As he did following the Jared Lee Loughner massacre in Tuscon, President Obama has addressed the nation regarding the spree killing in Aurora, Colorado. Once again, the President made no mention of guns or gun control. Directly. “We will take every step possible to ensure the safety of our people” could be viewed as a coded message aimed at gun control advocates. Or not. Meanwhile, the Prez’s attempt to show his humanity— telling the audience that “my daughters go to the movies” (1:39)—ignores the obvious fact that his daughters go to the movies protected by the Secret Service. My daughters, and yours, do not. We are their security. All law-abiding Americans should be allowed to protect themselves, their children and their community as armed citizens. When it comes to the Second Amendment, politicians are either for it or against us. Hug that a little tighter tonight.
