Obama: ‘Important’ Second Amendment Responsible for High Homicide Rates

Speaking at Benedict College in South Carolina on March 6, President Obama said the “Second Amendment … is important,” that it is “part of our culture” and “part of who were are.” Then he quickly added, “But what we also have to recognize is, is that our homicide rates are so much higher than other industrialized countries–by like a mile.”

So, the Second Amendment is important but…

Moreover, Obama hinted that the individual right to bear arms–the very right protected by the Second Amendment–is the result of a Supreme Court interpretation. On June 22, Breitbart News reported that The Washington Post espoused this same liberal talking point, claiming that the Supreme Court created an individual right to keep and bear arms via the District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) decision.

In other words, prior to 2008, there was no individual right to keep and bear arms. It wasn’t what our Founding Fathers intended and it wasn’t what generation upon generation of Americans from 1791 to 2008 believed and lived by. It’s all based on a decision by a group of justices.

I’ve heard our homicide rate isn’t all that high, except in certain select uncivilized segments of the population.

Throw out the black/Hispanic drug gang shootings, and we become Norway.

I'd like to see Obama and Bill Whittle debate this topic.

Obama only sees the murder rate in Chicago among Blacks....he does not see the entire USA...his racism blinds him plus the fact our U.S. Constitution is of no moment to Obama. His continued attacks on our Second Amendment is criminal....an Armed Citizenry is a Free Citizenry.

There is indeed a person behind every trigger.
With a population of over 300 million people, we are remarkably peaceful.
