Obama: Biden to Lead Effort Against Gun Violence

Source : Posted by CNN Wire Staff

President Barack Obama said Wednesday that Vice President Joe Biden will lead an administration effort to develop recommendations no later than January for preventing another tragedy like last week’s school shooting in Connecticut that left 20 young children and six adults dead.

The vast majority of gun owners in America are responsible, but the more than 10,000 Americans killed every year by guns was “violence we cannot accept as routine.”

“We won’t prevent them all, but that can’t be an excuse” not to try, the president added.

As for the National Rifle Association, Obama said the pro-gun lobby in the United States, “has members who are mothers and fathers” likely impacted by the shooting.

Catherine’s Response:

Dear Mr. President:

You are a liar and a con man.

Financial bailouts, derivatives and market manipulation, debasement of the currency, fraudulent inducement and pump and dump of the housing market, invasive technology, pandering to pharmaceutical companies, allowing GMO and processed foods and government supported narcotics trafficking kill hundreds of thousands of Americans every year.

If you want to save lives, why don’t you stop the US government from implementing genocide as a matter of state policy every day?

Perhaps that would be a better idea than trying to make sure we can not protect ourselves from your drug gangs and “fast and furious” gun runners.

I do appreciate your position in search of a breakout answer on the fiscal cliff. Think of how much easier it will be to raise taxes and cut spending if the only people who have access to serious weapons are you, your large donors and their covert operators.
