Obama Orders Flags At Half-Staff After Oregon Shooting; Waited Five Days After The Chattanooga Recruiting Station Shooting…

Politicizing the Oregon shooting. Update to this story.

Via The Hill:

President Obama is ordering flags on public buildings and grounds to be flown at half-staff until Tuesday following the deadly mass shooting at a community college in Oregon.

American flags will be lowered at the White House and public buildings and military installations across the country as well as at U.S. embassies and posts abroad.

Obama delivered his proclamation shortly after he finished a press conference at the White House where he discussed the school shooting for the second time in two days.

“The politics has to change,” Obama told reporters, saying he would continue talking about gun control measures for the remainder of his term.

His presidential proclamation is intended as “a mark of respect for the victims of gun violence perpetrated” Thursday at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore.

Obama first responded to the Oregon shooting that left nine people dead, along with the lone gunman, and several more injured, during a press conference on Thursday evening.

“This is a political choice that we make, to allow this to happen every few months in America,” a visibly angry Obama said then. “We collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones because of our inaction.”

Many Republicans have pushed back on calls for new gun measures in the wake of the shooting, while Democrats called for an end to the “carnage” of mass shootings.

Obama last ordered flags to fly at half-staff at the White House and other federal buildings following a July shooting that left five U.S. services members dead in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Obama’s proclamation came shortly after the names of the shooting victims were released by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. The victims ranged in age from 18-67.

Gun Grabbers Ignore Terrorism in Chattanooga, Go For Guns Instead

Independent Sentinel

The terrorist attack in Chattanooga which ended in the deaths of five Marines and Sailors had nothing to do with guns and everything to do with an ideology. Despite this, the media is searching for a motive, the terrorist’s parents are claiming he killed soldiers because he was depressed, and Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown is spending in the six-figures to buy ads promoting more gun control.

It’s like living in an alternative universe.

Military personnel were banned from carrying weapons in military installations before we had terror attacks. That directive is no longer appropriate if it was ever appropriate and it needs to be changed, but the Pentagon, the head of the US Northern Command specifically, issued a directive Monday stating that recruiters cannot carry weapons at the centers but he wants them to implement new security measures like “closing the blinds at the office.”

Are they bulletproof blinds? That will be as effective as the gun-free zone sign on the recruiting office where our soldiers died.

How do you say ‘Second Amendment’ in French?

Paris and another mass murder in a gun-free zone.  Another incident where well-armed criminals shot at people who could only scream and watch their colleagues gunned down without mercy.

Wonder if anyone in that Paris building wished he or she had a gun to shoot back.  I’m not saying that a couple of concealed weapons would have stopped well-armed terrorists, but it could have bought a little time before the police got there.

I know that many Europeans call this “a cowboy crossfire.”  Tell that to the families of the dead – all dead because guys with guns shot innocent unarmed people working in their office.

Like other countries, France has very restrictive gun laws, as David Crodea reported:

Obama Is Responsible for Latest Fort Hood Murders – Still a Gun-Free Zone

Gateway Pundit

In 2009 Islamist killer Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army major and psychiatrist, fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 others at Fort Hood Texas.
Fort Hood was a gun-free zone.

Hasan reportedly screamed, “Allahu Akbar!” as he committed his mass murder.

Barack Obama termed this Islamic terrorist attack – workplace violence.
Complete lunacy.

After the first mass killing nothing changed. Fort Hood is still a gun-free zone. President Bill Clinton’s gun-free policies are still in place.

Today there was another mass shooting at Fort Hood.
Soldiers were told to take cover and hide like cowards as a crazed gunman shot at least 14 Americans on base.
The shooter, Ivan Lopez, then shot himself in the head.

These deaths are the result of failed policies.
These deaths are the result of a dangerous “gun free zone” policy.

The Obama administration is responsible for this mass shooting.
They witnessed this before. They didn’t learn a thing.
Gun free zones are death zones.

It’s time to stand up to the lunacy.

Killing Sprees Stopped by Right to Bear Arms

Moonbattery

In case anyone is wondering why every single mass shooting to occur in the USA since at least 1950 (with the sole exception of the Jared Loughner shootings) took place in a gun-free zone, here are a few examples of what happens when maniacs attempt to open fire where law-abiding citizens are also armed:

The Pearl High School shooting

The Parker Middle School dance shooting

The Appalachian School of Law shooting

The New Life Church shooting

The Trolley Square shooting

The Golden Market shooting

The New York Mills AT&T store shooting

The Clackamas Town Center shooting

The San Antonio Theater shooting

Those who still support the gun-grabbers after reading the details belong under psychiatric observation.
