How despicable of this guy.

Sick country in which there are no common sense limitations on ammo or guns.
what did he say?
In the U.S. this year, the average # of mass shootings per day is more than 1. I think the total is 294 in 9 months.

Are there any gun crimes in Chicago?

He gave perfunctory statement about victims then spent rest of time whining how Congress blocks gun laws and other stuff. He said it was an inconvenience to him to have to speak again after a shooting.

Repubs can't handle the truth!
Why does Congress feel inaction is the best way to minimize future mass shootings? Are we to believe there aren't the most marginal, small potato legislative options available to reduce the volume and frequency of these shootings? I mean, nobody even wants to review the available studies or research as to what causes this madness and the most effective ways to minimize it?
It is in the libs best interest not to pass gun laws. Passing gun laws would have no effect (see Washington, DC), and then they wouldn't be able to complain about the issue any more. The issue is more valuable than the solution.
"America will wrap everyone who's grieving with our prayers and our love," Obama said. "But as I said, just a few months ago, and I said a few months before that, and I said each time we see one of these mass shootings, our thoughts and prayers are not enough. It's not enough. It does not capture the heartache and grief and anger that we should feel. And it does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inflicted someplace else in America."
"When Americans are killed in mine disasters, we work to make mines safer. When Americans are killed in floods and hurricanes, we work to make communities safer. When roads are unsafe, we fix them. To reduce auto fatalities, we have seat belt laws because we know it saves lives," Obama said.
"So the notion that gun violence is somehow different, that our freedom and our Constitution prohibits any modest regulation of how we use a deadly weapon, when there are law-abiding gun owners across the country who could hunt and protect their families and do everything they do under such regulations. Doesn't make sense."
"Somebody somewhere will comment and say, Obama politicized this issue," the President said. "Well this is something we should politicize. It is relevant to our common life together, to the body politic."
Except that your assertion runs counter to the very topic of this thread.
....the POTUS is surrounded by people with GUNS. A lot of guns.
Because POTUS is not a random 19 y.o. kid on a college campus?
Nevermind the fact that this young man was likely really depressed. He's looking at a country that is essentially falling to pieces. He's looking at a future devoid of opportunity. He has no community, probably lacks a support system. Let's pretend the problem is that he has access to guns. The problem is the plastic culture of the American mainstream who clowns like Obama have essentially created with all their secular deconstructionist nonsense. The problem is people like him who think that the ends justify the means. That if only we control people enough and get them all to think "properly" then we will have a utopia. They don't realize that at the heart of all human discord is precisely the thought process they are engaging in. Existential tribalism is what these powerful people are exhibiting, they are just doing it in a modern way that is unrecognizable to most as the same sort of power-mongering that has always plagued human history. The immense importance of Jesus is totally lost on these folks, they completely fail to grasp that we would never have had civilization as we know it without Jesus having lit the fire of true collectivism all those centuries ago. It is sad watching the true christian faith being, not so gradually anymore, pushed out of corridors of power in America. The christianity of the Tea party and the like is every bit as shallow and depraved as the secularism of those like Obama who genuinely believe that ignorance is bliss for us common folk.

...because guns stop, kill, and deter a$$holes!
The POTUS gets that fact despite his rhetoric.
It is not politicizing it, it is the reason. The NRA is responsible for more deaths than ISIS. The NRA is the biggest terrorist organization in the world.

How many gun murders in Chicago last year. The NRA is responsible? Those are black thugs with ill-gotten guns!!!
Gun control is a political issue.
Never mind…just keep buying guns, don't talk about it, it's our god given right
The gunman was either Atheist or Muslim according to the NY POST. He was targeting Christian by standing them up and asking them their religion followed by shooting the Christians in the head and the others in the legs.

That can't be. Anti-Christian sentiments don't exist in the US, they are too privileged.
