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?"
...so long as the emperor gets to decide which intentions are bad...and which are not?
Lois Lerner anyone?
We don’t need gun control.
We need Obama control.
He’s nutz.
No he knows it will help them .
People who are not armed are EASY TARGETS .
How does domestic gun control deter a wartime enemy?
ABSOLUTELY NOT. The Second Amendment applies to all Americans; and one of the terrorists WAS an American, with no criminal record.
Much as I might agree with your sentiment, I WILL NOT DEPRIVE any American of the RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.
The right to keep and bear arms is not a gift of the government; it is a COMMANDMENT FROM GOD.
It will be misused by our enemies, criminals, and other lowlifes; but what you suggest is that long, slippery slope to serfdom.
One year to go....then we will all toast you walking the hell outta our house. Your legacy? World recession, middle east on fire, rise in American poverty, 95 million Americans out of the work force, twenty trillion national debt, record number of Americans on food stamps, American middle class wrecked.
Way to go!
It didn’t in Paris.
You don’t really think they use only guns, do you?
And I think you hit the nail square on the head.
bttt
It’s worked wonders for Chicago!!!
Getting Obama to stop airdropping tons of weapons and ammo to Terrorists would help big time
Gun control is to disarm us so we can be controlled
There’s apparently only one thing that will stop terrorist fanatics - our number one security priority must be to insure that we save and preserve the Earth for our children and future generations from the calamity of Climate Change.
It was a joke. I am a fierce advocate of equal protection (also from God).
We need common sense Muslim control.
Problem; muslims killing non-muslims.
Solution; disarm non-muslims.
it’s just common sense.
Instead of “Gun Control” we need “Muslim Control”.
