President Obama this morning issued a video response to a White House petition demanding more gun control – specifically mentioning America’s gun culture.

**SNIP**

“If we work harder to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, there would be fewer atrocities like the one in Newtown — or any of the lesser-known tragedies that visit small towns and big cities all across America every day,” Obama concluded.

Hey Oblammo - disarm your homies in the ‘hood & the narco gangters, then we’ll talk about weapons in the hands of law abiding citizens.

Not before.

He definitely isn't criticizing the gangbanger culture.

It would be nice if those who follow that communist thug would listen to him and disarm. As for real Americans, we will continue to exercise our right to keep and bear arms.
