Obama urges Congress to reinstate assault weapons ban

Posted on June 20, 2016 0 Comments46

There is so much hatred and so many guns in the United States that it is hard to see anything but a bad ending.

Mentally ill people or those wishing to harm Americans should not be able to buy, own or purchase firearms, let alone assault weapons. It was conducted in the aftermath of the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., in which a couple used assault rifles to kill 14 people and wound 21 more.

“You don’t have to buy with a license, because guns are so easily available from illegal sources”, said Binalakshmi Nepram, secretary general of the Control Arms Foundation of India. “It is the gold standard for killing the enemy in battle, just as it has become the gold standard for mass murder of innocent civilians”. The speed and design of the semi-automatic gun is what makes it so lethal.

Congress put a ban in place in 1994 but allowed it to expire in 2004. We know that because he purchased his guns legally from one or more federally licensed dealers, passing a background check each time, and had been employed since 2007 by the security company G4S, which would have run its own record check. The recommendations included a ban on semiautomatic assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. And in Wisconsin, the state’s 48-waiting period on handgun purchases was repealed in 2015. Handgun buyers have to be 21 or older, but one only needs to be 18 for a rifle.

Mateen was interviewed twice by the FBI for terrorism concerns and was reportedly on the bureau’s watch list. They hold public vigils. “I think the right people need to be buying guns”, said Altair Gun Club educator Michelle Jones.

You would expect Congress to listen to law enforcement leaders. Kissimmee is a city just south of Orlando. Do we all get that?

After the deaths at Sandy Hook, President Obama appointed a task force to come up with a gun control package.

On the other side of this argument, a group called Texas Gun Sense is working to reduce gun violence in Texas, calling for more effective gun laws.

We can expect to hear more pleas for better screening of potential terrorists in the days ahead.

After all, pushing gun control for well over a hundred million gun owners because of the terrorist actions of one gun owner is nothing short of punishing all for the actions of one.

Sunday’s attack also brought controversy over America’s immigration policy.

Part of the problem confronting the Federal Bureau of Investigation is that terror watch list too broad and has too many people listed on it, said Michael German, a former Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent. The Republican-led Congress must also act.

Obama denounced the idea on Tuesday. “And we have to decide if that’s the kind of country that we want to be”, Obama said. “It does not reflect our democratic ideals”.

“Where does this stop?” Keep the radical Muslims out of America instead. We’re not going to go there. “Unfortunately, the Obama administration’s political correctness prevented anything from being done about it”.

After the Orlando mass shooting, Hilary Clinton said: “If the Federal Bureau of Investigation is watching you for suspected terrorist links, you shouldn’t be able to just go buy a gun with no questions asked”.

Attorney Josh Koskoff, who represents the families of some of the Newtown victims in a lawsuit against gun manufacturers, says the slaughter in Orlando represents “more horrific evidence of the unique lethality of the AR-15”.

ISIS terror handbooks and training have highlighted lax USA gun regulations and have encouraged their followers to take advantage of the those gun purchasing loopholes to obtain weapons needed to carry out mass mayhem.

    Great blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform

    Appreciate it!
