MSNBC Host: We Are ‘Endangering Ourselves’ by Owning Guns…We Need Obama to ‘Save Us’

MSNBCs Touré Says Americans Are Putting Themselves in Danger by Owning Guns, Calls on Obama to Save Us

During MSNBC’s “The Cycle” on Monday, MSNBC co-host Touré said Americans are putting themselves in danger, not protecting themselves, by owning guns. He later said only President Barack Obama can “save us from the gun epidemic.”

“We want to envision ourselves as a nation of vigilantes protecting ourselves with our guns, but that’s not what’s happening, Touré said. “We’re an over-armed nation helping gun makers get richer by believing blatant lies that the government is plotting to take away our guns, and believing the myth that we’re protecting and not endangering ourselves.”

He went on to say that the gun control issue could be the “most crucial moment in the Obama administration — perhaps the most important legislation they’ll ever propose.”

“Gun safety is no longer a clear loser for Democrats, who have lost pro-gun rural voters and have nothing to show for it but a fear of gun control. The suburban and urban voters who show up for Dems in droves need the president to save us from the gun epidemic. We need him to fear nothing but fear itself,” he added.

Touré called on the White House to ban so-called “assault weapons” (which are really just semi-automatic rifles) and large capacity magazines. He also wants there to be an expansion on the “reporting on who has guns” as well as universal background checks.

“If you’re not fighting to help people’s lives, then why are you in D.C.?” Touré lectured. “Mr. President, don’t back down now.”

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

The most mass murders in history have happened after guns have been confiscated. So as usual the governments plan is ass backwards.

Could this moron be anymore lost than his entitlement driven brain can inflict upon itself?
In all his years as a Chicago Representative, and social activist has Obama once reduced his quota of death in his Chicago “Hood”?
Not a single time! In fact his own Chicago Hood is the prime example that his Holiness, the Grand Puba of Progressives. He couldn’t reduce his own neck of the woods murderers, and gun related crimes. Yet some bonehead as usual MSNBC host mouthpiece says Obama will save the nation, yet couldn’t save one person in his own backyard.

I’m as left as you can be but don’t understand why the volume and content of the thug “music” you can’t escape from isn’t part of this anti-violence campaign.If it doesn’t make you want to shoot someone I don’t know what does.

Another liberal idiot who has no clue. I don’t wish anyone harm but he needs to be walking alone between 11 PM to say 3 AM in detroit ,chicago, New York, Charlotte, Atl, LA, SF, or any of a dozen other cities and see if he wishes he had a hand gun!!! Toure opinions are ridiculous and sad, but at least we have the constitution to back us owning, possessing, and carrying firearms!!

This reporter needs therapy. Obama has about a much saving power as my tom cat. He is the most disguting human on the planet. He enjoys playing big shot.

So, this little shhtstain says: “believing blatant lies that the government is plotting to take away our guns”

Then, in the next breath wants Obama to actually try something to restrict, prohibit, or deny our right to own one???

This so-called liberal “personality” can pound sand.

Face it libturds, you ain’t getting our guns- no matter what the F’ you propose, how much you cry, or pretend legislate.

What’s F’d up, is the libs know we are right. The statistics and logic are correct, they just don’t want to face it.- Too bad- the Wolves will devour their sorry 6′s.

I want to know the IQ of the person at News ‘R Us (aka MSNBC) who is charged with hiring. I have never, ever seen such a collective display of total ignorance sans talent as those who appear on that channel. Watching this station is the equivalent of watching a Saturday Night Live marathon.

Yes, the Democraps have been trying to take away our Rights since they came into existence. No,they will never succede, no matter how many Tou’res they trot out to spread their propaganda & fearmongering. This guy, Tou’re works for a treasonous channel. Anything they say is mute. It’s just their opinion. Unfortunately, the rest of us don’t have a microphone. We don’t have the luxury of voicing our opinions in such a way. But this doesn’t make his opinion right. It just makes it louder.

If it weren’t for the hoodlums and their guns, this might be true.

Oh, wait, and the whole government thing.

Toure said, “Only Obama can save us from the gun epidemic.” You mean like he saved Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi? Probably.

Wow! Where does this guy get his information from? I would say he is quite misinformed. We know he obviously doesn’t have any guns at his home; I hope he doesn’t have a home invasion. I’m sure he would change his tune quite rapidly then.

In Texas we’d say he’s goofy as a road lizard.

What the hell kind of name is Toure?

  In MN we call his type of name doodling. His parents thought it cute to change the normal spelling of Tory. I am sure they were very proud of every trophy he brought home for participating.

April 12, 1861 it started. April 14, 1865 after 620,000 died. They finally got the right one.

In my opinion, Touré needs to be in a mental institution.

Definitely a kid who grew up with the “everyone gets a trophy” Government schooling motto! Way to go, you gave it your all. Even though you only did half the work required, at least you showed up, that makes you a winner! ugh.

The beauty of or Constitution is that twits like Tourag don’t have to own a gun if they don’t want to. It does however ENTITLE me to own one (or more) if I so choose.

That’s all.

If anyone wants to know what America would look like without guns, just turn your eyes south–to Mexico. The citizens are living in terror because of drug cartels. Bodies are literally dumped en masse on the streets. Do the stringent gun control laws in Mexico protect the citizens! Of course not–what criminal is going to give up his guns? What law officer is going to challenge a vicious gang for their guns? Second point to consider: Which peoples have historically been unable to defend themselves against tyrannical governments?
