Obama’s Statement about Guns in Ferguson Makes Absolutely ZERO Sense

Only liberals think this makes any sense.

In an effort deescalate tensions in Ferguson, Obama advised those in the suburban Missouri town to “stop carrying guns.”

Huh?

Even worse was the context in which Obama delivered that command.

While at a press conference, the Chicago Tribune recorded him saying the following.

While I understand the passions and the anger that arise over the death of Michael Brown, giving in to that anger by looting or carrying guns, and even attacking the police, only serves to raise tensions and stir chaos. It undermines, rather than advancing, justice.

Two of the things he mentioned there are very good ideas.

Don’t attack the police, and don’t steal what isn’t yours. Those are both crimes.

The other thing, carrying a gun, is not.

See what he did there.

The president tried to equate carrying a gun to being the same things as attacking a cop or looting.

Sadly, that’s how liberals want Americans to think of gun ownership. They want the carrying of a gun to be equated with the commission of a crime.

But more often than not, guns are used to prevent crime and carry out justice. You know that just as well as the next 2nd Amendment defender.

But liberals just don’t get it.

Shop owners across the city of Ferguson stood outside their stores with guns so they wouldn’t be robbed. That’s justice.

Store owners who didn’t use guns saw much of their inventory depleted by masked criminals who marched in without fear. And that’s because no gun = no chance of getting shot.

And as Guns’n'Freedom noted:

It’s sad and ironic that our president would even use the tragedy and subsequent fallout in Ferguson as an excuse to demonize guns in the hands of civilians, when the dead teen everyone is protesting over here was completely unarmed and shot at least six times by a police officer, including two shots to the head.

So, according to Obama, a town that is angrily protesting what they feel is a shooting murder at the hands of the police of an unarmed teenager should just give up all their guns altogether… so that the only people who have guns in that town are those same police?

Why would anyone in Ferguson want to be able to personally protect themselves? It’s not like the police are driving down city streets in mine resistant, ambush protected tanks straight off the battlefields of Afghanistan, equipped with .50 cals, LRAD weapons, tear gas, and rubber bullets or anything…

It’s not like Obama doesn’t have a brain in his skull.

In fact, it’s exactly the opposite.

The man is cunning, and only an evil genius would think to make gun owners out to be the bad guys in a situation like this.
