Obama said:
“I, like most Americans, believe that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms. I think we recognize the traditions of gun ownership that passed on from generation to generation…. but I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals; that they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities.”
He wants AK-47s in the hands of soldiers, except it’s not our soldiers who use AK-47s. They’re used mainly by the guys shooting at our soldiers. So Obama wants to arm our enemies! Someone check and makes sure Eric Holder didn’t start a Fast and Furious program in the Middle East too.
* Prostitution is known as “the world’s oldest profession” and thrives today despite the fact that it has long been illegal.
* Murder has always been illegal, yet it thrives – especially in places like Chicago and New York, where criminals know that law-abiding citizens are unarmed.
* Rape has always been illegal, yet there are countless rapes every day…again, especially in places like Chicago and New York, where criminals know their victims are unarmed.
* Coming across the American border without proper paperwork is illegal, yet we’ve got millions of Mexicans, etc. in the country illegally.
* …etc., etc. …
Are there really still people who are so stupid that they think making something “illegal” makes criminals stop doing it? Ignoring laws is what criminals do for a living…
Best scene from 1986 movie Right of the People:
(speech at the end was cut short – dang it.)
