Obama Wants ‘Penalties On Anyone Who Buys A Gun As Part Of A Scheme To Arm Criminals’ « Pat Dollard
Despite his attorney general being in contempt of Congress regarding a gun-running operation that provided guns to drug dealers, Pres. Obama says he wants to “impose serious penalties” on people who do just that.
Calling for a vote on gun control measures, Obama said Thursday the laws were needed to punish any “scheme to arm criminals”:
“Now the full Senate and the House need to vote on this bill, as well as the measures advanced in the past week that would impose serious penalties on anyone who buys a gun as part of a scheme to arm criminals, improve school safety, and help keep guns out of the hands of criminals, people with a severe mental illness, and others who shouldn’t have them. ”
