In a truly crass but unsurprising move to take advantage of the tragic shooting that occurred in Colorado Springs, Colorado on Friday, President Obama took to the airwaves to reference the loss of life as a means of launching a political screed about gun control.
In the attack, the shooter took several hostages and killed three, but was ultimately subdued and taken into custody by police after a 6 hour standoff. The suspect, Robert Louis Dear, 57, lives in a cabin in North Carolina without running water or electricity and is known to be a loner and eccentric, with no known associations to political or other radical organizations.
Rather than focus on the tragic loss of life, Obama chose to talk about the need to remove guns from the streets, and relatives of the victims can be rightly vexed with his unfeeling attempt to use their loss in order to push his agenda of gun control.
There are those who also wonder why the president is so determined to disarm America, or at least the law-abiding citizens who would be affected by such gun control measures. Criminals will not be inclined to hand over their guns if Obama gets his way.
Obama did not mention the numbers of citizens killed over the weekend in his hometown of Chicago, but he surely was living up the the adage of his friend Rohm Emmanuel who suggested he should never let a good crisis go to waste.

Obama has learned from$#%&!@*that the subjects won’t get on the train to the gas chamber if they’re still armed.

“Enough is enough”, that’s what I think every time you open your pie hole to spew c**p, POTUS.
More control doesn’t stop criminals from killing people.
Screw that. What part of citizens are our country’s last line of defense in a time of war does obama not understand. If anything we need less gun control to build our country’s arsenal of citizens with guns. Of course we are going to have a few bad apples that abuse that privilege but that’s why we have prisons.
When this country had a moral backbone, we had facilities for those with mental illnesses, but corruption eventually closed them down and put the mentally ill on the streets. Now, we have a psychopath in the highest office of the land, and here are the results.
Lets start by taking away the guns that protect his family
Stop murdering babys.
Once again a person with mental problems and a problem with abortion clinic selling body parts. If a person was carrying in the clinic, he might have been shot on the spot after ramming the building with a military truck.
Go to the devil you evil ba—–!!!!
How about better mental health care. Then again, he did destroy medical care for a lot of people who had insurance and can no longer afford it or their cost went up immensely.
