>>Given the circumstances, Barack Obama couldn't possibly be a less credible source.
Closed question, then: would any other developed nation accept the weekly mass shootings? Whether Obama is a "credible source" has little impact on that sort of concept, surely.
>>You're also quoting a man who is either distorting (or lying) about the numbers. No one number tells the entire statistic, as stated by FactCheck.org

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
