President Obama is commenting on last night’s shooting in Colorado, mourning the idea that over the holidays a group of people were killed by a shooter.
The president again turned to gun control as a potential solution to the horrific act, calling for the removal of guns from the streets, reminding Americans that mass shootings should not be accepted as normal.
If we truly care about this – if we’re going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience – then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them. Period. Enough is enough.
Obama didn’t assign blame but mentioned that the shooting took place near a Planned Parenthood building.
“We don’t yet know what this particular gunman’s so-called motive was for shooting twelve people, or for terrorizing an entire community, when he opened fire with an assault weapon and took hostages at a Planned Parenthood center in Colorado,” he admitted. “What we do know is that he killed a cop in the line of duty, along with two of the citizens that police officer was trying to protect.”
In conclusion, Obama reminded all Americans that the police officer was killed in the line of duty, and thanks to his heroic actions, saved lives.
“May God bless Officer Garrett Swasey and the Americans he tried to save,” Obama said. “And may He grant the rest of us the courage to do the same thing.” http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/11/28/enough-enough-obama-demands-gun-control-colorado-shooting/

It looks like our leader is politicizing another mass shooting. I can't wait to see the liberals spew their disgust about this./s Or perhaps they are only disgusted when shootings in other countries are politicized?
Does anyone know when this guy acquired this firearm? Does anyone have proof that he was found to be a threat to society by a mental health professional? Are we going to end doctor patient confidentiality? Obama's knee jerk reactions never result in anything of substance. What does he want every gun owner to be forced by government to pay for psychiatric examinations on an annual basis?
We're way beyond any ability to remove guns from people who shouldn't have them in the US. Accept it America - you live in a country of your own creation, and now we just need to accept that you can be killed at any time - not by a foreign terrorist, but by a domestic criminal, or lunatic, or by a stray bullet from one of the so-called "good guys" that established and exacerbated the gun problem to begin with.
Good idea to take a vigilant position and be cautious when in high crime areas. When you look at where crime is most prevalent you can greatly reduce your risks. In the big picture shooting death rates have been going down for the last thirty years. We are less likely to be shot and killed now vs then. If you've ever been to Colorado Springs you know to be on the lookout it's pretty rough hood.
How many of these thugs are in Colorado Springs?
A lot you've never been there I take it.
You are not an American? You used the term you instead of we when describing what you think Americans have to deal with.

Hal, I voted your comment up because of the first sentence... and even the rest of the paragraph has truth in it.
Even if all the guns could be taken away, we still live in a country that has free access to information on how to make any number of explosives from ordinary kitchen and cleaning materials. We will go from multiple deaths by firearms to massive numbers of deaths by explosives.
And the cartels of Mexico will have found their new revenue source in the form of illegal guns. The flow will reverse to coming from Mexico to America instead of from America to Mexico, and the politicians in DC who are in the drug business with Mexico, which is why the border stays open, will become the modern gun runners.
If you stay out of Chicago, your chances of being killed with a gun are negligible. You needn't live in constant fear.
On a news show this morning Mike Huckabee said that the killings at the Planned Parenthood were a tragedy, especially for the dead police officer and his family.
A little elementary word parsing leads us to Huckabee's contention that the deaths of the other two 'civilians' at the PP office were not as "tragic", for some unknown reason . s.

Honestly, the things some of these politicians are saying in public... they should never open their mouth unless their speech writers have whispered in their ears the proper response to make.
It could have been he was referring to the officer's position of being there as a public servant, or his attempt to mitigate the tragedy by placing himself in harm's way, but Huckabee's response was poorly stated.
