An emotional Obama unveils his plan to cut gun violence

More roundabout legislation, the thing they left out was mention of the little caveat he added that if you are on Social Security and deemed unable to manage your finances, you cannot buy a gun. While that may make sense, since in those cases someone else is in charge of managing their finances, the real issue is the abuse by those people, which they do not address. More band aids and bubblegum on a dysfunctioanl system.

    The founders deliberately set up an inefficient government, because they rightly feared government, then they put the 2nd amendment in place so that the people could defend themselves from an oppressive government as necessary. Giving POTUS the benefit of the doubt. as a Constitutional history professor, he should know this. Therefore, it's obvious that he seeks to undermine the Constitution solely to retain power. His tears bring new meaning to the word disingenuous.

    Maybe as regards ISIS/ISIL, his teleprompter could at least inform him to: Show of force appropriate here.

    Absolutely phony. He's not even a good actor.

    His teleprompter said: Wipe non-existent tear (s) with finger so people will think you really care.

    The man does not have emotions. But he thinks since emotions work for other heads-of-state (Putin, maybe?) then a show of emotion would work to gain himself adulation. As he once said, It worked for David Rockefeller---referring to David's belief that his daughter would not want to see him, for various reasons.

    O'Blubber is just as fake when he moves his lips. There are times when he does slip up and tell the truth but the media has his back.
    I recall when he said "I want the spread the wealth around" and that somehow got blamed on a plumber for not having a license.
    I saw an actress cry more convincingly in a rented movie called Lucy earlier yesterday.
    Yep, the great and mighty O=0 pulled a Boehner boner, since the former RINO Chicken Speaker of the House really is an overgrown crybaby.
    Not the Chicken-In-Chief. He's just an overgrown embarrassment..

    The real issue is what's going on in the Middle East and at our borders. Watch the left hand while the right hand fiddles.
    This is diversionary smoke and mirrors from the master delusionist.

    I do not think Obama has the ability to feel for anyone but himself, and that is based on his ability to retain power. He is cold and calculating, but does not even have the IQ to handle complex decision making. He is a puppet for Jarrett and Soros. Either would and have screwed over hundreds of people. They are a group without conscience. Sorry O, Bill had it all over you with the "feel your pain" thing! Hillary is just as cold and calculating.They both want guns gone because the UN wants guns gone, and it will add to their power.

    Just a jab at the conservatives to rile them up, without correcting any problem that we have evidence of.
    The conservatives should open ridicule his behavior as unhelpful, spiteful, illegal, nonsense that it is, and make him out to be a spoiled, narcissist rat (that he is). "Oh, the king is dissatisfied with his dessert, and is throwing food...poor baby"
    We should not get upset publicly. It shows we acknowledge his power. We should treat it like a fly to be swatted, and then paint Hillary as the same big baby with the same fascist intentions.

    A panelist on Fox News Channel's "Outnumbered" program--it might have been Harris Faulkner, the hostess for the day--actually suggested inspecting the podium and searching for slivers of raw onion.

    The Obamanation surely has no respect for the people. He is the ultimate servitor of the special interest and his homies. Most of his changes are useless window dressing, probably leading up to the outraged "I have tried everything" rant and an EO trying to ban all gun sales. Won't work. If, as you said, they just did their damn jobs and followed up on things, a lot of this wouldn't happen. Instead of bleating Black Lives Matter, go in and pull the guns from every gansta boy in Shi@cago. But no, that would offend his homies. He is truly a model drawn from AS.

    I don't believe he has any concern for my kids. Not one bit. I understand his emotion. However, these odd requirements like the inclusion of the mysterious no-fly list...I just don't get it.

    With a heavy heart I must admit that I don't think these measures will reduce crime.

    Comment on comment this just in on Obama;s views of second amendment. First Obeyme then what he really believes.

    from townhall.com



    "I believe in the Second Amendment, it's written right there on the paper," Obama said.

    But Obama's history shows otherwise. Not only did he go around Congress today to push his gun control agenda, an action the American people condemn on a variety of issues, he supports extreme gun control measures that are contrary to the Second Amendment according to the multiple Supreme Court rulings. A few examples:

    -Obama supports a ban on handguns.

    -Obama has voted to ban common ammunition.

    -Obama has repeatedly voted against self-defense rights.

    -Obama has suggested in the past that gun dealers stop selling semi-automatic firearms (essentially all firearms). During his speech today, he praised dealers who have done so.

    -Obama believes in the "common-sense" gun laws of Australia and England, which required mass confiscation and gun bans.

    -Obama has been advocating for thousands of citizens to be stripped of their Second Amendment rights without due process for showing up on the extremely inaccurate, bloated and unreliable terror watch list.

    -Etc.

    President Obama never has been, and never will be, a believer in the Second Amendment.

    He doesn't believe in the Constitution either despite his oath of office, but then it's hard to impeach when most of Congress are co-conspirators.

    Subjective to the end. Now that the street theater is over let's turn to the objective points.

    Some years ago the nation passed 10,000 gun control laws en total. You can't slow down what isn't enforced.

    Some days ago o'boohoos did his worst job of acting yet.

    So what was the point? Like the other measures it's to protect the protective echelon and build a solid wall between a dictatorship and the nation.

    The true test will come up when he orders the military to take the field against the citizens and gives the order to fire.

    The Nuremberg defense won't work nor will failing to uphold their oath of office.

    Starting with the Chairman Of The Joint Chiefs of Staff and down to the newest raw recruit.

    Just to remind them when you see a soldier or sailor or airman and especially a Marine say "Thanks For Serving Our Constitution.'

    Sometimes a little smile, handshake and a phrase like that goes a long way.
