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.

Gun control is not a mental health remedy.
He is right America has had enough of bama,wr want to see him leave now,no more stupid laws.
Once again it was a stereotypical liberal that did the shooting. Maybe we should just keep gender confused liberals on psychotropic drugs from owning guns?
If Obama has his way the only people left with guns will be the crooks and the government.
I agree enough is enough Obama, surrender YOUR guns and YOUR terrorist friends.Then we can talk about your war crimes against humanity and set a nice lengthy stay for you in Solitary Confinement. 2nd Amendment Right all the way USA !
It should be more mental people off the street
barry the face of Evil
Enough of Obama.
We loyal Americans, of which you are NOT one, want to tell you, that WHEN you enforce all the laws already on the books, and have been for years, THEN and only THEN will the LOYAL Americans consider new laws. You took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and you have done everything you could do to destroy it. SO, act like an American, and we MIGHT listen to your big mouth.
It’s not the guns, you POC! It’s the crazies! If you, and other administrations, had built mental facilities to house these nut jobs, you know, like we USED to have before these shootings became the norm, then we would not be having this problem. If you had taken the money that you, Clinton, Bush, have spent on ILLEGAL ALIENS for welfare, food stamps, free housing, etc., you could have built such facilities all over this country and still had money left over. These crazies need care, guidance, and treatment, BEFORE they go on their killing sprees. At one time, families could have disturbed children and other family members committed for treatment and who knows better than family members that something is terribly wrong with that son, daughter, brother, Mother, etc.? Even though it wasn’t called that back then, PC caused all of these facilities to shut their doors and we all, now, see the consequences. Today, if the crazy says he is not crazy, then he wont be admitted. Even if his actions show that he really is nuts, they will admit him but, 90 days later, as a rule, the nut-job can just walk out if he acted somewhat normal during those 90 days. In short, if this country does not return to treating, and this could mean locking them up for their life time if necessary, these dangerous psychos(today they are labeled as mentally unbalanced), then you will never stop these types of killings. It’s just common sense but, that is a frame of mind that is in very short supply in our country
