1. this was probably the best

speech I have heard him give IMHO

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I have to agree. I have no doubt it was a tough speech to give, but it came from the heart

[gopiscrap]

3. yes I was near tears listening to him

and his closing: I have professionally sung that piece "On Eagles Wings" many times for funerals, specially Roman Catholic funerals

[Rhiannon12866]

4. I admit I got choked up, too.

He had such an overwhelming task in front of him when he was first elected, but the hits keep coming. He's done an amazing job and I'm guessing that his faith sustains him.

8. I totally agree with you

5. Where is Executive Action Legislation by the President?

[Woodswalker]

6. I really don't think it would

Work to first off do an executive action let alone trying to enforce it in the bible reading blood Loving gun nutter states?

7. The only thing we are going to get

Is likely some more background checks.


I THINK we’ll get an Age 21 for assault weapon purchase, and, If we are lucky, we’ll get some money for mental health, and some more model red flag laws adopted in several more states.

Not a lot, but something.

There will be no federal prohibition on “assault weapons”, nor a federal ban on 15-round magazines.
