WASHINGTON D.C. - In light of the mass school shooting in Connecticut, President Obama is speaking up about gun control.

Wednesday Morning, he spoke to the country and said he's creating a team, headed by Vice President Joe Biden. President Obama says the team will draft ideas on how to curb gun violence no later than January.

President Obama says after he receives recommendations from Biden's group, he will push legislation "without delay.''

"If there is even one thing that we can do to prevent any of these events from happening, we have a deep obligation, all of us, to try," said Obama.

President Obama is urging Congress to hold votes on the bill that will be created by Biden's team.

It is politicians idea of "gun free zones", we already know how that worked. Another failed idea is all we can expect from the liberal agenda. Idea's that have been proven to work have always been rejected.

These people are terrifying, this is the beginning of the fundamental change this administration promised. It's only starting here folks, more terrifying things are to come I'm afraid.

Rhambo said it best: Never let a good crisis go to waste. I find it repulsive the way this hidious political hack flew down to Sandy Hook before the bodies had even cooled on the slab! No class what-so-ever.

He's just showing how much he loves himself and how far left he really is. I hope those who voted hum in are happy.

He is going to lecture to us about are gun rights. While dodging any questions about the assault weapons he and his administration gave to the Mexican drug cartels!

This man is in eternal campaign mode. He needs to stop pandering to special interests and run the country properly.

Wheezer, your comments make absolutely no sense. Have we been sampling the newly legal pot?

Floyd said on Friday, Dec 21 at 1:35 PM

I think Concerned citizen is right about wheezer, too much wheezing on the pot makes one unable to get the mind on any one topic.
