Obama: ‘I Haven’t Given Up’ On Gun Control

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


President Obama says he hasn’t given up on gun control, despite legislative defeats and opposition from many Americans.

“No, I haven’t given up,” he told ABC News in a new interview. “What we’ve done is to try to do as much as we could administratively to tighten up how background checks are run, to go after illegal drug runners. But I will tell you that trying to get something through Congress has proven to be really difficult. And it’s heart-breaking.”

Obama said his administration will continue to fight for tougher gun control, even with executive actions.

“But the power of NRA and the gun lobby in Congress is formidable,” Obama said. “And you know, we’re going to keep chipping away at this, but until you get intense public demands for this, it’s probably not going to happen because some special interests and lobbyists in Washington are really, really strong and their membership feels very intensely about the issue. Whereas the general public is concerned about it, but doesn’t make it their top priority.”

      how do you impeach some one that isnt leagle to sit as president but got the job any way? when the crimes yell treason in you face you arest not impeach. impeaching him puts validity in his presidentcy but aresting him and him faceing trial for treason and usurping will put an end to every thing he put pen to and hang him too.

        The Marines have the duty station to arrest him, just as they did John Brown and his sons at Harpers Ferry arsenal for treason and sedition.

      The reason why Obama, is that people trust people more with guns than they do the Corporate gv who we all know can not be trusted with guns.

      You will never get AMERICA to turn in its guns.

      Only in the mind of a buffoon is the majority of the public considered a ‘special interest’.

      • JKnTX

        Indeed.
        All the while the slope airdrops weapons paid for by the Amerikan sheeple tax slaves straight into the hands of his ISIS bros…
