The fact it's was a Muslim and terrorist act will be swept under the rug.

 

My guess tied to radical Islam and used guns bought illegally. Not to mention he had a bomb of some sorts.

This is the largest mass shooting... It won't be swept under the rug.

 

No, it will have the focus taken away from the problem, each side will use statistics to drive their view, and nothing will be done.

 

1. Obama will go on TV, cry more, blame the guns and violence, twist statistics, not addressing the underlying issues.

2. The right wing will try their best to again scare people and talk about how our rights will be taken away, blame all of Islam, ect.

3. Knee jerk reactions kick in that won't address the real problem, sheep will be happy.

 

To fix the gun violence problem you need to fix the people problem, that goes against what each party stands for, and won't win elections.

I vote we test out some new munitions with our drone capability and even clear out some of the old munitions. I think we know of a few places in the mountains of Afghanistan and the sands of the Middle East.

Bombing the middle east does nothing but harm our national security...

Copied from another site. Interesting crossover info in this write up.

 

 

When Barack Obama speaks to the public, it is very rare that he does so without a specific purpose in mind. So why is he urging Americans “to be prepared for a disaster” all of a sudden? On May 31, Obama took time out of his extremely busy schedule to deliver an address at the FEMA National Response Coordination Center in Washington. During his speech, he stressed that every American is responsible for preparing for disasters, and that includes “having an evacuation plan” and “having a fully stocked disaster supply kit.” These are basic steps that I have been encouraging people to do for years, but if they won’t listen to me, perhaps they will listen to the man currently residing in the White House. The following excerpt from Obama’s speech comes directly from the official White House website…

 

One of the things that we have learned over the course of the last seven and a half years is that government plays a vital role, but it is every citizen’s responsibility to be prepared for a disaster. And that means taking proactive steps, like having an evacuation plan, having a fully stocked disaster supply kit. If your local authorities ask you to evacuate, you have to do it. Don’t wait.

 

This speech was timed to coincide with the beginning of the hurricane season, although hurricanes have not posed much of a threat lately.

 

In fact, a major hurricane has not made landfall in the United States for 127 straight months.

 

But without a doubt, we all need to be preparing for disaster. Hurricanes can create a short-term emergency that can last for a few days, but there are other threats that could create a major emergency that could potentially last for an extended period of time. That list of potential threats includes a major volcanic eruption, a natural or engineered pandemic, a west coast earthquake, a New Madrid earthquake, a tsunami on either the east or west coasts, a meteor impact, Islamic terror, war, an EMP burst that takes down the power grid, cyberwarfare, economic collapse, and civil unrest resulting in the imposition of martial law.

 

Of course the items that I just mentioned are not mutually exclusive. In fact, in different scenarios we could actually see multiple events happen in rapid succession.

 

 

 

It is interesting to note that during his speech Barack Obama also noted that the American people seem to have become very complacent about getting prepared…

 

And what we’ve been seeing is some public complacency slipping in; a large portion of people not having preparedness kits, not having evacuation plans.

 

This is exactly what I have been noticing as well. There appears to be a tremendous amount of apathy out there, and relatively few people really seem to feel much urgency to get prepared these days.

 

My contacts in the emergency preparedness industry have been telling me that sales are way down right now. There was a big peak last fall, but since then it is like interest in prepping has just fallen off the map.

 

Ultimately, those companies are going to be okay because interest will pick back up shortly as global events begin to spiral completely out of control. However, of much greater concern is the fact that people have not been using this period of relative calm constructively.

 

Just like we have seen in Venezuela, time to prepare eventually runs out. And someday there will be millions of parents that are absolutely horrified when their children come to them crying out for food and they don’t have anything to give to them because they didn’t heed the warnings and they didn’t get prepared.

 

When that day arrives, many of those families may be forced to turn to whatever help the government is offering at the time.

 

One more thing that I found particularly noteworthy about Obama’s speech was that he said that there is now “a FEMA app” that can direct you to the nearest “FEMA shelter” in the event of a major emergency.

 

If you need information about how to put together an evacuation plan, how to put together a disaster preparedness kit, as Craig said, we’ve got an app for everything now. We have a FEMA app in English and in Spanish to help you prepare your family for a disaster. You can update the National Weather Service alerts. You can get safety tips for more than 20 kinds of hazards. It provides you directions to nearby shelters.

Obama's speech didn't surprise me at all... *Rolleyes*

 

I really wonder if he honestly thinks outlawing guns would solve anything. Cocaine is outlawed and how many thousands of tons of it is in the USA right now? List could obviously go on. Not to mention there are so many guns here already unaccounted for. All your going to do is create zones where

 

The problem is immigration and mental health in this country. If you want more strict background checks go for it I don't care. But don't you ever try to take/control my guns anymore than you already do.

 

Love it how he honestly doesn't say anything or even do much for that matter about guns except when a shooting arises and he get the sympathy 'vote'.
