REUTERS.COM reports:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Monday that mass killings like the weekend shooting rampage at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin were happening with too much regularity and should prompt soul searching by all Americans, but he stopped short of calling for new gun-control laws.

    He's a coward. He will wait until after the Election. His first agenda is to give ILLEGALS the right to vote.

    So you like to pay a lot of tax? Well if he is relected the hold on because his health care bill will give you 22 new taxes. Or are you one of the people that gets and want to keep on getting free support from the government. ( Food stamps ) You know like you live off the people that have to pay there taxes just to support people like you.

    Any body but Obama in 2012

    No. That would be too dangerous right now but should he win, he will. Just as on gay marriage (he was against it before he was for it) he will EVOLVE once again. This time it will be called "soul searching". Then he will go through the U.N. or the democratic Congress (if the Dems get both houses) and curb the Second Amendment drastically.

    A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who would abuse them. Including their own government.

    I hope that he doesn't plan to. Everytime rumors start about this I get tempted to buy an assault rifle. Up to now I have never owned a firearm but it is important to understand that the 2nd Amendment is for protection against a tyrannical government. Many Federal Dept now have a SWAT team, even Education. When the federal govt feels a need for firepower (not just for common defense against foreign threats but also against it's own citizens), and a need to limit citizen firefire, it is time to arm (if it is not too late).

    The Founding Fathers made the right to bear arms number #2 on the list, not so we could defend ourselves against criminals (although that is important) but because they envisioned dictators that could crush an unarmed populace and enforce their tyranny.

    It will be through third parties and other operatives, but it will happen. Strange that these attacks happened just before the big UN gun ban was to come up for a vote, if it had not been flushed. The attacks would have been a perfect excuse to sign it.

    He would not dare try that. But the point is not the guns, but this country does not provide enough mental health help and needs to open more mental facilities, so that when someone is questionable, he or she can be kept in one and observed.

    Even lunatics can't be held against their will very long. (With the help of the ACLU.)

    http://www.city-journal.org/a...
    The issue that most galvanized New Yorkers against the ACLU was what has come to be known as the Billie Boggs case, in which the NYCLU represented a mentally disturbed homeless woman seeking to avoid commitment to Bellevue.

    The ACLU filed an amicus brief on behalf of Richard Krelmer, a 41-year-old, able-bodied homeless man who spent his days in the Morristown, New Jersey, library. The library had received complaints from patrons offended by Krelmer’s foul stench and his habit of staring at young women. It instituted a set of rules barring patrons who are not reading, studying, or using library materials; who harass or annoy others through noisy activities or by staring; or whose “bodily hygiene is so offensive” as to constitute a nuisance. Federal District Judge H. Lee Sarokin, overturning the library’s rules, declared, “If we wish to shield our eyes and noses from the homeless, we should revoke their condition, not their library cards.”

    This is the Billie Boggs case.

    By 11:25 A.M. the first patient, a disheveled woman in her 40's who has lived for nearly a year against the wall of a restaurant at Second Avenue and 65th Street and often defecated in her clothes, arrived at the Bellevue Hospital Center.

    Besides, Holmes and Paige seem rational at most times. How can they be subjected to mental health care. They weren't ranting lunatics. Thus, they were able to but guns. It's too bad, but that's the way it is.

    McCarthy was totally wrong, misguided, small minded and drunk. People who believed him then and believe him now are a big part of what is wrong with our country, and serve as a testament to the power of brainwashing. Get a clue.
