Adolph Hitler and many other dictators, soon after they get power, go after the citizen's guns and now it seems like Obama is set to do the same thing.
From myway: Recalling the shooting of 20 first graders as the worst day of his presidency,
President Barack Obama on Sunday pledged to put his "full weight" behind a
legislative package next year aimed at containing gun violence.
In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," Obama voiced skepticism about
proposals to place armed guards at schools in the aftermath of the Dec. 14
deadly assault at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
In his boldest terms yet, he vowed to rally the American people around an
agenda to limit gun violence and said he still supports increased background
checks and bans on assault weapons and high capacity bullet magazines.
"It is not enough for us to say, 'This is too hard so we're not going to
try,'" Obama said. "So what I intend to do is I will call all the stakeholders
together. I will meet with Republicans. I will meet with Democrats. I will talk
to anybody.
"I think there are a vast majority of responsible gun owners out there who
recognize that we can't have a situation in which somebody with severe
psychological problems is able to get the kind of high capacity weapons that
this individual in Newtown obtained and gun down our kids. And, yes, it's going
to be hard."....
Obama said he intended to press the issue with the public.
"Will there be resistance? Absolutely there will be resistance," he said.
"The question then becomes whether we are actually shook up enough by what
happened here that it does not just become another one of these routine episodes
where it gets a lot of attention for a couple of weeks and then it drifts away.
It certainly won't feel like that to me. This is something that - you know, that
was the worst day of my presidency. And it's not something that I want to see
repeated.".

The mother of the shooter purchased the guns legally and she allowed her son to use the guns. Assuming her was legally mentally ill and that has not been established and most people with Asperger's are not mentally ill, at least not criminally. So, how does Obama propose stopping a mother taking her child to a shooting range?
And a handgun was used in the killings- is he going to ban handguns that are used for protection of house, business and person?
And what exactly would have Obama done to prevent, with 100% certainty, that would have prevented the killings at Newtown or Columbine or on the street corner?
I don't own a gun and probably will never and only fired a gun in the Air Force, so any law will not affect me personally. But I do recognize when personal liberties are taken away by people who think they are doing good but in reality, have an agenda and will come after other law abiding citizens.
No wonder the federal government bought and stockpiled so many rounds of ammunition in the past couple of years.
