WASHINGTON (CNN) - More than two months after the fatal shootings in Tucson, AZ, President Barack Obama staked out his position in the gun control debate.
In an op-ed published Sunday in The Arizona Daily Star, the president acknowledged the role of guns in American society but warned of their dangers.
Obama outlined three steps to prevent those "irresponsible, law-breaking few" from "getting their hands on a gun in the first place."
The president said America should enforce laws already on the books, reward states that provide the best data and make background checks faster.
Basically he did a lot of talking without actually saying anything.
Typical....

Doesn't sound like anything is changing. Just more enforcement of laws that are already in place. I love guns as much as anyone and have never had any problems getting one. I don't mind the boring arse paperwork every time or the background check because it does deter some people from getting firearms who don't need them.
I wouldn't like anymore laws added that would potentially place a hold on guns or take longer etc. but as long as it doesn't stop law abiding citizens (all OBers) from purchasing guns then I would say I am ok with it (under certain circumstances). Some people have no business owning a firearm but are still able to get one. I.E. the kid who shot up Virginia Tech even though he had failed a physcological (sp?) exam....etc etc.
