Unfortunately President Obama is politicizing the tragic shooting in Colorado at a premier of Batman The Dark Knight Rises by calling for more gun control.
James Holmes killed 12 people and injured another 59 a week ago Thursday in what is the largest mass shooting in US history.
President Obama spoke at the National Urban League Conference in New Orleans on Wednesday July 25 and said this:
I believe the second amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms, but I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not on the streets of our cities.
While the President thinks AK-47s should be taken off the streets, it is a not very well publicized fact that thankfully the AK-47 James Holmes was using jammed.
But isn't it funny that Mayor Bloomberg and Barack Obama do not mention this fact in their calls for restrictions on so called assault weapons.
It was irrelevant that James Holmes used an AK-47, because he had to use his other guns while he tossed the assault weapon aside.
So why is the President making an issue of something that was nearly irrelevant to the tragic Colorado shootings by a deranged madman?
