Gun Humpers since Obama was elected President. That statement scratches the ring wing crowd big time itch of Racial hatred.

I've seen people (well, only one, really) blame 9-11 on President Obama.

Yes, 9-11.

fault with millions of like kind thinking People.

It gets old,but we hear this Crap every week from some ignoramus as we go about our business. Sad to say,it is usually someone that is White,older than sixty male and sometimes female spewing this garbage.

It boils down to Ignorance and failure to learn from their past or their Heritage.

faulted "President" Obama for the government's in-depth response to Katrina. So believe me, blaming state senator Obama for 9/11 isn't far off

I'm not responding to anything any of her kids say. Things are bad enough.

My sister and her kids are big trumpsters. Everything they spout about him is nothing but pure stupidity.

Why is Trump 'allowing' violence done to our students?

When Trump accepted the GOP nomination:

"I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end," he said. "Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored."

I wonder why racists continue to be so angry now that the Horrid Black Man is out of their White House? If anything, they seem even angrier than they were before, worried sick that their bang-bangs are going to be confiscated, even when their ideological soul-mates are running the entire government.

If only there was some way to keep these psychologically fragile and mentally unstable persons from getting their hands on guns.

NRA supporters would rather have dead children than any gun control.

To the gun industry, dead children are merely collateral damage/acceptable losses for gun industry profits and political donations.

In most states, minors have trouble owning guns.

We still have background checks for most sales.

And there are more guns on the streets like there are more violins on the streets. We produce more, people buy them, and very few of them are destroyed.

But more and more guns are concentrated in fewer and fewer families, meaning that familiarity with them is down sharply.

if he admitting the assault weapon ban, (which republicans in control of congress let lapse in 2005) was successful. Wouldn't that mean that republicans should be fighting to renew it instead of blocking any attempt to renew it, if they were truly concerned about the carnage being brought into our schools, churches, movie theater, concerts, etc.

The problem now is after over a decade of inaction there at far too many of these weapons out there. It will take years and years for any new legislation to have an immediate impact.
