January 3, 2016 - When Obama, ( I refuse to call Obama our President), returns to the White House he might use the Executive Action for Gun Control. Below is an update on the current law in existence provided by Politico.
Currently, the law says people who sell guns with the “principal objective of livelihood and profit” have to get a dealer’s license through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — and therefore conduct a background check on buyers no matter where they sell, including online or at a gun show. I wonder if most applicants will be turned down by the above agency just to appease Obama?
Taken from the White House site that showed Obama in 202 remarking on the gun violence that has taken place. "“If there is even one step we can take to save another child, or another parent, or another town, from the grief that has visited Tucson, and Aurora, and Oak Creek, and Newtown, and communities from Columbine to Blacksburg before that -- then surely we have an obligation to try.”
It's true the USA must do more about the overwhelming violence that has taken place in the past ten years. However, the best solution, in my humble opinion, is to hire more border agents and police around the country. Sadly that will be tough since the criminals complain on how bad they are treated by cops.
Why is it the news and some citizens complain about bad cops but seldom if ever about those committing violent protest, destroying business and killing innocent people?
The best background checks in the country will not stop criminals and murderers from getting guns. Criminals and murderers will either steal them or convince a friend, such as what happened recently in San Bernadino, California, to buy guns and then turn them over, such as took place there, in the murder of innocent people at a company party, took place.
We make excuses for horrible behavior from childhood through adulthood. The most common excuse is mental problems. Seldom if ever has today's parents taken responsible on how they raised their child. My answer to this, when your child shows aggression, temper tantrums, or violence towards others, then maybe they need to seek help from a professional to learn why their child behaves that way.
For those who ask, no I do not have children. I saw how tough it was for my mother and how she gave 24/7 to love and nourish us. I, being so independent and selfish, decided that was not for me. For those parents who do this today, I applaud you and may God Bless you.
