Just thought I would send Obama loving democrats and liberals bouncing off the wall. Ok, got my popcorn.
Those who want expanded background checks don't care if Obama or another president signs them into law, as long as it gets done.

And what will those advocates say when another mass shooting takes place by a mentally ill person with a gun?

See how that works? You win a battle but not the war, and you're actually happy????

Anyone remember that 1 full day after Sandy Hook the "White House" was setting up talks for a response to gun violence in America?

Feel free to let me know if you see or hear the President speaking of setting up "White House" talks for a new gun control push.

LOL

The people pushing for expanded background checks are members of the reality based community, we acknowledge that no law is perfect and bad things can always happen regardless of good legislation being enacted.

Then what's the point of the law if it can't rectify the situation? If you freely acknowledge that it will not make a substantial difference (because you can't prove it will), then why waste your time? It sounds like the "reality based community" is rather the "emotions based community." You let your emotions drive your goals. There's no point in letting emotion take over just so you feel warm and fuzzy inside. That accomplishes nothing.

Sure you did. You state forthright that the law won't prevent every bad occurrence. I countered by asserting that the law can't prevent ANY bad occurrence. A person intent on committing this type of crime will not be deterred by your insistence on a legislative fix. What's hard to understand about that?

He won the both elections, so sad for you.

In fact, he came away from the 2012 election bruised and lacking a mandate to do anything.
What election were YOU watching? The one that was bruises were numbskulls who thought that Romney had any chance of winning. THOSE who lived in reality, knew he would lose.

Rant on as you will, but this President is the lamest of lame ducks.
Rant as you will, but this president hasn't been a Lame duck. You are still confusing CONGRESS (the ones that are the LAME ducks) with the POTUS.

Get your head out of the nether regions of Faux news and realize that ITS OUR CONGRESS that have been the lame ducks for the past 10 years.

And that was before Putin handed his ass to him in public. Now Barack is not just a lame duck, he's an embarrassment and is worthless.
PUTIN did nothing of the sort, and there you go, kissing the enemies behind, and forget that this same man has done WORST in his country.

oh gee, why do we have laws against murder, when murders still happen. The laws aren't "rectifying" the situation. People are still murdering people

so IS YOUR solution is to not have ANY laws at all?

That's basically YOUR reasoning.

The Democrats are bankrupt under all accounts ...... DOA I don't care what Obama says anymore. There is nothing he can do...... literally.....

The entire admin should be recalled and we should have a early vote. Every last one of them in the top admin are just losers.

I swear Obama must have been a janitor at Harvard if he was even there at all...
