During a gun control speech in Colorado on Wednesday, President Obama said first lady Michelle Obama told him while they were campaigning in Iowa that she’d want a gun for self-protection if she lived in a rural area:
“The first conversation was when Michelle came back from doing some campaigning out in rural Iowa. And we were sitting at dinner, and she had been to a big county, a lot of driving out there, a lot of farmland.
“And she said, if I was living out in a farm in Iowa, I’d probably want a gun, too"....

I am from Iowa(live there now) and MOST Iowa crime is comitted by people like the Obamas.
And at that very moment, they were under heavy guard. The irony.
...and that’s coming from a single mother herself. She said so...
My translation.
Sorry, bo, but the farm you’re headed for will not allow you to have a gun.
It’s called a PRISON FARM!!
Yeah, she’s just saying that she finds white men with farmer’s tans to be verrrrry scary!
If he lived on a farm, he’d be banging the cows.
Why would she need a gun?
I’d take her hunting.She could drive a lot of deer out of the woods with that face.
I once though if you cleaned out these areas and gave them a better life, surroundings etc. was one of the answers. I saw differently....
Same city, my son and family lived in a rural development....neighbors knew one another etc. One family sold there house for section 8...in no time old cars dotted the yard, trash all over, boom boxes blaring 24/7....then house two was sold to section 8....Grand exodus thereafter. he area fast went down hill.
The homes were split level modern homes....trashed within a few months.....
You need one in the city more than you need one in the country. The 2nd Amendments says, it don’t matter if you think you need it or not.
If Michelle still lived in Chicago she’d want two!
And two BIG ones!
There have been two articles in the WSJ in the past few weeks, about the gentrification of the area near the art museum and the West River Drive. I always forget what they call it, but I am familiar with the area.
The articles were about a new wave of gentrification, slackers instead of baby boomers moving in. The first wave of gentrification took place before the Black Panther movement with the very earliest baby boomer graduate students, who all considered themselves to be the most open minded and brightest people in the world. I guess that the as those baby boomers got older, the ones that stayed became less tolerant and more cloistered in their gentrified neighborhood with defined boundaries. Those boundaries defined the culture of the neighborhood, not the color of the skin.
Anyway, not everyone was quite so open minded when that neighborhood was first gentrified. I remember sitting outside the art museum, waiting for my friend’s father to pick us up and spotting a sign on a new high rise apartment building for an adult only apartment building. The sign said, For the buyer with discriminating tastes. I never forgot it. I couldn’t believe that they got away with that kind of double entendre. A few years later, there was a train trestle in North Philadelphia that someone had painted with graffiti that said Marcia Black, is a N——. She was the first Black news reporter on tv in Philadelphia and the Blacks hated her because she was too White. That might not have been her last name, but her first name was Marcia.
