| That didn't take long: Obama Calls For Gun Control After School Shooting |
| 2018-02-15 |
| [Daily Caller] Former President Barack Obama demanded unspecified "common-sense gun safety laws" after the Florida school shooting on Wednesday that left 17 people dead. "We are grieving with Parkland. But we are not powerless. Caring for our kids is our first job. And until we can honestly say that we’re doing enough to keep them safe from harm, including long overdue, common-sense gun safety laws that most Americans want, then we have to change," Obama wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. Obama did not specify what exact actions he is calling for, or whether they would have prevented Wednesday’s tragedy. |

| #11 Did anyone call for new laws controlling rental trucks after jihadists ran down people in France? Gun control takes aim at the 2nd Amendment. A disarmed population is not a free population. Look at Chicago. Restrictive gun laws but many shootings. |

| #9 I'm probably being paranoid here, but didn't this happen right before the House was going to vote on national CCW reciprocity? And didn't Las Vegas happen right before a vote on removing suppressors from the NFA? |

| #4 The first step toward tyranny is to disarm the populous. The Ottomans did it to the Armenians, Hitler did it to the Jews, Stalin did it to the Cossacks, and Mao did it to everyone. |

| #3 Predictable. Dems are one-trick ponies. They don't really want to do anything about immigration, crime, terrorism, economy, taxes, disturbed people and mass shootings or just about anything else that's hard. They are big on hypocrisy, corruption, PC, identity politics, double-standards, climate change and fundamental |

| #1 Caring for our children is our first job so we can all agree we need to enforce all immigration laws. |
