What's the take away from this? It is Obama himself sending it and can't understand the difference between "by" and "buy". Or, he just has some other flunky racist think up this crap and tweet out.....take your pick.
I do not think the confusion between “by” and its homonym “buy” was unintentional on the part of the Current Occupant. There is a subtext there, that the teenager, prohibited by law from acquiring a gun of his own by purchase, may more frequently find a situation where this same teenager, to (go) by a gun, i.e., walk past an adult who is either legally or illegally carrying a gun, or pass by a peace officer, who in most instances, is also carrying a gun.
Or maybe the Current Occupant is a very bad speller.

That’s the first thing I noticed. Illiterate MFs.
It could be a typo, but whoever actually types comments for a professional twitter account of this scale needs to proof-read it before pressing Enter or Send or whatever mechanism Twitter uses to publish a statement. I mean come on, there is only ONE White House, right? It’s not someone in their mother’s basement who happens to have a white colored house?
Indeed. Isn't the ability to distinguish between homophones a mark of intellect?
BTW, not to nitpick, but the period always goes inside the quote marks, like this: "Period."

Good catch!
