Republican politicos - 2016 presidential candidates, congressional lawmakers(???), governors, state legislators, gun lobbyists - and FOXified Republican media pundits love to preach their pro life hypocrisy to rally their base for votes...
...despite the fact that 90% of Americans want expanded background checks; 92% of gun owners support universal background checks, and polling shows that nearly 74% of NRA members support requiring background checks for all gun sales….
...despite the fact that 90% of Americans want expanded background checks; 92% of gun owners support universal background checks, and polling shows that nearly 74% of NRA members support requiring background checks for all gun sales….
...despite the fact that 56% of domestic terrorist attacks and plots in the U.S. since 1995 - including
attacks involving assault weapons - have
been perpetuated by right wing extremists
and not Muslims…
...despite the fact that the 2nd Amendment reads as
follows: “Well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right
of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed”….
...despite the fact that the NRA leadership is opposed to virtually every form of
gun regulation, including restrictions on owning assault weapons, retention of
databases of gun purchases, background checks on purchasers at gun shows and
changes in the registration of fire arms, and
controls Republican governors, state legislators and
congressional lawmakers by designing Republican
state legislated guns everywhere
laws, influencing the Republican Congress’
blockage of a Democratic sponsored bill to ban the sale of guns to terrorists, and dishes out millions on pro Republican and anti-Democrat state and congressional political campaigns….
Despite all of the above facts, FOXified Republican media pundits and politicos persisted in their typical factually illiterate lies about President Obama's executive actions before he even presented the actions!?!?
Obama wants to take away your guns!
Obama is a tyrant!
Obama acts as if he’s a dictator!
Obama is undermining our Second Amendment
rights!
It’s delusional, dangerous and
unconstitutional!
And on and on and on!
And on and on and on!
Here are some of the President's executive action comments FOXified Republican media pundits and politicos, conveniently, failed to mention after he spoke: (See Factsheet and Video links below for full content.)
Every single year more than 30,000
Americans have their lives cut short by guns….
I believe in the Second Amendment. It guarantees a right to bear arms. No matter how many
times people try to twist my words around. But I also believe that we can find
ways to reduce gun violence consistent
with the Second Amendment….
Second Amendment rights are important, but
there are other rights that we care about as well. And we have to be able to
balance them. Our right to worship
freely and safely - that right was denied to Christians in Charleston, South
Carolina, and that was denied Jews in Kansas City, and that was denied Muslims
in Chapel Hill, and Sikhs in Oak Creek. They had rights, too.
Our right to peaceful
assembly - that right was robbed from moviegoers in Aurora and Lafayette. Our
unalienable right to life, and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - those
rights were stripped from college students in Blacksburg and Santa Barbara, and
from high schoolers at Columbine, and from first-graders in Newtown - first
graders - and from every family, who never imagined that their loved one would
be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun.
Here are President Obama’s gun
control executive actions:
- Keep guns out of the wrong hands through background checks related to conducting business from a store, at gun shows, or over the Internet.
- The President’s FY2017 budget will include funding for 200 new ATF agents and investigators
- The ATF has established an Internet Investigation Center to track illegal online firearms trafficking.
- The ATF is finalizing a rule to ensure that dealers who ship firearms notify law enforcement if their guns are lost or stolen in transit.
- The Obama Administration is encouraging every U.S. Attorney’s Office to renew domestic violence outreach efforts.
- The Obama Administration is proposing a new $500 million investment to increase access to mental health care.
- The President has directed the Department of Defense, Justice and Homeland Security to conduct or sponsor research into gun safety technology.
Compare the President's commentary and actions with the factually illiterate commentaries of Republican politicos and FOXified Republican media pundits!?!?
As a matter of fact, CNN invited the President and NRA leadership to participate in a televised gun violence Town Hall meeting with pro and anti gun control Americans which was broadcast after the President's announcement.
The NRA leadership declined the invitation while their pro gun propaganda ads and Republican politico and media spokespersons are flooding the airways and campaign trails with factually illiterate fear mongering about take away your guns executive actions that don't even exist!

WE can stop the Republican
disregard for life beyond the womb!
Most importantly, Gotta Vote
in every election - local, national,
midterm and general!
Elect individuals who value the right to life over the hunger to attain NRA ratings, gun lobby campaign
dollars and political leverage to deny assault weapon controls, deny voting rights, deny affordable health care, deny equal pay for equal work, deny increasing the minimum wage, deny jobs legislation, and deny immigration reform!
