Flashback—Obama, Circa 1990s: 'I Don't Believe People Should Be Able to Own Guns'
breitbart.com ^ | 18 January, 2012 | AWR Hawkins

During the 2008 presidential campaign, gun rights author and scholar John Lott recounted meeting Barack Obama for the first time while he was a lecturer at University of Chicago.

When the two met, Lott's reputation on guns preceded him, and Lott claims Obama said, "I don't believe people should be able to own guns."

Read that again, and let it soak in; Barack Obama reportedly said, "I don't think people should be able to own guns." In my correspondence with Lott, he stood by his story.

And there's little reason to doubt Lott's account, especially when you take Obama's history of anti-gun legislation into account.

Well, why doesn’t he go first to the south side of Chicago and ask the gang members there to give up their guns. It would be a good place to start, and he was a community organizer there already...

again - the grand Media should have leveled all this out - and played over and over again prior to Emperor O getting elected the first time - let alone the 2nd...

We all knew that he believed this - wants this - and cannot be trusted to do what is right for the Republic...he also stated - threw his wife - Barack is going to change our traditions (like owning guns???) our history (private citizens owing guns???) we are going to have to move to a different place as a nation (a nation without armed citizens???)

Sounds like she was prepping for what is to come - from the comments he made yrs ago about people not owning guns...

But like always - the MEDIA has failed once more...

The MSM doesn't look for things they don't want to find. And if an ‘inconvenient truth’ is shoved in their little liberal elite faces - they pretend they don't see it.

This story will be ignored.

But yeah, it's ‘the Internet’ that's destroying newspapers, news magazines and MSM credibility... s

The media only thinks that they have succeeded - not failed.

Why? Because they agree with Obama, and are complicit with him in doing everything they can to hide and conceal his true agenda.

Yes, they have failed we Americans. But no, they have magnificently succeeded in their own goals. Deceit is both their and his #1 tool.

Remember what Jesus said about Satan: “he is a liar and the father of lies.......” O and the media are his prime servants.......
