Never let a tragedy go to waste is his motto.

As he told his comrade when caught on an open mike.... He will have more flexibility after the election. This is one item he did not touch during his first term, but if given the chance of a second term with no reelection consequences that will change dramatically along with the rest of his radical hopeless and change agenda.

This is just more good intentions, feel good, liberal politics. Take advantage of an emotional issue. Have we ended drunk driving with restrictive drunk driving laws? Have we ended cell phone use with restrictive cell phone use laws? Think of how much lower crime rates would be if criminals were treated like criminals and not victims.

Do we really need assault rifles? Could be worse, he could not let us keep any guns.

We have seen this so many time they do their work on the bodies of the dead. Such worthless bums.

i'm not at all surprised that FAUX news left out some of the rest of his speech...

In his broadest remarks on gun control yet in the aftermath of the mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater, President Barack Obama called late Wednesday for tougher background checks designed to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.

"A lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals -- that they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities," the president, who has called for reimposing the Assault Weapons Ban, said in a speech to the National Urban League.

"I believe the majority of gun owners would agree that we should do everything possible to prevent criminals and fugitives from purchasing weapons; that we should check someone's criminal record before they can check out a gun seller; that a mentally unbalanced individual should not be able to get his hands on a gun so easily," he said. "These steps shouldn't be controversial. They should be common sense."

But Obama also offered a nod to the difficult politics of gun control, portraying himself as a believer in the individual right to bear arms, and acknowledging that calls to action after an incident like the one in Aurora often fade.

"When there is an extraordinarily heartbreaking tragedy like the one we saw, there's always an outcry immediately after for action. And there's talk of new reforms, and there's talk of new legislation," Obama said in his speech. "And too often, those efforts are defeated by politics and by lobbying and eventually by the pull of our collective attention elsewhere."

"And I, like most Americans, believe that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms. And we recognize the traditions of gun ownership that passed on from generation to generation -— that hunting and shooting are part of a cherished national heritage," he said.

he's promoting tougher background checks and nothing more. also promotes the 2nd ammendment. crazy talk about "what if's" is what's driving up the prices and demand on things for no reason.

When the people fear their own government, there is Tyranny.
When the government fears it's own people, there is Liberty.

Go back to school you fool.
