    Prepare for a barrage of people shouting out America’s Second Amendment – ‘a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed’.

    Yes Obama has decided to go above Congress and issue an executive order, defined as such by CNBC:

    Most executive orders stem from a president’s desire to bypass Congress. The legislative body is not required to approve any executive order, nor can it overturn an order. The best it can do if it doesn’t like an executive order is to pass a law to cut funding for the order’s implementation. But even then, the president can veto such a defunding law.

    Rest assured every step will be taken to thwart Obama’s efforts to curb the spate of mass shootings that have long dominated headlines in the U.S. Anyway back to the matter at hand, Barack shedding some tears as he ran through a list of some of the country’s more notorious shootings. It’s not the first time he has shed tears in public, although according to TIME this was different:

    But the tears the President shed on Tuesday seemed to come from a different place. They were as much about the sadness of the deaths of innocents as they were a recognition of his powerlessness to change the situation. Obama chose to make the speech emotional, inviting family members to stand behind him with buttons depicting their loves ones pinned to their lapels. It was a ceremony designed to create the opposite of closure, to pick at a wound and make it raw again.

    Or, if you are from the right side of the political spectrum, you could roll out the conspiracy theories. Gawker with some of the best:

    You had to go and bring up Hitler didn’t you, just couldn’t resist. But wait, there’s more – let’s see what the ever entertaining Fox News had to say about it all. ISIS man, ISIS:

    This is the same Fox News that employed Glenn Beck, the man who can turn on the tears at the drop of a hat.

    It’s amazing how the increasingly polarised coverage of American politics leads to such absurdity. ISIS is coming to your home town y’all, and Heil Barack is to blame.
