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.

Duh, didn’t Obama form the “Obama Rifles” with Holden’s Fast and Furious gun-running scheme?

Just searched my soul. It’s telling me to maintain an arsenal of weapons in case a crazy person - or group, or government - decides suddenly to kill me.

Always trust your soul.

” I’m betting that he has a drawer full of EOs banning ammo, mags, firearms for signing on Nov 5th, if he’s losing badly. If he wins on Nov 6th, he’ll unleash them on Nov 7th, bypassing the US Congress. He’s got nothing left to lose, either way. SHTF.”

Done.

Mr. President, in order to reduce gun violence, my wife and I will start doing out public duty, get our licenses, and carrying side arms.

It is called the DEATH PENALTY, AND SHOULD BE USED FREQUENTLY TO RID US OF KILLERS! And should not take a life time to do. And should be done in front of the local JAIL. Sends a 'real' message to those thinking of killing others that if you do it, this is your fate.

Instead all the dems and RINOS want to do is kill the unborn. And take away my gun rights and my 1st Amend rights.

This is what a BABY looks like at 12 weeks gestation.

2 of my grands were about this size when born, 1 weighed just a little over a pound, the other a 2 pounder.
