Former President Obama argued in a new interview that gun ownership shouldn’t be a partisan or ideological issue, amid renewed discussions of gun safety legislation in the wake of several recent mass shootings.

“I think somehow — and there are a lot of historical reasons for this — gun ownership in this country became an ideological and a partisan issue in ways that it shouldn’t be,” Obama said in an interview with “CBS Mornings” co-host Nate Burleson set to air next Tuesday.

He’s right. Dems weren’t alwsys crazy. I think it was Hubert Humphrey that said IIA was for protection against a tyrannical government.

[Eagles6]

He's just a puppet, himself.

He's too stupid and lazy to have thought up or implemented any of this, himself.

Jarret is one that whispers in his ear.

Who she gets her marching orders from...Xi, Soros, Schwab...all of the above.

Soetoro emplaced true believers, throughout the fedgov leviathan, who are, now, doing the work of destrying the Republic.

DOJ; FBI, ATF, IRS, intelligence, DOD, EPA, HS... Fundamental transformation donchaknow.

Now, who in the world would invoke partisanship/politics into a constitutionally protected right to bear arms? How about a socialist, like you BO, whose road to power is paved with taking from some to use in buying votes from others. Remember this time your slip was showing, and you spoke your true feelings as to conservatives?

It wouldn’t be a partisan issue if Democrats would leave it alone.

Rush had it right about Puff the magic negro..

I wouldn’t care if Odungo read the telephone book aloud. I ain’t listening.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Maybe he is saying EVERYBODY should own guns? That all Democrats need to get guns?

[ConservativeInPA]

Yes, Gun ownership and use was made partisan by southern Democrats during reconstruction. Freed negroes were not allow to have them.

Read this Obama. It is clear.

Amendment II

I was hoping during Trumps term we would have learned what r already know and those records would be public knowledge under FOIA

[Cen-Tejas]

Once upon a time, when I was paying 18% on prime rate development loans, I thought Carter was THE WORST president the US ever had. Then, Obama the fraud came along and I thought he WAS the worst. I reasoned that at least Jimmy Carter loved his country. Obama doesn’t have a country.

Then, Biden came along and without doubt he is the worst times ten. He makes Carter and Obama look like George Washington. The one indisputable common denominator? Their all Democrats.

Post of the day!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Guns aren't the problem. Negroes in the ghetto with guns are the problem. Round up the criminals in the ghetto with guns, and lock 'em up. I believe that in El Salvador they recently rounded up 40,000 criminals, held a mass trial, and locked them all up in Super Max.

[mikelets456]

“Gun safety” = gun bans

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Hubert Humphrey would be as welcome in today's Democrat party as Tulsi Gabbard.

[xkaydet65]

I disagree. Barky is a bright guy and knows what he wants and IIRC he wasn’t snuck into office. He legitimately won two elections by significant margins. He knew amd knows what he wants without the prodding of Soros and others. He is Edgar Bergen to Biden’s Charley McCarthy.

[Disambiguator]

He’s right, but not in the way he thinks he is.

[nagant]

I agree, Joe, Gun control should not be a partisan issue. The 2nd Amendment couldn’t be any clearer .....”shall not be infringed”.

[Major Matt Mason]

The great constitutional scholar still showing that he has no understanding of the constitution. And yes, despite what some here believe, Obama is still a busy Marxist termite working to destroy this country.
