Ex-president Obama went on CBS this morning to lobby once again for gun control. Totalitarians always want to disarm the populace. He cited school shootings. AP said school shootings from Columbine to today have resulted in 175 deaths.
Columbine was 24 years ago. That’s 7 a year.
Last weekend, thugs shot and killed 12 people in Chicago alone. Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the nation — and the most murders.
School shootings with rifles are not the problem. Drive-by gang shootings with handguns are.
Obama has ignored Chicago’s shooting sprees throughout the 20 years he has been in the public spotlight as a senator, president and now, thankfully, ex-president. Chicago’s murders matter to him as part of the statistics that he uses to justify the confiscation of firearms.
