This is Phil Rucker of the Washington Post
President Obama called on Congress on Tuesday to revisit gun control legislation, saying in the wake of Monday's deadly mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard that lawmakers should take what he considers "basic actions" to toughen the nation's gun laws.
In an interview with the Spanish-language television network Telemundo, Obama said the country's background check system for gun buyers is so weak it makes the United States vulnerable to mass shootings, such as the one last December that killed 26 small children at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn."You know, I do get concerned that this becomes a ritual that we go through every three, four months, where we have these horrific mass shootings," Obama said in the interview. "Everybody expresses understandable horror. We all embrace the families — and obviously our thoughts and prayers are with those families right now as they're absorbing this incredible loss. And yet we're not willing to take some basic actions."
The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting propelled gun safety to the top of Obama's second-term legislative agenda, but Senate Republicans as well as some Democrats in April blocked a proposal to expand background checks.
"You have a majority of the American people and even a large percentage of Republicans who are ready to move the country forward, and yet we keep on getting blocked," Obama said. "It's a challenge that I'm speaking out on, but ultimately we're also gonna meet pressure from the public to see if we can change how they do business up there."
More lies and bullshit from the Obama, who is the large percentage? I hate to be cruel but the Washington Navy Yard count was like many weekend in Chi-Town as the gang bangers fight for drug territory. But do you here a peep from the MSM? No of course you don't.
One again for the sheep to understand , Gun control the way the leftist look at it is a road to confiscation pure and simple. There ultimate goal is to disarm Americans so we can all be subservient to the government
Please remember 5 points including one of our founder Ben Franklin s quote..
1. Disarmament is a prelude to genocide!
2. Free men own guns, slaves don't!
3. Be your own first responder!
4. The experts (Obummer, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Hitler) all agree, gun control works!
5. “Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who kept their swords.” -Benjamin Franklin
Stay safe out there and pray for the country.
