If I were to infer that Dear Leader was discussing only illegal guns my response would still be the same- it was likely easier for those terrorists in France to get illegal AK's then illegal Glocks.
And this isn't me just sayin' either- its an educated guess based on the reality that in Mexico, which has strict gun laws, the cartels have no problem getting long guns, but as I understand it, handguns are a premium.
Here's the thing.
The anti-gun left and their doofus First Affirmative Action "President" can say whatever they want about the ease of acquiring firearms- the FACT is, that anywhere the laws are stricter then here, bad people still get guns with ease and regularity.
Ultimately, this is because Pandoras box has been opened, and no matter how much they wish upon their unicorns; firearms, like any other weapon from knives to explosives, aren't going away.
They are here to stay and anyone who wants them can get them despite any law.
You can't "un-invent" these things and they are getting easier and easier to make/acquire year by year. The entire premise that guns can be controlled and that "gun violence" (an oxymoron if there ever was one) can be reduced with gun laws is total bovine excrement. This is not only proven in many foreign nations, but its been proven here by almost 75 years and multiple federal gun laws on the books not having any appreciable effect on violent crime.
Because if they had, we wouldn't still "need more", now would we?
The question is- given such a REALITY, and given the REALITY of life these days- what sane, law-abiding American would want their ability to maintain their law abiding status compromised by a government that does not respect their right to defend themselves and makes laws that hamper only those people who will obey them?
Because thats all "gun control" is about.
Criminals and terrorists don't care.
"Gun control by definition affects only honest people. When a politician tells you he wants to forbid you from owning a firearm or force you to get a license, he is telling you he doesn’t trust you. That’s an insult. ... Gun control is not about guns or crime. It is about an elite that fears and despises the common people."
