Obama reportedly mulls exec action on gun checks ahead of Ore. visit

Chicago is usually given as an example of the failure of gun control.

A bank that gave away a hunting rifle when opening a new account, a department store that sold semi-automatic ammunition next to the homewares, and a retired actor who couldn’t or wouldn’t directly address NRA rallies being held following the school shooting of a 6-year-old in Moore’s home town.

The thing about guns is that they are wonderfully glamorous, thanks to a constant barrage of movies and video games. The change in status would require these sellers to perform background checks on potential buyers before they make a sale.

The Washington Post writes that dealers who exceed a certain number of sales per year “would be required to obtain a license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives”. And all such checks should be conducted at all guns shows. Why the NRA and the Congress oppose this is incomprehensible. He won’t, because as he admitted, he wants to “politicize” the Oregon shooting.

“This will not be one of those cases where it will be tough for anyone to establish standing or prove injury through this measure to sue the president”, von Spakovsky said. Donald Trump suggested that if the college where the shooting took place hadn’t been a gun-free zone, an armed student or teacher might have taken the shooter down much earlier.

It is likely that if the American people were provided verifiable data and reasonable restrictions that allowed honest, law-abiding citizens to own firearms, there would be a positive response. He said other nations also have mentally ill residents who want to harm others, but the United States is alone in the sheer depth of the problem.

The Second Amendment Foundation today is launching a national television campaign challenging lies told by President Barack Obama about guns and crime, and is urging viewers to call a toll-free number and express their opinion about the president’s efforts to push his gun control agenda.

Who belongs to a “well regulated militia”? He noted how America has been through mass shootings “too many times”. We already have enough guns in private hands to arm everybody in America.

There is also a powerful lobby for whom the right to own a gun is a fundamental liberty.

But the school shootings are the worst – these awful acts of mass murder, becoming more and more familiar, like the sickest of fads.

“We’re fed up with the president’s repeated exploitation of tragedies to promote a failed agenda of public disarmament”, said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb.

What the Middle East needs is winners!

So in this instance, let’s see what we agree on. The ayatollahs are winners. We must advocate and vote to support healthy communities who can live without fear of ruthless random killings of each other, and any living beings. Rather, we all suffer from a culture that increasingly values domination over cooperation, intimidation over nurturance, violence over life.

It is inconceivable to me how the nations of the world can sit still and seem totally uninvolved while this evil dictator is driving his people out Syria. We, as a society, have to face the fact that we are not, collectively, being responsible gun owners.

He explained that he couldn’t even imagine why this individual did what he did, but he can obviously say that anybody who could do this has a sickness in his mind.

With the sun-drenched White House behind him, a prominent Baptist pastor spoke at a news conference that I attended in Lafayette Park yesterday.

The downtown areas in these cities were crowded, the shops were full and the cities were generating income.
