Obama Blames Everyone But The Gunman For The Oregon Community College Shooting

After Chris Harper-Mercer killed at least 9 people and wounded 7 others at an Oregon community college on Thursday, Obama gave a brief angry response. He blamed guns, the NRA, Congress, and even us for not demanding our 2nd Amendment rights be taken away. But you know who he didn’t blame? The bleep that actually did the killing. Weird, huh?
This is the only time Obama references Harper-Mercer and he completely excuses the killer’s horrific actions:
“We don’t yet know why this individual did what he did. And it’s fair to say that anybody who does this has a sickness in their minds, regardless of what they think their motivations may be.”
Since the killer was obviously mentally ill and can’t be held responsible for his actions, here’s where Obama feels the blame belongs:
“And what’s become routine, of course, is the response of those who oppose any kind of common-sense gun legislation. Right now, I can imagine the press releases being cranked out: We need more guns, they’ll argue. Fewer gun safety laws.”
Clearly that was a jab at Wanye LaPierre and the NRA. He would double down on his attack on the NRA, but he’s apparently too afraid to actually utter the organization’s name:
“And I would particularly ask America’s gun owners — who are using those guns properly, safely, to hunt, for sport, for protecting their families — to think about whether your views are properly being represented by the organization that suggests it’s speaking for you.”
Then he blames Congress for not bowing to his whacko gun control agenda:
“And this is not something I can do by myself. I’ve got to have a Congress and I’ve got to have state legislatures and governors who are willing to work with me on this.”
And finally he blames all of us for not surrendering our constitutionally protected rights:
“This is a political choice that we make to allow this to happen every few months in America. We collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones because of our inaction.”
He really wants us to feel responsible for the shooting and to give up our gun rights:
“I’d ask the American people to think about how they can get our government to change these laws, and to save lives, and to let young people grow up. And that will require a change of politics on this issue. And it will require that the American people, individually, whether you are a Democrat or a Republican or an independent, when you decide to vote for somebody, are making a determination as to whether this cause of continuing death for innocent people should be a relevant factor in your decision.”
This entire speech was a big gun control push and had very little to do with the actual victims of the shooting. Obama is so shameless he doesn’t even pretend to give a shit any more. It’s all about exploiting a tragedy to shove his agenda down our throats:
“And, of course, what’s also routine is that somebody, somewhere will comment and say, Obama politicized this issue. Well, this is something we should politicize.”
It’s pretty amazing that Obama managed to blame this shooting on every single American except the one guy that actually did the killing. The NRA didn’t shoot anyone. Congress, even the angry lefty radicals, didn’t pull the trigger. You and I had absolutely nothing to do with this. Chris Harper-Mercer committed these atrocious acts of violence and he alone bears the responsibility for what he did.
