First Lady Michelle Obama, in an intensely personal speech Wednesday, called for Chicago to ban stolen handguns, the most commonly-used murder weapon, in a city that tallied more than 500 murders last year.
Although Chicago already has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, Mrs. Obama said the city needs to get serious about making illegally-acquired weapons illegal.
The First Lady teared up as she recalled attending the funeral of a 15-year-old Chicago girl, shot in the back by a drive-by assailant, who reminded her of her own childhood in the same city.
I realized that that young girl was me and I was her, Obama said. In other words, if I had been at that same spot just 35-years later, then Barack Obama would never have met me, and he would not be President of the United States today, so you would never get to hear this intensely-personal speech.
President Obama said his wifes gripping, emotional connection with that Chicago handgun murder should motivate Congress to pass more restrictive gun laws even if they would have no power to stop senseless murders of Chicago children.
Republicans can argue that restricting magazine capacity, banning assault weapons or increasing background checks will do nothing to stem the tide of inner-city violence, said the president, but they can never counter the emotional impact of watching my wife cry. To them I say, your argument is invalid.
This coming from a porcine slob who has constant well-armed security guards. What an overweight, filthy hypocrite!

I was suckered in to this one. :) As my my defence, it seemed so real.

Well once you have removed all the guns from law abiding citizens it makes it harder for guns to be stolen. You see how simple it is for moochelle, when you ban the the guns from honest people it is easier to ban the illegal guns!
Weeping First Lady Pushes Chicago to Ban Stolen Guns
Hey Moochie...is it WHITE CRIMINALS KILLING BLACK KIDS or is it BLACK CRIMINALS KILLING BLACK KIDS???? Go to YOUR COMMUNITY and tell them to STOP KILLING and RIOTING!!!
Busiest first buttocks EVAH!!
I just don't know what we'd do without our weeping first 'lady.'
Maybe the Weeper of the House, Rep. Boehner, can join her.
And from what she said, she survived a drive-by when she was shot in the back, just like the woman whom she was and who is she but unfortunately died of the assault.
Deep!
Chicago doesn’t have too many guns, they have too many criminals.
Am I missing something???
You sure have plenty of material to choose from for your Silliness threads these days.
It’s hard to parody this administration. No matter now ridiculous the story, it’s still believable.
