What do these incidents have in common? These are all incidents of gun violence in the United States during the years that Barack Obama enjoyed a Democrat majority in the United States Congress! On October 1, 2015, 13 people were killed in Roseburg, Oregon at Umpqua Community College. Barely had the blood from this tragedy dried when President Barack Obama came out to condem this terrible act and to resume his latest attempt at gun control in the United States. Obama went so far as to blame the United States Congress for its inaction on the gun control issue. Really? Our esteemed president must either have amnesia or a extremely selective memory to make such a claim. Now, it's my belief that Mr. Obama is merely pandering to the fears and shock of the American people in the wake of this tragedy in order to advance a liberal gun control agenda. However, that's just my humble opinion, but the facts speak to something different. From the list of the tragedies above, 127 Americans died during the years when Barack Obama enjoyed a clear cut Democrat majority in the United States Congress. 127 Americans that died and President Obama refused to act on National gun control when he could have rubber stamped ANY legislation his Democrat stooges on Capital Hill sent across his desk. So, why is the latest gun violence tragedy in Roseburg, Oregon the fault of a Republican Congress? I refuse to believe that the United States congress is stonewalling our illustrious president on the issue of gun control as he claims. It's easy to pass blame in the wake of a national tragedy, our politicians are masters of that art. However, if president Obama was so interested in passing a national gun control legislation as he has recently stated why, then, did he not do so when he enjoyed the congressional votes to pass such legislation? I venture that Mr. Obamas recent comments are just lip service to pacify his friends on the liberal side of the political aisle. Of course, he needed to comment on this tragedy, that comes along with the job of the leader of the free world that he enjoys. However, coming from a president who has called our Constitution a "flawed document" these are just empty words in my opinion. For Obama to claim that we need more gun control in our nation in the wake of this most recent tragedy is laughable to say the least. Not to be outdone, Oregon Governor by default Kate Brown has also come out pleading for more gun control.
See, Umpqua Community College had every gun control measure in place that a non violent liberal could wish for. The campus itself was a declared "Gun Free Zone" so no evil firearms were even allowed on campus. In fact, there was even a unarmed security guard in place to enforce this gun free zone. By all rights, everyone should have been safe from gun violence in these surroundings, right? I mean, everything that liberals want in the way of gun control was present that day in Roseburg, Oregon. With no guns allowed on campus, gun violence was out of reach, right? If there has EVER been a better illustration of the futility of liberal logic on this issue this is it. We must ask ourselves one question in the wake of this tragedy, would the body count in Roseburg been lower had there been someone there on campus targeting the attacker with their own firearm? I believe so. Don't believe me, ask yourselves why so many attackers choose "Gun Free Zones" to commit their acts of cowardice. It's not the Republican congress who gave birth to the Gun Free Zone after all. The way I see it, the blood of 127 Americans rests squarely in the hands of Barack Obama. Sadly, I'm not holding my breath for the national media to hold him accountable for this. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims of this tragedy in my home state of Oregon. Instead of consoling the victims and families of this latest tragedy, Barack Obama has chosen to politicize this issue once again. Really...Mr. President?
