Everything you need to know about the most recent gun-control debate (but didn’t have anyone to ask), Part 1
After some relatively quiet years, the national gun debate locked and loaded for another round last week after President Obama hinted his desire to reform the current background check system. Plenty has happened in the past few years with both sides entrenched in deep partisan arguments. To prepare readers for the onslaught of over-exaggerated political rhetoric, ambitious policies and former victims crying before the camera, The Daily Caller is launching a multi-part guide for readers not entirely up to snuff.
So much for a new non-partisan discussion
On Sunday March 13, President Obama took his first tiny steps into reigniting the debate over America’s oldest pastime: firearms.
He pleaded that we “find a sensible way to make the United States of America a safer, stronger place.” Avoiding the word “debate” in all but one instance (“… we can get beyond … stale political debates”), President Obama called for a “common sense” discussion.
That lasted less than 72 hours.
