Speaking at Benedict College in South Carolina on March 6, President Obama said the “Second Amendment … is important,” that it is “part of our culture” and “part of who were are.” Then he quickly added, “But what we also have to recognize is, is that our homicide rates are so much higher than other industrialized countries–by like a mile.”
So, the Second Amendment is important but…
Moreover, Obama hinted that the individual right to bear arms–the very right protected by the Second Amendment–is the result of a Supreme Court interpretation. On June 22, Breitbart News reported that The Washington Post espoused this same liberal talking point, claiming that the Supreme Court created an individual right to keep and bear arms via the District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) decision.
In other words, prior to 2008, there was no individual right to keep and bear arms. It wasn’t what our Founding Fathers intended and it wasn’t what generation upon generation of Americans from 1791 to 2008 believed and lived by. It’s all based on a decision by a group of justices.

Check the stats from Chicago, St. Louis, etc...
YOU LIE!
LOL!
Homicide rate is highest where guns are banned, and especially in “gun-free” zones.
Pinko commie Fag tactics.
So, you see, Preezy Valley Girl, The Second Amendment is there so we can protect ourselves from tyrants. You never know. We may unwittingly elect one one day.
You beat me to the excellent Bill Whittle video. :-)
In Mexico, obama murder totals over 400 men, women and children from the weapons he sold to drug cartels.
What is this? What is the legend to the colors? Is it something about homicide rates?
And then there's Fast & Furious.
Thank you, as expected.
Facts are stubborn things to be ignored by oblabla.
Yes, gun violence among black people is very high.
Yes, many black people seem to need a government that "helps" them from cradle to grave. (Am I a racist?)
It will be a wonder to behold the day that Obama says something which is actually TRUE.
Maybe he should look at the ACTUAL DATA like Bill Whittle did:
“Throw out the black/Hispanic drug gang shootings, and we become Norway.”

...without the Muslim rapes. Of course, those may be on their way if the Obama regime and their Muslim Brotherhood cohorts continue their importation of Muslim “refugees”.
Murder Rate for Black Americans Is Four Times the National Average

He never mentions the gangsta rap culture, that would offend too many democrats. If someone is going to shoot you the odds are really good he’ll be a rapper.
If it weren't for the 'black community' our homicide rates would be LOWER than other industrialized countries.
The black community' IS the problem in our time - NOT other races owning guns to protect themselves.
Our violent crime rate is directly attributable to the black race here
And a bit to Latinos as well
It’s that simple...he lies
If you compare white violent crime rate to white homogeneous nations ours is similar and even lower than many
One never sees anything resembling accurate statistics as whites are conflated with Mexicans and all the South American population so as to skew the stats.
