This isnt going to go over too well
The President addressed the nation on Wednesday on gun control following the horrific shooting last Friday.
President Obama appointed Vice President, Joe Biden, to lead the effort in curbing gun violence.
The President pledged to use the power of his office to prevent more tragedies like the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
The White House says the President is ready to "actively support" a plan to bring back the ban on assault weapons, as well as other gun restrictions.
"We may never know the reasons... We do know that every day since more Americans have died from gun violence," said President Obama. "We know such violence has terrible consequences.. If there is even one thing we can do to prevent any of these events we have a deep obligation to try."
The President says he wants a set of concrete proposals no later than January.

So if this plan goes through, and theres a ban on all assault weapons or other types of guns, how does that affect the people who currently have them? Will they have to give away, sell, or destroy the guns?

A part of me agrees there's just no need for assault weapons in this country, but another part of my says it's a violation of the 2nd Amendment, and another part of me wants to disagree with anything Obama has to offer.
I listened to his speech earlier today and commend it and agree with everything he said (including that stupid reporter that asked where he's been) BUT the fact that he blames the republicans for causing this mess when his administration are the ones blowing up the bills... is beyond me.
When he blows up the bill, where does that money come from? You and I, our families, neighbors...etc.
Education doesn't need more money. It needs a HUGE overhaul. And there are too many f-ups doing the educating.

Listening to the president is useless. What he signs into law and executive orders is what matters. What he reads off the teleprompters is for his supporters and low-informed voters.
Assault weapons: when the difference is a different piece of plastic screwed to the same gun, you are an idiot. Lookin at you, 1994 democrat party... They will never try to TAKE our guns, because that is a red line and they know it. When the government of the USA starts trying to take guns from otherwise-law-abiding citizens, the government starts having agents shot in the face at front doors all over the country. MUCH more importantly, it leads to your party losing huge in the next election and nothing is more important to a congresscritter than that!
education: what ^ he said.

yep which will help the economy like it did back when obama was pres the first time
fun fact according to fbi data rifles (not just the assault kind) were involved in the murder of 323 people in 2010....total nationwide
its something like 2% of all gun related murder in the USA

f*ck him. Seriously.
And f*ck anyone else that promotes this bullshit.
Come get my guns, I'll stand on my doorstep and proudly fork over every last round I own 1 at a time.
Piss on the US Constitution and I'll find no greater pleasure than to piss on you corpse. We've fought wars over less
