Opinion of Obama's gun speech today

[ProgressiveCanadian]

Unfortunately gun nuts, NRA and their Republican stooges prefer to see children massacred by madmen rather than accept common sense reforms.

Sad but true.

Yup. And Democrats absolutely love to see rape and sexual assault rather than dump rapist defender Hillary Clinton and serial harasser Bill Clinton.

This has nothing to do with this topic....Obviously no defense.

[ProgressiveCanadian]

Yes, yes. It is a pressing issue. Damn the fact that almost all of the shootings take place in crossroads for the drug war with lots of gun control to begin with. Take out the suicides and self defenses and we're as safe as Canada! If anything, make it EASIER to get a gun. Criminals will buy their guns on the black market, so it won't matter.

Sorry but Canada is much more safe then the US when taking guns into account.  All Canadians know that.

"Let no crisis go to waste," was a comment by Tony Rezko in 2008 regarding how Obama would handle a crisis. 

This is a political thing in general, not an Obama thing. Both parties do it. Bush did it, but really everyone was complicit in ramming the PATRIOT Act through so fast, you would have thought it was a bill to resurrect Jesus Christ himself. The very best examples come from presidential candidates. Every time something happens, somehow the incumbent will share blame in it no matter what. It's strategy.

Sometimes, things are just political, not partisan.

He needs to focus on things that actually matter like terrorism and voter fraud.  Poverty is still killing more people than bullets.

You don't read statistics do you?

People are still debating that Obamas speach and executive order was terrible?? Most Americans agree with his action time to accept it.

Gun rights are not more important then human rights. The founders who wrote the constitution would he rolling in there grave if they saw the gun nuts today. More guns equals more gun deaths that's a fact.

How are they mutually exclusive?  The right to self defense is an integral part of human rights.  Murder is murder no matter what it is committed with. 

 Americans are dying in mass shooting at an increasingly horrific rate and gun sales are also going up. That's how they are mutual.

According to the mass shooter database at leftist Mother Jones, there were 32 mass shootings in the US between 1981 and 2001. There were 41 mass shootings in the US between 2001 and 2015. In that time, the number of private guns has increased by around 1/3rd. So when for controlling for the increase in sales, mass shootings really haven't increased that horrifically; they're just more widely reported now that we have cable news and Huffington Post. Gun rights ARE human rights.

This is how crazed the United States has become with guns hey? Everyone needs a background check when you buy a gun. If you are on the terrorist watch list we shouldn't sell you guns either.

Gun control policy should reflect the original intent of the Founders. Accordingly, everyone should be allowed to own and openly carry as many muzzle-loading flintlock muskets as they would like.

The Constitution never explicitly says that people have a right to get abortions or a right to marry people of the same sex, but you folks on the left consider them constitutional rights regardless of that. How is the notion that the Constitution guarantees a right to own AR-15s (just to give an example of a modern gun) more absurd than the notion that it guarantees a right to get an abortion or guarantees two men a right to marry each other?

You sir are nuts.

When the Bill of Rights was ratified, all guns were military-style, so if anything a right to AR-15s is less permissive than it should be, since the common military infantryman uses an M-16.

Who cares??? What are you going to do with an AR-15 seriously?? You have got to know deep down if that gets in the wrong hands.... that's a bad idea. What's next Bazookas?!?

Americans, even progressive ones.  So don't be offended if we keep not caring what Canadians think about our Constitution.

It's an excuse that's what it is.
