Supporters of the 2nd Amendment should be relieved; if Obama were serious about curbing gun ownership by private citizens, he would not have appointed Biden to oversee the effort.
You think guns and ammo are already flying off of store shelves? Wait until this latest pronouncement gets wide-spread airplay. They’ll be like Johnnie cakes at a lumberjack convention.
this a$$ clown who has his finger on the button.trigger hasn’t had a background check..start with him.
Who writes these headlines? I thought this was another stimulus idea. He should suggest that idea to Eric Holder. Holder can implement it before selling guns to Mexican drug cartels.
Just a simple statistical question, how many of the guns used by convicted criminals were legally bought by those same criminals? If the percentage is what I think it is, what would this effort accomplish OTHER than adding to the government control and cost of the transaction? Would it have stopped this crime?
Liberal mental vacuum working here. No neurons need apply.
All candidates for any public office from dog catcher to president should face background checks up the wazoo including the ‘mental health’ checks they are so frikking fond of. They should be disqualified for past and/or present drug and alcohol use and be drug tested every single month. Felons should be automatically disqualified. Their finances should be open to public scrutiny every day that they serve and there should be no exemptions for themselves from any law they pass on their constituents.
And that is just for starters.
Problem solved in 1968.
“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.- Lyndon Johnson when he signed the 1968 GCA into law.
Notice how they NEVER say what they’re going to do about guns in the hands of criminals? Never. It’s deliberate. They intentionally leave guns in the hands of criminals and do everything they can to keep honest, law-abiding citizens from having them.
They want the “downtrodden” “underclass” “oppressed” to rise up and take what is “rightfully” theirs from the “oppressors.”
Sure Barry, right after a national Voter ID requirement, enforcing the law on ~20M illegal aliens living in the country, and you tell us ALL about Fast-n-Furious and Benghazi..
Hey Obama does that include YOU too..does FAST AND FURIOUS ring a bell
All presidents should be subject to background checks too!
“Obama Says All Gun Buyers Should Face Checks”
Dude! I dont even know what the f*ck your real name is!
They want us to be like the European countries that they so admire. Obama, the man child (as Rush named him) is the biggest fraud to the presidency, I do believe. They read these forums all over the net to know that Many citizens are not buying their spin and lies any longer. In turn, they are mostly worried that the ground swell will rise up, to say no more out of control spending and changing America. This is all that this is. They are afraid of us not taking their orders or allowing them to precede their abuse of power as a normal day function. They have to control the populace. Like Shelia Jackson Lee, she's becoming fearful of us. She is just spilling the beans what her powerful friends are saying behind the private doors.
“This time words must lead to action,”
Notice he didn’t say effective action to prevent such massacres.
Shame on B.O. for seeking to further criminalize self defense.
The blood of the Sandy Hook massacre victims is upon him and all those who seek to prevent self-defense in the class room.
Even Mexican drug lords?(cough, cough)
will food stamp and welfare recipients be subject to checks such as drug tests??
Just like Obama was vetted?
I think the children deserve the same amount of protection as Obama’s daughters receive.
I also think that the president and vp and speaker of the house etc. should have random drug and sobriety checks and that the results must be published on the front page of the New York Times. They need these tests about seven times a week since they are steering the nation during these trying times. They are not allowed to smoke or chew tobacco. No nicotine either.
I’d like to face a check for 10 million dollars made out to me......
Won’t theses “checks” just disenfranchise gun buyers?Also it would be Racist to boot./s :)
