President Obama Explains Why Making It Harder For "We, The People" To Get Guns Will Make Everyone Safer
Amid threats from various Republican Congressmen, soaring pre-emptive gun sales, and a majority of Americans (56%) believe that if more Americans carried concealed weapons the country would be safer; President Obama is set today to formally announce his executive action new gun-control measures.
In the wake of mass shootings at schools and other public places, some have argued that the shootings could have been stopped if any of the victims had carried weapons. Others argue that having more citizens carrying weapons can lead to more violence and accidental shooting.
Obama plans to continue the weeklong push to promote the gun effort with a prime time, televised town hall discussion Thursday and it is sure to be prominent in Obama’s final State of the Union address to Congress next week. At the centerpiece of Obama's package of executive actions (which aims to curb what he’s described as a scourge of gun violence in the U.S) is a broader definition of gun dealers that the administration hopes will expand the number of gun sales subject to background checks.
Live Feed (Obama is due to speak at 1140ET)...
The government’s own numbers tell us that 3.8 people per 100,000 in the US die each year from non-suicide gun violence. Terror-related deaths are effectively 0.0.
Meanwhile, 11.6 per 100,000 die in traffic related deaths. A whopping 169.8 people per 100,000 die from heart disease.
As a gentle reminder, when another socialist utopia (Venezuela) imposed gun control laws, violent crime actually increased. And Caracas is now one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
What happens next? courtesy of the NYT:
The chart shows that while the soaring gun sales are the effect, the cause is simple: president Obama.
The same president who today at 11:40am will finally reveal just what, after many delays, his executive action(s) on gun control will be.
The concern is that with one more year under Obama's term, gun sales over the next 12 months are certain to surge to new all time highs as Obama's crusade to crush the second amendment slowly picks up steam in order to cement his "anti-gun" legacy, and as the population rushes to buy as many as it can before Obama makes such purchases illegal.
It's not all bad news though: gun makers could not have asked for a better president, as the following headline just confirmed:
- SMITH & WESSON SEES 3Q ADJ. EPS 39C-41C, SAW 27C-29C
As of this moment Smith and Wesson is trading at an all time high.

Few people know the facts about the singular event that helped spark what ultimately became known as World War II - the international Jewish declaration of war on Germany shortly after Adolf Hitler came to power and well before any official German government sanctions or reprisals against Jews were carried out. The March 24, 1933 issue of The Daily Express of London described how Jewish leaders, in combination with powerful international Jewish financial interests, had launched a boycott of Germany for the express purpose of crippling her already precarious economy in the hope of bringing down the new Hitler regime. It was only then that Germany struck back in response. Thus, if truth be told, it was the worldwide Jewish leadership - not the Third Reich - that effectively fired the first shot in the Second World War. Prominent New York attorney Samuel Untermyer was one of the leading agitators in the war against Germany, describing the Jewish campaign as nothing less than a "holy war."
As a first generation German America, I can state unequivocally that is pure horseshit.
Anti-Semitism was in existence in Germany during WWI.
You must also believe that Bill Clinton is the subject of a smear campaign and has been faithful to Hillary his entire marriage

Republican leadership will flap around the room for a few minutes acting outraged, then sit back down quietly.
IMO a big enough percentage of them are too compromised to speak up too loudly on any issue.
Obama has a pen and a phone.
The pen to sign the executive orders and the phone to release that NSA folder on whoever opposes him.

Correction: FUCK YOU NIGGER!!
Please note that there was no press conference when the ?"budget" was "passed". This is theatre to keep you from thinking about the fact that he already got everything he wanted.
They already have 'laws' saying they can imprison, kill, or disappear anyone they want on a whim. They spy on everyone, including congress and the 'supreme' court. The media & schools spread their propaganda and even have active agents within those institutions.This is nothing but theater to provide the illusion that this is 'government by the people'.
Yes this is the Fourth Reich
You have to kind of admire the way they did it patiently all under the radar, unlike the previous one. And they do have a global propaganda machine Goebbels would have publicly wanked over.
A lot of these conniving fuckwits (on both sides of the pond) getting the piano wire and lamppost treatment at the end of it might make the impending upheaval more palatable. "A" and "lot" being the key words there.
Some say, after the direct conquest route failed, they moved the Nazi program from Germany to America. Of course, the Nazis were the Nationalist Socialist Germany Workers Party. But the 'isms' are used as nothing but a cover story to fool the general population. In communism/socialism, a small group of criminals uses the institutions of government to rob and control the larger population. The criminals hold the top positions. In fascism, a small group of criminals uses institutions of government and large insider corporations to rob and control the larger population. The criminals hold the top positions.
In the USSR, Cuba, and N Korea the insider gangsters lived large while the rest of the population was in squalor. In America and the West, a small group in politics and large insider corporations live large, while more people are slowly being driven into unemployment and poverty.
These psychopaths will lose in the end. Natural Law is that you have the right to live your life as you please, as long as you do not violate this same right of others and do no harm to others. Human beings naturally resist this move to control them. The jack boot of tyranny is used to try to crush this natural reality, but it will eventually fail. It takes tremendous energy and resources to try to crush human nature. The tyranny becomes so oppressive and outrageous that eventually, even the most clueless (most of the current US population) is forced to see what is being done to them. - The Nazis in the 30s-40s were the attempt to do this by direct conquest. The Soviets of the USSR and the Eastern Bloc & world communism were an attempt to do this gangsterism using internal oppression and proxy wars. The current US/West is trying to do this attack on Humanity using soft Fabian socialist methods of transforming socities combined with high tech spying on everyone and police state in your face tactics. They will ultimately fail.
The psychopath control freaks don't decide the timing. Humanity will decide when they will Finally choose to wake up, when they will finally take responsibility for their lives rather than trying to turn that over to a 'Mommy/Daddy' false 'authority' figure.
Its about time. Aren't we sick & tired of this shit ?
Ssssssshhhhh! Don't tell anyone that the truth and justice party wants to rewrite the laws again for large corporations. Both parties are shit. This is just a good example where one party is so blatant that I want to smash them all with a fucking claw hammer!
Americans don't care Obama. YOU WON. Just do us all a favor and take away all our guns, no one is gonna do shit. Obama, you have proven you are the best. Rock on.
A corrupt dictatorship oligarchy type government never stops at that. They continue to the next stage.
The divisive lying illegal Indonesian kenyan alien muslim fudgepacker needs its skin sandpapered off buried in salt then thrown out in the middle of an Iranian desert with a can of Pennzoil after having its lips and vocal cords epoxied together.
I'm reminded of the oldest argument FOR guns: "If they outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns."
The current government is an Israeli-Neocon Cabal that replaced the previous faltering Constitutional government on 9/11.
Israeli-Neocons control the executive, and AIPAC owns Congress. The bureaucracies and military and intelligence services are compliant.
It is not, in any sense, 'our government', it is an illegitimate entity that has replaced the legimate entity, we owe it no loyalty whatsoever.
Given the fact that Israeli-Neocons are the existential threat to the world, we need to fix this situation.

I WILL NOT COMPLY you unconstitutional FUCK!
Go piss up a rope jarret!
BITCH!
INFURIATING... when they start coming for licensed firearms is the day civil war begins.
Doubtful, but FaceBook & Twitter will really be abuzz!
USA! USA! USA!
Civil War pits brother against brother. It will be a Revolution where these Criminal Psychopats will be round up & Executed.
What about unlicensed firearms?
You use those to guide the statists to the wood chipper.
I guess being half white and half black makes you dummer than a sand nigger or a dune koon.
Congratulations for insulting blacks and whites.
I can hardly wait for them to outlaw drill presses and welders. For your edification..... http://www.milsurps.com/content.php?r=422-Blueprints-for-The-STEN-MKII-%...
And if your serious.... http://www.weaponscombat.com/joinwc
And while they are at it, outlaw 3d printers. /s
3D printers are most useful for cutting molds in wax for investment casting....
or 80% lowers.
Better yet, buy a finished lower or complete AR from a private party with cash and don't leave a paper trail.
The plans for a lower from scratch are easily available and a cheap Harbor Freight lathe and mill you can DIY if you have a little skill....
A post from you lacking sarcasm? What will ZH do?
Coming up: Dr. Engali explains why the American people should tell Obama to go suck a bag of dicks. Oh wait..., he might like that. Okay go lick a wookie vagina.., oh wait.....
For discomfort on Obama imposed maximally and tell him "go tell a truth"...
A little more discomfort; ask him...
Did the USA and Saudi Arabia create ISIS in order to aid in the removal of ASSAD?
Does NATO member Turkey fund ISIS to the tune of $800,000,000 annually via oil purchases that Turkey then sells to the EU.
ANY CHANCE that the EU bought oil from Turkey, that came from ISIS, who used those proceeds to fund the Paris attacks?
Those would be some REALLY good questions for a "reporter" to ask Obama.
Meanwhile Obama points the biggest gun the human race has ever seen (The US Military)..and fires away all over the world!! Doesn't even check the safety.
bombing weddings and Doctors Without Borders hospitals is all cool with him and a large segment of the American public.
and supplying weapons to terrorists, droning innocent people, etc., etc.
If they take away all the guns, THEN what are all the folks' in chicago going to use to kill eachother with?
Machetes prove better than nothing in Africa.
Even if Obama was serious about disarming his own "community" along with the crackers, trust me, they'd find a way to keep killing each other.
No Shit, I've seen some of those videos; dude with a machette runs up and chops this guys arm off...no regrets, doesn't think twice...and then Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services brings them to the USA...machete has to stay in Africa of course...FUCKING NUTS!
is the speech where he's gonna shut-down sanctuary cities after this one?
This guy is such a pathetic piece of dog shit it makes me sick. Good thing is that these idiotic edicts from King Obama will be immediately challenged in court and thrown out eventually, and since this is his last year, this entire soap opera is a complete and total waste of time. What a joke.
Look on the bright side, his actions will set a precedent in court system making it harder for the next joker to try it again.
He explains little to the people of this country that makes sense or aligns with American culture or values. Mainly because he is not an American.
Read what he's written in his past. He hates the United States, hates Christians, hates whites.
Not "disagrees with," not "dislikes." Hates.
This from the psychopath facilitating invasion via the US southern border, fomenting wars in Syria, Ukraine, Yemen, et al.
Collapse is the only way forward, now.
True. It's over. The quicker we end the mourning for the US Constitution, the sooner we can get on building a brighter future. It can't be saved, turned around, or resuscitated. Kick these banker's and aristocracy to the curb now, and start over. But I fear, we must have war to boil sanity to the top of popular culture.
Didn't watch and won't read the stories. Too busy. But please fill me in. Have all guns be outlawed? Will the jackboots be coming to my door for my legally purchased firearms? This must be a huge story. Did Obama really outlaw citizen gun ownership?
