Obama moves to ‘shame’ Congress into approving gun control package

Republican Sen. Mike Lee, of Utah, ripped the president for the remarks, suggesting he was exploiting the Newtown tragedy.

“The proposals the president is calling for Congress to pass would primarily serve to reduce the constitutionally protected rights of law-abiding citizens while having little or no effect on violent crime,” Lee said in a statement. “It is deeply unfortunate that he continues to use the tragedy at Newtown as a backdrop for pushing legislation that would have done nothing to prevent that horrible crime.”

Obama lied to the American people when he was running for president.

I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in people’s lawful right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away,”

Climate alarmists believe that punishing hard working Americans will make the climate better in China.

Similarly, lefties believe that disarming hard working Americans will make them safer from people like this.

One security guard is all that is needed. Lanza, Holmes and Breivik all gave up as soon as the police arrived.

It is about leftists hating America and Americans. These guys are their heroes.

Last year, climate experts told us that the weather in Chicago and DC proved that the planet had died of overheating.

I was listening to NPR last night, and Obama was very upset that his plan to use Sandy Hook as an excuse to destroy the Second Amendment wasn’t working as well as he had hoped.

He was saying that anyone who disagreed with his plans is basically an evil child killer, and he cited polls saying that 90% of Americans wanted to make their schools safer by preventing mass murderers from getting guns, falsely implying that they supported his Constitutional rights grab.

NPR casually mentioned at the end of their anti-Bill of Rights rant, that most of the states are planning to block any new Federal gun legislation.

Remember last year when the team couldn’t stop talking about 1:3 ratios? Now we have 35:1 ratios – and they are completely silent.

By contrast, in Florida they are protecting their school children.

Public and private school principals could designate teachers and other school employees who would carry concealed weapons on campus at all times in an effort to make schools safer, under legislation that won approval Wednesday from a Florida House committee.

It gives principals the option to designate one or several school employees to carry concealed weapons. The designee would be required to complete the same training that bank and courthouse security guards complete in addition to the statewide firearms training. Principals could also decline the concealed weapons option altogether.

Proponents of the bill argued that since the state can’t afford to put a school resource officer on every campus, the gun legislation is a commonsense alternative.

“I want my children safe and in our overwhelming desire to protect our children with gun free zones we have inadvertently made them the ideal sterile target for a madman and the unwillingness of people to confront that reality is unacceptable,” said the bill’s co-sponsor Rep. Dennis Baxley.
