I watched the mess - the debate after is interesting.
What I think I saw.
Lots of refenses to, Hunting - Airbags - Seatbelts
> Obamas stratagy = Make firearms purchase harder and more expensive, thus reducing peoples ability to purchase said firearms.
> New town was terrible, reduce the lethality of available firearms
> Create a safer environment - whatever that means
> Father Mike from Chicago says we need to title firearms the same as we do automobiles
Obama says we cannot do that at this time. What we can and should do is smart guns.
Which are blocked by the NRA who is funded by firearm manufacturers.
> The ATF is your friend - They want to help you
> Gabby Gifford - Expanded background checks are good. Even if it leads to a registry, The government could never confiscate all the firearms.
> The NRA has a strangle hold on congress, that is stopping progress.
> Summery - He answered none of the questions - Kept saying nothing he proposes will do anything to reduce violence, But, We need to do something to get the ball rolling.
