Obamessiah No Likey Assault Weapons

I missed this a couple of weeks back but it's still important enough to highlight now:

"We need to express our collective anger through collective action," Obama said.

He said the government needs to permanently reinstate an assault weapons ban and close regulatory loopholes that protect unscrupulous gun dealers.

Ooh, I have a suggestion. You may also want to outlaw crossbows, Senator, because they're scary looking and about as relevant to the national murder rate as assault rifles are.

That one's coming back to bite you, BO. It's not some weekend hobby-shooter with a tricked out AR-15 who returns from a day of popping prairie dogs and decides, hey, I ought to stick up the Honk & Holler. On the other hand, that fellow is probably very politically active and gives a lot of money to politicians who promise to leave him alone. And now he's got a bee in the ol' bonnet about you.

We already know what the Clintons think about gun control. Now we've heard enough about the other leading Democrat. In case you, gentle reader, or a gun-owning friend were thinking about switching over and voting Democratic this election, here's one more great reason not to.

The Obamessiah, meanwhile, ascended onto the mountain and spake unto the multitude that had gathered:

"We have an entire generation of young men in our society who have become products of violence, and we are going to have to break the cycle," Obama said. "There are too many young men out there who have gone down the wrong path."

He later added, "There's a reason they go out and shoot each other, because they don't love themselves. And the reason they don't love themselves is because we are not loving them enough."

Somewhere over in Iraq, Scott Thomas Beauchamp just read those words and thought, man, now that is some top-quality bulls**t!
