President Obama on Gun Control

ENFORCE  EXISTING LAWS

President Obama published an op-ed in The Arizona Daily Star over the weekend, calling for more enforcement of current gun laws. 

He used Jared Loughner as an example of a mad man who got his hands on a gun, citing lax gun law enforcement.  Here is a man the Army rejected as unfit for service; a man one of our colleges deemed too unstable; a man apparently bent on violence, was able to walk into a store and buy a gun.”

And, let’s not forget that Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, had multiple encounters with Loughner for issuing death threats to a radio host among other things before the shooting on January 8, meaning Dupnik allowed him to slip through the cracks of law enforcement more than once.

In the op-ed, Obama calls for more enforcement of existing gun laws, saying he wouldn’t be surprised if law-abiding gun owners were in agreement with him.
   

Well yes!   Obviously there were many opportunities to enforce existing gun laws.  The question is “Why didn’t they”?   And while we’re on the subject Mr. President, why are we not enforcing existing immigration laws?   Oh, and how about the existing “same sex marriage” law?
