White House: Obama Thinks Gun Control Will Deter Terrorists
The Weekly Standard ^ | December 3, 2015 | Daniel Halper

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?"

Actually, the man doesn’t think at all. He feels.

OK, I’m willing to compromise on this one. How about gun control for muslims only?

It sounds like it’s still going to be okay to make bombs in your garage and commit mass murders as long as you don’t use a gun and are not a member of the NRA. The Kenyan is one sick SOB.

Lets just have the people who want gun control live in one part of the country.
The rest of us will live in another part.
Of course that wouldn’t last a week. The gun control people would soon be streaming to our part where it will be much safer.

“Gun control” hasn’t stopped ISIS anywhere else in the world, why should it stop them here?
