Taya Kyle: Obama Doesn’t Know ‘What’s Best for Everyone’ on Guns
Kyle argued that gun sales are going up as a result of safety concerns, not fear that Obama will take guns away, while the president said states with tighter gun laws have lower crime rates than states with looser ones.
While it sounds like Taya doesn’t already know that murder is already illegal, she meant that Barack’s new restrictions wouldn’t stop people who don’t follow the law. “They can do the same amount of damage with a pipe bomb”.
In a statement, they said: “Three years ago, FAN was a strong supporter of the bi-partisan Manchin-Toomey proposal which would have expanded background checks had it not failed in the Senate”. 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.

Today was Shannon’s first time buying a gun, and she says she was happy with the process.

Writing in an oped titled “Guns Are Our Shared Responsibility”, the president informs readers that “I will not campaign for, vote for or support any candidate, even in my own party, who does not support common-sense gun reform”. Perhaps I could be sympathetic to gun owners’ rights if they supported my rights as a Black person or as a woman, but with few exceptions, gun enthusiasts tend not to believe in the parts of the Constitution that most impact me. The president has also called for the addition of 200 new Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to enforce current gun laws as well as an additional $500 million to increase access to mental health services.
Then, rather philosophically, Duke remarked that gun control measures were once put into place in the U.S.by Great Britain.
“Thank you for having the courage and leadership to take executive action on preventing more unnecessary gun violence in this country”, the letter says. He would not have been able to pass a background check to purchase the gun he used in the murders – but he avoided one by buying the gun online, one of the loopholes President Obama’s executive actions aim to help close. “I think that’s something we can debate”.
In her op-ed piece for CNN, Kyle wrote, “I have been touched by extreme violence and I have been robbed of the life I always wanted by someone who chose to do evil”.
