he should set an example-have his secret service detail go unarmed from now on.

I've lived through the loss of one and I wouldn't go through it again just to make a freakin point.

He's the President.

That might be all the good I'd have to say about any politician. Respect for the office is not a foreign concept to me.

Although I see the point you are trying to make, it's not exactly a 1-to-1 argument. The POTUS is arguably the highest profile character in the world and has a very valid argument in the case of actually needing weapons to protect himself. The average Joe does not have multiple death threats per day (and even if they did, it's doubtful there gun and box of 100 ammo would prevent much of anything).
Take a country like Australia for example, they protect their government with guns while having tight restriction in place for their citizens and it is working out phenomenally. They have had ZERO mass shootings since the ban and have had a large reduction in gun crime and accidents.

Do you think he would add one more armed man...

to his security force to protect himself or his family?
I'm just asking for one gun, mine. Obama has no intention of wasting his time fighting over gun control. It ain't gonna happen and we all know it. Politicians should stop all the circus and get to something productive.

He is no simpler than anyone else. Just another poster with a bone to pick. Nothing new for this forum.
Go Tigers, set good examples and excel.

He never stated he wanted to rid America of guns...

It seems your IQ isn't high enough to distinguish between gun control laws and an outright ban on guns. And he was talking about something much deeper than just guns, like why are we the only first world country with a high amount of violent criminal acts. Hey, but I wouldn't want to confuse a right winger by posing them with a complex issue.
