| White House Press Secretary Jay Carney announced this afternoon that President Obama will unveil a “concrete package” of gun control proposals including assault weapons bans, high capacity ammunition magazine bans, and closing loopholes on background checks. Carney said that the president will be joined by Vice President Joe Biden as well as children who wrote to the president after the Newtown shootings. “They will be joined by children around the country expressing their concerns about gun violence and school safety, along with their parents,” Carney confirmed. President Obama specifically mentioned children during his

Comments: These people are just beyond anything I have ever seen in my lifetime. 0bama and his regime have taken political hypocrisy and shamelessness to a level never seen before. The only thing missing from this charade is the parents of those who lost children at Sandy Hook. Don´t think they wouldn´t parade them around if they could. In the meantime, they are destroying the freedoms of every American in this country. Some of them are too stupid to know it.

How about bring in rfk´s children and grandchildren. Remember he was killed with .22 short revolver. Are those little weapons to be banned too? How about James and Sarah Brady? I´m sure they are available as props.

Will all these children and their parents be flown in to DC aboard the fleet of government Gulfstream jets? Will they be quartered at DC hotels? If so, it will be a very expensive propaganda opportunity.

Another Alinsky tactic. The left has been doing this for years. Hillary tried the same thing with her healthcare debacle, I recall a few of the kid´s and their parent´s were exposed as frauds. 0bama has used props throughout his career/campaign. He never gets called on it by the MSM. The left is morally bankrupt, manipulative and condescending. He only plays to the dummies.

Straight out of the Soviet Union, Communist China, North Korea, and Cuba propaganda playbook to use children as props.
Anyone out there care to argue that Obama and his fellow democrats aren´t hard core communists whose goal is impose a totalitarian rule over this country?
Obama seems bent on fomenting revolt and a second Civil War. Where are the Republicans in Congress. As some point they have to stand up, regardless of the media consequences, and act like true patroiots, whatever the cost.

The GOP ought to strap on a pair and use the same tactic for the millions and millions of fatherless children exposed to poverty due to the left´s institutionalization of the welfare state and thousands of children murdered by urban street gangs which are the result of those same policies. America needs a leader to fight this scum.

There is nothing wrong with having children on the stage. Every president or candidate in the television age has had proponents or beneficiaries of proposed legislation on the stage.
He is not calling for a total gun ban, in spite of the screams of some gun advocates. He has the right to ask for legislation regarding assault weapons and high capacity magazines. He may or may not have the votes to get it, but he absolutely has the right to ask Congress for such legislation.
As for closing loopholes on background checks, why would anyone oppose that? It never made any sense that you had to pass a background check to purchase a weapon from seller A, but you didn´t have to pass one to purchase same weapon from seller B. Or, you could lie on your background check application and no one would pay any attention (a loophole that has put guns into the hands of felons many a time).
The Second Amendment, in its reference to a well-ordered militia, clearly was not intending to promote unlimited guns for known criminals or psychotic individuals. Nothing well-ordered there.

With a population of 360 million people, the number of nuts will grow. Obama has NO right to punish the many for a few. Obama has no right to violate the Constitution. Keep and bear arms is pretty clear to me. At the time those words were written, citizens had the same weapons as the regular army. Citizens should be armed to protect against a tyrannical gov´t..water pistols wouldn´t work.

Why would anyone oppose universal background checks? When the intent is not ´background checks´ but to be able to locate every single gun in the U.S. If they know exactly who has what, it is much easier to confiscate them. That´s the real intent of the government. To get the background check, you have to tell them the buyer´s name, address, SSN, type of gun & serial number. You think all of that is ´forgotten´ by the checker? If so, you live in a very simple universe.

How about someone in the WH Press Pool pose this question: "Mr. President, between 2006 and 2012, the average number killed resulting from gun violence was 114 children. Would you like to comment on the over one million children who were killed last year as a result of abortions?" Any WH Press reporter who asks that question will never report on the WH again, but that individual will forever be remembered for standing up to this absolute empty suit, lying poor excuse for a human being who thinks he´s the government who rules all, including peoples´ religious beliefs.

I can´t speak for Olivia Harrison, George´s wife but I wonder if she wished her and George had a gun when they were broken into in England. In the early 90´s a crazed guy with a knife entered George´s home and stabbed him repeatedly as Olivia hit the intruder with whatever she could get her hands on. By law if the did have a gun and shot the guy, they would be the ones in trouble. That´s where we´re headed.

Apparently 0bama´s warped arguments against the Constitution & Bill of Rights isn´t winning the debate regarding the Second Amendment nor any of the rest of Liberty´s Constitutional principles. Whenever the statist dem pols can´t flim/flan the American people, they ALWAYS resort to using children as their tools of choice! Aided & abetted by the dems´ lsm, 0bama´s shameless use of children as his political pawns continues. ...How many times can he get away with this redundant con? How dispicable.

Parents who allow their children to be used as political show ponies are unfit for the role. If your ideas require props then they are not strong ideas to begin with.
#17 provides some levity in the mischaracterization of the NRA and gun owners´ positions as well as a misstatement of what the president and his star chamber intend. Hint: legislation i.e. proper law-making isn´t a part of it.
These background check loopholes simply don´t exist but they seem to be a bottomless honey trap for people who want to sound intelligent about the subject.
#17, if you are going to be that dense about the Second Amendment´s purpose and context, do yourself a favor and quit while you´re behind.
It´s not complicated. The Bill of Rights is devoted to protecting the individual from government. Only the gullible believe that the Framers would write down the First Amendment, veer off towards conscription for national defense in the Second, then return to individual rights for the rest of the document. No, the Second is about resistance against tyranny just as the Fifth, Fourth and others are. Parsing its language is a diversionary tactic, nothing more.

#17 is wrong of course. The 2nd ammendment is there to defend against tyranny. It´s purpose is to intimidate government. Accodding to James Madison the "Militia" mentioned in the 2nd ammendment is the "people" as a whole. The 2nd amendment is there to defend all the other ammendments and the constitution itself. Once Barry Soetoro was allowed to get away with his ineligibility the socialists knew they could do anything they want. a.k.a. tyranny. I hope and pray it doesn´t happen but we could very well be headed for civil war.

But after her work on Fast & Furious and Benghazi, she is now reporting that she´s been shut out of the information loop by the White House. Attkisson was one of the few members of the progressive media establishment interested in covering the Fast & Furious scandal, as well as the Benghazi.

Most of us interact with the Internal Revenue Service once a year at tax time. But President Obama´s Affordable Care Act health law puts us under the IRS´s thumb all the time. The IRS has a history of using leaks and delays to punish people based on their politics. The latest is news that the IRS delayed processing requests for tax exempt status from the Obama administration’s conservative critics, and even leaked information about them to the press. It’s frightening, because starting in January 2014, the Obama health care law vastly expands

Virginia Republicans have chosen have conservative minister E.W. Jackson as the nominee for lieutenant governor — making him, according to the Associated Press, the first black candidate the party has nominated for statewide office since 1988. In the past, it appears Jackson has made some charged remarks about President Obama. As BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski noted, Jackson is the man behind STAND America PAC, which aims to “recruit and support conservative black candidates to run against liberals in Congressional Black Caucus districts.” Jackson also ran a blog where he wrote about Obama’s “Muslim perspective” toward the world and Israel.

There will be an event on Capitol Hill this week that will tell us a lot about the future of comprehensive immigration reform. On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the Senate Gang of Eight reform proposal. It doesn’t have any great official purpose; the Gang bill hasn’t even made it through the Senate Judiciary Committee, much less the full Senate, and is not before the House. So the House committee meeting will be all talk. But the session could tell us a lot about whether House Republicans will be able to

Benghazi. The IRS targeting the Tea Party. Feds snooping on the Associated Press. These dizzying controversies around the Obama administration all carry the same lesson: Watch what you say. On Benghazi, set aside for a moment the dust-ups over State Department officials changing talking points, White House officials misleading the media, and congressional Republicans misrepresenting administration emails. Go back to what the administration was saying just after the deadly Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on the U.S. diplomatic facility. Many administration officials -- although they may have known better -- blamed the attack, and thus the death of four Americans,

President Barack Obama has an important new ally as emboldened Republicans work to derail his agenda: John McCain. The shift is striking: The 2008 rivals never got along throughout Obama’s first term in office. McCain has been Obama’s chief tormentor on issues ranging from the budget to Benghazi, tartly saying in late 2010 that the two men had “no relationship.” Yet during one of Obama’s toughest times as president, there was McCain, sitting down last week with him in the Oval Office for a private strategy session. At the urging of new White House chief of

The organizers of Tea Party Patriots have called for a nationwide protest against the Internal Revenue Service to challenge the government agency’s abuse of power while targeting Tea Party groups. The planned protests will take place at IRS offices around the country at noon on Tuesday. The Tea Party Patriots website highlights over 100 IRS offices where protests are planned. Although many Tea Party groups exist, the Tea Party Patriots is one of the most influential coalitions with over 3,000 organized chapters. The organization is sending out protest information, talking points, sample press releases, and sample sign messages,

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses. Every one of you has a grandma or an uncle or a parent whose told you at some point in life

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) concerning the Internal Revenue Service scandal Sunday (video follows with transcript and commentary):CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: Moving on to the IRS problem at this moment, which is really sort of in its infancy. There will be lots more hearings coming up this week
