Obama: AK-47s belong on battlefield, not streets
politico ^ | 7/25/12 | DARREN SAMUELSOHN

but Obama's comments suggest he's at least willing to talk about the issue.

“I – like most Americans – believe that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms,” Obama said. “I think we recognize the traditions of gun ownership passed on from generation to generation, that hunting and shooting are part of a cherished national heritage.

“But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers and not in the hands of crooks. They belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities,” he added.

Go ahead, Barry! Do it! Do it! This is how Al Gore lost his home state. This is how he lost Arkansas. This is how you’ll lose every county in Pennsylvania that does not have a major league baseball stadium. Do it, Barry, Do it!!!!

You and I can not buy an “AK-47” or an “M-16” or an “M-4”. We can only buy something that LOOKS like an “AK-47” or an “M-16” or an “M-4”.

So, Barry, that problem is solved!

Must find the photos of the Israeli sweeties at the beach, at the concession stand, walking down the street, all with their assault rifles slung over their shoulders.

Barry, US soldiers don’t use AK-47s. You must be thinking of terrorists and communist countrys, their soldiers use AK-47s.

Do not trust a government that does not want you to have a gun.

Why is the ATF, Police, and ARMY training for battles on the streets of the US?

No - AK47s belong on Mexican streets so I can force my gun control agenda.

Now pay your taxes, Mexican drug gangs need the arms. :)

AK-47’s only belong in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. Not only that, the US government will pay to put them there.

The 2nd isn’t about hunting. If Obama knew anything about the Constitution, he would be aware of this fact.
