Here’s the emotional statement from the president just a few moments ago:

As JedediahBila reminds us Obama is a father:

Here’s the “hint” portion of the statement:

As a country we have been through this too many times, whether it’s been an elementary school in Newtown, a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago, these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods and these children are our children. We’re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics.

Sounds like new gun control laws to me.

Piers Morgan has already jumped out and charged the president that new gun control laws are needed:

And here we go again.

Gun Control is not the issue here. If we had universal healthcare that paid for mental healthcare, these kinds of things would happen much less. Stop being greedy and value life of the dollar.

1> Citizens have arms. Slaves do not. What's so mysterious about that?

2> For the military historians out there: I'm surprised all US military, police, and federal agency weapons don't have a little arugula leaf stamped on them by now.

Time to "Milk A Crisis". Hasn't this administration been doing it for almost 4 years already. And yes colliemum, I agree with you. I couldn't see one Real Tear myself but a lot of "Superb Acting" with hand wiping. Notice this "Blue State" makes sure the Teachers receive there "High Pensions" and "Great Packages" before they take advantage of better "Security" measures for the little "Tikes" we just lost. Remember Teachers and Union decisions come "First", children second. How many years did they have to take "Security Measures" and enforce Stricter rules, over 10, maybe more. But no, this Blue State feels there above that. Gotta keep "Dem Teachers Happy". In this case, it's the Children I feel for and who never had a chance to live out there lives not the Teachers who are nothing but Greedy Individuals who never stop wanting along with there Unions. I'm disgusted with these so called "Adults". Technically neither the Police or the Teachers were able to do anything to stop any of this. Only Adam Lanza had the power to solve this problem and eventually he did by ending his own "Confused" life. I think the Connecticut Schools are a little late on the draw as far as "Security" goes. Yes Adam Lanza carried the Guns, but in the end it was the School Districts Fault for not placing into action the proper Security Measures and what does the School District consist of, "Adults", many many poor "Excuses Of Adults". May these Children that fell between the "Cracks Of Adult Minds" "Rest In Peace" and I sincerely mean that. Welcome to America 2012

It seems Mr. W, that you have tripped over another fascinating modern human contradiction...... that a foetus is nothing more than an object of maternal convenience until birth. Thence, it's transformed into the treasured leaseholder on the future of humanity.

This compares with the absurdity of a president whose crocodilic

teary eyes and feigned affability beguiles the press especially in their pretensions to the journalism of a Hannah Arendt or H L Mencken (Not).

Meanwhile real journalists and patriots like De Sousa, Horowitz and the,"Bill Whittle trio" in these pages yesterday seem to be the only analysts aware of Messiah The Liah's conscious strategy to subvert our way of life in pursuit of The Socialist Utopia . The standard strategy for success requires the economic collapse of the bourgeoisie (The Middle/Entrepreneurial Class.)

Finally, Jedediah et. al. should remember that revolutionaries of any stripe are always on duty and dedicated to the point of obsession. That's why, for example: Lies are one of the most effective tactical tools of an intelligent, glib career street polemicist: Neighborhood Organizer/Rabble Rouser).

While there is a germ of resistance to this threat we need an aggressive ASAP alternative

Piers Morgan should learn how to put HIMSELF in someone else's situation.

If the princial was armed, he could be alive today. Piers and his non thinking leftwingers would give the advantage only to the aggressors, and leave people defenceless to the pooint of becoming victims.

How would Piers like to face a crazed gunman unarmed?

How do people like Piers get on TV anyway?

A side of obama not seen before. Most men do not cry much and to show such heartfelt emotion is a sign of a person who does indeed have a heart.

That being said, we do have too many guns in society. It's ridiculous. How many people have ever really used a personal weapon for protection? Very few. At the very least these automatic weapons, AK's and all that need to banned. There is no reason for someone to need to own something like that. Remember, there but for the grace of God go I. There are just too many broken souls in this world and easy access to guns gives them an easy way to vent their pain. Get pissed if you want, that's how I feel. That guy's Aunt apparently was off her nut too. People should have to take a psych evaluation before purchasing firearms.

'How many people have ever really used a personal weapon for protection?' - w

Properly armed and trained, a person doesn't have to use a personal weapon for protection. That's why it's there. It can diffuse a potential disasterous situation. Do you think a criminal prefers to attack someone who may be armed or someone who is totally defenseless? That's not to say that the weapons haven't been used, as they have. There are many cases of it around.

How many cases of assault are there toward someone who carries a baseball bat on their shoulder? Very few. That doesn't make a good argument for getting rid of the baseball bat. Only that the bat was successful in it's purpose, without ever using it.

We need those automatic weapons to defend ourselves from the gov't. Remember, Obama is working on his domestic security force.

If they're discussing gun control, they need to discuss the ACLU, the Goebbels media, the courts, and Hollywood. They've all played a part in the debauchery of this society. I blame them for glorifying divorce, gay marriage, children out of wedlock, taking God out of schools, and taking the Ten Commandments out of the courts. This is exactly what happens in a Godless society.

They need to be held accountable. WE WILL NOT GIVE UP THE SECOND AMENDMENT, THE FIRST, OR THE TENTH. THE GOVT. IS ALREADY BLATANTLY VIOLATING THE FOURTH AMENDMENT AT AIRPORTS. I'm one angry citizen who's darn sick of having the Bill of Rights violated, simply because a corrupt leftist, is sitting on a court somewhere, hiding behind a black robe, and a bench. Hear that, John Roberts?

WE ARE GOING TO REMOVE THESE CORRUPT JUDGES, THROUGH IMPEACHMENT IF NECESSARY AS WELL AS THESE COMMUNISTS PARADING AROUND AS A LEGITIMATE AMERICAN GOVT.

What really gulls me, is Obama has been inciting violence since the day he came on the scene. He then walks around as though he's a beacon of civility. I've had enough.

THIS SHOOTING IS YET ANOTHER PROP FOR THIS DISPICIBLE, EVIL, HITLER LIKE, DESPOT.

He comes on national tv to cry about these lives lost and so much as makes up lies about the deaths in Benghazi that he was directly responsible. Were the lives lost in Benghazi worth less that he used to blame a vidoe on. This man is a poor leader and until we purge our country from him it will only get worse.

WOW, I've read a lot of the comments. They exemplify my thoughts exactly. I couldn't have said it better. I will add that the person about whom we are speaking, bho, has about as much compassion as a brick. A tear in his eye. GIVE ME A BREAK! He will certainly go down as a good actor, not great, but good. He fits right in with all the fruits, nuts and flakes from hollywood.

this shooting is a horrible tragedy. I try to find the good in people. But I disagree with ms. Bila and I can't find anything positive with this guy. I am sorry but with oblamer's track record, I cannot believe those are anything but crocodile tears. His actions and policies have caused so many deaths and sadness and will cause untold suffering. Yet he comes before a national tv and tears up. No, I do not believe anything coming from him or his minions. Remember what they represent. Remember the famous words "you never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." We are dealing with dangerous, committed idealogues who have shown time and again that "the ends justify the means."

The politicians will put huge taxes on guns and ammo. Yearly registrations will cost over a hundred dollars. In other words, they will try to price them out of existence and get more "revenue" for the government. Can you say "black market"??

Obama emotional....pigs fly?

He's just the latest edition of Jim Jones.

Gee officer, My guns were lost to a horrific boating accident last summer.

The Commander joked, "This will be fun, scareing the crap out of these warrior wannabees."

The commander asked, "Who volunteers to be first to go to the door and and tell him we're here to confiscate his guns?"

One hand went up.

"Great", said the Commander.

The hand raiser responded, "Sir, I just want to be excused to go to the can."

All of the other Warrior Wannabees were pissing their pants.

We have all experienced a sad event (a culture descending to problematic dimensions of behavior?)

I strongly urge all to observe Obama as an actor who's always on... roleplaying to the scenario of an unending script. Just how much sentimentality is there in a mystery man no one really knows: whose biography is a series of question marks: who's driving an economy into willful collapse: whose cabinet/executive office minions are the anonymous scriveners of an unending Niagara of rules, regulations and taxation.

Is this a revolutionary's gambit to capitalize on events to get the guns of self defense out of the hands of Americans determined to protect their way of life against all comers.

Remember Mac Arthur's cavalry charge to clear the DC elipse of the WW I Veteran shanty- towners during the depression.

And, remember Charlton Heston's challenge, "FROM MY COLD-DEAD HANDS?: championing the second amendment... the ultimate assignation of individual citizen sovereignty over government by the Framers: of that, "American Exceptionalism", of individual liberty, unique in the history of the world.

With Reserve and Caution, we follow and participate in the events of history in the making!

What these moron liberals just can't seem to wrap the twisted heads around is that a bad person doesn't need a gun to do bad things.

How about this one: the same guy without a gun could have taken a car as classes let out and driven through the crowd doing 40 miles an hour.

He bolts all the doors, pours gasoline around the perimeter of the building and sets it ablaze.
