Obama calls for stricter gun laws following Colorado shooting to prevent more 'random, senseless acts' of gun violence
CNN ^ | March 23, 2021 | Devan Cole

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.

100%. Harris is his hand picked backup. Obama is in his third term. He commandeered the election IMO.

I saw that Philly is leading Chicago so far this year. Might be a race to see who’s on top.

Odungo just has to put his 2 cents in, believing he is the “It” boy. When I want to hear from a traitorous commie idiot, Barry-boy, I’ll be sure to call ya. Word of warning: don’t hold your breath.

If they were all white, and Christian, no media coverage except for the poor misguided muzzie shooter.
