Here’s The Kind Of Control Gun Advocates Can Get Behind
On Tuesday, Obama spoke at the White House surrounded by family members of people killed in shootings.
President of the club Jesse Weston says, “The way I see it, none of these (new) laws would have prevented any of the recent, or former gun violence attacks”.
“Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad, ” he said.
But loopholes exist: if it takes longer than three days to run the checks, the person is free to purchase the gun, and the federal law doesn’t apply to sales at gun shows or to private sales.
A Minnesota mother was there while President Barack Obama laid out his plan for executive action on gun control Tuesday.
The Obama administration is also proposing an investment of $500 million for increased access to mental health care.
The National Rifle Association, though, blasted the move, tweeting out that the actions wouldn’t improve public safety.
Leading Republicans predictably -and pathetically – mocked the president’s intentions.
Biden said he’s met with the parents who lost their children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown and said they “share a lousy thing in common” with the loss of a child.
“I think it steps on your second amendment a lot and some of it may be good, as far as the mental health and all, I gotta go along with that”.
Priller said doesn’t expect his business will be hurt by the president’s announcement.
Still, Udall added that he supports “the rights of law-abiding New Mexicans who want to use guns for hunting, self-protection or recreation”.
He did do it through an executive order, an approach that’s often unpopular with the party that doesn’t control the White House. That’s the topic at hand for President Obama. “There are now no requirements from the ATF other than it is against the law to sell to somebody you know, or have reason to believe is federally prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm”.
“From day one, the president has never respected the right to safe and legal gun ownership that our nation has valued since its founding”.
