President Obama is really fed up with the recent acts of violence that has been going on throughout the world. He lashed out upon hearing about the Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado. He says “enough is enough.”
Obama believes that we should have tighter gun controls. He expresses how tired he is of this and wants it to stop.
“If we truly care about this — if we’re going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience — then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them. Period. Enough is enough.”
Robert Deer is identified as the shooter. He was taken into custody after the shoot out with police which lasted five hours. As of right now, police have no motive.
Obama says,
“The last thing Americans should have to do, over the holidays or any day, is comfort the families of people killed by gun violence — people who woke up in the morning and bid their loved ones goodbye with no idea it would be for the last time. And yet, two days after Thanksgiving, that’s what we are forced to do again.”
Obama commended Officer Garrett Swasey on helping save lives during the shootout. He also says we can not let this become a normal thing.
He says,
“This is not normal. We can’t let it become normal.”
Obama has said recently said we have all become “numb” to all this.
“Somehow, this has become routine. The reporting is routine. My response here at this podium ends up being routine. We become numb to this.”
