White House’s Jay Carney: Today Is Not the Day to Talk About Gun Control

Dec. 14, 2012 1:39pm Becket Adams

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney on Friday told reporters that today is a day to mourn and express sympathy for those who have lost loved ones in Newton, Conn., not a day to discuss gun control.

Carney was asked whether the horrifying Newton massacre would push gun control and gun policy to the top of the president’s second-term agenda.

“We are still waiting for more information about the incident in Connecticut,” said Carney. “As we do, I think it’s important, on a day like today, to view this as I know the president, as a father, does, and others who are parents certainly do: which is to feel enormous sympathy for those families affected and to do everything that we can to support state and local law enforcement and to support those who are enduring what appears to be a very tragic event.”

“There is, I am sure, will be, rather, a day for discussion of the usual Washington policy debates, but I do not think today is that day,” he added.

Evil existed long before guns were invented, and evil will exist even if every gun, cannon, knife, hacksaw, axe, drill, ice pick, etc. were destroyed.

  The worst school killing in the U.S. did NOT include a gun …
  
  “The worst mass school murder in American history took place on May 18,1927 in Bath Township, Mich., when a former school board member set off three bombs that killed 45 people.”

  So glad that I am not the only one who knows about the Bath School Massacre (erroneously called the Bath School Disaster at wikipedia). Most of the dead were children under the age of 10. No guns involved. Just hatred. Of course, this massacre does not fit the MSM’s narrative, so it is always forgotten.

  But tomorrow is, right Jay?
  
  D a m n these psycho shooters and their misplaced animus.
  Attention all would-be psycho shooters:
  You’re thinking about doing an horrific act. You already know afterward there are 3 possible
  outcomes:
  [1] You’ll “off” yourself because you’re a coward
  [2] You’ll get the lethal injection after receiving the death penalty
  [3] You’ll rot in prison somewhere with a cellmate named Conan who turns you into his own personal pleasure toy
  
  You already know the aftermath is going to be gruesome no matter what happens so why not
  become a hero and instead of attacking an elementary school full of innocent children, turn
  your venom on those who really deserve it —– the criminals, cowards, traitors and ingrates
  who make up the Progressive National Caucus.
  
  Be All You Can Be — Wipe out an entire disease.

  I am willing to bet that more Americans died in auto accidents than died by gun violence in America today… When are we going to save the lives of innocent children by banning motor vehicles??? Motor vehicles are a greater danger to children, much less adults, than crazy people with guns…

  I would really like to share your sentiments, and I do to a degree.
  
  However, when I think of this administration’s ‘sympathy’ the image of Bill Clinton at Ron Brown’s (?) funeral keeps coming to mind. You know the one…he was laughing until he saw the cameras that were trained on him, then he was wiping away tears.
  
  But, since I, too, am a Christian, I am trying hard to give Carney (and Obama) the benefit of the doubt

  That’s because now Obama has said that there will be ‘meaningful changes’…apparently it is ok to talk about gun control.
  
  2) The senseless murder of innocents and the ruined lives of those left behind breaks my heart.
  
  It breaks my heart, also.
  
  3) The Keys are more concerned about the shooter and their guns, and whether they will be inconvenienced.
  
  We don’t consider curtailing our rights a mere ‘incoonveni’.

  Glenn hasn’t turned anyone into anything. However the PC climate that has been fostered by the progressive’s have turned this country into something far removed from its founder’s ideals.

No, the day of a mass shooting is never a good day to talk about gun control. Neither is the day when an NFL player shoots his girlfriend and himself. Neither is the day when a gunman kills six people and wounds a Congresswoman. Neither is a day far removed from the last mass shooting, but before the next one, because by then, everyone is, like, meh, gun control, what about it?

But since everyone, pro and con, seems to agree that we ought to talk about it, I hereby propose June 9 as National Everyone Let’s Talk about Gun Control Day. Why June 9? No particular reason, just a random day on the calendar, as good as any other.

  Why talk about “gun control”. Let’s have a day to talk about self-control. THAT is the real issue is it not? Guns have existed for centuries. Why is this an issue now? Perhaps it’s that humanity is getting more and more jacked up? Just a hypothesis you know. I mean we have a gazillion people running around on psychotropic meds. Mix that with booze and drugs. Mix that with a popular culture that glorifies violence. Mix that with a growing police state becoming ever more violent. Cops seem to routinely be pumping citizens full of lead. Mix that with a government that kills people as if it is going out of style. We extrajudicially kill our own citizens now. Our POTUS has authorized the bombing of 6 nations. The expansion of bombing into Pakistan has killed 178 children. Should this guy lecture us on “gun control”? Heck, should he lecture us on “self control”? Guns were no more responsible for killing those kids today than drones are for killing Pakistani kids. People pull triggers, people launch drones, people sign authorizations to kill people.
  
  From the lowest cognizant American to the POTUS…we are immersed in violence and the disregard for life. I think negotiating with people who lead the world in killing about giving up my guns while society is decaying around me is complete madness.
  
  Talk to yourself on June 9th.

  Excellent points.
  
  I would only argue that to have a discussion about “self-control’ with those who believe in a collective (i.e. no “self”) would be a waste of time.
  
  They are more interested in ‘mass’-control than ‘self’-control.

  When someone says, “It’s not the time to talk about gun control,” they are already talking about gun control. When someone says, “Let’s talk about something else,” they are doing it too. I, however, will not be participating in any more conversations/debates/arguments about gun control, pending June 9. Thank you.

A common factor in all these shootings are white males in their early 20′s and they all went to public schools, so lets ban whites males and close all public schools, that should solve the problem.

He’s deflecting so the admin can come up with some crocodile tears, pander to the Brady’s, and use it as an excuse to “get the conversation going about meaningful gun control” even though we already have it, and it has failed miserably.

  Amen. What they should be talking about the desensitivation of children when it comes to this sort of violence. Something tells me the shooter is an avid video game player of World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, etc.. If those teachers, or even some of them, were able to carry, some would probably be alive today. This disgusts me to no end!

  Switzerland has one of highest gun ownership rates in the world, with 45.7 guns per 100 residents. Switzerland’s gun crime is so low they don’t keep statistics, this is per a 2001 BBC report and the aforementioned is from http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/switzerland.asp

The only gun control that should be talked about here is the control of the teacher/staff that had the common sense to arm and train himself, so someday he may be able to stop a madman in his tracks…PERIOD!!!

I will say this, it is highly likely that if there were an armed and trained person or two on the scene that those kids may be alive right now.

Had the shooter been drunk and hit a school bus, killing an equal amount of people, would there be a call for a ban on automobiles? Alcohol was banned at one point then the ban was repealed because it did not work. The problem is not with the firearms it is with the morality- or lack of morality- being taught to children today. They never have to take responsibility for their own actions. Someone else is to blame- parents, friends, society, etc. Even the President never takes responsibility for his actions.

  The issues are more complex. There is a change in parenting style and ethics in today’s world. However, the bus crash comparison doesn’t work because of intent and use. I’m not for banning guns because they are protected by the constitution. However, it’s naive to not accept the fact that guns have one purpose: killing. Even the recreational use of guns in target practice is subliminally practice to aim and kill something. I think what needs to be done to stop these massacres is HEAVY psychiatric evaluation of anybody looking to purchase a firearm.

  @ TheBiter1: Having people like me, and other law following citizens, go through more hoops to purchase a firearm is not the answer. We are not the ones committing the crimes. Those that are intent on killing with a firearm, are not purchasing through legal means anyway. This kid was 20. In most states, you are supposed to be 21 to purchase a pistol. He had two pistols which were either purchased on the black market, or someone else purchased/ obtained for him. A psyche eval wound not have made a difference to him.
  
  Cocaine, heroine, marijuana and other such drugs have been illegal for years. They are no longer able to be purchased or used in America, correct? I know two states just made pot legal, but the others are still illegal. How many crimes have been committed to obtain these drugs, including violent crimes?

First my prayers go out to anyone affected in this tragedy. As far as the lunes in DC, ther’re not going to talk about it today, but just wait till tomorrow. Ok this is how many house holds have guns 43-55 million households, gun related deaths a year exactly 28,736 people die from guns each year.
So now how many people die in car accidents, about 32,885, next from smoking, •Over 443,000 Americans (over 18 percent of all deaths) die because of smoking each year. And so on why is there such a WAR on law abiding citizens that want to own a gun? Lefties want to ban GUNS, SODA, JUNK FOOD, maybe we should ban people that don’t have any self control and are waiting for the Federal Nanny to talk care of them.

  It’s not about self control, I think it’s mental health that needs to be addressed in America. Guns are a Constitutional right, but if there’s any reason to believe that someone isn’t of sound mind and clear conscience, that right should be taken away to prevent the loss of life.

  That right already is taken away for people who are adjudicated mentally defective. We don’t have a pre-crime type thing in the US. We can put laws in place, but until someone actually breaks them and commits a crime, we can’t punish people preemptively. On top of that, many who are mentally deficient are not reported as being so, and sometimes even if they have run ins with police, nothing is done about it until too late.

You mean in the same way the CLOTUS felt sympathy for the four Americans that he watched get slaughtered in Benghazi ? The same kind of sympathy that made the CLOTUS lie and force others to lie about Benghazi ? OK. We just want to make sure we get the straight scoop on this terrible grief that the CLOTUS is going through, being that he cares so much for America and Americans.

  “ABC reporting that the shooter was 24, armed with 4 weapons, and a bullet-proof vest. Nothing happened after Aurora, now it MUST.

  You’re right, it’s the republicans and libertarians that are calling for gun control.
  
  This is about Evil. A man (evil or not) doing evil things. Semi Auto handguns have been around for over a century (shooter used a Glock and SigSauer, not a .223, according to NBC). In China just days ago, a man went on a rampage at a school with a knife, and stabbed/cut 22 people/kids.
  
  It’s about Evil, not guns.

  Yes, Conservatives are making this a gun issue. You tea brains are making it a gun issue. Rush went on the air making it a gun issue.
  
  Tea Party is the most unstable.

It’s a Friday. If it were a Monday, Obama would have already flown to Conn. and would be at the scene as we speak.

The shooter is going to be one of those guys that just wanted to see the world burn.

  Today is not the day because it is Friday. This stuff gets buried in the news on Friday.

Here we go again… don’t let any catastrophe go to waste!

Instead of talking about gun restrictions maybe you should be arming our teachers. Making guns illegal will not stop these lunatics from killing the innocent. They do it because they know the media will sensationalize their actions.

Has anyone noticed the press is reporting on shootings quite a bit recently?

  It’s eating them up inside you can tell by Carney’s own words all they want to do is jump on this crisis in an attempt to push their ideology.

  Yes, yes . . . they should be focused on the hot dog guy’s cart and the Fox News reporter who got a pimple popped. This coverage of a slaughtered kindergarten class is just hysteria.

  @Pant
  
  Nobody said it had to equal the shooting. It’s just odd that whenever violence shows up from the left it never get’s reported.

  We know what your pants are loaded with….Pant. The point is News Outlets should report the NEWS and TRUTHFULLY there should be no consideration on how the NEWS might effect their political party or ideology.
  The amazing part is the liberal blindness all you democrats have.
  Attack Fox as fake news …..while every other new orginization only lies,torques and distorts stories and there’s actual proof of it.
  The you call Republicans fascist while democrats create fascist legislation and regulation daily to control all aspects of our lives
  Call Republicans cronies when Democrats have lined the pockets of their biggest donors with tax dollars and are continuing to do this right now.
  Call Republics war criminals for water board while Obama is drone civilian and terrorist alike
  Claim Republicans are attack the first amendment for the patriot act OVER SEA WIRE TAPPING while Obama signed NDAA ALLOWING FOR U.S. CITIZEN TO BE HELD INDEFINANTLY WITHOUT EVERY BEING CHARGED= OH AND Increase in wiring tapping,increase in cell tracking
  Then there this every time Democrats are in office innocent people are murdered by ATF agents and policies waco,rubie ridge,fast and furious all LIBERAL RUNNING THE DOJ.
  in other words I have proof you have crap(pantload)
  you pantloads are silent when these actions happen while your’s are in charge
