President Obama sheds tears while announcing new gun restrictions on Jan. 5, 2016.

 

By Leo Hohmann  

President Obama took to his bully pulpit to push his executive orders on gun control Tuesday that held up China’s restrictive gun laws as a model to emulate.

In the process, he even shed tears.

CBS, NBC and ABC all broke into their regularly scheduled TV programs to cover the speech in which Obama used the term “common sense” repeatedly to describe his new gun-regulating initiative that takes great pains to work “around” Congress, which he described as out of touch with American citizens on the issue of guns.

The president at one point cried while talking about the many victims of “gun violence.”

Even staid, old-line media giants like the Washington Post were outwardly impressed by the speech. The newspaper posted a story under the headline “President Obama’s amazingly emotional speech on gun control, annotated.”

Obama outlined his plans to provide background checks on nearly all gun sales by requiring gun sellers, no matter how small, to obtain a federal firearms license through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

“Some of you may remember the knife attack in China a few years ago,” Obama said. Several people were severely injured “but most of them survived because he didn’t have access to a very powerful weapon,” Obama said.

Watch clip from President Obama’s speech below in which he got emotional:

Ignoring the recent mass slaughters in Paris, at the Charlie Hebdo offices one year ago and more recently at a music hall, bars and soccer stadium, Obama said no other “advanced country” has as much gun violence as America and it was time to lay aside the polarizing political issues that divide rather than provide “solutions.”

Many of those in the audience were victims or family members of victims of shootings, such as former Democrat Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona and parents of those killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012.

While recalling those 20 children, the president wiped a tear from his left eye. He was introduced on the stage by a father of one of the boys killed, 7-year-old Daniel Barden. Daniel’s dad, Mark Barden, said “every gun death is preventable” if enough people become engaged in the fight for tougher gun control.

“We need your help,” Barden said. “We need everyone engaged in this.”

Obama said his restrictions on gun purchases had the support of “the majority of gun owners” in America and all boiled down to “common sense,” despite the fact that his new restrictions would not have stopped a single one of the recent mass shootings in Charleston, South Carolina, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Aurora, Colorado, Sandy Hook, Fort Hood, or San Bernardino.

The common-sense meme has been repeatedly used by the Obama administration over the last few years in cooperation with some of the biggest anti-gun lobbies in the nation, most of them funded by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Obama took a direct stab at the National Rifle Association and similar groups that lobby for Second Amendment rights.

He said Americans needed to join together to “stand up to the gun lobby’s lies” and demand that governors, mayors and especially Congress follow up his executive orders by doing “even more” to end gun violence. He also urged Americans to elect more anti-gun politicians to Congress in this year’s elections.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., released the following statement in response to President Obama’s announcement of his executive order to restrict American gun ownership:

“From day one, the president has never respected the right to safe and legal gun ownership that our nation has valued since its founding. He knows full well that the law already says that people who make their living selling firearms must be licensed, regardless of venue. Still, rather than focus on criminals and terrorists, he goes after the most law-abiding of citizens. His words and actions amount to a form of intimidation that undermines liberty.”

  • Check and see if there was onion juice under his podium and then you’ll know why he was crying. :mrgreen:

  • May he burn in the Eternal pits of Hell forever and ever!!!!

  • I doubt he was crying because he cares so much about lost lives. Probably tears of joy realizing how few see the fascism hiding behind a mask called “political correctness” and the fact that he is one step closer to his dream of a communistic U.S with him as the all mighty dictator.

  • The only “tears” I want to see from this traitor are the ones he sheds on his way to the gallows. We should live so long.

  • The only “tears” I’m interested in seeing this traitor shed…are the ones he sheds on the way to the gallows. We should live so long!!

  • Crocodile tears… What a ‘phony’ basta’d !

    The only reason this lying, foreign national, criminal would be crying.. he and his ‘race-baiting’(AP) MSM, Hollywood, Democratic ‘Socialist’ Party & the ‘corrupt’ IRS& Federal Justice Dept… hasn’t totally destroyed this nation…yet!
    They’ve got 11 more months to go… and I’m sure they will continue this journey at a more active pace.
    You start boycotting his anti-American, pro-terrorist supporters and maybe they will back off a bit.

    • Important: Obama’s the Antichrist and I’m the Messiah.
      The proof is this….
      A heaven-sent sign is this:
      The day after Obama’s election in his hometown the lottery drew 666, the Mark of the Beast.
      Everybody knows that’s the Antichrist. That means 666 is money and we must refuse Obama’s money that he forces us to accept, so he can bankrupt us and make us his slaves.

      • Obama’s a homo freak.
        Google:

  • Did anyone check to see if any of his gay buddies dies today?

  • Headline News: President Takes Acting Lessons from Robbie Parker.

  • Obama is an embarrassment to the male race. Putia….. :lol:

  • WAKE UP!!! POLITICS IS SHOW BUSINESS FOR THE “UGLY”. IT’S ALL A LIE, ITS ALWAYS BEEN LIES. WE ARE LIVING IN A TWILIGHT ZONE EPISODE, BUT THE THING IS… THIS EPISODE LAST A LIFETIME. WE HAVE BEEN IMPRISONED BY LUNATICS IN THE ASYLUM ALSO KNOWN AS PLANET EARTH! DOOM IS ACTUALLY THE CORRECT WORD IN OUR SITUATION!
