Obama's Speech Tonight

[Brett]

This sounded like the start of a massive gun control push if I have ever heard of it! Oh Sh$t. I would not be surprised to see him going around congress as he has in the past.

Where is the text? Anyone have a link?

Gun Control

Here's the link to Feinstein saying they have twin bills going. Can anyone tell me how many rounds they consider to be "high capacity?" I know California thinks the number is 10 shots. Should I stock up on PMAGs or will the house stop this thing?

[Dixiejack]

I agree. I just told my wife that his speech sounded all about gun control.

 

[El-Cigarro]

I agree. I just told my wife that his speech sounded all about gun control.

Yeah. I wonder what kind of crap they're going to try and pull in the next few weeks.....

[CharlesGoodnight]

They are going to try to go after Ammo too. Expect a full court press with the media leading the charge.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

You guys didn't really think they'd do nothing, did you? We saw this battle coming. Some of us knew it would come back before the election. They've got their excuse for aggressively going after it and right now, it appears they have political cover.

 

[churchmouse]

He was rambling around the issue and he was trying to give solace but he still has an agenda. He wants a 3rd term to solidify his "King" ship status.

 

[sadclownwp]

I'll wait till I see legislation before I start to panic. Some politicians have cooler heads and want to be re-elected.

 

[jpwfranks]

If what Valerie Jarrett said before the election is true, "Congress will not be a problem for us this time" we could conceivably see serious restrictions fairly soon.

 

[atvdave]

although I never heard his say he wants gun control, he did say something has to be done to prevent this in the future... Time will tell..

 

[sadaed]

When was this speech? Friday or today?

 

[38special]

He specifically noted how "no law or set of laws" (will stop this kind of thing) but that we can't sit and do nothing.

In Obama speak that sounds and awful lot like "I'm coming for your guns".

I'm not a panic buyer in general. I bought no more stuff than I normally do after Obama's first or second election, but my guess is something is going to go down.

 

[SERparacord]

Kiss anything semi-auto goodbye guys. It's for the children.

 

[38special]

When was this speech? Friday or today?

It was tonight - about the school shooting.

 

[SERparacord]

Yeah. I wonder what kind of crap they're going to try and pull in the next few weeks.....

Barbra Boxer already has a bill ready for Monday.

 

[Wild Deuce]

I'll wait till I see legislation before I start to panic. Some politicians have cooler heads and want to be re-elected.

I hope you are correct but I also caught his "I will use the power of this office" (quote or close to it). Don't expect him to wait on legislation ... he intends to rule by Executive Order. I sincerely, sincerely hope I am wrong.

The big chiller ... (no exact quote ... check the transcript later) he placed the lives of children above Freedom. Just think about that for a minute.

ADDED: (Thanks to INGO member TWS)

"No more children should pay the price for some of our freedoms" ...

 

[flatlander]

First let me say I do believe he and others will attempt to play on the emotions of the tragedy to pass a bunch of ineffective gun control measures.
I do also believe that there was a lot of good in his speech. I hope this was not lost on people. It spoke of healing for the families and hope that faith will help sooth their pain. Maybe it's just the fact, that when my daughter was killed, faith was the only thing that kept me going.
God bless the children.

Live from Newton on all the major networks. And it wasn't just about gun control, he made more religion references in the first 10min of his speech than Romney made the entire campaign.

Don't let this one get swept under the rug:
