Obama: In Some Neighborhoods It’s Cheaper and Easier For Kids To Get a Gun Than a Book Jenna Lifhits

BY: Follow @jlifhits January 7, 2016 8:44 pm

In a CNN town tall special on Thursday, President Obama said that there are some neighborhoods in America where it is easier and cheaper for kids to purchase guns than books.

“Part of the reason, I think, that this ends up being such a difficult issue, is because people occupy different realities,” he said. “There are a whole bunch of law-abiding citizens who have grown up hunting with their dad or going to the shooting range, and are responsible gun owners, and then there is the reality that there are neighborhoods around the country where it is easier for a 12 or 13-year-old to purchase a gun, and cheaper, than it is for them to get a book.”

It is cheaper to steal a gun than to buy a book.

Quote from the piece: He also quipped this week that as someone who once taught Constitutional law, he knows a little bit about the Second Amendment.

A really little bit, even for a quipper. One wonders if he taught logic. Can you imagine him saying in court that he knows of neighborhoods where guns are cheaper than books.

IF the first black President cared,

THEN how could have gone once a week to schools in these neighborhoods to speak directly to children about the importance of education.

By now he could have motivated children in over 350 elementary schools, middle schools, secondary schools.

IF he cared.

Try to find a bookstore in Baltimore or Oakland.

That’s because books don’t sell.

Once again, the feckless fool on the hill shows what he really is: an incorrigible, pathological ideologue and liar, concerned about nothing more than political advancement of his Marxist Weltanschauung.

All he knows -- is that he doesn't like it.

“Which neighborhoods exactly would that be? Hmmm?”

Mexico, where guns are illegal.

Wow. My small city (of 90K) has a library which only has books and perhaps some videos. Which city has guns for loan? Do they have ranges for target practice also?

Yeah, like Chicago. I remember getting my liberal co-workers very angry back in 2008 when I said that Obama would do for America what he did for Chicago.... then I said, “So what did he do for Chicago?”

Picturing in my mind some kid looking all over the neighborhood for a book, and he can’t find any book, so he gets a gun, and becomes a bad guy. /s
