Riiiiight.
If only one politician had the backbone to stand up and say, “Yes Mr. President, in a neighborhood controlled by criminals it is easy to buy a gun without going through the registration and permitting process required by law of law abiding citizens. Instead of pointing out the obvious, why don’t we have a real conversation about the reasons it is easy to buy guns from criminals in communities where there is no bookstore or a grocery store selling fresh produce. Could it be the government paid community organizers and activists do nothing to organize the people against the criminals. Could it be a culture that promotes dependency, glorifies sexual permissiveness, disdains education and self improvement, and punishes snitching? Could it be the community leaders benefit from the criminal activity? Is it coincidental that the centers of gun violence, and widespread availability of unlicensed firearms are the inner cities with the toughest handgun laws in the country? Why is it that anti-gun legislation plus the spending of billions of dollars on the criminal justice system and social programs has not eradicated the problem of gun violence in the inner city?”
Will John McCain stand up? How about Lindsay Graham? Jeb Bush? Chris Christie? Marco Rubio? Scott Walker? John Boehner? Mitch McConnell? How about ex presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush? Will no one challenge the lies and distortions?
Is Obama smoking crack or just doing bong hits with Eric Holder again?
Of course they are. In fact, the obama "just us" department was giving them away free.
One of the “neighborhoods” where that is true is Ferguson MO. And Team Obama is making sure it will continue to be true in perpetuity.
Forget 0bama’s strawman argument. Let’s ask him his going price for a vote!
Shouldn't we be asking what the hell is wrong with those "neighborhoods"?
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.
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?
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).
Mr. niteowl77
Next he will try to ban ammo for my potato cannon.
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.
