Gun enthusiasts react to Obama’s executive actions on gun control

Unbeknownst to President Obama, Taya Kyle, the widow of “American Sniper” Chris Kyle was also in attendance, and had a question that left the president struggling for a legitimate response. But one issue that has haunted him is gun control reform, as there have been several mass shootings that have taken the lives of innocent adults and children under his presidency.

“We were the only voice there and that’s really important”, said Pennock.

Under current law, a background check to the Federal Bureau of Investigation is not gun-specific; only the identity of the transferor and the transferee are entered into record. The FBI should process the checks 24/7 with a group of new agents and notify states when someone has illegally tried to buy a gun. He hoped to sell his grandfather’s World War II rifle and expand his views on gun control laws. “I’m only going to be here for another year”. Winter is a busy time for gun sales in Florida.

I don’t know whether to call you ignorant, a racist or both. “If things stay just as they are, things are not going to get better on their own”, Clark said.

“I don’t know that any of them would have been stopped by a background check”, Kyle told Obama in front of the live CNN audience.

All of us need to demand leaders fearless enough to stand up to the gun lobby’s lies. If they are intent on getting a firearm, they will get one illegally, like those who are killing each other every day in cities such as Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit and Los Angeles. Then President Obama began his reply. “There’s a very serious concern in this country about personal security”. “It’s there written on the paper”.

Trump boldly asserted: “Pretty soon, you won’t be able to get guns”, which is an absolute lie. Former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield were ambushed on February 2, 2013, at a Texas gun range by PTSD-afflicted Eddie Ray Routh.

While she rarely addresses this issue in her speeches, the First Lady was apparently moved to following the death of Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old honours student who was gunned down in Chicago in January of that year.

Also Thursday the president announced he would not support any candidate, even from his own party, who did not support the same kind of “common sense” gun laws he did. I think two people died with that one. Criminally minded individuals would find another way to get a gun. “Adding another layer of bureaucracy just makes the law-abiding citizen have to jump through more hoops”.

In years past, there appeared to be more patience for a diversity of opinions. Pelosi of California said during a news conference.

Want to see existing laws enforced? Something is coming and our governments are purposely allowing gun violence in order to have a reason to restrict gun ownership and eventually collect the guns.

Licensed gun dealers must run background checks on all buyers, whether the purchase is made in a store, in their living room or at a gun show.

That would require those sellers to conduct background checks on buyers – currently, someone who isn’t classified as a dealer doesn’t have to conduct those checks. Amendments can only be altered by the states and the Congress, and only the Congress can make laws. “However, FAN applauds the President for doing what he can within his legal abilities”. The effort was launched after the San Bernardino, Calif., attack that killed 14 in December.

What the law says: A handful of states, including Iowa, now accept certification done entirely online for people seeking concealed-carry permits.
