Obama: Time to address American culture ‘that too often glorifies guns and violence’

President Obama this morning issued a video response to a White House petition demanding more gun control – specifically mentioning America’s gun culture.

**SNIP**

“If we work harder to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, there would be fewer atrocities like the one in Newtown — or any of the lesser-known tragedies that visit small towns and big cities all across America every day,” Obama concluded.

Hip hop “music” and the “dawgs” that sing it have got to go! Right Barry?! We’ve definitely got to do something about that Tarentino guy too!

That would be your “Homies” by the way.

Maybe he should talk to Jamie Foxx who is releasing a movie where he gets to kill white folks.

Nobody glorifies gun violence other than Hollywood.

I say that is someone who fully support’s Hollywood’s right to make whatever they want at the same time I support responsible parental control in the home.

The only “culture” that glorifies guns and violence are your inner city yoots that voted for you.

Responsible weapons owners that possess firearms for protection and hunting don’t do your stereotype of hanging off pickup trucks at 60 MPH, drunk and shootin’ up everything. Yee-haw.

Hello hollyweird. Hello? Hello? Maybe hussein has a direct line to them. In general, gun owners sure as hell ain’t the ones “glorifying” guns and violence. And maybe he can mr.99%er russell simmons too. And this is the guy who can call up and order someone be taken out? Have a nice vaca in Hawaii. You know, where you were born.

Stop di-hydrogen monoxide abuse.

He should be preaching this in the gang infested inner city neighborhoods not out and about in law abiding areas.

Guess which American “culture” glorifies guns and violence as a way of life?

Not to quibble, Newbomb Turk, but I believe I'd be more inclined to say he's the antithesis of integrity.

We all know Baraq did a superb job in Chitown eliminating gun violence as a community organizer, right?

Obama can do whatever he wants at this point, I can care less. As long as he allows people to still exit the country freely, that’s all that matters to me.

The democrats are not working harder to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people though, they're working harder to keep guns out of the hands of the most responsible and law abiding citizens in the country. They have set their anti-gun sites on doctors, dentists, nurses, lawyers, small business owners, teachers, etc. and have completely ignored the individuals most responsible for the 8,583 gun murders that occured in 2011-the inner city gang members.

What's more, they have chosen to go after the weapons used least to commit those 8,583 gun murders, assault rifles which account for less than 2% of all the gun violence in this country. How can we have a conversation about reducing gun violence with people who are so obviously not interested in reducing gun violence? We can't.

Progressives will endeavor to keep guns in the hands of their supporters and eliminate them from the hands of their enemies.

read in a post here on FR where someone wrote “you give up abortion and then maybe we can talk about gun control....you go first”

Thought that was an excellent position to take.

should have bookmarked that post it was spot on.

Obama is a faggot. He is afraid of a harsh word, yet, he desires to be the dictator.

It’s not the guns, Bambi - it’s the morons who have no business carrying one.
