NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/ AP) Following the arrest of a white man Thursday in connection with the slayings of nine people, including the pastor, at a prayer meeting inside a historic black church in downtown Charleston, President Obama said he has had to deliver these remarks too often.
The attorney general has announced plans for the FBI to open a hate crime investigation, Obama said from the White House.
We understand that the suspect is in custody and Ill let the best of law enforcement do its work to make sure that justice is served. Until the investigation is complete, Im necessarily constrained in terms of talking about the details of the case. But I dont need to be constrained about the emotions that tragedies like this raise, Obama said.
Ive had to make statements like this too many times. Communities like this have to endure tragedies like this too many times. We dont have all the facts, but we do know once again, innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun. Now is the time for mourning and healing but lets be clear. At some point we have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesnt happen in other places with this kind of frequency.

But it does happen in Third World counties. I guess Obama has successfully turned the USA into a Third World country.
“Way” means method.
It’s perfectly obvious they will spin themselves as simply trying to slow down illegal gun sales. Is that true?
Don’t know. I do know that they aren’t going to get up there on the stand and testify truthfully about what their real goals were. Not if there’s anything devious about them.
Your suspicions and mine aren’t even evidence, much less proof.

Maybe if we didn’t have a race baiting president who keeps stoking the fires of racism it wouldn’t happen in this country.
The pResident is correct. Too bad we’re not an Advanced Country anymore, with a decaying infrastructure, dying manufacturing, and a Strongman in his Mansion, ruling by decree. . .
(If I were a South Carolina legislator, I would immediately introduce legislation to allow CCW in churches!)
"to" specifies an objective, which comes with an implication of motive (accomplishing that objective).
President stupid doesn't remember Charlie Hebdo?
It was Norway...and the number was 85
Not trying to trivialize tragedy, but since the gun grabbers started it - remember when the NRA president stated that the only protection against a bad guy with a gun was a good guy with a gun....and he was mocked for being a simple minded moron? The death toll in this shooting was 2:

It had the potential to be much higher - there were thousands of people in that church, and the only limiting factor was how much ammunition the bad guy was carrying. Oh...and an armed security guard.
Now every church can’t afford security. But perhaps its time to consider letting good guys carry guns everywhere, even in a SC church.
They were not tracked. The only way it was found out where the guns came from was when the weapons were found by the bodies.
With Barack Obama as president, the United States of America is no longer advanced
Chicago is one of many
