Buried in the president’s latest commutation of federal prisoners was the fact that 8 of those being pardoned were convicted of offenses involving firearms. Funny, given that Obama and liberals want to treat law-abiding Americans like criminals for wanting to exercise their right to bear arms. Guess the Second Amendment only extends to felons convicted of drug trafficking and other illicit activities in their eyes:
“’What President Obama has done for commutations is unprecedented in the modern era,’ said White House Counsel Neil Eggleston.
Eggleston posted the announcement via the White House blog Friday, praising Obama’s leniency toward convicted felons:
Following last Thursday’s grant of 98 commutations, today, President Obama granted commutation to another 72 federal inmates. In just an eight-day period, the President has issued two rounds of grants, totaling 170 commutations. With today’s grants, the President has now commuted the sentences of 944 individuals, including 324 life sentences.
Of the 72 convicted felons to receive commuted sentences, 8 were convicted of firearms offenses including carrying a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking crime, felon in possession and illegal possession of firearm by felon.
Obama has granted clemency to more convicted felons than any other president in history and plans on granting even more commutations before he leaves the White House in January.'”
