Obama Speaking in Paris: Mass Shootings ‘Don’t Happen in Other Countries’
Mediaite ^ | 1 Dec 2015 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 12/01/2015 7:50:03 AM PST by mandaladon

While giving a press conference in Paris, President Barack Obama told reporters that the mass shootings that plague the United States just never happen in other countries.

“With respect to Planned Parenthood, obviously, my heart goes out to the families of those impacted,” Obama said in response to a reporter’s question. “I mean, I say this every time we’ve got one of these mass shootings; this just doesn’t happen in other countries.”

For those living under a rock, the city of Paris itself was just hit with a series of simultaneous terrorist attacks. The majority of 130 deaths were in mass shooting attacks, where the ISIS-affiliated terrorists attacked public places with automatic rifles. Nearly one hundred people alone were killed in just one mass shooting at the Bataclan theater.

Long since debunked. Hardly worth the breath refuting. Again.

Thanks - it caught me.
Because it is sadly so believable.

He ‘meant with hand guns and rifles, like most Americans have to protect themselves.

How did Mao kill 60 million Chinese? Pol Pot? Stalin? Hitler? Ho Chi Minh? His pal, Castro? Nah, doesn’t happen in other countries.

Yep... and if it isn’t machetes... it’s a suicide terrorist blowing up him or herself while on a train or something. Obammy is an idiot.

Australia’s gun ban experiment success: Fact or fiction?

“The ‘success’ of the 1996 Australian gun reform is a myth,” penned Australian Nick Adams, a conservative writer and motivational speaker, in an open letter posted on Joe for America. “The only thing achieved was to take away the guns of the law-abiding, leaving only the criminals armed. Is this what you wish for America?”

In 1996, Australia adopted the National Firearms Agreement following a mass killing known as the Port Arthur massacre, where a gunman killed 35 people and injured 24. The measure led to severe restrictions on firearms including an outright ban on most semi-automatic and pump-action rifles and shotguns.

During the enactment of the law, the government bought back nearly 700,000 guns, but whether or not it had a positive affect is still up for debate. Statistics show that violent crime remained steady, the murder rate dropped slightly and gun deaths had reduced, but the flow of illegal guns has risen along with assaults and murders by stabbing. While technically there hasn’t been a mass shooting since the measure passed, there are accounts where a gunman opened fire in a public place.

In 2002 at Monash University in Melbourne, a mental impaired gunman shot seven people, killing two of them. Afterward, the government expanded controls over semi-automatic handguns, buying back some 50,000 handguns then deemed illegal.

Even peaceful, idyllic Switzerland. May 2015, 4 shot dead plus the killer. February 2013, factory shooting - 6 injured, 3 shot dead plus the killer. November 2014, two unrelated shooting attacks in one day left 5 dead, one injured.

Zero is mentally unstable and needs to be removed from office using the 25th amendment, section 4. Interesting article at http://beforeitsnews.com/politics/2015/10/remove-obama-from-office-under-the-25th-amendment-for-mental-health-problems-2749576.html that provides a good analysis - only confirmed even more by these comments and his recent overtime remarks (speaking for 14 minutes when limited to 3 - even ignoring buzzer).

for all of you, here’s what comes to mind and a quick brain scan in alphabetical order:

Afghanistan, Australia, Canada, Columbia, Costa Rica, Egypt, El Salvador, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Honduras, India, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Kenya, Lebanon, Liberia, Lybia, Mali, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Peru, Russia, Sudan, Syria, Turkey.

NOTE: Canada was long ago, but its what caused the gun-grabbing frenzy up there. However, if we went all the way back to the end of WW2, a whole lot more countries would be on that list.

He’s happiest when he’s out of the US, hobnobbing with UN and New World Order types. So what say we get the UN out of the US! Maybe Somalia or Yemen would be accommodating.

I thought it was deliberate misdirection on his part before, but I’m now thinking it’s cocaine psychosis.
