Obama returns to efforts
to ban 'assault' weapons
June 18th, 2016. FoxNews.com
President Obama on Saturday renewed his call to ban so-called assault weapons, in the aftermath of the Florida nightclub shooting and other recent terror attacks on U.S. soil.
"Being tough on terrorism -- particularly the sorts of homegrown terrorism that we've seen now in Orlando and San Bernardino -- means making it harder for people who want to kill Americans to get their hands on assault weapons that are capable of killing dozens of innocents as quickly as possible," Obama said in his weekly radio address. "That's something I'll continue to talk about in the weeks ahead."
The president stayed silent on the assault-weapon issue in public remarks immediately after the attack early Sunday at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., in which 49 people were killed and dozens more were wounded.
However, he returned to the ban issued Tuesday in a fiery speech in which he also defended his decision not to use the term "radical Islam" when referring to Islamic terrorists. ..... 
We have again seen the petulent rhetoric, which is basically using the Orlando tragedy as another fine excuse to further the efforts against the Second Amendment. All commentators with any grain of common sense, know full well that punishing the majority will do nothing to prevent the felonious minority from achieving their ends. Emotion always seems to win over rational thinking, but attempts to achieve further 'gun-control' continue unabated - no surprise there.
