The Obama administration insisted Wednesday, in reaction to the San Bernardino massacre that was carried out by Muslim terrorists, that “common sense” gun laws will deter jihadists who are planning attacks.
“Does the President really think that common sense gun laws would deter terrorists?” reporter Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.“Yes,” responded Earnest with a smug grin. “The president believes that passing common sense gun laws that makes it harder for people with bad intentions to get guns, makes the country safer.”
“But so the president thinks that when there are potentially two terrorists sitting around planning a mass murder they may call it off because President Obama has put in place common sense gun laws?” Doocy pressed.
“Why wouldn’t we make it harder for them? What’s the explanation for that?” Earnest replied.
Obama is planning “to use executive authority to close the so-called gun show loophole that allows thousands of people to buy guns each year without a background check,” according to the L.A. Times.
