Obama vows to politicize fight for tighter gun laws

UP to 10 people are dead after a 20-year-old man opened fire at Umpqua Community College in the state of Oregon.

Obama, visibly frustrated and shaken during his address, is once again advocating for responsible gun laws in America, because as the President stated, the current regulations do nothing to prevent similar situations from happening elsewhere in the country.

What’s more, a few of the gun controls that are often proposed probably wouldn’t achieve very much.

Oregon Governor Kate Brown says, “I know I am joined by my fellow Oregonians and Americans in profound dismay and heartbreak at this tragedy at Umpqua Community College”. Obama also fielded questions about Syria, Russia, the debt ceiling and government funding fight. But then that all changed in the late morning, West Coast time, a community college in southern Oregon, where once again the only weapon of mass destruction worth talking about in this country was a gun.

But that report also identified nine shootings “in” Texas schools, only one of which actually took place in a school, and in that case was an accidental discharge of a firearm by a student with blank ammunition. “He’s politicizing his anti-gun agenda”. And this is not something I can do by myself.

Using numbers from the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, CNN reported that 316,545 people died by firearms on U.S. soil from 2004 to 2013 – a thousand times more than 313 killed by terrorism.

Thursday in Oregon, there was another mass shooting.

“So the notion that gun laws don’t work, or just will make it harder for law-abiding citizens and criminals will still get their guns is not borne out by the evidence”, said the US President.

And I’m, deeply saddened about what happened yesterday, but Arne’s going back to Chicago. These incidents have become imbedded in the life of America. “And we will have to change”.

Epidemiological studies have found that people with serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are somewhat more likely to be violent than healthy people.

Those who indicated they were Christian were fatally shot. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day.

“Oregonians everywhere want Roseburg to know we’re praying for them”, tweeted Sen.

A statement from Eibel’s family says he volunteered at a wildlife center and animal shelter.

Gonzales recommends strong background checks in every state, stricter gun storage laws to keep guns away from children, and harsher penalties for those who sell guns illegally.

According to Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun-control group founded by New York City’s former mayor Michael Bloomberg, 88 people are killed by gun violence in America each day.

“Yes, Speaker (John) Boehner’s decision to step down complicates it, but I do think there’s a path for us to come up with a reasonable agreement for us to raise the spending caps above sequester and properly finance both our defense and non-defense needs, that maintains a prudent control of our deficits, and we can do that in short order”.
