Vacation Over, Obama Looking At Ways To Reduce Gun Violence

WASHINGTON (AP) – Hawaiian vacation over, President Barack Obama says he is energized for his final year in office and ready to tackle unfinished business, turning immediate attention to the issue of gun violence.

Obama scheduled a meeting Monday with Attorney General Loretta Lynch to discuss a three-month review of what steps he could take to help reduce gun violence. The president is expected to use executive action to strengthen background checks required for gun purchases.

Republicans strongly oppose any moves Obama may make, and legal fights seem likely over what critics would view as infringing on their Second Amendment rights. But Obama is committed to an aggressive agenda in 2016 even as public attention shifts to the presidential election.

I have an idea to reduce gun violence:

He could ask the intelligence agencies to stop conducting false flag murder operations in our Country.

That should stop about 95% of the gun violence.

While he speaks he (and his family) will be surrounded by many armed agents! Makes a lot of sense...

Fewer guns, fewer armed agents needed. Makes a lot of sense...

Why does the Justice Dept choose to not prosecute so many gun crimes?

Reducing gun crime is not the true objective. Disarming the citizen is the end game. Check out Alinsky's list.

This headline is wrong. Obama is looking for ways to further restrict our rights as American citizens and ultimately confiscate All guns. If you don't understand this you are brain dead.

Reduce gun violence?

Well, just let the 2nd Amendment be the bar!.

Get rid of all other constrictive laws!

We should try and keep terrorist out of our country instead of bringing them in like Obama wanted to do. He would be better served by keeping them out instead of trying to disarm law abiding Americans.
