In case you forgot what happened the last time you tried to shove tyranny down our throats you got your asses handed to you. I'd fix your own socialist problems first.
I'm not going to debate or discuss gun control with you brainwashed cretins.
Take my rights? Take my guns? I say come get them liberal w

You're clearly a bit of a moron. I'm not going to debate or discuss gun control with you brainwashed cretins.

kers.Do you know the reason behind the second amendment, Rambo? Or do you just think, "woohoo guns! My penis is small but my trigger finger is all powerful!"
Some things about Murca are great. The lack of proper gun control is not one of them. It is a sign of an insecure, frightened population who don't want to appear weak to the rest of the world.
Expand your IQ, fella, and by the sounds of it your gene pool too.

Agreed; at the same time, it's an issue that he and pretty much all American politicians shy away from at election time. It's electoral poison. Easy enough to be critical when you have no more elections to fight nor any possibility that you'll actually have to deliver. longblackcoat, please check this out. Obama has pushed repeatedly for gun control, regardless of his electoral position.

it sure looks like a deepening problem, can't believe the pro gun people aren't treated like lepers.

Obama should not hang his head in shame, but every member of Congress who has voted against gun control should do so, as should the majority of the Supreme Court who decided two important gun control cases in recent years (in a pro gun direction). They have blood on their hands, because of their insane worship of a sacred text (the Second Amendment), that in any event they serially misconstrue. Obama cannot act alone. No President can. The President needs the Congress to act with him (or, as it may be, her), and needs the Supreme Court to interpret the Second Amendment correctly, as the minority Justices already do. Add one or two more Justices to their number when Scalia and one of the other conservative jurists retires, and then we shall see.

... what do penises have to do with guns?
WOW! Are you asking that question in all seriousness? You have got to be stting us surely? WOW. Just WOW. 
You are trying to change to a different subject. I use none of that rhetoric. The issues are far more serious than that. You questioned what guns have to do with penises. That is a truly absurd question to ask. Guns are closely associated with ideas of maleness and the phallic. The fact that some women also use guns does not negate that point. See above for phallic imagery in connection with women and guns, as well as men and guns. To suggest that guns and cultural concepts associated with the penis have no relation to one another is to be culturally tone deaf.

The US Supreme Court recently ruled on the meaning of the term "militia" in the second amendment and they did not find it means what you seem to think it means. "Militia" has been found to refer to single citizens who have the right to bear arms. And what do penises have to do with guns? That sort of statement just irritates everybody including the large majority of peaceful and lawful gun owners.
Someone with a far more clear understanding of the US constitution than most. That the meaning has been bastardised or drifted since it was written or from its initial sentiment means little.
And these plebs who go round shooting school kids, or defending their rights to have guns, have some sort of major insecurity, my money is on penis size.

many Democrats in the House and the Senate are pro gun.
Yep, and this is what so angers me. I read an academic paper last year which pointed out that Democratic politicians, particularly senators, flip-flop on gun control and backtrack on their stance as elections approach. Link below is a short precishttp://www.voxeu.org/article/guns-and-votes
You can get the entire paper here but they charge, I'm afraid, unless you're an academic, a journalist etc.
