White House: Obama Thinks Gun Control Will Deter Terrorists

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that President Obama thinks that gun control would help deter terrorists. Earnest made the comments today at the White House's daily press briefing.

White House: Obama Thinks Gun Control Will Deter Terrorists

Peter Doocy: "President Obama yesterday jumped to say that this mass shooting means it's time for commonsense gun laws. Does the President really think that common sense gun laws would deter terrorists now that he has admitted that these two may have been terrorists?"

White House press secretary Josh Earnest: "Yes. The president believes that passing common sense gun laws that makes it harder for people with bad intentions to get guns, makes the country safer."

Peter Doocy: "But so the president thinks that when there are potentially two terrorists sitting around planning a mass murder they may call it off because President Obama has put in place common sense gun laws?"

Earnest: "Well Peter, we're still learning of the precise motives of the individuals who carried out this heinous act of violence yesterday. One thing we do know, is the four fire arms they were wielding we're legally purchased under the laws in place now. That's a fact. So, that might lead some to conclude that we should have made it a little harder for them. Would that have changed the entire outcome? We're still investigating the situation but I guess the question is, why wouldn't we? Why wouldn't we make it harder for them? What's the explanation for that?"

Yes. Because the Hutu’s and the Tutsi’s showed us that if you don’t have guns, you simply can’t kill each other and everyone will be safe and live in harmony.

What a blithering idiot.

Obama thinks gun control will enslave Americans to the federal government forever, and he’s right.

Well if the objective is helping the terrorists, then gun control makes perfect sense.

This is almost as good an illustration of how out of touch BHO is as his remarks in Paris about gun violence only in the United States.

The man, if he is a man, is the laughing stock of the internet as the World’s Greatest Gun Salesman. He is personally responsible for tens of millions more guns flying off the shelves with every gun control sentence he has uttered. Americans are arming themselves in record numbers thanks to him, and now he’s complaining about it?

It’s like Planned Parenthood complaining there aren’t many black babies in kindergartens any more.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that President Obama thinks that gun control would help deter terrorists.

So all the California gun control laws that were broke by these perps would have been a deterrent? The ironic thing is assault weapons will not be that big of a problem unless they are banned and a roundup is instituted.

Almost 3,000 people died on 9-11-2001, and not one of them died of gunshot wounds. Three people died, and 246 were injured in the Boston Marathon bombing, but not one of them suffered a gunshot wound.

I thought he said that the goofy photo of him and the other buffoons all standing together at the “global cooling/warming/climate change” summit was going to topple ISIS and have them all wetting their man jammies.

Correcto.

We have to remember who Obozo thinks the "terrorists" are. Not revolutionary Communist or screaming jihadis, certainly.

As I’ve posted all over the place:

The liberals will say only a few radicalized muslims are terrorists. But ALL gun owners should be held responsible for the actions of a few gun owners.

Only if it’s the proper control American use - 1 shot on a Tango and 1 kill! A point O Bozo doesn’t get.

If being unarmed and helpless makes one safer then he would not use secret service.

If being unarmed and helpless makes one safer then we would not see mass shootings in gun free zones
