Following the massacre of students at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, last Friday, President Obama issued a statement of condolence and reiterated his determination to press for more gun laws.
On Monday he announced that he would visit Roseburg to console the families of the victims. But apparently this was not by invitation, and resistance to his unwelcome intrusion is building.
In last Friday’s remarks, the president made clear his agenda:

The United States of America is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient common-sense gun-safety laws — even in the face of repeated mass killings….

So tonight … I’d ask the American people to think about how they can get their government to change these laws….

And that will require a change of politics on this issue.

To promote his version of the change that is needed, he asserted, “Each time this happens I’m going to bring this up … I’ve got to have a Congress and I’ve got to have state legislatures and governors who are willing to work with me on this.”

 Good for them, its not like he's campaigning, he is going to Oregon for one thing and one thing only his idiotic Legacy agenda...

As in the past what normally comes after a so-called "mass shooting" like the one recently in Oregon is that the anti-gun crowd comes out of the woodwork demanding a ban on "assault rifles". Granted, according to the FBI's last published figures for murders in the USA (for 2011), guns accounted for about 68% of all reported killings. What is NOT reported is that rifles accounted for ONLY 323 of the 12,664 murders reported.

This indicates clearly that there is another unspoken agenda within the anti-gun crowd when it comes to banning "assault rifles". Just maybe that agenda may revolve around the fact that the only way for people to defend themselves against a tyrannical, armed, government is by owning, and being able to use, weapons to protect themselves that are comparable to what they are faced with . . . and when it comes to .gov forces that surely will not be handguns.

Also, just to put things in a little perspective here, for the last year I could find data on (2008) there were a reported 13,846 deaths related to drunk driving (BAC over .08%), which is about 60% more deaths caused by DUI than caused by all firearms in the USA in 2011.
