[Daily Caller] Former President Barack Obama demanded unspecified "common-sense gun safety laws" after the Florida school shooting on Wednesday that left 17 people dead.
"We are grieving with Parkland. But we are not powerless. Caring for our kids is our first job. And until we can honestly say that we’re doing enough to keep them safe from harm, including long overdue, common-sense gun safety laws that most Americans want, then we have to change," Obama wrote in a statement posted to Twitter.
Obama did not specify what exact actions he is calling for, or whether they would have prevented Wednesday’s tragedy.

If I remember correctly the largest number of children killed in one incident was in Waco when the Clinton administration's ATF was trying to enforce gun control on the Branch Dividians.

Predictable. Dems are one-trick ponies. They don't really want to do anything about immigration, crime, terrorism, economy, taxes, disturbed people and mass shootings or just about anything else that's hard. They are big on hypocrisy, corruption, PC, identity politics, double-standards, climate change and fundamental changing destroying the country.
To kill cops. Oh...wait. You meant Bureau of Land Management. Nevermind

I'm probably being paranoid here, but didn't this happen right before the House was going to vote on national CCW reciprocity? And didn't Las Vegas happen right before a vote on removing suppressors from the NFA?

QANON is paranoid too. I am not sure that I am drinking the cool-aid but I decided to look for my tin-foil hat.

Did anyone call for new laws controlling rental trucks after jihadists ran down people in France? Gun control takes aim at the 2nd Amendment. A disarmed population is not a free population. Look at Chicago. Restrictive gun laws but many shootings.
[BALTIMORESUN] Baltimore City Council committee voted Tuesday morning to support a bill that would bar restaurants from including sodas and other sugary drinks in kids meals, a move supporters say could improve children’s health. Ofergawdsake, how did any of us ever reach adultery without this kind of politicians looking out for us?
Under the proposed measure, city restaurants would be required to offer water, milk or real fruit juice on children’s menus. They would still be allowed to serve soda to children if accompanying adults order it.
An advocacy group called Sugar Free Kids said the measure could help reduce the amount of sugar in childrens’ diets.
"They’re drinking way too much sugar," said Shawn McIntosh, the group’s director. Encouraging children to pick healthy drinks while eating out could lead to them choosing the same refreshments at home.
But McIntosh acknowledged that the measure would be "baby steps toward changing the culture."
The full council will consider the bill later this month.

Why not outlaw desserts as well? I guarantee there's a lot more sugar in a slice of carrot cake than there is in a can of Pepsi.

It's good to see that Baltimore is finally addressing the important issues rather than getting sidetracked by unimportant distractions like an incompetent mayor and corrupt police department... oh yeah and the Ravens

I blame the sugar. Gives'em the jitters. Impairs proper sight picture and alignment. Also plays hell with magazine reloading. Banning the dreadful soda is the least we can do.
