It is already against the law for crazy criminals to get guns.

Are these people stupid or are they idiots?

Led by an idiot known as Barry Soetoro.

The destructive idiocy of nobama is like waves hitting the shore...relentless...day after after day after...

nobama is relentless in pursuit of his hatred of Free America and Free Americans. nobama is a hate crime.

If Bambi is so worried that we would misunderstand his brilliant thinking on guns, Maybe he should have just STFU.

If Obama was serious about disarming criminals, he'd take them away from BATFE — the most corrupt agency in the federal government — followed by the DEA.

“But one clear and terrible fact remains. A man our Army rejected as unfit for service; a man one of our colleges deemed too unstable for studies; a man apparently bent on violence, was able to walk into a store and buy a gun.”

Is he suggesting three additional criteria to disallow firearms ownership? ‘Rejection’ by the Armed Forces, ‘deeming’ unstable FOR STUDIES by a college, and best of all, ‘apparently bent’ (whatever that means) on violence.

“But since that day, we have lost perhaps another 2,000 members of our American family to gun violence. “

Let’s investigate those incidents by race (4+ racial groups), demographics and drug/alcohol status of perpetrator and victim. He clearly implies that these incidents are purely randomly distributed without any causal features.

“I believe that if common sense prevails”

common sense = exploitation of misunderstandings, misconceptions, prejudices, ignorance and just plain bigotry.

“I’m willing to bet that responsible, law-abiding gun owners agree that we should be able to keep an irresponsible, law-breaking few - dangerous criminals and fugitives, for example - from getting their hands on a gun in the first place.”

If one realizes that this is completely and totally impossible - does this imply or suggest that one is irresponsible or not law-abiding?

There are many other such flaws in this article - he probably thinks he is committing a series of Jedi Mind Tricks. He is more effective when he speaks this rubbish than when he writes it.

Don’t try to take our guns, Hussein. Just some friendly advice.

0bama is certainly correct about one thing: the atmosphere has been poisoned to the point where there is no trust, no goodwill. And we don't have to look very far to see why.

There can be no good will because one principal party to the legislative agreement, the government, is intentionally dishonest. No one sane is likely to cede the slightest element of self-defense in trust to a government that feels it legitimate to decline to enforce those laws where it is advantageous to party or to racial politics. I cite the Holder decision to drop charges against an outrageous case of voter intimidation at the very door of the polls. I cite the BATF conspiracy - the usage is precise - to ignore warnings given by firearms dealers that illegal purchases were being made within the present system. Those firearms not only were illegally exported but used in the murder of the American citizens whose protection is the charge of the government, and that betrayed that charge in pursuit of political power.

Intelligent people don't make agreements with crooks, Mr. Obama. There is and will be no movement on this by firearms owners, under this government or any other that chooses to use selective enforcement of law as a political weapon. The problem is not in the paranoia of gun owners, Mr. Obama, it's in your mirror.

Obama needs to be impeached and tried for treason.

The first paragraph alone shows he is certifiable. Or, a lousy liar.

Either way, even though I highly doubt he actually authored it, it confirms he is unfit for the office he occupies.

Did you know that a person born with dual-citizenship like you were, Barry, is ineligible for the Presidency?

We need better eligibility checks for Presidential candidates before we need more gun laws. We already have 20,000 gun laws. Literally.

Small statements in a build-up leading to some future action against gun ownership.

Since that Jarod clown wasnt a criminal, no background check in the world would have stopped him owning a gun.
You cannot ask some one if they were in the mental ward or is currently taking drugs for it because you would be violating the HEPA rules. His medical records are private and you cant open them unless he say OK to it.
My Ambulance crew was exposed to someone with a very nasty diease a long time ago but the Hospital wouldnt/couldnt tell what it was and the person who had it wasnt able to give permission to disclose what it was. So everyone who was exposed to this guy had to wait until he woke up so he could give his OK. Turned out he had TB so we all had to go and get tested{Thank God nobody got a positive on the blood work} and then we got shots.
HEPA is a very strict thing.I dont know if it would apply to this, but it could.

I would like to give Obama a gun as a gift. Then we can finally get a background check.
