Obama Suggests US Needs Ban On Semiautomatic, Automatic Weapons

President Barack Obama Tuesday suggested that the U.S. government should follow Australia’s example in dealing with shooting sprees, which involved strict gun bans on semiautomatic and automatic weapons.

“Australia had a mass shooting [in 1996] similar to Columbine and Newtown, and just said, ‘That’s it, we’re not seeing that again,’ and basically imposed very severe tough gun laws and they haven’t had a mass shooting since,” Obama said, after he was asked for his reaction to recent shooting episodes in California and Oregon. Those laws included the confiscation of nearly all handguns and rifles.

“We can have respect for the Second Amendment and responsible hunters and sportsmen can have possess weapons,” Obama told an audience of students during a broadcast on the Tumblr website.

But the country needs “commonsense rules in place that make a dent in what’s happening,” he said, after an emotional appeal to the students and young people who were watching the Tumblr broadcast, which was advertised as a question-and-answer session about student debt.

Australia also instituted a gun buy-back program and a national registery and licensing system in the wake of the April 1996 mass shooting.

Obama’s statement is likely to cause heartburn for Democratic candidates in Kentucky, Louisiana, Arkansas and other states where gun rights are valued.

But it may also spur turnout among young Democratic voters, who are demoralized by the lousy Obama economy.

Obama’s comments on guns came after the host asked him about the recent shootings, and Obama replied with an unusually emotional pitch.

Australia basically banned guns, but I don't think it was a constitutional right or they changed their constitution. You should have been here during the Booyah wars, Mr. Australia himself.

Oh, and the gun death rate actually went up for the first few years after the ban if memory serves me correct, the it came done.

I thought he went to Harvard Law School. He must have slept through the part about how the Supreme Court has the final say on the constitutionality of laws.

I'm thinking that "Barry" slept thru many of his law classes, as well as those law review meetings when he was the editor... History repeats, now he routinely skips the NSA briefings...

Gun sales always go up when Obama talks about banning them..

just like his immigration policy has now seemingly caused a massive influx of children across the border...

Obliviously For a guy that ran on "GWB has put to much power in the executive branch rhetoric" he sure gets an F- in that department.

AND him going public and making such an complete moronic statement, is exactly why the NRA and gun owners go the the mat immediately. I said it in the other thread, when your opening shot is complete lunacy the debate is over before it starts.

He just said what his ultimate goal is, so now why would any gun owner let him take any step in that direction.

All to all you Anti-Gun people who say, Gun nutters are a bunch of scared extremist that think the government wants the guns of law abiding citizens.

Well there you have it

I bet guns and ammo will be in short supply again in a very short time

So if I understand, Obama advocates total gun control like Australia, but many Cabinet agencies are stocking up like WW2 is about to break out.

But anyone who might want a gun to protect themselves from the Govt is RWNJ

Got it -Lib Logic

Yep, just like they were after Sandy Hook. He probably created another feeding frenzy. In Australia most were submissive and gave up their guns. I just don't see that happening here. Colt, Smith and Wesson, etc will be running 3 shifts a day, 7 days a week to keep up with the demand. At least he did stimulate American manufacturing, so that is a plus. Ban poodles!!

A decision was made a long time ago to stop locking up crazy people and just let them walk around and depend on themselves to regulate their medications.....less costs and what could happen after all? Mass shootings The experiment to allow crazy people to have freedom should be recognized as a failure and end.

If the direction Obama is going with all his executive orders continues - guns will be more important than ever. They are the only thing standing between staying a Republic or becoming China. God Bless Guns. God Bless the founding fathers. What foresight.

Wasn't the economy bubble supposed to burst? What happened man, I thought you had it figured out.

I am sure that every day the President of the United States of America gets out of bed and thinks of something he can do or say just to upset half a dozen of the same people here on VJ. You gotta give it to him! Well done Mr. President!
