WASHINGTON — A tearful President Barack Obama said Friday he grieved first as a father about the massacre at a Connecticut elementary school, declaring, "Our hearts are broken today." He called for "meaningful action" to prevent such shootings but did not say what it should be. "The majority of those who died were children — beautiful, little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old," Obama said. At that point he had to pause for several seconds to keep his composure, and he wiped his eyes. The scene in the White House briefing room was one of the ...

IMO most are for reasonable gun control...can we start with getting the guns out of the hands of convicted felons, you know, enforcing the laws that are already on the books against felons owning or possessing firearms?
If government is so inept at enforcing existing laws ,well, good luck with future gun control measures.
Well, not much anyone can do as far as gun control.
Congress has a hard enough time fixing a budget and states can't even agree on who should marry whom or if marijuana should be legal. Can you imagine how much it would take to amend the 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution?
Forget it! Platitudes will have to do until the next shooting.
His legacy will be that he wimped out to the NRA while children were being needlessly slaughtered. Throw in the other D.C. wimps into the same shameless pot.
Also in the news today from China - A school assailant killed one student and injured 22 kids with a knife. Yes, really.
I feel about the shooting, but our illegal President wants to take the guns away from citizens and will use this. Remember the Allinsky tactic "let no tragedy go to waste".
And seeing him cry tears is a joke as he thinks of more ways to destroy America.
He's probably crying beacause this will interupt his $4 Million vacation to Hawaii.
I have seen many of the Fox News people blaming mental health and not guns. These are the same people who want to get rid of "Obamacare". Who pays for their treatment then?
The facts are like this:
A coalition of hunters, gun owners, and people who are borderline paranoid, with direction from the NRA would rather have outcomes like this than modify existing gun laws.
They have some of this blood on their hands.
On the other side of the coin, even if we metal detected every location in America and confiscated every gun simultaneously, these murderous types would switch to catapulting home made bombs into schools and malls and stadiums.
Still, making it criminal for mom to leave those guns where her son could execute her seems hard to fathom. Could a locked case and trigger locks have forced him into finding the guns elsewhere? Could it have displayed some actionable red flags, some think twice time?
It is time to find out.
Jeff liberals like you are even worth arguing with. You will never understand real facts because you are already brainwashed into believing guns are the problem when it is really people that are the problem.
