Obama asks Americans to help with gun law changes

[BAMAPHIN 22]

A website set up by the White House to solicit petitions has been flooded in the wake of last Friday's gun massacre at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school, and today, President Obama issued a video response to petitioners, indicating that he hears the outpouring loud and clear.

"We hear you," said Mr. Obama. "Like the majority of Americans, I believe the Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms...It's encouraging that many gun owners have stepped up this week to say there are steps we can take to prevent more tragedies like the one in Newtown - steps that both protect our rights and protect our kids."

"This week I called on Congress to take up and pass common sense legislation that has the support of a majority of the American people, including banning the sale of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips."
The president also referenced the gun violence task force he created, chaired by Vice President Biden, that has been tasked with generating policy ideas about how to reduce gun violence.

Why would we sell arms to other countries that we won't sell in this country? Aren't we propagating violence against children world wide when we do?

Oh, wait....it's ok to arm all those terrorists and drug cartels...they're ardent campaign donors.

Of course you are right, Iran is just north of us and we may be invaded any day now. How dare we bomb counties such as Afghanistan that were the base for the Sep 11th attacks.

Bloated military budget I would agree with.
