Obama: Gun ownership in this country became an ideological,...partisan issue (Read 973 times)

I find it difficult to listen to anything this person says on guns and 2A rights when he grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii.  He said he was born in Hawaii in 1961, moved to Indonesia with his mother and step-father in 1967, and back to Hawaii in 1971.  He didn't move the the mainland -- LA -- until 1979.

Without growing up on the mainland, he was never part of the "gun culture" of the US and all that that entails -- in particular the rights and freedoms associated with that culture.

Living in Chicago in later years  probably only gave him the negative side of guns given the crimes that happen there so often.   O0

He has the right to an opinion, but he doesn't get to tell the rest of us that our opinions founded in the Constitution and centuries of historical demonstration of the need for guns when fighting tyranny are wrong.

At around 6:20 or so of the video Colin mentioned about what Obama said about cars.  Makes huge sense.  Gotta be careful of people with the gift of gab.  They are great with words, but their words are hollow.

Obama in my opinion is a perfect example of a spin doctor. 
Sometimes you gotta know when to save your bullets.

People who like him tend to forget about all his lies which had major impacts on our income, Cops, etc.

He obviously did this fake interview with that person because they shared the same views on guns.  Nobody to challenge his assertions and conclusions to his face, and I'm sure any comments on the interview will escape his notice.
