Former President Barack Obama on Tuesday called for stricter gun laws following the mass shooting in Colorado, bemoaning what he called a national tolerance for "these kinds of random, senseless acts."
Obama said in a statement that he and former first lady Michelle Obama are grieving with the families of the victims of Monday's massacre in Boulder, but also said they "are also feeling a deep, familiar outrage" for these types of tragedies.
The statement by the former president came shortly before President Joe Biden publicly commented on the shooting, which took place at grocery store and left 10 dead, including a police officer.
"It is long past time for those with the power to fight this epidemic of gun violence to do so. It will take time to root out the disaffection, racism and misogyny that fuels so many of these senseless acts of violence," Obama said. "But we can make it harder for those with hate in their hearts to buy weapons of war."
"We can overcome opposition by cowardly politicians and the pressure of a gun lobby that opposes any limit on the ability of anyone to assemble an arsenal. We can, and we must," he said.

‘random, senseless acts’ of gun rights infringements. Corrected. Once again proving to be an America hating useless POS.
Barry is once again out of the closet and rushing the stage, it appears.
SO...on the off chance that some didn’t fathon all this earlier: The dhimmicrap fraud machine that was applied to the Nov-2020 election successfully ensconced SloJo, Kamala-toe, BHO, Susan Rice, and Killery as the ruling elite of America.
It will not be easy to recover from this.
Unexpected!
funny how they ONLY do this with guns, and nothing else.
Hey, you’re gonna violate the Constitution, why not pass a Muslim ban?
Anyone else find it odd that Obama basically came out and said the exact same thing she’ll buy in mumbled through a short time later? Couple that with the fact that during Obama’s term as president, Biden stayed in the basement practically the entire time.
This really give some credence to my theory that Obama is running the show and just telling Biden what to do/say.
Obama. Who the F is he? Oh yeah, a stinking, queer, community organizer.
So far I haven’t seen anything about what he used.
Anyone?
You’re not the pResident.
STFU
How many SOB’s, sons of Barack, shot and killed other black youth in Chicago and Baltimore this week?
Now Obama’s fellow follower of the religion of death goes on a gehadist rampage killing Americans and good old Barack turns it into a political issue to try and castrate American citizens of their constitutional rights.
“these kinds of random, senseless acts.”
= = =
I thought the attacks were all conspiratorially pre-planned, white supremacist racist motivated acts.
Now they are random, and senseless?
The only references I've seen so far are that it was a "long gun", or an "AR-15 type" of gun, whatever that is. Do journos think a stock Mini-14 is an AR type? A lever action Winchester? I have no idea.
I call for stricter laws barring Muslims from immigrating to America.
“Right! That will stop people like this guy! (sarc)”
It was said best on the floor of the senate yesterday.
“We will stop drunk driving by punishing sober drivers.”
There in lies the rub. The dirty little obvious secret "gun control" proponents don't want you to realize or consider. That is the fundamental, unshakable, unchangeable fact that criminals break laws. People die, not for lack of gun control laws, but because others are pushed to violence by their own lack of control, lack of regard for their fellow human beings, or simply insanity. The result is, they are going to commit acts of violence. More "gun control" (what is that exactly, like more cheese on a pizza, is it a continuum?) Wouldn't make any difference. If the criminal in Boulder is prepared to break a dozen laws, kill and be killed, do you think if there had simply been one more law, some "more gun control" that would have stopped it? Really "Hey I'm ready to kill a bunch of people and go out in a blaze of glory and internet fame... Wait, I can't have more than 10 rounds in my magazines? Gosh, ok, never mind..." Is that really how anyone with better than a room-temperature IQ thinks it would (not) happen? Of course not. "Gun control" laws are not gun control. They merely serve to disarm the law abiding while doing nothing to stop criminals. Everyone who spends more than two minutes considering these facts realizes this. The only people advocating for "gun control" are those that are more interested in incremental civilian disarmament rather than actual public safety. When it comes to killing innocent civilians, governments with disarmed populations in the 20th century killed many times more people than all the petty thugs and insane combined.
Bugger off, Bathhouse Barry.
Outlaw stairs and do away with random acts of face planting you moron.
How about this Ohhaha...you and the rest of your Islamic friends get deported as part of new gun control program.
Arrest 0bama for inciting that shooting.
