As long as you can go in some neighborhoods and it is easier for you to buy a firearm than it is for you to buy a book, there are neighborhoods where it is easier for you to buy a handgun and clips than it is for you to buy a fresh vegetable, as long as that’s the case, we’re going to continue to see unnecessary violence,” Obama said in a response to a question at the town hall meeting at Benedict College.

when he’s suppose to know, he hasn’t a clue..(security briefings)......where ever his nose doesn’t belong, the only thing stopping his head from being totally engulfed is his massive ears.

Because they are not even trying to take guns from violent criminals. They plan to take them from non-violent individuals and let criminals keep theirs.

It's easier to get murdered in a city with gun control than it is to hear anything intelligent spoken by the President of the United States.

People say we should have firearms in kindergarten and have machine guns in bars. You think I’m exaggerating,” Obama said.

No, I don't think you're exaggerating, I think you're lying your ass off.

Good! It should be easier to buy a gun than a rudabagah or his ghost- written fake biographies. Without our guns, he would have finished enslaving us years ago. Just as our Founding Fathers feared might happen someday.

Why doesn’t Valerie Jarrett put her sock puppet in a box so we don’t have to listen to him? Or did she write these words for her boy-child’s teleprompter?

The market always meets demand. Urban zombies do not buy books, period. Neither do they buy fresh vegetables, since ready-to-eat junk food provides instant gratification and can be purchased via EBT. "Cookin'? Ain't nobody got time fo dat!" Moreover, urban zombies pay more for everything, since merchants brave enough to cater to them know that they will steal as soon as the month's entightamint is depleted. Markets factor such risks and price accordingly.

And it will be easier, especially in Ferguson, once Holder dismantles the police force...

""Neighborhoods," eh? Did he also use the term "folks" or did I subconsciously edit it out?

Yeah, there are probably "neighborhoods" like that today. There were also neighborhoods like that about 50 years ago in the "city" near my hometown. What they had most in common was a subset of Americans I will call "demographic x."

"Demographic x" had - and still has - no need for books and no desire for books; in most cases they appear to have an outright disdain for books. This even though with books there is no requirement for a Form 4473, or NICS, or any waiting period, or Pittman-Robertson tax, or concealed carry restrictions, or… whatever. But those of "demographic x" seem to have a predilection for dispensing with such tight-assery. When you get a piece the "neighborhood" way, it probably is about as easy as buying - or possibly stealing - a book, at least as far as the bureaucracy is concerned.

That neighborhood of yore which I referenced was razed and converted to a recreational area almost fifty years ago, but its residents managed to colonize and turn other areas of the city into replicas of the old "Demographic x" neighborhood. When I happen to visit that area and read its city paper for old times' sake, some of the same surnames continue to be found in the police record, and none of the incidents - then or now - seem to involve bibliophilic crimes. Shooting and slashing still don't need to worry about being overshadowed by a sudden urge to read Shakespeare.

Think of it- a half century of assuring "demographic x" that their excreta doesn't offend the nostrils, along with billions of dollars in tribute (extracted from "demographic y" by force if need be)... yet not only does "demographic x" still seem to prefer a spuriously-obtained gun trade over the book trade, but it now openly glorifies the worst sort of misuse of guns… albeit these days with the approval of entertainment industry executives/investors (who represent all demographics, and who know the one thing that really matters: lots and lots of money).

Oh, so FRESH VEGETABLES, BOOKS, and JOBS are the key to ending violence worldwide, eh?

I think he's got it backwards: the type of people who like vegetables, books, and jobs, are generally the type who don't engage in drugs, violence, jihad, gangs, etc. It's not an if-you-build-it-they-will-come thing. It's a culture thing. Some cultures prefer farms, factories, schools and libraries... some cultures prefer nightclubs and liquor stores.

As long as the democrat controlled city of Chicago, among others continues to deny Wal mart the right to open a superstore in the city, no democrat has the right to complain about the lack of fresh veggies.

Signed, sealed and NOT delivered. Does anybody know anything about him? Where are his profs, classmates, ex-girl friends/boy friends, associates, Jiffy Mart clerks who saw him or sold him rolling papers................. crickets. Of course it’s just a tad late now.

I didn’t know I could purchase a gun, right next to the fruits and vegetables.

Hell, I must need glasses.

Cuz, I’ve never seen em.

In fact, judging by his observation and pronouncement, it may not be so far in the future before I have to wait 10 days to pick up my tomatoes, cumbers, apples before I can take them home and push them past my maw and down my gullet.

Is he, in his twisted reasoning, getting ready to declare a “War on Produce”???

Yeah, it’ll come to be known by its snappy acronym as “WOP”.
