W.H. Press Secretary Cant Explain How Regulations Will Stop Mass ShootingsBy Joshua Krause Which is why he has given up on changing the rules through any proper channel. After failing to get Congress to do his bidding, he has decided to issue an executive order that will tighten background checks (though its full details have yet to be released). Hes even working with state governors to get them to issue their own executive orders. Like a true tyrant, he is simply ignoring what the people and their elected representatives want (however flawed those representatives may be), because he thinks we are just children that need to be told how to live. Also like a true tyrant, he doesnt have a good explanation for why our rights need to be discarded, or how that might benefit us in any way. On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest was asked about the Obama Administrations gun policies. Specifically, a reporter pointed out that none of Obamas proposals would have stopped any of the mass shootings weve had. Heres the answer Josh Earnest gave (or I should say, the answer he didnt give because he completely dodges the question). The powers-that-be used wait until something bad happened, so they could use that event as an excuse to take away our rights. At first glance, thats what the Presidents latest anti-gun crusade sounds like, but its not. Josh Earnest just suggested that we tighten background checks for what might happen. What theyre really doing is taking our rights preemptively, before anything could possibly justify it. Ironically, thats exactly how most people land on the no fly list. No judge, no jury, no crime. All it takes is a little suspicion or an accusation, and you lose your right to travel. Soon youll lose your right to defend yourself as well. And thats not all. If Josh Earnest is truly the face of the Obama Administration, then its safe to assume that the President is completely clueless about why Americans have been buying so many guns (or he just doesnt care). President Obamas spokesman said Thursday that the record number of Americans seeking to buy guns in recent weeks is a tragedy that the White House is at a loss to explain. The more that we see this kind of violence on our streets, the more people go out and buy guns, said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. That is both ironic and tragic. The FBI conducted 185,345 firearms background checks on Black Friday, the most ever during a single day. The record number of gun sales came two weeks after the Islamic States terrorist attacks in Paris, but before the terrorist massacre in San Bernardino, California. Asked why he thinks so many Americans are buying guns, Mr. Earnest replied, I dont know, I really dont. In some cases these are individuals who believe that they need to buy a gun so that they can better protect themselves, he said. In some cases because its Black Friday, they probably are going and purchasing a gift for a friend or a loved one who is a gun enthusiast. Im just pointing out that there are already an astonishing number of guns on the streets of America and far too many innocent Americans who are being killed by them. Yes, it doesnt make sense that more guns have been sold during a presidency that has seen more mass shootings than any before it, and its just inexplicable that so many guns would be sold during the most anti-gun presidency in American history.

Always interesting that the drug war and mental health are never mentioned, but thats the root cause of most shootings. The US doesnt have a mental health treatment plan. Families ask for help and are told nothing can happen until something really bad happens. Its the same with aging parents. The main reason Obama doesnt want to talk about the mental health problem is that his political party is the cause, Back in the 60s, the progressives changed all of the laws about committing people with mental health issues. The result of their success has been an explosion in the number of homeless and mass shootings. The drug war makes dealing drugs profitable. Most of the gun violence is associated in some way with drugs and relevant gangs. But I never hear Obama mention that. They want our guns so they can trade them for drugs and further enslave the masses. They profit from and are responsible for 95% of all drugs. This allows them to continue the lifestyle of debauchery right Eric the gun runner Holder. WELL some one finally woke up to the fact GUN CONTROL ** WILL NOT ** WORK
