NY Daily News: THE PRO-DEATH PARTY: GOP composed of pandering liars stoking fear on guns
New York Daily News ^ | 01/06/2016

Posted on 01/06/2016 7:54:31 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Brought to tears by the toll of gun violence -- and blocked in Congress by the National Rifle Association's paranoia peddlers -- President Obama on Tuesday took executive action to close loopholes on background checks for gun buyers.

Republicans leapt into immediate competition for the title of extremist best able to distort Obama's ultra-limited, ultra-reasonable directives as a monstrous government plot to destroy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness on the shooting range.

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz won faster than a trigger pull by disseminating an image of a determined-looking Obama in a storm-trooper outfit with the headline, "Obama wants your guns." Jeb Bush's accusation that Obama has a "gun-grabbing agenda" was weak tea in comparison.

Leadership of the Republican Party is now composed of pandering liars because stoking irrational fear is selling bigtime among gun-obsessed Americans. They're buying weapons at a record pace as if to beat the imminent closure of firearm shops.

"So the gun lobby may be holding Congress hostage right now, but they cannot hold America hostage," Obama said, his hope boosted by the fact that 90% of Americans, members of both political parties support subjecting all gun buyers to checks on whether, for example, they are felons, domestic abusers or mentally ill.

Gun-shop owners have been required by law to run the names of all potential purchasers through a federal database for approval. But, until now, sales at gun shows and via the Internet, accounting for an estimated 40% of all sales, have been exempt from review because of Republican congressional resistance to increasing firearms supervision in the least.

Obama brought these transactions under regulation by defining more than casual sellers as requiring federal licensing. His power fell short, however, of ensuring background checks bar gun purchases by individuals listed on U.S. terror watchlists.

I’m moved to tears about Obama and Hillary. Immediate exile for the two of them.

I resemble that remark.

Zuckerman is presiding over the demise of a flailing tabloid. Sad but so so true.

I live in NYC and see their trashy headlines every day. I only read their paper for the horoscope.

I hear you. We canceled the Boston Globe in 1/03. I was glad to be rid of it.

Obamacare and death panels? Releasing murderers from prison, uncontrolled invasion from south of the border, importation of muslin fanatics, starving our children in schools, promoting racial discord and violence?

The Daily News is written by morons for imbeciles.

Are you sure it isn't the other way around?

I am not a big fan of guns, but I do support the 2nd Amendment. I am sick and tired of picking up the NY Daily News and seeing pictures of Wayne LaPierre depicted as a terrorist.

This from the party of partial birth abortion, abortion on demand, the selling of human body parts for profit, and the overseers of a socialist welfare state that has killed or wounded thousand of welfarians.

Oh, please. When even their rigged, agenda-driven numbers for gun deaths BEGIN to approach the number of abortions annually, we can talk. Till then, you Dems are the “PRO-DEATH” party.

In his tear filled message the other day...he was VERY upset, even crying over the fact that high school students down to second graders.....imagine, second graders, had been denied their constitutional “right to life”....and tomorrow he will veto a bill eliminating federal funds for planned parenthood.....PATHETIC.
