WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is announcing a $500 million package of executive actions and legislative proposals aimed at reducing gun violence a month after a mass shooting in Connecticut killed 20 elementary school children.
The package includes a call on Congress to ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazine and it would close loopholes in the gun sale background check system.
Obama also is signing 23 executive actions - "which require no congressional approval" - including several aimed at improving access to data for background checks. A presidential memorandum will instruct the Centers for Disease Control to research causes and prevention of gun violence
Also.. What does the bible have to do with the United States government? I believe there is a separation of church and state laws.
A great man said the following:
"We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are, and must remain, separate.
All are free to believe or not believe, all are free to practice a faith or not, and those who believe are free, and should be free, to to speak of and act on their belief.
At the same time that our Constitution prohibits state establishment of religion, it protects the free exercise of all religions. And walking this fine line requires government to be strictly neutral."
Ronald Reagan
Tom, Jesus was a man of peace! Do you really think he would approve of Guns and murdering your fellow man? Or do you hate Obama so much, You try to justify that hate by using your religion?
Whats your point? And your quoiting the Bible when it come to guns!

"Tom, Jesus was a man of peace! Do you really think he would approve of Guns and murdering your fellow man?"
>>> Immediately upon taking up his office as 5th Prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, Pontius Pilate issued an edict banning weapons possession by residents there.
>>> We can only image if Jesus & the Disciples had been packing assault weapons during the Last Supper whether he would have been taken so easily by the Sanhedrin and then crucified.
>>> If The Passion of Christ has involved a serious shoot out up their on Golgotha, The New Testament might have had a totally different narrative....
