Who is this person in the WH? Libya is on fire; illegal immigrants are crossing the border in masses: Japan has suffered a massive earthquake and tsunami and their economy is in shambles; their market is down 5% and who knows what's going to happen on Monday in the USA; gasoline moving toward $4; we're up to our ears in debt: and Obama can think of nothing except tighter gun control legislation. Incompetency in the WH, Senate, and House. Will a leader please step forward.

Obama Calls for Stricter Enforcement of Gun Laws

Sunday, 13 Mar 2011 07:11 PM

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is calling for more stringent enforcement of existing gun laws, citing the "awful consequences" of gun violence in American society.

Obama says legislation to bolster criminal background checks for gun buyers hasn't been properly implemented, with too many states providing "incomplete and inadequate" information.

He says the system needs to be "faster and nimbler" so it works for gun sellers and "criminals can't escape it."

Obama's remarks appeared Sunday in The Arizona Daily Star. The newspaper is based in Tucson, where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot in January. The accused assailant, Jared Loughner, was considered mentally unstable, yet because he was never deemed mentally ill by a judge or committed to an institution, he was able to legally buy the gun police said he used.

This is what all the non-essential federal employees work on wasting hard working tax payers money.   We need higher taxes so we do not have to cut any of these non-essential (although they feel essential) workers (I guess that is what you can call them).  I wonder how many could make it in the private sector?  I would bet a high percentage want to think they could, but never tried or if they did, no one wanted them.

Look at where the remarks were made ---- TUCSON. Don't you think the citizens of Tucson may be interested in where the government is going on enforcement of gun control after their Congresswoman was SHOT? Usually when the President goes out to speak, they try to gear their remarks to subjects that the locals are concerned about. The article fails to indicate the forum in which these remarks were made, the audience, when he said it, or if he was responding to a questions. Your rant would imply that the President is focused on this to the exclusion of other issues, and you know that isn't true. Really Lotowner -- you need to cross check your sources.
