Obama Lies About US Gun Laws – Then Gets Awkward Applause

Via ZeroHedge

After collecting a sweet $600,000 for a single speech in Colombia, former President Barack Obama took to the stage at the São Paulo Expo in Brazil, where he lied to the audience about US gun laws. 

“Some of you may be aware our gun laws in the United States don’t make much sense. Anybody can buy any weapon any time,” said Obama – to which the audience erupted in applause, seemingly over Americans’ access to guns.

This is of course false, as not “anybody” can buy a gun “any time.” Federal law restricts the purchase of a handgun through a licensed dealer to those who are 18 or older (18 in most states for long guns), while convicted felons can’t legally own firearms at all.

After the audience died down, Obama continued: “…without much if any regulation, they can buy it over the Internet, they can buy machine guns.

And while guns can be purchased over the internet, Obama lied again when he claimed that there’s ‘little regulation’ to buy online – when in fact a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder must be involved in interstate sales, and that people can buy “machine guns.”

So basically he is whipping up support to disarm us in a foreign country, and remarkably, this does not strike him as problematic.

The “Tropical Trump”, Bolsonaro, is in the process of getting law abiding Brazilians armed. I believe a form of Deplorables took over Brazil too. Might be a good thing.

Hilarious. They clapped enthusiastically in FAVOR of free access to firearms. I noticed he didn’t add his usual bullshit about clinging onto their bibles. They’d have booed his mulatto ass off the stage.

Half-breed, yes, but a muslim, homosexual as well. This guy had all the boxes checked. No wonder he was such a good president (gag)… Being able to lie is a prerequisite in politics, but he/she/it,er this asshole took it to new levels.

Obama has a personality disorder, he is incapable of telling the truth. I will forever be amazed how the US voter never recognized this. On the other hand, they did vote for the black guy and felt good about it.
Next time they will vote for a female or gay socialist (who are liars) to feel good.

There were many claims about this fool yet it is said only 2% of voters had fairly complete info on him. I was one of them and it just f’ing killed me seeing the drooling sycophants hoping for the chance to hurl themselves on the pyre. The deluded ramblings pouring forth. A messiah!

It was some months into Barky’s presidency and I was having a conversation with my extreme lefty uncle. I asked him what he thought about the fact that there were papers submitted to the USSC to challenge Obama’s eligibility, which he knew nothing about. Instead of being curious or igniting even a tiny flame of actual cognitive movement in his brain, he laughingly asked “Where do you get your news?” No, uncle lefty, the question you should be asking is where do you get yours.

Once again, what were the options for president? McCain? Romney? Gack. What interests me more about this lie-fest speech is the ridiculous amount paid to this asshole for giving a speech? He got paid $600K for a speech in Bogota Columbia. What pay-off was he getting and for what? Who paid him? Are we seeing an Obama Foundation in the making? Wonder if he’s getting pointers on pay for play from the Clintons?
He’s making a fortune selling his bullshit via speeches, $400k and up per speech. It begs the question of who, in their right mind, can stand listening to him for more than one minute without throwing up?

Hey, “Maybe” – I will have to look for the specific podcast – cannot remember who said it, but the explanation went like this: The high-dollar speeches are the back-end bribes for all the shady shit* they do while president; they do favors on the front for “free” because . . . politix . . . but get their pay when they leave office.

*my word

Anyway, it seems like the context was the “Uranium One” non-scandal that saw Bill Clinton collect a million and a half-dollars for a speech he gave in Russia . . . while HRC was still Obie’s right hand man. Woman.

Does anyone care what this man has to say? He talked about gun control while he was a stain in the White House, and never got any of it. He was the best salesman the firearms industry had, resulting in a gun circulation possibly as high as 450 million to 600 million guns now owned by the citizens. Here he is hawking lies to a people who he figured would believe what he was saying, believing that they probably didn’t know much about America and so the facts and his lies didn’t matter. Also, he said all of this knowing that his true character is about to be exposed to the American people and history for all of his sordid spying, blackmailing, and its coverup. He could be facing the gallows and he would still self righteous to the bitter end. He is a fine example of a narcissist. The Romans had an a solution for people such as he, and that is the act of “memoriae in damnatio”, backed by the force of law under threat of death and the revulsion of the people against him. I could see him becoming the first person in America to receive this dubious depiction.

When you know on some level that you have robbed a country of its future by invading, you might not want the aggrieved party to be armed.

That explains the Hispanics. Blacks explained by respondents being the unarmed, law abiding portion living amongst feral peers. Whites explained by indoctrination and isolation.

I deleted fakebook years ago and somehow started getting notification on my new ipad. Anyway, went there to delete it again and it showed the Virginia beach shooting. I clicked on cnn, purposefully in my feed and read about it. They refused to mention any specifics about the shooter. It was so odd how they wrote and avoided a description it was painful. I paused and said it must be a black guy or muslim or both. Yup, breitbart had the details. I even called what kinda gun before i read. I said to self, “self, betcha this false flag gonna give Biden talking points…..betcha its a handgun. Betcha a handgun with suppressor”. How right I was. Black dude Dewayne Craddock, handgun suppressor. Next dem pres will remove all but .22 calibers and make many middle class lives miserable with examples of arrest for not doing gun turn ins and also after creating much middle class whitey hate they will be raped and maimed often with no defense. When they do defend themselves they will be prosecuted to set the fear stage of using a weapon to defend. Even though the attacker was using an illegal firearm. I do not wanna lose another bet to self….now, where was I……oh deleting fakebook after misdirection by clicking on cnn……
