In a recent interview on the BBC, President Barack Hussein Obama said: “If you look at the number of Americans killed since 9/11 by terrorism, it’s less than 100. If you look at the number that have been killed by gun violence, it’s in the tens of thousands.”
So, gun ownership by Americans is one hundred times more dangerous than Islamic terrorism, eh Mr. President?
Are you willfully ignoring that the law-abiding gun owners in America don’t commit these murders and violence?
Everyday Americans know and understand that. We aren’t stupid. We recognize that a gun in the home is a net positive to that home’s safety and security from violent criminal actors.
Obama also lamented: “The United States of America is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient common-sense, gun-safety laws.”
That’s because the vast majority of Americans know that guns save life, and further gun laws only impact the law-abiding. Criminals ignore gun laws, just like they ignore laws against robbery, rape, murder and so forth. Criminals don’t follow the law. That’s why we call them criminals.
Despite only a tiny minority of Americans supporting his position, Obama still clings bitterly to his desire for gun control, also telling the BBC, this “is not something that I intend to stop working on in the remaining 18 months.”
Maybe you should continue working on it, to distract you from more projects like shipping guns into Mexico illegally, arming Islamic terrorist groups in north Africa (Libya) and the Middle East and giving nuclear arms to Iran.
Obama’s bitterness is one reason everyday Americans are embracing gun ownership and buying guns in record numbers.
As Breitbart reported, gun manufacturing has more than doubled since Obama took office. It’s risen by 140%, to nearly 14 million guns each year.
That’s a lot of new gun owners.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is reporting that gun production has more than doubled during the Obama presidency, increasing “140 percent.”
This jump is based on 2013 production numbers, which is the most recent year where complete numbers are available.
According to The Hill, the gun industry manufactured approximately “4.5 million firearms” the year before Obama entered office. In 2013 the number manufactured was “13.8 million.”
He’s also bitterly clinging to his Muslim religion.
I guess when you never term any killing as terrorism, and call it workplace violence or crap like that, your number of terror deaths is going to be way low, isn’t it?
Moron.
It just means that one of his “side deals” with Iran is their promise not to attack the USA until after he has left office and is safely ensconced in his compound in Hawaii.
what do you want from a black Muslim
Nuttin’ honey.
Obama doesn’t love America.
In other news, water is wet.
We’ve got such a classy president.
“If you look at the number of Americans killed since 9/11 by terrorism, it’s less than 100. If you look at the number that have been killed by gun violence, it’s in the tens of thousands.”
so…are the men and women in our armed forces killed by insurgents not American enough to be counted as those dead? WTF?
