Obamas frustration över vapenlagarna
Som många möjligen förstått av mina blogginlägg om USA:s vapenlagar, så är de för mig något av de mest negativa med detta land. Demokraternas försök att åtminstone skärpa bakgrundskontrollen av dem som söker vapenlicens, stoppades i kongressen. I en av de intervjuer med Obama som jag läste i går sa han sig ”skämmas”. Nedan finns ytterliga några av hans uttalanden i frågan.
President Barack Obama said Tuesday that it was “stunning to me” that Congress did not take real action to tighten gun laws following the late 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
“My biggest frustration so far is that this society has not been willing to take some basic steps to keep guns out of the hands of people who can do just unbelievable damage,” Obama said during a question-and-answer session hosted by microblogging platform Tumblr that came hours after a school shooting in Oregon.
Mass shootings have become run of the mill, he said. The United States is “the only developed country on earth where this happens and it happens now once a week, and it’s a one-day story.”
