Obama: America needs "soul searching" on gun violence
reuters ^ | 8/6/12 | Matt Spetalnick

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Monday that mass killings like the shooting rampage at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin were occurring with "too much regularity" and should prompt soul searching by all Americans, but he stopped short of calling for new gun-control laws.

"All of us are heart-broken by what happened," Obama told reporters at the White House a day after a gunman opened fire on Sikh worshippers preparing for religious services, killing six before he was shot dead by a police officer.

But when asked whether he would push for further gun-control measures in the wake of the shootings, Obama said only that he wanted to bring together leaders at all levels of American society to examine ways to curb gun violence.

FUBO, Squared.

http://ssristories.com/index.php?p=school

Soul Search that you bought and paid for, Communist, PhRMA Be’ yotch.

Time after Time after Time, we get guns are the problem, and then 9 or 10 months later we find out buried on pg 29 that some professional scumbag pushing legal, psychotropic drugs was involved.

Or maybe Soul Search those 300 Dead Foreign Nationals your AG got himself cited for criminal contempt of Congress over.

FUBO indeed.

Yeah, Barry, the mass shootings would be okay if they happened in fits and starts, you know, randomly. That's what you meant, right? Oh, wait a second, you were trying to sound profound and failing miserably. Barry, the shooting rampages usually happen to happen where the shooter has believed he will be unlikely to be met with an armed response. The solution? Teach marksmanship from an early age to as many people as possible and encourage them to carry. Give those who think they'd have easy pickings more than strong evidence that such an attempt would, literally, be shot down. And an added benefit would be that folks in the federal government would, maybe, start to get the same idea when they come up with harebrained ideas to trespass on our liberties. You know, like our Founding Fathers believed and enshrined as the Second Amendment?

>>He didnt do any “Soul Searching” when a Muslim terrorist murdered 13 of our brave men and women at Ft. Hood..oh yeah, I forgot, that was just “Workplace violence.”

The latest shooting was deemed “domestic terrorism” before the brass was cool, but Maj Hassan is still just a run-of-the-mill workplace shooter despite all the proof that he really is a muzzie terrorist. A government that doesn’t even lie well will never disarm me.

So you give Americans, the Austrian based school propaganda system, then you take out and demonize God. Ya, I’m sure the government has a great solution....

The gov't should at least give me some kind of pie that I like for free too.

India put the blame where it belonged, on the Obama White House.

That’s where these events have occurred.

Exception: AZ, which is just a ‘swing,’ not a state to 0bama

We need to do some soul searching on the security of our borders. Why not start there? 0bama is busy giving back door amnesty, I'm sure all these "dreamers" are fine upstanding folks who happened to commit an illegal act by entering this country

I agree with the poster above

There are some very serious issues in the psychological arts that need to be addressed.

"I think we need to be asking some questions about the psychological professions. "

Like, "where do they go to solve their personal pyschological problems?".

It's a Whirlpool.

No, we just all need to be armed so we can take out the aberrant nutballs when they pop their heads up periodically.

I was going to not put this on the list, but after the Aurora Massacre, it seems to belong in the Obama ‘Dead Pool’ file.

Ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list.
