President Obama recruits police to gun debate

WASHINGTON — President Obama on Monday again pressured Congress to pass tough gun legislation, seeking help from law enforcement leaders in three communities that have suffered the horrors of mass shootings.

At a White House meeting, Obama said that no group is more important in the gun debate and he said he recognizes the issue ‘‘elicits a lot of passion all across the country.’’

Chiefs of police are not police. They are politicians. Street cops believe there are enough gun laws and that citizens have the right to protect themselves.

"no group is more important in the gun debate"

So, according to Barry, a person's importance is based on what "group" they belong to.  No doubt there is a heirarchy of "groups".

Looks like it is time to change the Constitution again "We the groups..."

How about Congress just listen to what the people of their districts want, not cherry picked "groups" shoved in their faces by the Prez?
