When Obama spoke to BBC last week he stressed his frustration over not being able to secure more gun control and suggested that the guns outweigh terrorism as a threat to Americans safety.
Obamas exact words: If you look at the number of Americans killed since 9/11 by terrorism, its less than 100. If you look at the number that have been killed by gun violence, its in the tens of thousands.
In the lead up to this statement, Obama mentioned mass killings with guns but did not mention mass killings or attempted mass killings in which those holding the guns were jihadists.
He said, The United States of America is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient common-sense, gun-safety laws. However, it is not that America does not have gun control. Rather, it is that Americans increasingly see that gun control does not stop criminals from acting out their criminality, therefore support for more gun laws has waned.
For example, the push to expand background checks to cover more types of sales had a lot of momentum nearly three years ago, then Americans noticed that those behind the high profile, mass killings were passing background checks to get their guns. Since Sandy Hook alone (December 2012), attackers and alleged attackers like John Russell Houser (Lafayette), Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez (Chattanooga), Dylann Roof (Charleston), Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi (Garland), Jared and Amanda Miller (Las Vegas), Elliot Rodger (Santa Barabara), Ivan Lopez (Fort Hood 2014), Darion Marcus Aguilar (Maryland mall), Karl Halverson Pierson (Arapahoe High School), Paul Ciancia (LAX), Andrew John Engeldinger (Minneapolis), Aaron Alexis (DC Navy Yard), and Tennis Melvin Maynard (West Virginia), acquired guns via a background check. So what benefit do Americans gain from expanding such checks?

Very. Just pretend it doesn’t exist. They do.
LOL!
The "big guns" I referenced are multisyllabic insults which neither O'Bonehead nor his minions can pronounce properly, much less understand. We'll slay them and their ilk with invective, innuendo, negative association, we'll hit them with satire, irony, even allegorical symbolism!
Trust me, they want no part of this "war."
LMAO!!!!!
This graph does not represent the consensus viewpoints of the media, quasi-intellectual academics, and the democRAT party, therefore it cannot be accurate.
He was dropped of crapped out by Satan.
That’s a better, more accurate description.
That “thing” is as evil as any who have walked this earth. IMO
Red Backed, thank you very much.
Amen to that.
He makes my skin crawl.
“He makes my skin crawl”.
I think what bothers me more than anything is so many people cannot see the strangeness, bad, evil, creepiness, unnaturalness, etc., etc. that this creature exudes.
And their actions, such as voting, affect the rest of us in very bad ways. If their actions only affected them, it would be fine.
They are either under some kind of evil spell or totally brain dead.
Several of us here had those same -strong- forebodings when he first “appeared”.
A couple years before that, even, someone I knew sent me a video link to an “amazing speech” he gave while still a senator.
My blood ran cold.
That friendship did not last much longer after that because I did not agree with her belief that he was a “messiah”.
I absolutely cannot watch or listen to him, even for a few seconds.
When he does somehow manage to breech my TV shows, there’s a frantic rush to find the clicker and change the channel.
Seriously.
He affects me *that* strongly.
Demon skinwalker, that thing is.
You and I have disagreed on certain things from time to time.
But this is *NOT* one of those times.
This is why I get very upset when people characterize The Usurper as “inept” or a “buffoon.” The clownishness of The Creature is that same clownishness of Pennywise in “It.” It masks a pervasive and consuming evil.
Right now at the top of the Forum there is an article on the latest sting video regarding Planned Parenthood. It talks of a phlebotomist who physically felt the shock of evil, pain and death run up her arm when she touched an aborted baby.

The Usurper embodies this same feeling of Death - many, many times over.
You describe my feelings and experiences exactly.
“Demon skinwalker, that thing is”.
Absolutely.

May God help us.

It bothers me more than anything else that many people cannot grasp that this creature is so evil in so many ways.
Discernment is foreign to them.
yes, it’s guns going around shooting people, not the growing numbers of criminals and that’s why we need to disarm law abiding citizens-to decrease the gun violence. FUBO.
