Obama addresses gun control for first time since Aurora shootings

[koalabear]

The president said more must be done to keep weapons from criminals and the mentally unstable, vowing to do more but offering few specifics on how to prevent such occurrences under existing law. He spoke for six minutes, mourning the victims of high-profile shootings but also what he called the daily, “less publicized acts of violence.”

“When there's extraordinarily heartbreaking tragedy, there's always an outcry immediately after for action,” Obama said to the crowd of 3,700. “Too often those efforts are defeated by politics and by lobbying and eventually by the pull of our collective attention elsewhere.”

Vote on the UN gun ban is tomorrow.

“I believe the majority of gun owners agree we should do everything possible to prevent criminals and fugitives from purchasing weapons," the president said. "That we should check out a person’s criminal record before they can check out at a gun store. That a mentally unbalanced individual should not be able to get his hands on a gun so easily.”

One out of touch idiot.

Some NIGGER on MSNBC said that

Gun laws are racist

Cause white guys can have em

and

Black criminals cant

I know YOU think I made this shit up and I wish I did

BUT YUP

TIS TRUE

 

[busybody..]

Proving that racism can be found literally anywhere by an enterprising MSNBC talking head, the single-monikered Toure of The Cycle quixotically told the show's panel that he thought that racism lies at the root of the response to the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

During a discussion on the political atmosphere after the Aurora shooting, Toure said he had "hoped" that the whole incident would provoke a "Trayvon Martin situation," but that in the end it all boiled down to what he felt was the common racist attitude of making sure that "law abiding white people have access to guns" while "black criminals" don't.

How Toure got from a white shooter with no past run-ins with either law enforcement or mental health professionals and who shot up a mostly white audience to the idea that all people care about afterward is keeping African Americans from observing their Second Amendment rights is anybody's guess.

Here is what he said in the July 23 show:


We never have this debate until we have a tragedy and then its over emotionalized, its over fraught [sic], you can't have a substantive debate when everybody's so sensitive.

Day to day crime, as we've talked about, has fallen over the last 20 years so I think the average voter feels less of the fear that would motivate lawmakers to do something. These spectacular mass killings are way up from when our dads were kids -- I think there was something like 11 in the 50s and 60s and over 550 in the last part of the lat century a decade ago.

So, those things sort of make us think about these things, but we understand those are outlier crimes, somebody going to shoot up the mall or shoot up the school. I would hope that it would be something like a Trayvon Martin situation that would make people think, 'Wow. wrongful death, even though it's a legal gun owner. How do we move forward from this situation?' But so much of this issue, I think comes down to, 'Let's make sure law abiding white people are able to have access to guns and make sure that black criminals are not and that becomes part of the locus of the problem.

And we don't even want to talk about that sort of racial, black sort of bottom of it all, but that's definitely part of it.

In his short tenure at MSNBC, Toure has unleashed a torrent of left-wing tropes. Early in July he was all atwitter over Obama mandates hoping to see big daddy government grown immensely. The previous month he asserted that any criticism or interruptions of Obama are based solely on the fact that he's black. On yet another show he outrageously hinted that the military might have murdered Pat Tillman to silence him from criticizing the Army. On still another episode he tried to ridicule a college student for having the temerity to be a Republican.

Toure doesn't just keep his rants on MSNBC. In March Toure got into a heated public feud with CNN host Piers Morgan over an interview that Toure didn't like with accused killer George Zimmerman. Morgan invited the bomb thrower on his show to talk about their feud and eventually Toure proceeded to unleash an epic race-baiting meltdown after which Morgan said, "I like to think of myself as a professional journalist, Touré. I think that you are something else."

Obama is infamous for saying one thing while doing another. He wants and is working toward gun confiscation, and don't let his moving lips fool you.

Obama talks gun control but doesn't mention that the city with the strictest gun control laws has the highest murder rate, Chicago.

Not even in the top 10. Care to try again?

Apparently I am also out of touch. Serious question, please educate me. How is what he said out of touch? Everything except what you bolded is opinion on his part, but I think it's true, no? Is there some sort of lobby that wants criminals, fugitives, and mentally unbalanced individuals to have access to guns? The bolded part is what I don't know. I'd like you to tell me what's wrong with it.

Whenever you buy a gun you have to fill out paperwork and go through a federal backround check. However you can avoid all this by buying guns on the black market, which I would think is how most criminals go about it.

What's really sad about Obama, is he's never really addressed the unemployment issue, not that it's a big thing, but, he's more concerned about his own employment, then then his fellow mans employment.

He doesn't seem to know every gun purchase at a gun shop is run through NCIS computers first.

So, Chicago IS in the 'top ten.' No surprise there.

What should be noted is the overall trend.

Further, there is another 'laboratory' that can be looked towards, Australia. Some of the most restrictive gun controls laws on the planet. The results: Their firearm murder trends mostly track those of the US. There is a definite downwards trend. However, in all other categories of crime they are spiraling upwards. They are the most crime ridden nation in the industrialized world. And if it weren't for Australia, the UK would be #1. And no liberal can fault them on their gun control laws.

Obama's statement was garbage, he knows, or should, that all the laws are in place to address his expressed concerns. No one, not even the NRA, is in opposition to what he stated, hell, the NRA was instrumental in getting some of those laws passed.

But he passed, as in out of his ass, that pap along to the crowd. The idiots will eat it up, the informed know it for what it is...political knife edge sitting.
