"Flooded with Guns"

"We flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than get his hands on a computer or even a book."  President Obama

This statement is like a bullshit onion--you keep peeling away layers of bullshit to try to get to a nugget of truth, but there's nothing there.

Who's flooding these communities? What do you mean "we," Kemosabe? I don't remember flooding any black communities with guns.

The funny thing is, I grew up in a community "flooded with guns." As a kid I had access to two .357 magnum revolvers, a 9mm Luger, a .22 revolver, and a .22 rifle, plus ammo.  My dad was a cop, but we weren't by any means the most heavily-armed family in the block. Other kids' dads were fond of deer hunting, so they had .30-06 rifles and 12 gauge shotguns for pheasant, among other firearms. Every kid on my block had access to guns.

If you're the slow-witted person who believes anything president Barry says you're expecting me to talk of the carnage that traumatized me as a child, the shootings, the killings, the sound of gunfire causing me to toss and turn at night, the bleeding bodies sprawled on the street, my survivor's guilt at being one of the few kids in my block to make it to adulthood, etc.

My neighborhood was crime free. There was zero gun violence of any kind. As kids we roamed the neighborhood freely.

The problem isn't guns; the problem is dysfunctional neighborhoods where almost everyone votes for Obama. Get rid of Obama voters, and the crime rate drops to near zero.

Why do background checks? Why bother closing the imaginary "gunshow loophole"?  I propose a simpler test: anybody who voted for Obama should be denied a gun.
