Facing Long Odds, an Angered Obama Vows Another Try on Gun Regulation
National Journal ^ | October 2, 2015 | George E. Condon Jr.

Posted on 10/02/2015 8:15:56 AM PDT by Biggirl

Amer­ic­ans saw an angry and frus­trated pres­id­ent Thursday even­ing, a pres­id­ent who has reached his break­ing point as yet more in­no­cent vic­tims of gun vi­ol­ence are coun­ted and yet more fu­ner­als are planned. For the 15th time in his ten­ure, Pres­id­ent Obama had to face the cam­er­as to some­how lead the na­tion in griev­ing the carnage left in the wake of a lone gun­man.

It wonders me that Hussein doesn’t feel he is ready to announce onerous new Federal Gun regulations by fiat and immediately move to enforce them. He could start by having EPA ban all “assault weapons” and decree that all weapons identified as such must be turned in to designated collection points by, say, 1 November. He could also shut down all gun and ammunition manufacturing except for government requirements. Who is going to stop this if he does it? And I would not count on the USSC any more. Hussein owns Roberts now and Kennedy’s arm can be twisted without terribly much effort if it is presented as protection of homosexual marriage.

Hussein was not saddened by the events in Oregon. For him it was a wonderful opportunity.

It was not for nothing that all those soldiers died. It was to clear the way for Russian occupation of the middle East.

He is a scary, angry man.

Yes. Small-souled, petty, bitter, mean, vindictive, vicious and nasty ... a would be tyrant with delusions of godhood.

It’s dangerous to kill Christians who are armed. Jews, too. Goebbels and company understood that in the last century.

What would happen if every American citizen was required to own a gun and know how to use it? They have tried restrictions that clearly don’t work.

[[Amer­ic­ans saw an angry and frus­trated pres­id­ent Thursday even­ing]]

No- we saw a ‘president’ throwing a temper tantrum because he can’t get something he wants-

However, now that he has tried to get it htrough congress and failed, he will very likely declare an emergency and pass gun laws via executive order just like schumer did in ny

New laws that will not survive a court challenge.

The campus was a “gun free zone.” A few students or faculty with concealed carry would have been able to stop the shooter before he killed so many. A “gun free zone” means that there will not be anyone to stop killers like Harper-Mercer.

The best way to stop bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

[[cleansing society of the evil of guns]]

Tell them that a gun, on it’s own, never killed anyone- but a liberal with a gun is behind nearly all mass shootings- Ask them if we should just ban liberals from owning guns?

Rush Limbaugh is talking about the real reasons for why we are seeing an increase in multiple gun shooting deaths.

1.Culture Rot.
2.Giving Glory To Criminal Behavior.

This whole debate using only “gun deaths” statistics is totally bogus. What matters is total deaths, and preferably homicides.

I emailed Mayor Rhambo Emanuel in the spring and asked him to deputize the Moms United for Gun Sense (conveniently located nearby in Indiana), combine them with Baraq’s ATF, and clean out all the illegal guns in the ‘hood.

So far no reply....

He is showing the real Obama. He is a scary, angry man.

He is showing the real Obama. He is a scary, little man. It’s just another spiel from the bony phony trying to look presidential and it doesn’t work. Just an empty suit with no friends and making enemies daily.

Tell that to NY’ers who had their guns and ammo clips confiscated- it faced challenges in court, and the courts upheld Cuomo’s illegal executive order-
