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.”

In those neighborhoods you could have a book turret on every corner that shoots free books in every direction 24 hours a day, and those 12-13 year olds would still have no books

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

“Where are all the fact checkers? /crickets”

Facts do not need to be checked if a statement is uttered by a (D), they are deemed to be automatically true.

He just makes up his own statistics. Like the phony 30,000 number of people killed by guns, and left out that 20,000 were suicides.

378 days to go.

The man has no idea what it is like to live in the street or in a ghetto, or a blue collar working area.

Why doesn’t he and his elitist ilk go and live there for a month and see how we have to put up with the crap.

Easier, maybe. Cheaper? Unlikely. You can a paperback book in a drugstore or supermarket for under $10.00, I doubt you can get any kind of gun for that price.

Books are cheap in thrift stores. Free in libraries. The problem is that kids in those neighborhoods WANT guns not books. After Katrina bookstores and libraries were not where looters shopped. If guns are so cheap why would any non thug kid buy one instead of say...candy?

I don't know about that -- I keep looking for my local taxpayer-funded firearms lending library, but I haven't found it yet.

So, lets make it cheaper and easier to get the books and leave the guns alone?

In these neighborhoods the kids know how to shoot a gun. But they don’t know how to read a book. Therefore, there’s no market.
