HOW PRESIDENT OBAMA's MAKING AMERICA SAFER FOR OUR CHILDREN (Weekly Address) (4293 hits)
PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE
In this week's address, the President reflected on the progress of the past year, and looked forward to working on unfinished business in the coming year, particularly when it comes to the epidemic of gun violence.
I disagree with Obama on this one. No gun laws will stop suicides, homegrown terrorists attacks, police violence against unarmed citizens, or gun violence in the black community. Obama's proposal is tax based, allowing states to charge owners an annual license fee and tax all private sales.It's about money not safety. He's been in office for nearly 8 years and black communities are no better off. We have to stop depending on the United States, which is a corporation not a government, to provide for our people. We must take the responsibility upon ourselves. It is our responsibility. We have the means.

Quick Question Sister Demi, If over 70 percent of American's wants Background checks, isn't he carrying out the will of the people?
Hay Ron, I've been hearing this claim the past couple days leading up to the President's announcement shortly, that 40% of gun sales bypass background checks, largely because of Internet sales. I have a gun I want to sell online. If the buyer is in a state other than mine can we bypass the background check?

Then how would know that you are not selling a gun to someone who is on the NO FLY LIST or someone that the FBI is looking at for a possible terrorist actions, how would you know STEVEN?
Respectable Deacon Gray, I haven't been privy to that survey and quite frankly don't believe in polls or statistics, which are generally manipulated. Neither Obama nor any other president of that corporation has black issues on their agenda. People who want guns will get them. Gun violence in our communities and all other communities will continue to exist because laws do not control people's way of thinking. I'm not concern with people on the No Fly list or FBI terrorists search, because the terrorists in our communities (trigger happy white cops) look nothing like the people in the Media. We have to focus on our issues, not make their enemies our enemies, when in all cases we never get the whole story, and protect our children and ourselves--by any means necessary.

I encourage black America to arm themselves. No war has ever been won with prayer or by marching the soles off one's feet. While black America is encourage to trade in their guns for Target or Walmart gift cards, whites are buying up guns like its nobody business. Historically, since its inception in the late 1800s, the United States has NEVER protected black America. We are our own keepers.

In all fairness Ron, I did ask you a question?

as ALWAYS Mrs. Agnes Levine YOUR news of the Greatest American President EVER is always welcomed by ME.
thank you
Americas silly RACIST past....was MADE by the Gun
----No African Asian would have gotten on that boat west ----No Indigenous person would have surrendered
BUT 2016----opposition to Our Commander in Chief is from racistHATRED
----Folks that think 'blackWhiteRedYellow' People will get them eventually...."need the BEST gun"
but I guess on Defense, I am with Miss Demi and NEVER disagree with President Baraka Hussein Obam
.....ALL AMERICANS should get as Much as allowed, affordable Care----jets, drones, tanks, and ships
No one has yet to explain how Barack Obama's new gun laws will stop gun violence in the black communities. Black youths, and most black on black gun violence crimes are not committed by people who buy guns at gun show. I seldom see other blacks at gun shows. Obama is a joke, and I don't care what black person doesn't like this fact. What has changed in our communities since he's been president. He cried over white kids but not blacks. Come on black people.

As you know in this country after a mass shooting white folks go mentally ill and have a good chance of living through the arrest procedure, I even heard that the church assassin was taken to McDonald's before he was booked. Do, you think he could have passed a simple background check?
I say close the GUN SHOW LOOPHOPES which makes it easies for the sick and those who have an agenda to put there hands on a weapon.
People of color are called terrorist. We will never know how many mass shooters have been stopped because they are stopped by a simple background check but want I do know, if a terroirs from overseas do come to the United States to commit a act of terror, they can get their hands on any weapon they want because of that open door called the show loops hole.
Everybody should feel much safer that THE GUN SHOW LOOPHOLE is open and it is here?
Changing the so called loopholes at gun shows benefits the government that will gain TAX dollars and License fees. A background check does not determine a person's mental stability. It is all a bunch of deceptive elephant poop. Drugs in the black communities have killed more people than guns.

Changing so called loopholes means that responsible people can get GUNS. keeping the gun loopholes as is means the weapons corporations will maintain huge profits in the deaths of Americans.
If there is another attack on a school or a church or even in a movie show, I only hope that the people that carriers out such an act won't get their weapons from a GUN SHOW or over THE INTERNET.
When you sell a gun on the Internet you ask the buyer to send a copy of the dealer's FFL and ship the gun to the dealer not the buyer. When the buyer goes to the dealer to pick up the gun, voila!, the dealer runs a background check.

For me as a seller in Pennsylvania it's country wide. If I were a seller in California,the federal law applies if the buyer is in any state but California.

Exactly... Gun Control Act of 1968 ("GCA") (1968): Focuses primarily on regulating interstate commerce in firearms by generally prohibiting interstate firearms transfers except among licensed manufacturers, dealers and importers.
Exactly what Ron? That the Federal government is better qualified than the Calfornia government to regulate firearms? That California needs Big Brother to step in because they don't know how to do the job right for the citizens of California?

I end my comments on this subject with, I support our constitutional right to bear arms, and the right of individuals and dealers to sell guns without government bureaucracy. When the U.S. government impose ACTS, they are not meant to benefit the people. This is a proven fact.

Miss Demi
Just thinking a loud, who is the government? Who is running America? Have you ever asked that question?
Under the doctrine of Parens Patriae, "Government As Parent", as a result of the manipulated bankruptcy of the United States of America in 1930, ALL the assets of the American people, their person, and of our country itself are held by the Depository Trust Corporation at 55 Water Street, NY, NY, secured by UCC Commercial Liens, which are then monetized as "debt money" by the Federal Reserve. It may interest you to know that under the umbrella of the Depository Trust Corporation lies the CEDE Corporation, the Federal Reserve Corporation, the American Bar Association, the legal arm of the banking interests, and the Internal Revenue Service, the system's collection agency.
We the people have given are rights away and now the bankers and corporation's is the government now. If you think that you can defend yourself by bearing arms, then OK but the get back in control of our government, we need to come out and vote and don't let no one or spirit stop you.
Do you mean who is behind the propoganda?

Steve Williams
Respectable Deacon Gray, you are absolutely right about the hidden hand behind what some call 'government.'

Miss Demi
Thank You for the acknowledgement Sister Demi, many people don't know that. The reason why in the last bank recession not one banker went to jail and the supreme court said that it is OK to buy politicians is because it is all about the upper classes.
At this date, money is not backed up by anything but a promise, where money use to be backed up by gold.
If the faith of the United States Business and finance world is shaken, the strength of the dollar weakens here in the US and we will see run away inflation and a weak market.
This is why The republican party is promoting this smoke screen about Mexicans and a wall, Terrorism and racism.
They don't want the people looking at the real problem and that is corporate takeovers of the strongest economical system in the history of the world.
You will stand a better chance landing in jail with a dime bag of pot, then a banker stealing Tens of millions dollars from the system.
There's only one problem though. Obama is a corporate puppet. Or have you changed your mind about TPP Ron?
Sunday, January 17th 2016 at 6:25PM
Steve Williams
No, I have not changed my mind but the president needs the Republican control house and senate to bring up and pass this bill for the president signature for the TPP to become LAW.
