Watch Again: President Obama Tells Gun Store Owner That No One Is Coming for His Weapons (Video)
The National Rifle Association's propaganda is preventing us from passing reasonable gun laws, Obama told him.Like clockwork, the value of gun company stock rose multiple points after the Pulse nightclub massacre on Sunday morning that killed 50 people and wounded 53.
As the NRA continues to fuel fears that Democrats will take away Americans’ firearms, let’s make sure everyone hears what President Obama told a gun store owner in early June. Namely, that by funding the political campaigns of lawmakers who refuse to improve gun laws, the NRA and the rest of the gun lobby are ensuring that U.S. policy continues to prioritize profit before life.
