    This gun grab guarantees a rep victory

    If Obama really wanted guns out of the hands of nuts and criminals why did he do this thing which has made gun sales soar?

    I notice Obama used China as having gun laws we should emulate. CHINA? REALLY?

    So he's yours? Glad someone not on the payroll likes the fellow.

    Mildly, I beg you to note the trivial difference between a Bush executive order and an Obama law created under the fig leaf of an executive order.

    Bought a Ruger 101 this morning while BoBo was trampling the Constitution. My wife and plan to take a course for an enhanced concealed carry license in march.

    Lmao.

    Michelle is indecent and out of line for dancing the weekend after the Paris attacks.

    Barack is a deceitful snake whose tears over mass gun shootings cannot be trusted.

    The Obama's just can't win, can they?

    I believe BoBo plans to hire a few hundred new bureaucrats for the effort.

    The whiner in chief ? WTF !!! Crybaby jackass !!

    Did he sob when supplying guns to the Mexican drug cartels ? When funding Iran's massive terrorism network ? When letting our boys die in Benghazi ? When sending ISIS and AQ commanders back to the battlefield to kill more of us ?

    (*)(*)(*)(*) Obama.

    Good grief, what does quantity have to do with him overstepping his authority? What makes you think I supported every EO other Presidents have signed? GW gave us Obama and he is on the path to giving us Trump because of BS like this. I wonder what you say when Trumpies are defending EO by saying Obama did it first.

    Obama is such a poor leader he can't even get universal background checks through the democratic process even though most people support it. (*)(*)(*)(*) poor leadership and with the softening of time most of Obama's supporters will realize it too.

    There was a time in our history where everyone pretty much carried a gun. It was the wild wild west days. Towns had to go so far as to ban guns from entering a town.
    Can you imaging what it would be like today if everyone had a 6 shooter strapped to their waist?

    The only numb ones are those that care nothing about mass shootings. Else why would one make a statement of not knowing how one feels about it?

    When was the 1st time? The wild wild west?

    OK, I made it through 14 minutes of this, that's enough. The guy sighted Fort Hood. A Terrorist shot up an American military base and HIS administration classified it as workplace violence. Almost all of the examples he used happened in "gun FREE zones", yet, he didn't mention that little fact. Then, the little POS found time to mock people who might question his new one man mandate by reaching to a single time and incident without mentioning all details about what liberals actually wanted to pass as law. And the truly sickening thing about this using G. Gifford as a prop for this EO, as if she's the only person who's ever suffered from a violent act. What about the hundreds of blacks in Chicago, Philly & DC, Mr. Obama, why don't they get a mention? I'm sure you could have found one or two who've suffered the same or worse. But, no stage for them I guess.

    What a crock this is. Obama isn't being honest. He's pushing an agenda plain and simple. And, while he mocks those who disagree with him the little turd doesn't have the balls to actually take his proposal to American people in any way except BS announcements like this and some staged town hall that'll be equally as egotistically obnoxious as this.

    At best the anti-Christ will guarantee a Trump or Cruz presidency. At worst he will cause another civil war.

    His foreign policy is awful (not as bad as Bush's though) but he did the right thing here. Too bad the cowards who genuflect before the NRA will try to derail it or any sensible common sense gun control proposal.

    Because illegal laws passed by a President that will do nothing in the way of anything are so admirable. Some people must just like to watch Obama masturbate politically.

    He's what moves a progressive like himself.
    IN 33-MINUTE SPEECH ON GUNS, OBAMA REFERS TO HIMSELF 76 TIMES! That's more than twice every minute. Guess he really wants us to know what he wants & what he thinks because that's all that counts, right? I noticed when he refered to the 2nd the first time in his speech he said he knows it's on "that" paper. That paper? What a frikkin ass.

    Great show, obama should be an actor.

    The fact he resorts to emotion to push his illegal and unconstitutional gun control agenda reinforces the fact the gun banners are desperate. They have lost the factual battle, the facts show gun control is a failure. They have lost the people, the majority of the people of the USA support gun rights. They have lost Congress. They have lost almost all the states.

    All the gun banners can do is lie and cry.

    He said "we." That includes him. Are you saying he doesn't care about mass shootings?

    Sad you don't attempt to understand your enemy. He's sincere, but that doesn't mean his policy will help. Gun control movements after mass shootings come out of fear, not some conspiracy against rednecks who think they can fend off the gubmint with their pa's shotgun.

    Hilarious.
    How is this confusing? People become numb to horrible things when they happen all the time and this numbness is seen as tragic. But again, feeling wully sad about something doesn't mean you should do something about it if it won't help.

    I really don't think he is sincere. I believe he will do or say anything to benefit and advance his left-wing agenda, with gun control being a big aspect of it. He wants more division during this last year in office because he has nothing to lose, and dividing and conquering is what Marxists like him do under his conflict theory sociological perspective.

    It's not like I can read his mind, but that just doesn't ring true. Back when Obama was first elected, he seemed to really believe in compromising wherever possible and trying to find common ground. But it became clear that republicans would never support anything he suggests or compromise with him at all, even going so far as to almost shut down the government. He takes unilateral action because otherwise, almost nothing he believes in would ever have happened without a democratic supermajority. Most likely, he's just like most left wingers on gun control in that they want gun control because they think it will help with gun violence, and they feel like people are dying and they can do something about it. They're misguided, maybe stupid, but not doing things just to make you mad. What Obama most likely wants is to pass a gun control measure, and for gun violence to decrease, and then he'll say he told you so but primarily feel good about saving lives. That's probably his fantasy anyway - not what would really happen.
