President Obama is set to reveal his gun control proposals at an event Wednesday. Never one to let a crisis go to waste, the optics of the event are set even as the president is supposedly only just now learning what Vice President Joe Biden will recommend.
Mr. Obama will also lay out executive orders related to data collection on firearms and overall gun violence, according to CBS News Chief White House correspondent Major Garrett.
At least three pro-gun control groups will attend the announcement, which will take place at 11:45 a.m. ET. Among those in the audience will be children who wrote to the president after school shootings.
How about the NRA or Gun Owners of America? Will they be there? How about any gun owners who have used firearms to protect themselves, their families or their property? Do they get no say here?
I have to say, staging this event with children is gross, even for this president. Many of these kids are not educated on the Constitution, the Second Amendment or firearms. They may have been told to write those letters by their schools, which increasingly take it upon themselves to behave like ninny idiots on the subjects of liberty and the natural right of self-defense. The proposals that Obama is likely to unveil would have done nothing to stop the Newtown killer. But the optics of having the kids there will, the president and his handlers believe, help him sell whatever he proposes.
The sad thing is, given the state of ignorance in the media and among many voters, he may be right.
Thing 1 – Anyone else hearing the words “Human Shields” ala Sadam Hussein?
Thing 2 – You don’t put on a “dog and pony show” on this scale in just a couple of days… it requires planning, logistics and money.
“Among those in the audience will be children who wrote to the president after school shootings.”
Children who just happened to write the President? Sure, Mac! Children whose teachers just happened to be NEA reps who all just happened to think of having their students write the Dear Leader after a school shooting.
By having children there Obama is apparently willing to stand on the “graves of the Children of Newton” to get his agenda passed.
Well, we have north-korean style media, we need north-korean style “events”: the children should be waving flowers and chanting “We love our Leader”.
Any person not smiling should be immediately arrested and moved to the same jail where our Benevolent Leader keeps the maker of the movie about Muhammad.
And a big banner should
THANK OBAMA FOR LIMITING OUR DANGEROUS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS !
(And thank you, 60 % of voters who have re-elected a subversive who hates our Freedom.)
“But the optics of having the kids there will, the president and his handlers believe, help him sell whatever he proposes.”
This tactic sure didn’t help with the selling of Obamacare so I’ll wager his gun control gambit won’t fare any better.
Jeez, what a scumbag. At least we’ll always have http://www.ebay.com/itm/150980361253?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
What, no child-sized coffins? How can they let a crisis go to waste like this?
Unholy Hell. What an evil clown show this is becoming.
At some point all the kids will look like Damien and the Sixth Sense girl
Are the kids gonna sing a hymn to the Glorious Bleater after his Tyrannical Acts?
Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
Democrats love pulling this “it’s for the childwen” malarkey. A lot of times, several under Clinton, they brought out the kiddies when they needed to ram through some really awful piece of legislation. Liberals always fall for it though and sadly so do an increasing number of others, probably because they are no longer being taught to think or have a little discipline in schools and so are emotional basket cases.
– has the flu and will puke on President Pettigrew’s shoes.
