Shocking? Well, not really. He was at Newtown, Connecticut yesterday, lighting candles and paying lip service to the tragedy there on it’s first anniversary. Anyway, Fox News<\/a> reports his remarks;<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to do more to keep dangerous people from getting their hands on a gun so easily. We have to do more to heal troubled minds,\u201d the president said in his weekly radio address, before he and first lady Michelle Obama remembered the shooting victims and their families in a moment of silence. They also lit a candle for each victim during a White House event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to do everything we can to protect our children from harm and make them feel loved, and valued and cared for,\u201d the president said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I agree completely, those are things we should try to accomplish. But, you know, that’s not what he wants to do, really. The anti-gun fascists want to keep guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens. That’s what will make them feel safer. <\/p>\n

Adam Lanza tried to purchase a firearm, but existing gun laws prevented that from occurring, so he murdered his mother and stole her guns, the guns that she owned legally, so the only way that the Sandy Hook tragedy could have been prevented was if the government had confiscated all of the guns in Connecticut. Or they could have institutionalized Lanza. Jared Loughner bought his handgun legally, despite the fact that local law enforcement had several encounters with him and should have arrested him, giving him a record of anti-social behavior which might have prevented him from buying a gun. James Holmes bought his guns legally, despite the fact that he had sent to his doctor a notebook which contained his plans to carry out an attack like the one he did in Aurora, Colorado. The doctor just never reported it to police. <\/p>\n

Like in so many other instances, the president’s words don’t match his intentions. Legislation in Congress only focused on making it harder for people who obey laws to buy guns, not the people who buy their guns in dark parking lots. <\/p>\n

Only 2% of convicted criminals admit that they got their firearms arms at gun shows or other private sales, yet that’s the target of gun-grabbers. None of the perpetrators of the so-called “mass shootings” ever acquired their guns that way – they all showed signs of being unable to responsibly own guns – but they still got their hands on them. Not because existing laws failed, but rather because feeling good about ourselves trumps public safety. No one wants to take responsibility for getting potential criminals off of the streets. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
