After "Fast and Furious" Obama proved he knows nothing of gun control.

Now this makes a lot of sense: "The measures would also strengthen mental health checks and stiffen penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors, the Post said. The approach is backed by law enforcement leaders, it said."

Most of the shooters kill themselves. What do they care how stiff the penalty around schools. All that kind of law does is make it safer for the crazed shooter.

To quote a German Police Chief after a shooting incident in Germany a couple of years ago " Politicians are the only people who think they can change reality with words on pieces of paper ".

A bit more from the WP.it looks like they will use the same tactics used to ram obamacare through-strong arm business like WMT,get on AF 1 and do the "campaigner in chief" act,and of course,bring the complicit media in to help. :

"A working group led by Vice President Biden is seriously considering measures backed by key law enforcement leaders that would require universal background checks for firearm buyers, track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database, strengthen mental health checks, and stiffen penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors, the sources said.

To sell such changes, the White House is developing strategies to work around the National Rifle Association that one source said could include rallying support from Wal-Mart and other gun retailers for measures that would benefit their businesses. White House aides have also been in regular contact with advisers to New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (I), an outspoken gun-control advocate who could emerge as a powerful surrogate for the Obama administration�s agenda.

The Biden group, formed last month after the massacre at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school that killed 20 children and six adults, plans to submit a package of recommendations to President Obama this month. Once Obama�s proposals are set, he plans to lead a public-relations offensive to generate popular support.

�They are very clearly committed to looking at this issue comprehensively,� said Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, who has been involved in the discussions. The proposals under consideration, he added, are �a deeper exploration than just the assault-weapons ban.�
"For instance, this person suggested, Wal-Mart and other major gun retailers may have an incentive to support closing a loophole that allows people to bypass background checks if they purchase firearms at gun shows or through other types of private sales. That could result in more people buying guns in retail stores."

Absolutely nothing about the Proven danger that gun free zones creates or armed guards-LIKE THEIR children and 1/3rd of the others have in schools.
Stiffen penalties-yea,like twoholer posted, that would have done a lot they all kill themselves,how concerned are they with "penalties"?

Ever notice how all these mass killings are in gun free zones ?

John Lott and William Landees did a study in 1999,not the last line in the exert from the article John Fund wrote ;

Economists John Lott and William Landes conducted a groundbreaking study in 1999, and found that a common theme of mass shootings is that they occur in places where guns are banned and killers know everyone will be unarmed, such as shopping malls and schools.

I spoke with Lott after the Newtown shooting, and he confirmed that nothing has changed to alter his findings. He noted that the Aurora shooter, who killed twelve people earlier this year, had a choice of seven movie theaters that were showing the Batman movie he was obsessed with. All were within a 20-minute drive of his home. The Cinemark Theater the killer ultimately chose wasn�t the closest, but it was the only one that posted signs saying it banned concealed handguns carried by law-abiding individuals. All of the other theaters allowed the approximately 4 percent of Colorado adults who have a concealed-handgun permit to enter with their weapons.

�Disarming law-abiding citizens leaves them as sitting ducks,� Lott told me. �A couple hundred people were in the Cinemark Theater when the killer arrived. There is an extremely high probability that one or more of them would have had a legal concealed handgun with him if they had not been banned.�

Lott offers a final damning statistic: �With just one single exception, the attack on congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson in 2011, every public shooting since at least 1950 in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry guns.�

We had laws that prohibited bringing guns within 1000 feet of a school. How many of you would become instant felons if you normally innocently drive past schools on the way to hunting, target, or skeet shooting? If there were roadblocks set up near schools on the first day of deer season, how many would get arrested? Once you have a felony conviction, you will never legally be able to own guns and you will be excluded from voting to get rid of the evil politicians who would turn law abiding citizens into criminals. Think about that.

Obama told Professor John Lott at the Univ. of Chicago that he does not believe Americans should be allowed to own guns. Period.

That is Obama's end game. Do you want to play that game or do you want to get involved and call your Congressmen to let them know you won't accept being blamed for the actions of a psycopath?

Psychopath? Psychopath!

How dare you call our Glorious President a "Psychopath" ?!

The truth notwithstanding.

keith, with respect, have you run a campaign? Petitions and telephone calls, you might as spit into the wind. "You won't accept . . " That's warm spit to pols.
