The White House has sought to portray the NRA, the nation’s largest gun group, as possessing a disproportionate influence over lawmakers that has prevented new gun laws despite polls that show broad USA support for measures like universal background checks.
But in this case, President Obama’s position makes sense.
Kyle questioned whether Obama’s new executive action would have any effect on shooting deaths in the US.
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) – President Barack Obama tore into the National Rifle Association on Thursday as he sought support for his actions on gun control, accusing the powerful lobby group of peddling an “imaginary fiction” that he said has distorted the national debate about gun violence.
“You wouldn’t always know it from watching television”, he said.
According to Ms. Fiorina, “It is delusional, dangerous, not to mention unconstitutional for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to continue talking about climate change and gun control in the wake of a Paris terrorist attack or a San Bernardino terrorist attack, instead of how we can defeat ISIS”.
The cause of gun violence has become a deeply emotional issue for Obama. Former Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords, who was injured in an assassination attempt in 2011, and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, who is now a gun control advocate, will attend.
“The problem when we talk about that guns kill people, people kill people”. Asked how business had been since Obama took office, Jacob replied: “It’s been busy”.
Earlier this week, President Obama announced plans to expand background checks and make other changes to America’s gun sales rules via executive action. Again the security network must intensify the search and seizure of weapons in all parts of the country especially in the flashpoints in the country where conflicts have occurred as a result of disagreements on chieftaincy partisan and religious issues.
But he added: “I challenge the notion that the reason for that is because there is more gun ownership”.
At Defender Outdoors in Fort Worth, gun buyers must fill out a background check and get approved to purchase a gun.
The steps, which fall short of the action he vowed to take after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn., drew condemnation from the NRA and from Republicans in Congress and in the presidential campaign.
Obama’s new gun control measures redefined a gun “dealer” to include many people who sell even a single gun annually. Democrats didn’t act on major new gun-control laws when they held majorities in both the House and Senate during the first two years of the Obama administration.
CNN interviewed Babeu after the exchange, and he said he’s still waiting for an answer.
