I didn't see a thread about this. I had thought that I would have; it was such an awesome speech by such an awesome president.

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

Common sense reforms that infringe the Second Amendment and increase bureaucracy. The NRA doesn't receive one penny of public funding, leave them alone. Stop using emotionally charged language. Violent crime is at an all time low in America.

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.

Alas, crying in public will have exactly the opposite effect of winning this war of public opinion against the gun nuts.  The only people moved by Obama's tears are the type of people that agree with him about this maddening situation anyway.

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

The gun nuts are freaking sickos, as they prove in this very thread. Their masculinity is so damn fragile, they'd rather have children slaughtered in mass shootings than have to find a new, less dangerous phallic symbol to empower themselves with. Sickos.

When Lief in his Trump-troll stage still manages to make more sense than you FreePhoenix, it's time to rethink your life.

Whyever should that be a reason to leave them alone?

And please do explain how the Second Amendment protects the gunshow loophole.

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

The mass shootings obscure the real problem with our overly lax gun laws.  I'm more concerned about the 99% of gun deaths that happen one or two at a time than I am with spree shootings that make the news.  Curbing even 5% of the non-spree gun deaths would save far more lives than if we were able to entirely eliminate spree shootings.

I'm not really sure what you think that graph proves. It certainly doesn't support your argument that more guns somehow decreases shooting deaths. So what's the point? That because violent crimes have ticked downwards slightly since 2009 we should never ever talk about gun control ever again? Despite the clever graphwork, that's still a lot of deaths. And why exactly shouldn't we consider suicides and accidental deaths as well?

I have to agree. I believe in a citizen's right to gun ownership, but sensible regulation needs to follow. I believe most gun owners are responsible people. It's the nutjobs who have the "pry it from my cold dead hands" mentality that really scares me. It does reek of fear and insecurity.


You need a license to drive a car, cur hair, or open a business in this country. I don't think requiring a license or a background check is really an infringement.

The real reason why Americans like to own guns is because they are pussies. REAL men use their own god-given hands to defend themselves rather than hiding behind a manufactured weapon.

Yes FreedomHawk has used that weird rhetoric before. Makes me lol though - "leave North Korea alone! They have never received public funding!"
