Exasperated Obama: Inability to get tougher gun laws shameful
CNN ^ | June 10, 2014 | Kevin Liptak

An exasperated President Barack Obama on Tuesday expressed new surprise and dismay at the lack of congressional action on stemming gun violence, hours after yet another American community was jolted by a deadly school shooting.

Without congressional support, Obama signed dozens of unilateral executive actions meant to quell gun violence. Though broad action, like banning assault weapons or high capacity magazines, still require congressional approval.

Dear Barry, more than half the country hates your guts.

And voters in Virginia just sent a “reach across the aisle” RINO on immigration into early retirement.

Just what do you think will happen if you start messing around, commie marxist style, with the 2nd Amendment?

Can you repeal Constitutional amendments by hashtag?

Barak knows that more gun laws would not have prevented any of these attacks.

Barack also knows that HUAC (Hussein’s UnAffordable Care act) was going to limit peoples’ access to their doctors and raise costs (to cover those who get “free” insurance).

Barry lies and uses hysteria to make power grabs.

His end game is no private ownership of guns and a singular government run healthcare system.

He also sees “no” nuclear weapons. He can’t force the other countries to go there but he’s doing his best to take US there. He’s also against new weapons development.

Look at the end game.

Closing Gitmo by 2016 is also in it.

I always like the irony of a person with armed bodyguards trying to take away everyone else’s guns.

After a career of trampling the Constitution, Obama must think it’s shameful that he can’t obliterate the Second Amendment. That win would give him a whole lot more flexibility for the rest of his agenda.

I will consider their efforts to quash guns only after they can show me one mass shooting case when the assailant was stopped by guilt over any gun law he broke.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention divulged in 2011 that 11 percent of Americans age 12 years and over take antidepressant medication. CDC statistics also revealed a 400-percent increase in the rate of antidepressant use in the United States between 1988 and 2008. As of 2008, antidepressants were the most frequently used drug by persons aged 18-44 years.

The Marxist model for “gun control” is Chicago.

The Left wants only the Left to have guns.

They've long had the votes to completely ban citizen gun ownership at the city level, which is where the communists live, but they need to ban guns outside the cities because that's where the anti-communists live.

What you describe in your comment reminds me of the Agenda 21 movement.

uring his Tumblr Q&A Tuesday, President Obama hailed Australia’s confiscation of firearms following the 1996 Port Arthur shootings: “Couple of decades ago, Australia had a mass shooting, similar to Columbine or Newtown. And Australia just said, well, that’s it, we’re not doing, we’re not seeing that again, and basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws, and they haven’t had a mass shooting since. Our levels of gun violence are off the charts.There’s no advanced, developed country that would put up with this.” The Port Arthur Massacre had Martin Bryant, a 28-year-old from New Town, shoot and kill 35 people and wound 23. Predictably, Obama praised a government that forced its citizens to give up their guns because of a national tragedy. Charles Cooke of National Review summed up the real message behind Obama’s praise of Australia perfectly:

This is a test....what town was this the most famous aussy shooter from?...after which they banned guns?
