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.

Interesting that in 1963 it was a Communist who killed John Kennedy. Now Communists infest the government at all levels, and the Universities.
In 1968 it was a Palestinian Immigrant who murdered Bobby Kennedy. Now the US is overrun with Mid Easterners just waiting to go jihadi.
In 2001 it was Moslems who slaughtered more people, at one time, in the US than anyone ever had done before. They used Box cutters. Bush proclaimed their religion to be a “Religion of Peace!”
I believe it is “a religion of bloody pieces.”
Unlike the Atlanta shootings, in this case there is little discussion of the shooter’s motive, ethnicity, and religion, and the focus is all on guns. And if there is any discussion of motive, it will be spun to make the killer seem like a victim.
Yep. This idiot was born in Syria and imported under Obama.
