Obama vows to pursue gun control ‘with or without Congress’

President Obama vowed on Tuesday night to pursue gun control “with or without Congress.”

In his State of the Union address, Obama referenced recent mass shootings and called for new gun laws. In the aftermath of mass shootings over the last several years, Obama and Democrats have unsuccessfully pushed for new gun control measures.

“Citizenship means standing up for the lives that gun violence steals from us each day,” Obama said.

It is obvious to all in America that this morning the Republic needs President control.

The treacherous despot is far more dangerous to the people than guns

Alinsky’s rule #4 Gun Control- Remove the ability to defend themselves from the government. That way you are able to create a police state.

Guns don’t kill people. Obama’s sons do.

“Wonder if we can sue various police departments for false advertising when their cars display “Protect and Serve”?”

Nope. It’s to Protect and Serve... the government.

Depends on what you think the “planned” outcome was. If it was increased crime and more dependence on government, then the plan is working perfectly.

But then, Hussein has seen the American people as his enemy from the start.

BHO sees America as inner city minorities whose problems in part are dependency on welfare and single parent families so both Obama's treat the rest of the nation like we're all a part of the inner city problems...think Chicago politics and Detroit after reparations.....you thought it was something other than reparations? Who in your state government is for gun control...get your Second Amendment folks together and go have a chat with that person.

“Whoever, under color....” Say no more. Proof positive that any objection to the “lyin’ king” enacting laws is racist. Automatically trumps any old constitution thingy. /S.

That part always makes me feel warm inside when considering charges against political gun grabbers.

They have a lot of innocent blood on their hands. Much more than they claim the NRA has on its hands.

The Oregon Legislature run by liberal Democrats, is set to pass draconian gun-control laws and bans against owning fire-arms in Oregon.Sen.Kruse,R., of Oregon, has almost given up,and sees no hope to stop this from happening.What we Oregonians who want to keep our firearms need, is out- of- state powerful Republican help and publicity to deter this.Our Oregon republicans can’t do it.

Any big powerful,republican and/or conservative, or/and Tea Party help ,including national republican celebrities,leaders,Fox News, ect., who could give this national publicity, and help us stop this from happening, is welcome to Oregon, to help us.Also, if the national NRA Branch could get us national publicity, and ANY POWER-PULL we would be so GRATEFUL!!

We Oregonians hunt and fish,and rely on home fire-arms for defense because of our high property-crime rate; and high assault,rape,burglary, and home-invasion rate.

That’s what I’m talking about. While the antis seem to be able to bring the powers to bear, the pro-gunners are conspicuously absent. I don’t get it. Are nannie bloomers pockets that deep? I know some of the progun folks operate on a very thin budget. NRA. Are you out there?

“Gun Control” is where Americans purchase more firearms, more ammunition, learn how to shoot professionally, combat training, and learn how to reload your ammo for specific situations and needs!

Now that is gun control!

The President refuses to see the difference because it does not fit his agenda.

I disagree (politely). I think that BO doesn't like the sheepdogs because THEY disagree with his agenda.

A small, but very important, difference.

If we had a halfway decent Speaker, he’s already be undergoing impeachment.

I wonder what the Won has on Boner?

And THAT is why flushing out RINOs is every bit as important as flushing out DemocRats.
