Pssst, Barry, decriminalize the drugs!

Obama pledges to "reduce gun violence"

Nice, so we are getting rid of all gun laws?

[MJU1983]

What a moron.

Your anti-party deviationism has been noted, comrade.

"But I also believe that 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."


Ummm who is this exactly? I am sure you would like that, just a few .22 in a house against 100+ fully tactical loaded military grade weapons. I mean it is not like this country ever had a civil war or had its citizens defend for themselves.

But you heard it from him, if you own a Ak-47 legal, you are a criminal.

Yeah, I really want all the powerful guns in the hands of some of the most sadistic killers in society. What a great idea! Let's load up our "protectors," the police, with a bunch or more powerful weapons as well while we are at it.

lulz, of course it is.

[TheTexan]

Just make violence illegal

[cstarace]

Just make violence illegal
Can't. By definition we'd be eradicating the government. They may be incompetent but they aren't self-destructive.

well, if thats what it takes to get you to conform and comply...so be it.

Of course, if not for the current regime, all of my study of communist methods of propaganda, agitation, and control would be useless.

[Liberty74]

But But But the Brady Bill and the 5000 plus other gun control laws were to do the same thing. So why does Obama have to come out and say he wants to reduce gun voilence? People who use agressive voilence is someone who goes against privat property rights. That's those on the Left and even some on the Right. Advocate private property rights and the respect of such!

Is Obama going to stop killing thousands of people overseas including our soldiers in useless non winnable wars?

[Dr.3D]

There isn't a damned thing he can do to "reduce gun violence". That is not unless he takes away the incentive. End the war on drugs and of course there would be much less "gun violence".

Faced with a clamor in his party for stricter gun control in the wake of the Colorado movie-theater massacre, President Obama said Wednesday night he would “leave no stone unturned” in seeking new measures to reduce violence nationwide, including more restrictive background checks on gun purchases.

“A lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals,” Mr. Obama said at the annual National Urban League convention in New Orleans. “They belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities.”

The president blamed “politics and lobbying” for defeating gun-control measures when outcries arise after mass shootings in the U.S. And he said the nation’s attention should not just be focused on mass shootings, such as the one on Friday in Aurora, Colo., but on the daily shooting deaths of youths from gun violence in major cities.

Here it comes.
