Our so called president

[6ANut]

I just got this email from the white house.

 

Dear Brian:

 

Thank you for taking the time to write. I have heard from many Americans regarding firearms policy and gun violence in our Nation, and I appreciate your perspective. From Aurora to Newtown to the streets of Chicago, we have seen the devastating effects gun violence has on our American family. I join countless others in grieving for all those whose lives have been taken too soon by gun violence.

 

Like the majority of Americans, I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. In this country, we have a strong tradition of gun ownership that has been handed down from generation to generation. Hunting and sport shooting are part of our national heritage. Yet, even as we acknowledge that almost all gun owners in America are responsible, when we look at the devastation caused by gun violence—whether in high-profile tragedies or the daily heartbreak that plagues our cities—we must ask ourselves whether we are doing enough.

 

While reducing gun violence is a complicated challenge, protecting our children from harm should not be a divisive one. Most gun owners agree that we can respect the Second Amendment while keeping an irresponsible, law-breaking few from inflicting harm on a massive scale. Most also agree that if we took commonsense steps to curtail gun violence, there would be fewer atrocities like the one that occurred in Newtown. We will not be able to stop every violent act, but if there is even one thing we can do to reduce gun violence—if even one life can be saved—then we have an obligation to try.

 

That is why I asked Vice President Joe Biden to identify concrete steps we can take to keep our children safe, help prevent mass shootings, and reduce the broader epidemic of gun violence in this country. He met with over 200 groups representing a broad cross-section of Americans and heard their best ideas. I have put forward a specific set of proposals based off of his efforts, and in the days ahead, I intend to use whatever weight this office holds to make them a reality.

 

My plan gives law enforcement, schools, mental health professionals, and the public health community some of the tools they need to help reduce gun violence. These tools include strengthening the background check system, helping schools hire more resource officers and counselors and develop emergency preparedness plans, and ensuring mental health professionals know their options for reporting threats of violence. And I directed the Centers for Disease Control to study the best ways to reduce gun violence—because it is critical that we understand the science behind this public health crisis. From improving mental health services to looking more closely at a culture that too often glorifies violence, we must leave no stone unturned when working to keep Americans safe.

 

As important as these steps are, they are not a substitute for action from Congress. To make a real and lasting difference, members of Congress must also act. As part of my comprehensive plan, I have called on them to pass some specific proposals right away. First, it is time to require a universal background check for anyone trying to buy a gun. Second, Congress should renew the 10-round limit on magazines and reinstate and strengthen the assault weapons ban. We should get tougher on those who buy guns with the purpose of selling them to criminals, and we should impose serious punishments on anyone who helps them do this.

 

These are reasonable, commonsense measures that have the support of the majority of the American people. But change will not come unless the American people demand it from their lawmakers. Now is the time to do the right thing for our children, our communities, and the country we love. We owe the victims of heartbreaking national tragedies and the countless unheralded tragedies each year nothing less than our best effort—to seek consensus in order to save lives and ensure a brighter future for our children.

 

Thank you, again, for writing. I encourage you to visit www.WhiteHouse.gov/NowIsTheTime to learn more about my Administration’s approach.

 

Sincerely,

Barack Obama

 

 

 

 

My response

 

IMPEACH YOURSELF YOU TERROIST and good luck taking my 25 round mags from me.

 

 

Got to really love his line about " I intend to use whatever weight this office holds to make them a reality."

 

Is he kidding how many different scandals can you be involved with? I think I can count 4 that we know of.

[ThomC]

That is the same old word for word tired line that you hear from all of the kool aid drinkers.

[huntjunkie]

I received the same email word for word. What a JOKE!

[huntjunkie]

I love this line!

"to seek consensus in order to save lives and ensure a brighter future for our children."

"Consensus" hmmmmm.......

All my kids own/will own guns and they are well trained. I'd say their future is pretty bright!

[sidwynder505]

OH My God!!! ....come on!! three and a half more year's!...i keep telling myself that!!...until he is out of office!!...what a HACK!!

[twowindy]

The sad part is we could end up with someone just as bad or even worse with all the uninformed whacko voters out there.

[THE RIFLEMAN]

What about Obamacare aint it wonderful?

Regretfully.....Obama will not be impeached, unless any of the current scandals can be tied directly to him. Even then, it would be difficult.... since he owns the media lapdogs. Just goes to show, even a scumbag can be President.

 

But then again if Obama was run out of office, we would end up with Joe Biden as Prez. That very thought, gives me nightmares.

 

The GOP needs to turn up the heat, and win the Senate seats coming up in 2014, as well as keeping control of the house. It is our only chance to shut down Obama during the remainder of his term.

[MULEPACKHUNTER]

How can he state that change can't happen without the people and yet the people spoke and all gun measures were shut down and yet he still trys to move forward with more palns. I say that is ignoring the majority. The admin is wrong on this one.

It's because, Obama and the liberals, don't care what "We the People" think. Its all about his personal agenda. He doesn't want us to have guns......period. An unarmed society, is a controllable society, and the Government wants that control.

 

Obama will not stop, until he is out of office.

I heard yesterday that in the latest polls over 70% of Americans polled believe that these latest scandals are of secondary importance. The economy is the pressing issue. I can't believe that most people are willing to allow a corrupt government to walk all over their constitutional rights to keep their wallets healthy. What happened to freedom and the protection of the constitution? We are truly becoming a soicalist country that is developing a "what can you do for me" mentality.

[DesertBull]

That is because the majority of Americans have grown up in the public school system where Constitutional rights are not taught. These people have no idea what their rights are.

[DesertBull]

BTW, on Monday Obama will sign the UN gun treaty. This does not have to go through the House, only the Senate. We already know that McShame and Graham will vote for it along with all of the Dems.

[joe hunter]

I am a member of the NRA, bought my boys all memberships (life) and love the USA !! but with all the liberal members of congress and all the liberals in America and all the minorities leaning towards the left IMHO.... we are riding on a sinking ship. The good old days are gone for good . I don't ever see the "American Way" coming back because way too many regular Americans don't vote but most ALL minorities/liberals do and congress and politicians go where the votes are and conservative America doesn't have them........sad but true.

Hopefully next year, when Obamacare sinks this country further into the economic abyss, people will wake up when they get hit where it hurts......in the wallet.

But you are right. The only thing that seems to matter to people is money. Obama always wants more of our money, but the voters just don't get it. Obama gives with one hand, and takes away with the other.
