We Need Gun Control, Not Pandemics To ‘Slow Mass Shootings In This Country’ Says Obama

Barack Obama

Barack Obama has demanded that lawmakers combat what he described as an “epidemic of gun violence” in the United States.

Obama made his remarks Tuesday after a gunman fatally shot multiple people at a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado.

Breitbart reports: “It is long past time for those with the power to fight this epidemic of gun violence to do so. It will take time to root out the disaffection, racism, and misogyny that fuels so many of these senseless acts of violence,” Obama wrote in a statement.

“But we can make it harder for those with hate in their hearts to buy weapons of war. We can overcome opposition by cowardly politicians and the pressure of a gun lobby that opposes any limit on the ability of anyone to assemble an arsenal. We can, and we must,” the former president continued. “A once-in-a-century pandemic cannot be the only thing that slows mass shootings in this country. We shouldn’t have to choose between one type of tragedy and another. It’s time for leaders everywhere to listen to the American people when they say enough is enough—because this is a normal we can no longer afford.”

“We should be able to go to school, or go out with our friends, or worship together without mentally planning our escape if someone shows up with a gun. We should be able to live our lives without wondering if the next trip outside our home could be our last,” he added.

On Monday afternoon, suspected gunman Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, allegedly opened fire inside a King Soopers store and killed 10 people, including active-duty police officer Eric Talley, before he was taken into custody by law enforcement.

Al Aliwi Alissa, a resident of Denver, was reportedly shot in the leg during the rampage and has received medical treatment for his wounds at a hospital. The suspect has been charged with 10 counts of murder, police announced Tuesday. 

Investigators have not established a motive, but authorities believe he was the only shooter, Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said.

    • Jews are doing this. They are hiding behind partisan politics to do it by make no mistake jews are the people trying to take guns away from law abiding citizens.

      Calling them democrats is a wet dream for the jew mob. You should stop.

    • What we see here in the States as far as these mass shootings is what the Obama Administration funded and endorsed in Syria, using mercenaries(“terrorists”) as a pretext to try and overthrow Assad. This was quite normal for Syrians for almost a decade, with hundreds of thousands of civilians murdered and infrastructure demolished. Even now the USA controls illegally 90% of Syria’s oil that could help rebuild the nation. The media abhors these mass killings at home while covering up/endorsing them abroad!

  1. You need a new morality for rule of law not gun control You need a bomb dropped on your eat mongering class of billionaires to stop them.glirifying killing as heroic You need to get rid of the globalists who want to murder all of their opposition who make killing heroic

    • For most people, the only person who’d be the most trustworthy in this collage of pictures, would be the guy in the bottom right corner…

      • Exactly, Bobby; instead of Adolf Hitler’s photo on the bottom right as you look at it, it should’ve been that of Josef Stalin or Mao Tse-Dong.

    • Comparing these communists to Hitler is stupid. Hitler was right and there were no death camps. Jews are the biggest liars on this planet.

  2. It was One of Obama’s Syrian Refugee he imported from Syria from 2008-2015 that Turned Jihadi. .President Trump was 100% Correct by habing a Country Ban List

  3. In defense, a gun makes a 14 year old girl equal to a 300 pound rapist. Take the gun away from that girl, and there is no weapon that girl can use to protect herself.

    A gun takes the advantage of strength away from any person wanting to harm someone else.

        Americans BOUGHT British guns from the British to protect themselves from the Indians. The first Massacre recorded on the American continent occurred in 1622 at Jamestown. The colonists and the Indians had enjoyed a peace treaty for 11 years. Colonists migrated away from Jamestown up the peninsula and both up and down the coastline. They adopted orphaned Indian children. They formed a college to teach those Indians, who were interested, how to read and write. They traded iron goods for copper. Then the Chief died and his brother took over. He ordered a surprise attack on the Colonists. An orphan Indian adopted by a farmer down the coast learned of the surprise attack scheduled for the next day and warned his adopted family. The family got in a row boat and paddled across the bay and warned the fort at Jamestown. The alarm was sent out, but the Indian attack slaughtered everyone who had migrated away from the Fort. Only about 400 Colonists survived inside the Fort. Help arrived, and within 40 years there were no Indians left anywhere on the peninsula. The mistrust and bigotry imprinted on the surviving White population (and their future generations) probably colored all future relations with other Indian tribes. I’m sure that led to unjustified attacks by White people, which no doubt generated mistrust, bigotry, and envy on the part of the Indians (and their future generations). Which I’m sure led to unjustified attacks by the Indians. The necessity of guns was well established long before the Americans fought the British in the late 1700s. But the British quickly realized that gun ownership was a direct threat to them. As the story goes, the first shot in the war was caused by the British attempting to take the guns away from the Americans. Whether in the defense of Home, Fort, or Country; a citizenry with weapons is a formidable obstacle to those who would abuse us.

  4. He didnt stop his henchmen shouting to death in cold blood a totally defenseless black mother of a tiny baby who had wanted to see him specifically For some reason All swept under the rug proving their guilt His guilt Obombo who had over 200,000 bombs dropped in Sharia Law countries preaching pacifism? Unbelievable gall .

  5. This tragedy along with mass shootings of the past signify the illness in the minds of men propagandizing the masses for $$. The same types who threw this country into middle-east genocide will not be satisfied until the entire world is under their control. They will fail again and again.
