Now, over the next couple of months, we’ve got a couple of issues: gun control. (Applause.) I just came from Denver, where the issue of gun violence is something that has haunted families for way too long, and it is possible for us to create common-sense gun safety measures that respect the traditions of gun ownership in this country and hunters and sportsmen, but also make sure that we don’t have another 20 children in a classroom gunned down by a semiautomatic weapon -- by a fully automatic weapon in that case, sadly.

Ah ha ha ha, HA. The REAL funny part is that people will BELIEVE HIM!

[erowe1]

Which side is he trying to help by saying that the gun used was one that's already been illegal for decades?

Bloomberg doesn't know the difference either.

Not sure how you're supposed butcher a deer if you use dynamite to kill it. What a mess.

[Pericles]

Sporting purpose? Tyrants are always in season, and there is no limit.

[DamianTV]

Im quite sure the article will fail to show that the shooter was being prescribed anti-depressants.

^ That's a good one.

An American should be able to walk into the corner market and buy a FULLY automatic rifle and ammunition, no questions asked, no permits required, no records kept. Period. If a US soldier carries one, our continued freedom depends on EVERYONE being able to carry one. This was the opinion of the Founders and the intent of the Second Amendment.

[A Son of Liberty]

I'm starting to lose my patience with this shit.

I think I'll step away from it for a while. Especially since the bastards are fleecing me extra good and hard this tax season.

This SHIT HAS A SHELF LIFE.

Even the DUers are admitting it, the left's lack of gun knowledge is the reason why they say they're losing the war over gun control.

Come on now, they don't have the time to keep these trivial details straight with Dancing with the Stars back on and everything. Besides, there were like hundreds of bullets fired with those magazines of mass destruction! Hundreds! Are you sure it wasn't a fully automatic? And to think it all could have been avoided if people would just accept the truth that we should all only be allowed to have muskets anyways. /s

Why dont he focus on finding that second shooter they originally claimed?

Is it too much to expect the president to know which guns he is trying to ban? Does Obama actually think that machine guns are readily available to civilians, that they are legal in Connecticut, and that Lanza's mother bought one there for her collection? After more than two decades of debate about "assault weapon" bans, does he honestly not understand the difference between those arbitrarily prohibited firearms and machine guns? Or, since the misconception that "assault weapons" fire more rapidly than other semi-automatic firearms seems to be one the main reasons people think it makes sense to ban them, is Obama deliberately misleading the public? Is it appalling ignorance or calculated deception? The clues suggest the former, but I'm not sure which is worse.

It doesn't matter.

Guns're bad, mmm'kay?

I'm pretty sure it was an RPG. Possibly a Stinger. At the least a Gatling gun.

[matt0611]

I've heard conflicting reports that he even did not even use his semi-automatic rifle.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

[phill4paul]

Hush now. Just because every school/mass shooting has witnesses that say that there were more people involved than officially reported doesn't mean we should take eye witness reports into account. Excepting, of course, those eye witness reports that fit the narrative.

[pcosmar]

Are you sure it wasn't a fully automatic?

Nope. And I'm not sure that some SWAT idiot didn't trip over his dick and light up a whole room of kids.

But that would NEVER be reported as such.
