Obama After Pittsburgh Shooting: We Have to Stop Making it So Easy for People Who Want to Harm Innocents to Get a Gun

Hours after the deadly shooting at a Pittsburgh area synagogue, former President Barack Obama said it is time to stop making it so easy for people who want to harm others to get a gun.

Obama started off his Twitter statement on Saturday by calling for Americans to fight “the rise of anti-Semitism and hateful rhetoric against those who look, love, or pray differently.”

Then, he wrote this: “And we have to stop making it so easy for those who want to harm the innocent to get their hands on a gun.”

Obama’s comments come on the same day as President Donald Trump suggested that the Pittsburgh massacre had little to do with gun laws. “If they had some kind of a protection inside the temple maybe it could have been a very much different situation,” Trump told reporters Saturday afternoon. “They didn’t and he was able to do things that unfortunately he shouldn’t have been able to do.”

1. The hate starts at the top, the president is the top

Trumpism is the biggest killer of all.

2. Sadly this most recent massacre will be forgotten in a few days

I've posted news stories about two other multiple shootings in the past week, sadly this has become 'normal'.

3. no it won't -there are more of these roided up angry raging people in the MAGA-gang.

a LOT more citizens fly their flags of hate these days.

With Republican TV/radio & their President- pushing the migrant hate, Muslim hate, Mexico's "caravan" hate, I doubt people will have time to forget.
