Is it just me, or has it been a long long long friggin' eight years? Forty-one more days and they seem to be going by really really slowly. What a friggin' nightmare Obozo has been! Let's hope Trump follows through on his campaign rhetoric to bolster our rights (among other things).
Obama Tells CNN His Greatest Regret Was Failure to Secure More Gun Controlhttp://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/12/08/obama-cnn-gun-control/Excerpt:
President Barack Obama tells CNN’s Fareed Zakaria his greatest regret from the past eight years was his inability to further restrict the Second Amendment via more gun control.
Obama said:
"If you ask me where has been the one area where I feel that I’ve been most frustrated and most stymied, it is the fact that the United States of America is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient common sense gun safety laws."
Zakaria said, “He failed to pass any firearms legislation. By the time it became a priority he simply did not have the political capital.”

One quick point about Obama’s assertion that “the United States of America is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient common sense gun safety laws.”
This statement seemingly refers to the universal background checks Democrats have pushed and repeatedly failed to pass. It is important to note that Paris, France, has universal background checks. France also has bans on entire categories on guns, mental health checks, and other requirements that must be met before a person is allowed to own one of the few guns that can be legally obtained. Yet Paris witnessed 12 people gunned down during the January 7, 2012, attack on Charlie Hebdo and another 130 gunned down during the November 13, 2015, Paris terror attack.
Moreover, on July 14, 2016, a terrorist bypassed all gun control and used a truck to kill 84 in Nice.
