Yet another scapegoat issue. Hell getting the economy back on track could very well reduce gun crime come to think of it.

Of course it is a low priority issue. That is why democrats will jam through what they can right now before it completely falls off the political map.

Gotta exploit the tragedy while the exploiting is good, strike while the iron's hot. What better time to restrict people's freedom with your ideological agenda than when they're scared of something? It's a tried and true formula. Patriot act anyone?

Obama was brought up in the Chicago school of politics. Once elected the main goal is to distract from the real issues, plant trees, clean up streets and gutters (stuff people will notice right away), and put your buddies in office.

This loss of my right to bear arms thingi is really scaring me. Please don't try to manipulate my mind while I'm in this vulnerable place. Oh, F, they are going to take my freedom. Bet you knew it was a tried and true formula, huh!

I sort of thought some real kids were dead but nobody's at my door to confiscate my guns. And I'm the paranoid delusional. Hehehe Black helicopters, anyone?

Obama is a right of center Democrat, but you easily wet your pants.

What does his alignment have to do with his style? He's clearly a Chicago machine type guy. You can have republicans be chicago-style machines too...
