Miffed that his operation to thwart Trump's election and undermine his presidency has come unraveled, former President Obama tried to sway Brazil's voters to oppose President Jair Bolsonaro's loosening of gun controls by falsely stating that "in the United States anyone can buy firearms, including machine guns, at any time—even over the Internet—without having to get government approval beforehand. Don't let your president lead you down this same dangerous path."
Early indications that Bolsonaro's January directive seems to have reduced crimes committed with guns contradicts Obama's premise that keeping guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens would improve public safety.
Undaunted by these data that he characterized as "just a blip on the radar," Obama argued that "whatever minor improvements that may come from arming good people, there can be no debate that crime could be virtually eradicated if all private ownership of weapons is outlawed. That is the policy that enabled countries like the Soviet Union and China to drive down crime rates so impressively."

According to Obama, I should be able to buy a machine gun on the internet. Did he give us a web site?
The kenyoid should be on ice.
Not to mention Obama threatening the Brits on the consequences of passing Brexit 3 years ago.
YouTube Active Self Protection shows there are absolutely no guns in Brazil. ;o)
At least he’s not colluding again with our enemy Iran. Actually, I think he still is.
