Have you no shame, sir? Flanked by children, and their letters, as props, President Obama unveiled his gun-grabbing plans today. During the display, he said that the first task of society is to keep children safe. Big Daddy Government!
Our first task as parents is to keep our own children safe, our nation's first task is to keep them FREE!

He also said this:
"If there's even one life that can be saved, then we've got an obligation to try." —President Obama

Again. Yesterday, conservatives shredded that shameful hypocrisy. President Obama continued to invoke the right to life. Today, the ever-repugnant Piers Morgan swoons over the president’s remarks.
Obama's hit the nail on the head – the right to life, especially for children, surely supercedes any other rights? #GunControlNow
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 16, 2013
Oh, really? These Twitter users are wondering about that; What about abortion? Do you, Piers, and President Obama now recognize the fundamental right to life?
Obama framing gun control as a defence of fundamental right to life, rather than an attack on second amendment rights

Hmm?
@piersmorgan how about the right to life, when it comes to #abortion? Liberals really care about life, except when it comes to the unborn.

Didn't mean Mexican society, obviously. RT @jamiedupree: Obama says the "first task of our society" is "keeping our children safe"

Obama pushing your "right to life" in gun argument. I guess millions & millions of aborted kids didn't have the same right!
— John Sykes (@tcottruth) January 16, 2013
So Obama thinks gun control supports a "right to life" but is pro-choice. Ironic word choice… #hypocrisy

Obama invokes freedom of religion and the right to life. Yet he is forcing religious employers to buy abortion pills for people.

Obama, the guy that voted for partial birth abortion and live birth abortion, preached to us about the Right to Life.

Why does Pres. Obama keep stressing the fundamental right to life and continue to allow abortion?
— Jonathan Hartzler (@hartzlerj) January 16, 2013
I agree with Obama, childrens right to life should be protected from guns! To bad he doesnt agree they also need protecting during pregnancy

That’s right. Even if a baby survived an abortion attempt, he thought that concern for the doctor performing the abortion trumped that child’s right to life, if the baby insisted upon ‘not just coming out limp and dead.‘
Mr President, there are tens of millions of children whose lives were destroyed in abortion, who never got to choose a favorite color.

The sad truth. But, that’s just a normal day, right, Mr. President?
Obama on gun control “This is our first task as a society: keeping our children safe. This is how we will be judged."
— Cate Gormley (@CateGormley) January 16, 2013
This is how we will be judged, indeed.
Update:
"Along with our freedom to live our lives as we will comes an obligation to allow others to do the same." —President Obama
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) January 16, 2013
Practice what you preach, Mr. President.
