Obama, get back on the plane. We don't need your lies. I'm sick and tired of ANYBODY telling me that I can't protect my family and friends. Cops have guns to protect THEMSELVES, not us. They give up their guns, and maybe I'll give up mine.

Because, tomcat, it's already illegal to purchase guns in Chicago. So guess where they get them? That's right, places like Wisconsin and Minnesota.

"So, why isn't Obama in Chicago to confront the out of control murder rate that his friend Emmanual has no idea how to reign in.....??" Because they already have strict gun laws and it hasn't made a difference.

Obama spent 1.6 Million dollars on a day trip to Las Vegas last week ---- now he is spending, I suspect over 1 million to visit Minneapolis. He has no care in the world about spending OUR tax dollars!!! He should go to Chicago and spend a MONTH there dealing with all the shooting taking place in that area instead of spending all the money to fuel his ego in Minnesota ------ We HAVE to get FRANKEN out of office next year as well - he is a JOKE.

If you want an eye opener as to the Bin Laden killing, go see "Zero Dark Thirty" (movie). It took a female CIA agent nearly six months to convince the Administration to go with the plan!!! And Obama has taken credit..... NOT

sharky, how did those kids that shot the boy get ahold of those guns? at a gun show? because they don't have restrictions on sales. or maybe they got them from someone that bought the guns at a gun show. see how bad the existing laws are?

Hey Rybak, why don't YOU get a spine instead of being a sheep in your knee jerk reaction to gang violence, which is occurring on YOUR watch? It's not the guns in the hands of the law abiding, it's YOU Rybak. You have failed and are using this gun control nonsense to cover it all up. Thank goodness you will be gone soon.

Hey Mr. President, I think you need mapquest to plan your itinerary, it's Chicago you want to go to, not here.

He comes to a state where the Governor annually goes on "opening hunting" weekend, when it is likely that his mental health should deny him access to guns. Hmmmmmm, interesting choice.
