Obama says gun ownership ‘shouldn’t be’ a partisan issue
The Hill ^ | 05/13/2023 | Julia Shapero

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.

You are right about Xerxes. Whips were the main weapon against the waves for him. And I should have used him for my example.

Now back to Caligula....

It has become political issue precisely because his party does not respect constitution and rights of law-abiding citizens. Instead of fighting crimes, his party is fighting guns

I says, “What Obama say smells like that TURD sitting on the pedestal!”

I couldn’t care less what the “Magic Negro,” has to say about anything.

He ia non person and only relevant because his hand is up Biden’s butt and is
speaking, ventriloquist style, every word you hear from “Joe’s” “mouth!”

Sad relevance, that.

Damn right it shouldn’t be! Stop trying to disarm people, and instead do something about crime and mental health.

So conservatives should just give him their guns?

Or start thinking that guns jump up and kill people.

Or pretend that “assault rifle” is a meaningful term?

Ri-ight!

In my ears, this sounds like SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich arguing that loading up Jews into the cattle cars and sending them on their merry way to Auschwitz "shouldn't be a partisan or ideological issue!"

Disgusting!

So why does he make it one?

Maybe the best retort I've encountered in this thread yet!

Bravo!

I think you are confusing Caligula with the Persian Emperor, Xerxes [...]

It became a partisan issue when Feinstein said this back in 1995...

Gun ownership should not be a government issue at all.

The federal government is prohibited by the second amendment from interfering with the citizens rights to keep and carry firearms.

When Osama Obama gives up his 24/7/366 armed protection force I just *might* rethink my attitude toward the 2nd Amendment. But not before.

He is correct.

Gun ownership should not be a partisan issue.

Democrats should support the Constitution. But they don’t.
