If he's not getting paid millions by the NRA and the various gun companies, he's getting robbed...no one has caused higher gun sales in world history than Barack the gun peddler.
There is that. Something that Obama pretends doesn't exist. So much for his community agitation accomplishments in Chicago.
Obama doesn't have to pretend that gangbangers aren't murdering each other at a rapid clip in Chicago. That is the one regret that I have with the fact that white America has this scapegoat race to dump all of humankinds failings on. White people kill each other too. Obama shakes his head at the fact of black on black crime and murder. He sheds tears for his friend and colleague Senator Gabrielle Giffords. He weeps for the 18 first graders shot to death in Newtown, CT. He feels like something should finally be done so that white, middle class movie goers do not have to fear being shot in the dark. I mean... carrying a gun into a movie theater is only going to help you if you are the one who intends to open fire first! Until the lights come back on the good guy with the gun is more of a liability than an asset! And I don't buy that we can't go backwards. I don't accept that because the guns are here... oh well... I think the immediate repeal of stand your ground laws would save lives. I think laws mandating the prosecution of anyone who injures or kills another person with a firearm no matter the circumstances would raise the bar for indiscriminate use of a firearm. It won't stop the gang killings....pssst... no one really cares about them! This is about college students, first graders, soccer moms... people like us in P&OC... this is about saving middle class lives and families. It's worth doing. I don't have to worry. As a black, middle class American with an innate antipathy for firearms I'm in the clear. I'm not pounding my computer keyboard endlessly decrying America's gun culture on behalf of myself or my family. I'm lamenting the waste of white lives that are claimed by gun accidents and gun violence. Chances are very good that when a black persons life is cut short by a gun it is complicated by some kind of relationship to criminal activity. Regrettable, yes, but I submit that the bigger tragedy is being the victim of a mall shooting, college shooting, workplace shooting, accidental discharge, etc. all of which affect white, middle class, law abiding Americans much more than they affect any other demographic of Americans.
Maybe he should quit stirring them up.
And disagree, he has an obvious contempt for private ownership of weapons and rights in general.
