POTUS talks about guns
-
Q Can you comment on the Walmart shooting, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT: I’m sick and tired of these shootings. We should have much stricter gun laws.
THE PRESIDENT: Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Look, the idea that we’re not enforcing red-flag laws, period, just based on knowledge, not on parents saying or a loved one saying you should arrest this person now for his own sake, is ridiculous.
We got one of the first red-flag laws in the state of Delaware, and my son Beau was the one enforcing it. And it made a lot of difference. It saves lives. So that’s number one.
Number two, the idea — the idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It’s just sick. It has no, no social redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single, solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers.
Q Can you do anything about gun laws during the lame duck, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: I’m going to try.
Q What will you try and do?
THE PRESIDENT: I’m going to try to get rid of assault weapons.
So, a double-barrel shotgun, and a double-action revolver fall under this proposal.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Semi-Auto? Semi-Auto has saved countless lives That has no redeeming social value? Self-Defense and House Defense are not Rationsles?
