I think we have two conflicting traditions in this country. i think it's important for us to recognize that we've got a tradition of handgun ownership and gun ownership generally. and a lot of people - law-abiding citizens use if for hunting, for sportsmanship, and for protecting their families. we also have a violence on the streets that is the result of illegal handgun usage. and so i think there is nothing wrong with a community saying we are going to take those illegal handguns off the streets.

Country Gun Thinking

More From Barack Obama

Making improvements to our background check system and cracking down on illegal gun trafficking are common-sense ways to prevent violence without punishing law abiding gun owners. we owe it to the american people to take real action to reduce gun violence in our communities.
Real Gun Law
My guess [is] . . . that the great majority of americans are saying they favor gun control when they really mean gun banishment. . . . i think the country has long been ready to restrict the use of guns, except for hunting rifles and shotguns, and now i think we're prepared to get rid of the damned things entirely - the handguns, the semis and the automatics.
Country Mean Gun
We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

I was born with the wrong sign in the wrong house with the wrong ascendancy i took the wrong road that led to the wrong tendencies i was in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme on the wrong day of the wrong week used the wrong method with the wrong technique wrong wrong.

I think we can provide common-sense approaches to the issue of illegal guns that are ending up on the streets. we can make sure that criminals don't have guns in their hands. we can make certain that those who are mentally deranged are not getting a hold of handguns. we can trace guns that have been used in crimes to unscrupulous gun dealers that may be selling to straw purchasers and dumping them on the streets.
Thinking Gun Issues
There's nothing wrong with loving your country. there's nothing wrong with caring about who gets into your country. there's nothing wrong about wanting your country to be great. there's nothing wrong with thinking that the country comes before the world. there's nothing wrong at all, and that's been wrong in the past and we're gonna make it right. we're gonna love america, we're gonna unify, we're gonna make america great again.

Men do not fight for flag or country, for the marine corps or glory or any other abstraction. they fight for one another. and if you came through this ordeal, you would age with dignity.
