Obama promises 'meaningful action' after Newtown school shooting (Obama's Reichstag Fire?)
Guardian UK ^

Posted on 12/14/2012 3:47:30 PM PST by Arthurio

Barack Obama wiped away tears at the White House as he expressed grief over the children killed in the Connecticut massacre and promised "meaningful action" to prevent similar shooting rampages in the future.

Obama has promised to act on gun control after earlier shooting incidents but subsequently done nothing implement any changes. Over the last four years of his presidency, restrictions on guns – in particular concealed weapons – have become more relaxed and gun sales soared.

There have been five major shooting sprees since he has been president, three of them this year. This one is different because the majority of the victims in the school in Newtown are young children, but the most recent opinion polls have shown overwhelming opposition to gun restrictions.

This just leaves me scratching my head.

Just who is going to come and get the guns? Who are they going to come to?

Black powder is totally unregulated. There are tons of unregistered firearms. Shot guns aren't regulated. Hunting rifles aren't regulated? Banning guns doesn't seem too practicle to me?

Who going to take the guns from the homies in the ‘hood?

Does anyone really expect voluntary surrender?

Sure there are mental health facilities. The burden beyond self committal is so onerous that a you have to be both crazy and retarded to be committed.

I guess they ask the question is he/she a danger to himself or society. If the joker in Colorado didn’t meet the requirement who does?

I guess you have to have to crap in one hand then while eating it shoot a weapon at a politician with the other.

Yes, the headlines should read, “20 Former Fetuses Gunned Down in Newtown School.”

I wouldnt be surprised if they wanted to break down doors. Nothing Obama and his cronies do surprise me anymore. Instead of coming together as a nation and mourning 20 innocent babies being murdered, the left has to find a way to glorify this and promote their agenda..its disgusting but not surprising, nothing surprises me anymore

>>There is a time for politics. This is not one of them. You have no reason to think these “fake” tears. Trust me.They were not. Please do not do this today.<<

Agreed. obama may be a terrible puppet president with an anti-American ideology his handlers intend to shove down everyone’s throat.

But he is a man and has kids. I can’t imagine anyone with children (or not) NOT shedding tears over this awful calamity. I have been close to tears myself.

For this one we give him a pass — unless and until he starts gun-grabbing.

I believe the left needs a certain level of violence in this country.

Mr. President: How many abortions were there last year....millions you say...

Well killing babies must be a good thing right?? Because you wouldn't tell your daughters to kill their babies unless it was a good thing, right??

"Kids of parents who are legal gun owners will not be allowed in school."

Now that would be a REAL boost to homeschooling!

"OK Kids, first lesson: THIS is a proper sight picture..."

(But my kids and grandkids already know -- and have applied -- that...)

If hearing from the agenda-driven politicians wasn’t enough, Mark Kelly husband of Gabby Giffords is now voicing his opinion that it’s time to do something.

That point needs to be pushed over and over again. I’m sick of liberals who cry about dead children while they promote abortion. We should NOT even use the word abortion. We need to call it what it is: Baby killing.

Or China, where a couple days ago something very similar happened with about as many dead, no gun at all.

What a phony. I wish this hypocrite would stop pretending to care, because he doesn't.

Absolutely. I agree. This is no time for gun control either. I do not want to hear it. No amount of gun control would have prevented what happened today. And re: the President...he is the father of two children. I think this took everyone’s breath away. So tragic. And to think, those bodies are still lying in that school. I cannot imagine what those parents are going through.

most recent opinion polls have shown overwhelming opposition to gun restrictions.

Which makes incidents like this all the more necessary. Perfect timing for the gun grabbers. Isn't it odd how the timing always is so perfect for them?

"ABsolutely fake. This man has never shed a tear over anything since he became president. He is doing it all for show. Takes acting lessons from BJ Clinton, his best buddy."

You are spot on, and I'll go a step further...TOTUS would sacrifice 1,000 more 5-year-olds to bolster his gun grab (and theft of private property) agenda.

Someone wrote that that happened a while back. Can’t remember where though but it was in reaction to today’s horror.
