According to Reuters<\/a>, the President gave a radio address yesterday and his chosen subject was proposing more gun control;<\/p>\n

Obama, in his weekly recorded address, said on Friday he has received “too many letters from parents, and teachers, and kids, to sit around and do nothing.”<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Frustrated by Congress, Obama has vowed to use “whatever power this office holds” to put in place gun control measures.<\/p>\n

“We know that we can’t stop every act of violence,” Obama said. “But what if we tried to stop even one? What if Congress did something \u2013 anything \u2013 to protect our kids from gun violence?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yep, “do something” – that’s reason enough to take rights away from Americans. Now, if you look back at the mass shootings that the media likes to point at as reasons to “do something” – the shooting of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting, the school shooting in Connecticut, the church shooting in South Carolina, the on-air murder of news people in Virginia, and most recently, the San Bernadino terrorist attack none of those people should have been able to buy guns. The things that they did to get guns was either illegal already, or a failure of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS. In other words, if the President wanted to do something meaningful in regards to the use of guns in crimes, he’d fix the NICS system, something that he can actually accomplish with just an Executive Order. Something that him and his predecessors should have already done.<\/p>\n

But, no, that wouldn’t make sense to the gun grabbers – it doesn’t take any rights from legitimate gun owners. If the President actually did do something that impacted gun violence, it wouldn’t get the gun grabbers any closer to their goal of taking all guns from all Americans. According to the Reuters article, the President had a meeting with gun grabbers to ask them how he could make them happy and it was their idea to close private sales, so the rumor is that the President wants to expand who will require a Federal Firearms License in order to transfer the ownership of firearms. To make more sales subjected to the NICS background checks – the NICS background checks which are designed, like TSA searches at the airport, to only make people *feel* safer – not actually make them any safer. if the intent of the NICS checks was to actually make us safer, the President would be focused on fixing the broken system instead of creating more work for the already broken system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
