Obama: U.S. Shootings ‘Have No Parallel Anywhere Else’
President Obama reacted to the San Bernardino shootings by once again decrying the level of gun violence in America.
(MANDEL NGAN/AFP/Getty Images)It was only yesterday that the president said, “I mean, I say this every time we’ve got one of these mass shootings; this just doesn’t happen in other countries.”
And in reaction to the shooting today, he again said, “We have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world, and there’s step we can take not to eliminate every one of these mass shootings, but to improve the odds they don’t happen as frequently.”

Guns do not commit violence, people do. It’s amazing how many of these have been on the upswing under this current administration, always in gun free zones.

I know there’s no appealing to reason so just go swab your barrel, crawl back under your rock and STFU.
Maxx44 December 2nd, 2015 at 18:26
Yours is such a vapid statement. People with guns cause horrific violence, and no cliche can alter that fact.
Larry Schmitt December 2nd, 2015 at 18:46
People with guns commit violence. Is there some reason a center for people with developmental disabilities should not be a gun-free zone?
Wendy Sibley December 2nd, 2015 at 19:11
They’re on the upswing under this current administration because right-wing fascist white supremacist conservatives are angry and frustrated and are lashing out against women, children, gays, minorities, the disabled, etc

I bet you’re likely rocking a 1″ HO over the violence with these assault weapons that were used. and damn, can you be any stupider? mass shootings have never happened before Obama became President? ignorant pos.

Syrian refugees are safer staying in Syria. At least there, they know who it is that’s trying to kill them. Over here the next person you pass on the street may decide to open up on you just because they can.
Hugh Everett December 2nd, 2015 at 20:59
Obama will be really angry when they tell him the identity of the shooters.

Sorry about that, Democrats.Hey! Now that you’re shopping around for a new namely for the party…how about “Socialist Party”?Don’t worry, after a few election cycles, people will forget about the Syrian refugees..

While I understand our president’s response to the recent horrific gun violence in the U.S., I cannot agree that these events happen only here.
Wendy Sibley December 2nd, 2015 at 19:07
That’s not what he’s saying. The frequency and severity of these shootings clearly have no parallel elsewhere.
Maxx44 December 2nd, 2015 at 20:00
Y’all got me on frequency for sure. I just hope some common sense gun laws will be enacted to curtail this madness.
tracey marie December 2nd, 2015 at 19:19
where else in a civilised and properous country does this happen at this level of frequency?

Larry Schmitt December 2nd, 2015 at 19:36
See, if everyone at the party had been carrying, they could have prevented this.
And then we’d have dozens of people killed instead of 14. More gunz is the answer, not fewer.
Larry Schmitt December 2nd, 2015 at 20:06
This is no time to talk about gun control. Isn’t that what they always say after one of these? And the next thing that happens is a gun buying spree.
whatthe46 December 2nd, 2015 at 20:16
I think when the gun buying spree starts, it’s because people know it is time for gun control and it’s coming soon to a town near them, so get ’em while you can.
Larry Schmitt December 2nd, 2015 at 20:56
But the gun control never comes.

33,000+ American killed by gun violence every year with 100,000 shot annually. USA’s right wingers attack 1+ per day now: “334 Days, 351 Mass Shootings” http://www.alan.com/2015/12/02/334-days-351-mass-shootings/
Every day in the USA an average of 289 people are shot by guns. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/01/16/16547690-just-the-facts-gun-violence-in-america?lite White guys remain most likely to shoot themselves.
Eighty-six of them die:
30 are murdered
53 kill themselves
Two die accidentally, and one is shot in a police intervention, the Brady Campaign reports. Each year 33,000 are killed by guns in the USA with 100,000 shot annually.

Yeah right! Shootings only happens in America. This stuff doesn’t happen in places like Paris……What a confused individual Odumer is.

why isn’t it a surprise that you discounted his entire message? oh wait, you didn’t read it did you? what a jackass. and the murders that were dismissed were by your inbred kind. the 3 that were murdered at PP, were praised by ignorant jackasses and bigots and racists such as yourself. politicians have even said they got what they deserved. if they were murdered by someone other than a white pos, then you and the rest of the inbred bastards would be mourning their deaths. instead, you fuckers were happy. he’s a better man than that sperm donor of yours could ever hope to be, including you.
