President Obama Just DESTROYED The NRA’s Lies And Propaganda

For years now, gun nuts across the country have been warning that President Obama has a secret plan to take away their guns. This, of course, is nothing but the fever dream of a deeply paranoid group of extremists who believe that the right to own a gun means the right to own any weapon of mass destruction one wishes to possess, no matter the danger.

Appearing on the PBS show “The News Hour” this week, President Obama took direct aim at the issue of guns in America, and in doing so he completely leveled the ignorance of ammosexuals in America.

A gun store owner, Doug Rhude, asked the President a question during the Q and A session on PBS:

“Knowing that we apply common sense to other issues in our society, specifically like holding irresponsible people accountable for their actions when they drink and drive and kill somebody, and we do that without restricting control of cars and cells phones to the rest of us, the good guys, why then do you and Hillary want to control and restrict and limit gun manufacturers, gun owners and responsible use of guns and ammunition to the rest of us, the good guys, instead of holding the bad guys accountable for their actions?”

President Obama, using logic and rational discourse, told Rhude:

“First of all, the notion that I or Hillary or Democrats or whoever you want to choose are hell-bent on taking away folks’ guns is just not true.

“And I don’t care how many times the NRA says it. I’m about to leave office. There have been more guns sold since I have been president than just about any time in U.S. history. There are enough guns for every man, woman and child in this country.

“And at no point have I ever, ever proposed confiscating guns from responsible gun owners. So it’s just not true.”

Then the President took on the NRA and their political puppets in the Republican Party, noting:

“I just came from a meeting today in the Situation Room in which I got people who we know have been on ISIL Web sites, living here in the United States, U.S. citizens, and we’re allowed to put them on the no-fly list when it comes to airlines, but because of the National Rifle Association, I cannot prohibit those people from buying a gun. This is somebody who is a known ISIL sympathizer. And if he wants to walk in to a gun store or a gun show right now and buy as much — as many weapons and ammo as he can, nothing’s prohibiting him from doing that, even though the FBI knows who that person is.”

Finally, President Obama hit gun fetishists everywhere with a massive dose of truth by saying:

“So, sir, I just have to say, respectfully, that there is a way for us to have commonsense gun laws. There is a way for us to make sure that lawful, responsible gun owners like yourself are able to use them for sporting, hunting, protecting yourself, but the only way we’re going to do that is if we don’t have a situation in which anything that is proposed is viewed as some tyrannical destruction of the Second Amendment. And that’s how the issue too often gets framed.”
