget the ongoing slaughter of millions of unborn babies. This demon of a man is the embodiment of hypocrisy.
what? murders? Murders are indeed quite normal. 427 people have been killed in Chicago this year alone.
As usual, OTrauma engages in Reality-Inversion.
He spouts this claptrap while arming the most violent and dangerous terrorist group on earth. He provides real assault rifles, grenades, RPGs, and anti aircraft weaponry to these terrorists.
He is quite the idolater if he believes that guns can inspire evil. Guns cannot. The devil can, and does!
CLASSIC, classic confusion on Barack’s part between Cause and Effect.
Oy vey. Is Donald Trump a Freeper? He ought to be. He’d see a lot of great stuff for him to use.
America can not take another day of this lying, muslim POS dictator, let alone another year.
We gotta fight the devil.
Planned parenthood = Planned gun confiscation
Another Reichstag fire from zer0 and his facist regime
Go play golf or bow down to the Moon God ya creep.
The Pilgrims had easy access to guns, which they used to stop an Indian attack shortly after landing in the New World. I wonder what Obama would have to say about that.
“But presently, all on the sudden, they heard a great and strange cry, which they knew to be the same voices they heard in the night, though they varied their notes; and one of the company being abroad came running in and cried, “Men, Indians! Indians!” And withal, their arrows came flying amongst them. Their men ran with all speed to recover their arms, as by the good providence of God they did. In the meantime, of those that were there ready, two muskets were discharged at them, and two more stood ready in the entrance of their rendezvous but were commanded not to shoot till they could take full aim at them. And the other two charged again with all speed, for there were only four had arms there, and defended the barricado, which was first assaulted. The cry of the Indians was dreadful, especially when they saw their men run out of the rendezvous toward the shallop to recover their arms, the Indians wheeling about upon them. But some running out with coats of mail on, and cutlasses in their hands, they soon got their arms and let fly amongst them and quickly stopped their violence...
“Thus it pleased God to vanquish their enemies and give them deliverance; and by his special providence so to dispose that not any one of them were either hurt or hit, though their arrows came close by them and on every side [of] them; and sundry of their coats, which hung up in the barricado, were shot through and through. Afterwards they gave God solemn thanks and praise for their deliverance, and gathered up a bundle of their arrows and sent them into England afterward by the master of the ship, and called that place the FIRST ENCOUNTER.”

Because God will help us use the guns and the guts for His glory!
Americans DO NOT have access to weapons of war.
ISIS has access to weapons of war.
How much did the Obamatollah’s goons pay this mentally ill guy to shoot up an abortion clinic?
Using that logic, maybe we can’t pray with a clear conscience until all planned parenthood clinics don’t exist in the country ever again.
What would the jerk pray??? Dear God, rid our land of weapons of war, and please bless PP as they kill another million or so babies????
The audacity of this amoral maggot telling others what makes our prayers worthy of being heard. The only type of person who would make this argument is one who does not understand OR believe.
Love the keywords you chose. I could think of a few more but the thread would be pulled.
Meanwhile, muslims kill thousands and obama defends muslims
If Barack knew the Bible (not just the Koran) he would understand that ultimate weapons of war are spiritual.
You can shoot a man with a gun. But you can’t give him the stamina to fight a thousand battles — even jihadists get jaded after a while.
