[rareboy]

Ok.

So the prez has now spoken.

Obviously no one will be happy.

Tell us why.

President Barack Obama proposed a new assault weapons ban and mandatory background checks for all gun buyers on Wednesday in a bid to channel national outrage over the Newtown school massacre into the biggest U.S. gun-control push in generations.

Rolling out a wide-ranging plan for executive and legislative action to curb gun violence, Obama set up a fierce clash with the powerful U.S. gun lobby and its supporters in Congress, who are expected to resist what they see as an encroachment on constitutionally protected gun rights.

Following up on the New York legislation....will this move the discussion forward or create a national power struggle gridlock and thus kill any country wide effective response?

So can we expect the Mayors and Governors from all the states who disagree with him to say they won't enforce his legislation?

Shame on both the NRA and Obama for using young children as pawns for their own agenda.

Good, the mandatory background check is way overdue.

 

[Jack Springer]

We need mandatory background checks. Obama isn't using young children for her agenda. This wake up call is long overdue. It's time for some real action and tougher restrictions. Nobody is calling for the ban of guns, but there is no reason for anyone to own assault rifles.

That's not using children for an agenda. He truly cares about the safety of children. Stick to reality.

He has two girls hardly all that much older than that, I'm sure the issue is something he legitimately cares about too.

You don't think almost everyone in the USA cares about children too?

He used them.

What if a republican President brought out kids like that to make a point about all the babies that had been killed by abortion? You would have been angry.

Welcome to politics Jack.

Save your outrage for something remotely outrageous.

Just heard the remarks of Rush Limbaugh saying Obama used the children as shield. Typical of Rush the far right and NRA. Ever since Obama was elected in 2008 the NRA claims Obama is out take your guns. To NRA please the names of individuals who gusnn have been TAKEN. Put up or shut up.

Well, except abortion is NOT universally recognized as murder. Killing living children with firearms is

There's always that, too..

The reality is that Obama cares about Obama and little else.
He doesn't give a flying fuck about those kids, except as pawns in his little game.

 

[rareboy]

^ And of course....your naked and ridiculous Obama Hate adds something of substance to the actual topic???

Oh No.

Wait a minute.

Your response was exactly what I was expecting from the frothing 'I HATE Obama' crowd. How the Fuck are litle kids a pawn in some game to get more responsible gun control measures....how desperate are you people?

How does this legislation help Obama personally and to which little game of Obama's are you referring?

Does everyone here remember that our beloved resident Republicans started a thread about how the woman photographed in the picture with Obama hasn't received any Sandy relief?

As I recall the thread was started as a criticism of Obama.

Oh how the song has changed now that Republicans are blocking the relief efforts.

Obama wasn't using children as shields.

This is using a child as a shield:

If you (collectively) can't tell the difference, God help you.

Abortion is murder. Dogs or cats are not growing inside a pregnant woman --- it's a real human being.

That woman is still waiting for help. FEMA has enough money to help right now without the extra money from Congress.

Another hollywood film glorifying guns and killing.
