Obama Condemns 'Routine' of Mass Shootings, Says U.S. Has Become Numb
This puts me in mind of when Barry decreed amnesty for millions and said this.
'Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger'
But scripture doesn't apply to this little girl...
a stranger to the world and millions like her who are routinely oppressed... killed for their body parts and sold on the black market.
Yes you have to love the holier-than-thou approach coming from the "Christian" who's mentor was this guy.

The president delivered remarks from the White House after a gunman opened fire at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore.
WASHINGTON — President Obama's rage about gun massacres, building for years, spilled out Thursday night as he acknowledged his own powerlessness to prevent another tragedy and pleaded with voters to force change themselves.
"So tonight, as those of us who are lucky enough to hug our kids a little closer are thinking about the families who aren't so fortunate," the president said in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, named for a man severely wounded by a would-be assassin's bullet, "I'd ask the American people to think about how they can get our government to change these laws, and to save these lives and let these people grow up."
Mr. Obama admitted that he was unable to do anything to prevent such tragedies by himself.
This is the tipoff. He said the same thing about declaring amnesty...at least a dozen times.
And he did little to try to hide the anger and frustration that have deepened as he returns again and again to the White House lectern in the wake of a deadly mass shooting.
Mr. Obama took a veiled swipe at the National Rifle Association, which has successfully fought most limits on gun use and manufacture and has pushed through legislation in many states making gun ownership far easier. "And I would particularly ask America's gun owners who are using those guns properly, safely, to hunt for sport, for protecting their families, to think about whether your views are being properly represented by the organization that suggests it is speaking for you," he said.

The entire focus on a background check is criminal history. So you could be a complete wacko nut job but as long as your criminal record is clean you'll get a gun. Therein lies the problem. I certainly see not giving criminals guns. But isn't giving guns to crazy people even worse? Why not run a check on their mental stability? In almost every one of these mass shootings it had little to do with criminality and everything to do with lunacy.
