Obama’s Gun-control Hypocrisy Called Out by Alabama Senator
The New American ^ | 11 April 2016 | Bob Adelmann

Posted on 04/12/2016 6:50:00 AM PDT by detective

On March 30, President Obama commuted the prison sentences of 62 criminals, 12 of whom were behind bars for gun-related drug crimes. This was just too much for Alabama’s senior Senator Richard Shelby (R), so the next day Shelby sent a stinging letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch. He asked her about the president’s hypocrisy and demanded answers to questions that he posed to her during a committee hearing back in January. Wrote Shelby:

I have strong concerns that 12 of these 61 individuals were convicted of one, if not more, firearm-related offenses … [including]:

Seven convictions of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime;

Four convictions of possession of a firearm by a felon; and

Two convictions of use of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense.

Obama talks about the need to confiscate guns from honest, law abiding citizens. Then he releases from prison violent high level drug dealers.

Obama is a sick hypocrite.

It is one thing if a firearm were dimply found during a search for illegal drugs and another if they were used against someone else.

It's been reported that some 100 million Americans legally own firearms. With that many guns out there, you'd think there'd be thousands of gun related crimes every day committed by those citizens.

Instead, the overwhelming majority of gun related crimes are committed by thugs who have come by their weapons illegally.

Send enough children, their parents, and grandparents into the government's K-12 socialist-entitlement indoctrination camps what do you get?

Answer: Socialists

Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Slick Willy Clinton, and the ineligible Barrack Hussain Obama.

Socialist-entitlement schools that are compulsory-attendance, compulsory-funded , violate every First Amendment Right, and treat kids like prisoners and we get a nation comfortable with socialism, government compulsion, compulsory-funding of their socialist dreams, and don't mind being prisoners of the state.

Everything that the Big Zero does is about illusion. His legacy will be nothing. His campaign motto of Hope & Change is becoming “hope and disappointment” to those who supported him.

I agree Obama is an enemy of America and has been trying to destroy our country.

I also think Obama is a sociopath and/or a psychopath.

Apparently, obama’s program of BLM-inspired killings has been tapering off and needs a little goose.
