Obama asks Congress for money to prevent mass shootings

#1

Post by gthaustex »

Here we go again. This is part of the upcoming White House budget on goodies they would like to see money allocated to.

I found this interesting from the article:
$2 million would be used "to develop better gun safety mechanisms to prevent the use of firearms by unauthorized users,"
Back to the "smart" firearm.....sigh....

This paragraph caught my eye:
In a statement accompanying the budget request, the Justice Department said it was examining all ways at the federal level "to keep firearms away from traffickers and others prohibited by law from possessing firearms."
That part seems pretty simple to me. Throw Holder in prison!

Typical "liberal" response to a problem. Instead of applying brainpower, throw money at it, as if that's all you need to do. :yawn

Pawpaw is right, Holder and Fast and Furious should both be defunded and sent to the trash heap and that would be one step in the right direction. How about funds for armed security guards at schools? How about allowing CHL holders to carry in more places (schools)?

When I saw the topic I thought "Wow, subsidized CHLs for everyone!" but then I read post.
