Researchers:

“After receiving your $10 million dollar research grant, we have studied the matter deeply. We have determined that getting hit by a bullet usually has violent results.

“Thanks for the money!”

Obama doesn't dole out money, that is up to congress. Currently it is being done through 'continuing resolutions' but should be done through 'budget reconciliation' by the congress. The president can only veto, pocket veto, or approve what congress has written and give executive orders within the executive branch of government.

These Democrats clearly want Obama to be a King and dole out the money by fiat or by unconstitutional executive orders.

Correction:

“We need $10 Million to put together a report on why common citizens owning guns is bad and scary.”

Thanks, Uncle Sam!

Dems Ask Obama For Millions...

So I guess it’s official now. The White House now appropriates funds, not the House. Constitution? We don’t need no stinking constitution.

Give me $5 million and I’ll write it up. I know what the report will say. It will save $5 million and come to the same conclusion.

They’re not trying to learn anything. They’re asking for ten million bucks to give to friends and relatives.

I’m so confused about this “gun violence” thing.

I have a CCP and have kept a gun in my truck for years. But it never gets violent.

Same with the one in the dresser drawer. Open the drawer and holler at it...nothing.

I’m beginning to wonder about those guns.

OK; got your research right here: most gun violence 1) is black on black and 2) occurs in regions where guns are already illegal.

Pay me.

They can start with Ukraine where police snipers killed civilians.

Obviously there is no sense in asking Congress for these funds. These are Congress critters asking the President for the funds!

Words fail me...

You forgot that most gun violence occurs in areas under demoncrat control.

for “gun violence research

No such thing.
I have carried guns and been around guns for 40 some years and I have never seen nor heard of a gun becoming violent. I have seen and heard many people become violent. If you are going to waste money at least waste iit with some basis in reality!
