Carney: Obama Implementing Executive Actions Following Navy Yard Shooting

WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday wearily lamented “yet another mass shooting,” this time in the nation’s capital where the debate that raged earlier this year over tightening firearms laws has stalled amid opposition from gun-rights advocates.
The shooting at the Washington Navy Yard came a week after voters recalled two Colorado legislators who supported tougher gun measures, illustrating the strong political headwinds faced by lawmakers seeking to respond to the violence.
Obama, for one, has been powerless to get legislation passed despite a string of mass shootings during his presidency.

In the wake of the shooting at the Navy Yard, Obama spokesman Jay Carney said the president is implementing executive actions and reiterated his commitment to strengthening gun laws, including expanding background checks to sales online and at gun shows.
“The president supports, as do an overwhelming majority of Americans, common-sense measures to reduce gun violence,” Carney said.
Even as it was unfolding, the Washington shooting was reigniting talk about guns. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a leading advocate of gun control legislation, mourned “the litany of massacres” the country has suffered in the form of mass shootings.
“When will enough be enough?” Feinstein asked. “Congress must stop shirking its responsibility and resume a thoughtful debate on gun violence in this country. We must do more to stop this endless loss of life.”
But it was far from certain whether the shooting would actually influence the larger debate over gun control vs. gun rights, given that the already difficult politics of the issue have gotten only tougher since December’s shooting at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School. That shooting, which killed 20 first-graders and six staffers, spurred Obama to propose stricter firearms laws to prevent future deaths.
Gun owners, aided by their advocates at the National Rifle Association, have successfully fought Obama’s legislation, even though polls show broad support for tougher gun laws.

Everyone contact the NRA and tell them that we're keeping our 2nd Amenment Rights and not to let another false flag event sway them. Contact your representatives too.

Number one executive orders are not law so Barry is barking up the wrong tree. Doesn't it seem strange any time they lose one battle they create another false flag. This administration is a prime example of treason to the constitution and to We The People.

Good Luck tryin' to put the gun genie back in that bottle. Anyone that gives up their right to self defense against this tyrannical government will only get what they deserve for doing so-off to camp.

Our Second Amendment shall not be infringed upon and any one who tries to do so or suggest to do so is committing treason and the should be more concerned about a rope.
Take heed you turn coats, your participation in this treason can and will be logged for eventual legal prosecution.
Do not assume that the legal protections afforded you via an international emergency, martial law, or war time acts or excuse that you were just following orders will protect you. The criminals under the Nazi regime were tried and convicted for their crimes at the Nuremberg Trials in spite of their defence that they were just following orders or doing their job.
