Obama Says He's Not a "Gun Grabber" [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 5 June 2016 | John Semmens

In response to an audience member's concern that Democrats want to take guns away from law-abiding people, President Obama sought to reassure the man that his fears were exaggerated.

"The notion that I, or Hillary or Democrats or whoever want to personally grab everyone's guns is just not true," he said. "I would never grab anyone's gun, but I think we can all agree that there are some dangerous elements in our society who ought not to have them."

"What we need are sensible controls over who can and can't have guns," the President continued. "Who can better make this determination than law enforcement authorities? Police have to deal with the criminal population on a daily basis. Surely we can trust their judgment. I don't see anything wrong with individuals having to prove to police their need to be personally armed before they are granted permission to have a firearm."

The President rebuffed the argument that the high homicide rate in Chicago—a city with extremely strict control over gun ownership—undermines the "gun control" model he holds out as the solution. "Clearly, too many people are getting shot in my hometown," Obama admitted. "What that tells me is that the controls that exist are insufficient. Obviously, stronger measures are called for. At a minimum we need to know where all the guns are. A universal registration database would enable us to move quickly to disarm those we deem a threat."

"There have been more guns sold since I've been president than just about any time in U.S. History," Obama observed. "This is the exact opposite of what I would have liked to see happen. I regret not taking the actions necessary to have prevented this arms race."

Actually, he’s the greatest firearms salesman since Adolf Hitler.

When it comes to firearm sales, Obama makes Hitler look like a piker.

Nearly 100 million more firearms sold in the United States during his reign.

I do not think there were 50 million guns manufactured in all of WWII.
