Obama on D.C Murders - Gun Control

The White House: President Obama on the murders at the Washington Navy Yard, " Before I begin, let me say a few words about the tragedy that's unfolding not far away from here at the Washington Navy Yard.  That's part of why our event today was delayed.

I’ve been briefed by my team on the situation.  We still don’t know all the facts, but we do know that several people have been shot, and some have been killed.  So we are confronting yet another mass shooting -- and today, it happened on a military installation in our nation’s capital. 

It’s a shooting that targeted our military and civilian personnel.  These are men and women who were going to work, doing their job, protecting all of us. They’re patriots, and they know the dangers of serving abroad -- but today, they faced unimaginable violence that they wouldn't have expected here at home. 

So we offer our gratitude to the Navy and local law enforcement, federal authorities, and the doctors who’ve responded with skill and bravery.  I’ve made it clear to my team that I want the investigation to be seamless, so that federal and local authorities are working together.  And as this investigation moves forward, we will do everything in our power to make sure whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible.   

In the meantime, we send our thoughts and prayers to all at the Navy Yard who’ve been touched by this tragedy.  We thank them for their service.  We stand with the families of those who’ve been harmed.  They’re going to need our love and support.  And as we learn more about the courageous Americans who died today -- their lives, their families, their patriotism -- we will honor their service to the nation they helped to make great.  And obviously, we're going to be investigating thoroughly what happened, as we do so many of these shootings, sadly, that have happened, and do everything that we can to try to prevent them. ".

Lets Get Real:

Folks even on this very sad day, our thoughts are with the families of those that have lost loved ones, this blog will look at the political implications, if this is a domestic criminal case, and the issue is how the suspects got guns then the Oval should push for extreme gun control, if the Oval can not get the issue off the floor with this kind of case then it NEVER will folks.    On the other hand if the FBI find its a terrorist case, the third after, Libya, Boston the Oval has a problem, it would show that the slogan of the 2012 Obama Campaign, that OBL was dead and that Al Qaeda was finished was a false and miss leading claim, the Republicans would make sure that the issue would never go away, that is Chicago politics at its worse folks.   Lets see what the FBI finds folks.
