The first signal we had about Pres Obama’s new push for gun control came during his eulogy for slain Rev Clementa Pinckney. The next hint came today in this email…
following that were these Tweets…
“For too long, we’ve been blind to the unique mayhem that gun violence inflicts upon this nation.” —President Obama

Add your name if you agree that it’s time to stand up and do something about gun violence in America: http://t.co/SasWr4rQ7K — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) June 29, 2015
This new push for more gun control should be of no surprise. The admin has pivoted on the message pushing for gun control under the guise of stopping gun violence. None of the laws that were proposed that lost in Congress would have done anything to stop the recent mass killing in Charleston, SC. Many states and cities with very strong gun laws are riddled with gun violence proving more laws will not stop the violence. That unfortunately won’t stop the President from fulfilling his promise thought. And Like former White House Chief of Staff and Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emannuel said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”
