Obama just Officially tanked his presidency. Just called for more Gun Control

Faced with a clamor in his party for stricter gun control in the wake of the Colorado movie-theater massacre, President Obama said Wednesday night he would “leave no stone unturned” in seeking new measures to reduce violence nationwide, including more restrictive background checks on gun purchases.

“A lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals,” Mr. Obama said at the annual National Urban League convention in New Orleans. “They belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities.”

The president blamed “politics and lobbying” for defeating gun-control measures when outcries arise after mass shootings in the U.S. And he said the nation’s attention should not just be focused on mass shootings, such as the one on Friday in Aurora, Colo., but on the daily shooting deaths of youths from gun violence in major cities.

“Every day, the number of young people we lose to violence is about the same as the number of people we lost in that movie theater,” Mr. Obama said. “For every Columbine or Virginia Tech, there are dozens gunned down on the streets of Chicago or Atlanta, here in New Orleans. Violence plagues the biggest cities, but it also plagues the smallest towns.”

No, what is the truth Mr. President, is that restrictive gun control only harms people who could protect themselves. Criminals don't obey the law.

If someone had, had a gun in the theater, they could have SHOT the guy and ended the violence, period.

This is great. And in an election year, no less, Obama calls for gun control.

Do you KNOW what that is going to do with people who believe in the 2nd Amendment?

Why doesn't Obama call for suspension of the first amendment? He might as well.

And I bet you idiot libs will claim it's a conspiracy if Obama loses.

That "IF" is quickly turning into a "WHEN" Obama loses.

No one knows the future. But common sense is a good predicter. And common sense tells me, what Obama just did, was not very smart.
