Obama: Americans Should Have Background Checks To Buy Guns, But Not ISIS Allies

After the shooting in San Bernardino, California, the Left is calling for more strict gun control in the state with some of the most comprehensive gun control laws in the country.

“In California, we have tough gun laws; I don’t know how these weapons [involved in the shooting] got where they were… we’ll find out,” Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said on the Senate floor Thursday. “And people say, well, we have these gun laws but look at this: we’ve had a 56% reduction in gun violence since 1993 in my great state because we have taken action.”

But the significant decline in violent crimes since the mid-1990s occurred all over the U.S., not just California, and that decline coincided with an increase in private gun ownership.

…

Despite all these facts, leftists are still pushing for more gun control, but when President Obama approved the re-arming of Syrian rebels affiliated with ISIS, he didn’t demand they undergo strict background checks and waiting periods before receiving their firearms.

In fact, the president armed the Syrian opposition on Oct. 1, the same day Obama suggested the U.S. should start banning guns after the Umpqua Community College shooting.

“The approval came at a National Security Council meeting…,” CNNreported. “…The President also emphasized to his team that the U.S. would continue to support the Syrian opposition as Russia enters the war-torn country.”

You can always rely on the Left to throw common sense and shortsightedness into a blender and get everything mixed up. The surest way to ensure America’s safety against violent extremism is to ensure American’s have more access to guns, not less. And the surest way to ensure ISIS’ continued danger to the world is to arm as many of their affiliates as possible. Obama is making the world more dangerous, and liberals love him for it.
