Barack Obama Unveils $500 Million Gun Violence Package Including Putting 1,000 Police Officers in Schools … I Thought the LEFT Scoffed at Police in Schools Suggested by the NRA?

TALK ABOUT LOST IN SMALLNESS … OBAMA UNVEILS $500 Million GUN VIOLENCE PACKAGE AND PLANS TO PUT 1000 POLICE OFFICERS IN SCHOOLS.

Today President Barack Obama unveiled a $500 million gun violence plan that included plans to put 1000 police officers in schools. Ok, three things come to mind here that are quite telling and somewhat interesting with regards to Obama’s anti-2nd Amendment agenda in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary school shootings. He also proposed his 23 executive orders that in retrospect looked rather weak and lame.

500 million dollars!!!

One, $500 million, that’s it? Barack Obama throws billions around like its water. Obama gave failed green energy companies Solyndra $535 million, Fisker Automotive $529 million, Abound Solar $400 million, Willard and Kelsey Solar Group $700,981, let alone the rest of the green energy boondoggle failures. Yet, when it comes to the safety of the children Obama can only muster a measly $500 million. WOW, how big of him. The above referenced failed companies were provided over $2 billion of tax payer dollars, yet he comes up with $500 million for the children’s safety. NICE!

Two, 1000 police officers? That’s it? How small can this president be? As of 2010,  from the National Center for Educational Statistics there were a reported approximate 98,000 schools in the United States of which 67,000 were elementary schools. To put this in its proper perspective, 1000 police officers represents 1% of all schools and 1.5% of elementary schools. Really Mr. President, that’s your plan to keep the children safe from gun violence like what occurred at Sandy Hook, placing police in 1% of schools in America?  “We the People” can you understand now why I say that Obama is not serious at all?

Three, how is it that Obama is putting any police officers in schools after NBC’s David Gregory and the collective LEFT mocked the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre for proposing that armed guards be at every school in America. The LEFT lost their collective minds when this was suggested, yet Obama considered it, well kinda. So instead Obama split the difference and suggested putting police officers in 1% of the schools. Meanwhile his children are well protected by armed men with guns. No one is saying that Obama’s children should not be protected, of course they should. However, they are no more important than other American parents children. How is it that “We the People’s” children are not deemed worthy of protection as well?

Braced for a fight, President Barack Obama on Wednesday unveiled the most sweeping proposals for curbing gun violence in two decades, pressing a reluctant Congress to pass universal background checks and bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.

But the president, speaking at White House ceremony, focused his attention on the divided Congress, saying only lawmakers could enact the most effective measures for preventing more mass shootings.

“To make a real and lasting difference, Congress must act,” Obama said. “And Congress must act soon.”

The president vowed to use “whatever weight this office holds” to press lawmakers into action on his $500 million plan. He is also calling for improvements in school safety, including putting 1,000 police officers in schools and bolstering mental health care by training more health professionals to deal with young people who may be at risk.

Even supportive lawmakers say the president’s gun control proposals – most of which are opposed by the powerful National Rifle Association – face long odds on Capitol Hill.

Following Biden/White House Meeting: NRA Blasts Biden For Assault on Second Amendment, Treating Law Abiding Citizens Like Criminals

What a sad and pathetic joke, the Obama administration is not concerned with protecting children, they care about assaulting the 2nd Amendment.

The meeting between the NRA, the National Rifle Association, and Sheriff Joe Biden turned out to be what we thought it would be, a check in the box for the Obama Administration to say, see we spoke with them. Even though Biden/Obama has such an anti-gun view that most likely all NRA’s words fell on deaf ears. Following the White House meeting with Vice President Joe Biden, the NRA blasted the Obama Administration for its assault on the Second Amendment. Once again the violence is about the gun and not about the whacko who uses it.

The NRA said in a common sense written statement, “We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen.” What a radical approach, that the criminal be treated differently than the law abiding citizen.

From FOX News:

The National Rifle Association emerged from a meeting Thursday with Vice President Biden and accused his gun violence task force of leading an “attack” on the Second Amendment – just hours after Biden gave a glimpse into the gun-control recommendations expected to hit the president’s desk in a matter of days.

But the NRA, after sitting down with Biden and other firearms groups Thursday afternoon, blasted the effort as primarily focused on restricting gun rights.

“We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment,” the group said in a written statement. “While claiming that no policy proposals would be ‘prejudged,’ this Task Force spent most of its time on proposed restrictions on lawful firearms owners — honest, taxpaying, hardworking Americans.

“It is unfortunate that this administration continues to insist on pushing failed solutions to our nation’s most pressing problems. We will not allow law-abiding gun owner.

Is it any wonder why the NRA’s membership has soared as the most liberal President ever has threatened the gun control via “executive order”in a direct assault against the US Constitution and the 2nd Amendment.

NRA Ranks Swell After Sandy Hook Elementary School/Newtown, CT Massacre

In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, CT, the NRA’s ranks have increased by in great numbers. As reported at the Politico, the National Rifle Association has gained more than 100,000 new members in the last 18 days. Is it any wonder why the pro-gun rights group is seeing their membership rise dramatically as President Obama through his surrogate, Sheriff Joe, has threatened to bypass the Congress and US Constitution to grab the guns by executive order. Americans are concerned about protecting children from gun violence; however, simply banning guns and a gun grab is hardly the answer. However, it is the objective of an exploitative Democrat party who wants to harm people’s rights and the 2nd Amendment.

The National Rifle Association has gained more than 100,000 new members in the past 18 days, the organization told POLITICO’s Playbook on Thursday.

The number of paid new members jumped from 4.1 million to 4.2 million during that time.

“Our goal is to get to 5 million before this debate is over,” the NRA told POLITICO’s Mike Allen.

Those comments come as Vice President Joe Biden gears up to meet with NRA representatives Thursday to discuss gun policy after the Dec. 14 mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., prompted a national conversation on the subject.

The NRA met with Joe Biden and the gun violence task force yesterday so that Sheriff Joe could get a check in the box for meeting with pro gun groups.

Gallup: NRA Has 54% Favorable Image in United States, Only 38% Unfavorable

Before Barack Obama and the rest of the anti-Second Amendment right, anti-gun Democrats over-reach and attempt to exploit the horrendous actions of a crazed, lone, insaneoid gunman Adam Lanza who murdered his mother and then went on a shooting rampage at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT killing 26, including 20 children … they may want to take a look at how Americans feel about those who Democrats and the MSM want to demonize. According to a recent Gallup Poll, 54% of Americans have a favorable image of the NRA, while only 38% have an unfavorable one. This even after the liberal MSM has tried to smear the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre for his press conference comments and ’Meet the Press’ interview asking to protect children by arming individuals in the schools.

The NRA’s positions on guns and gun control legislation have received significant attention from media and politicians during the last week after the association’s top lobbyist, Wayne LaPierre, held a press conference in the wake of the Newtown school shooting. LaPierre denounced the idea of additional gun control legislation and instead called for armed guards in the nation’s schools. The press conference came midway through the field period of this Dec. 19-22 USA Today/Gallup poll.

Other polls have shown that Americans place gun control only fourth on the list for protecting children, following police presence in schools, greater focus on mental health screening and decreasing gun violence in movies, TV and video games.

Liberal Hypocrisy … NBC’s David Gregory Mocks NRA’s LaPierre for Proposing Armed Guards in Schools, Yet He Sends His Kids to High Security School (Update: Obama’s Daughters Have 11 Armed Guards at Their School)

Once again we are presented with liberal hypocrisy and the double standard. What is good for them, is not the same that “We the People” are allowed.

As reported that The Weekly Standard, me thinks David Gregory dost protest too much. Actually, me thinks David Gregory is two-faced.

Following the tragic mass murders at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT that saw 26 murdered, including 20 children and six adults, NBC’s Davis Gregory went on an anti-Second Amendment gun rant mocking the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre for his proposing that armed guards be put in schools for the children’s protection. As LaPierre has stated, “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.” Gregory, the ‘Meet the Press’ host went on to rail that armed guards might not be effective in preventing mass murders at school.

David Gregory mocked the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre for proposing that armed guards be at every school in America. But the NBC host seems to have no problem with armed guards protecting his kids everyday where they attend school in Washington, D.C.

“You proposed armed guards in school. We’ll talk about that in some detail in a moment. You confronted the news media. You blamed Hollywood and the gaming industry. But never once did you concede that guns could actually be part of the problem. Is that a meaningful contribution, Mr. LaPierre, or a dodge?,” asked Gregory.

Later the host suggested that guns don’t prevent violence in schools (he cited the mass shootings at Columbine and Virginia Tech). “But you would concede that, as good as an idea as you think this is, it may not work. Because there have been cases where armed guards have not prevented this kind of massacre, this kind of carnage. I want you would concede that point, wouldn’t you?,” Gregory pleaded.

The NBC host would go on the rest of the segment to suggest that armed guards might not be effective in preventing mass murders at school.

But wait, when it comes to his own children it is a different story.  As it turns out, Gregory not only send his children to a school with armed security guards, he also benefits from the fact that Barack Obama’s children attend the same school and thus Secret Service is present as well. That is correct, the school that Gregory and Obama send their children to has 11 armed security guards for their protection, but some how putting armed guards, police, etc. in other schools s labeled crazy by the Left and the liberal, corrupt media complex.

The Gregory children go to school with the children of President Barack Obama, according to the Washington Post. That school is the co-ed Quaker school Sidwell Friends.

According to a scan of the school’s online faculty-staff directory, Sidwell has a security department made up of at least 11 people. Many of those are police officers, who are presumably armed.

Moreover, with the Obama kids in attendance, there is a secret service presence at the institution, as well.

So why is it perfectly OK for it to have armed security and police in schools of the privileged like David Gregory and Barack Obama, but not that to protect the children of “We the People”? Hmm?
