We Are Not Powerless Scolds Obama-Calls for Common-Sense Gun Safety Laws After Latest Shooting
Daily Mail ^ | 2/15/18 | Nikki Schwab

Posted on 02/16/2018 4:39:26 AM PST by sevinufnine

Former President Obama seemingly shamed his successor in a TWEET Thursday calling for stricter gun control laws in light of the nation's latest school shooting. 'We are grieving with Parkland,' Obama began. 'But we are not powerless. Caring for our kids is our first job. And until we can honestly say that we're doing enough to keep them safe from harm, including long overdue, common-sense gun safety laws that most Americans wants, then we have to change,' Obama said.

The ex-president made his comments on the heels of President Trump making his own statement, in which he never uttered the word 'guns'. Trump, speaking to the American people from the Diplomatic Reception Room, labeled the killing of 17 students and teachers 'terrible violence, hatred and evil' while calling for a change in the 'culture.' We must also work together to create a culture in our country that embraces the dignity of life, that creates deep and meaningful human connections, and that turns classmates and colleagues into friends and neighbors,' President Trump said.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said in radio interviews today that it was too early to talk about new laws. 'There's more questions than answers at this stage,' he told WIBC's Tom Katz. 'I don't think that means you then roll that conversation into taking away citizens' rights – taking away a law-abiding citizen's rights. Obviously this conversation typically goes there,' Ryan continued. 'Right now, I think we need to take a breath and collect the facts.'

While Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican from Florida – the site of the latest school shooting – suggested a killer's determination will always prevail against gun laws.

Obama’s statement irked me for several reasons. One, he’s irrelevant. Two, he “tweeted” a response after bashing Trump for using Twitter. Third...did he not have eight, long years to do something himself? What came of that, hmmm?

And the truest statement made of all:

1) Ban the shooter’s name from the airwaves for 2 weeks following an attack.
2) Bring back the electric chair for these select capital punishment offenses.
3) Nationwide ban on “gun free” zones.

Hussein did more damage to American culture than any other president. He’d best keep his mouth shut or president Trump may withhold a pardon.

1- There is no such thing as “common” sense. What is common in one part of the nation, is alien in another.

2- Is Bammy saying that the 10’s of thousands of current gun laws are non-sensical? In that, we both agree.

Would have been a different story if the shooter had ANY kind of return fire, his kind panic and run.

He should tweet odinga a 911 headline or any of another dozen headlines where his Islamic pigs murdered innocents.

A message to the American Left:

If you don't like the Constitution as currently written...

AMEND IT!

It's been done before.

It’s not about guns! It is not about defending against guns. It is about all the psychotropic medications the so many boys have been put on.

So why didn’t Obama get gun control passed when Dens had both the presidency and Congress?

Talk is cheap, Barry.

Blame Russkies for mass producing and selling them to every dictator and potentate. There are millions of AKs around.

No genius, provide mental health housing for these dangerous young kooks so we don’t have them walking among us.
