White House official: Obama will tackle 'very important issue' of gun control

[ThirdWatcher]

There's always the chance the checkered pants wearing Republicans screw us as well, in the name of "reaching across the aisle".....

This has happened all too often.

Allow me to adjust my tinfoil, ever so slightly. I used to think that many of these shootings were somehow orchestrated by the anti-gunners of this country. It seems as if at the right moment when some legislation was pending or discussion of gun control would come up we would have a rash of shootings.

I really start to wonder sometimes. Just look at the incidents of the last couple of weeks beginning with Tucson.

Just look at the response from the gun grabbers just minutes after the shootings- they use the blood of the fallen to further their twisted, anti liberty agenda.

Tinfoil on!

Ever hear of MKULTRA? Pretty much the whole lone suicide assassin scenario training program.

Tinfoil off!

I seriously wouldn't put anything past these people.

Zealots can justify anything to advance their agenda

Any excuse will fit a tyrant.

Meanwhile FL is looking to introduce new gun laws after the LEO shootings here in FL and around the country, to allow people who have a CCW license, to open carry as a deterrent to folks like the AZ MoFo who shot all those people. Once implemented, hopefully, it will spread nationally.

I think standard capacity mags are most in jeopardy. Particularly with the parroting of the media that he had huge mags and was only stopped because he had to reload.

Lets hope the illogical grabbers stick to an all or nothing plan because I don't see anything sweeping being passed -- but sneaking in a mag ban is the kind of thing I can see being "compromised" into action.

And by "compromised" I mean we take a huge hit and get nothing for it, as usual.

The ends justifies any means. They have been doing this for years. For example, When felons are caught for violent crime, why is it the first charges plea bargained away are the firearms charges? Especially considering the crime took place in a urban anti gun community and is being prosecuted by an anti gun prosecutor?

Newsweek article

"But in the next two weeks, the White House will unveil a new gun-control effort in which it will urge Congress to strengthen current laws, which now allow some mentally unstable people, such as alleged Arizona shooter Jared Loughner, to obtain certain assault weapons, in some cases without even a background check."

Yeah, that's great, except this was an illegal purchase, because Loughner lied on the 4473... There is room for improvement in the NICS, but that is not what this is actually about, is it? Color me skeptical.

"The White House said that to avoid being accused of capitalizing on the Arizona shootings for political gain, Obama will address the gun issue in a separate speech, likely early next month."
