And you don\u2019t. That\u2019s why you\u2019re not backing his play. We know he cares, in spite of the fact that he didn\u2019t use his original House majority and Senate veto-proof majority\u00a0to push gun control. We know he cares, in spite of the fact that murder rates are up in virtually every major American city. We know he cares because he has tears.<\/p>\n<p>And The Messiah\u2019s tears will heal cancer, stop global warming, and prevent gun violence. If you wanted The Messiah not to cry, you\u2019d simply give him what he wants.<\/p>\n<p>Obama repeatedly complained that Americans who opposed his foolhardy and unconstitutional broad gun confiscation agenda, or any of his myriad foolhardy executive actions of today, simply don\u2019t care enough about dead children. This is the same man who was willing to shut down the government to ensure that women would have taxpayer dollars to murder their own children in the womb. Most obviously, though, he blamed everyone but criminals and terrorists for gun violence. He blamed the NRA. He blamed Republicans. He blamed politicians who \u201cwant to win elections\u201d \u2013 which is a way of blaming voters.<\/p>\n<p>He lied about current federal policy, over and over again \u2013 he stated that you could purchase a gun online without a background check, for example. He explained that he would fight suicide, caused apparently by guns, although suicide has escalated radically under Obama\u2019s watch.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entity entity-bean bean-image-advertisment\"><\/div>\n<p>Obama said that Republicans wanted those on the terror watch list to have guns for no reason, even though there is such a thing as <em>due process <\/em>in the United States. Of course, he also shrugged off the Second Amendment as something \u201con paper\u201d and said that since we restrict First Amendment and Fourth Amendment rights, we should certainly do so with Second Amendment rights. He said that the Second Amendment was like shouting fire in a crowded theater, which is not only bad law, but bad logic. He bragged that he taught Constitutional Law \u2013 which, as anyone who has attended law school knows, has nothing to do with the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>And then, most ridiculously, he compared gun control to giving women the right to vote and ending slavery. Except that disarming black people and women has always been a goal for those who hate black people and women.<\/p>\n<div id=\"in-article-related-content\">\n<h3>RECOMMENDED FOR YOU<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div class=\"img\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/2385\/tearful-dictator-ben-shapiro\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/11small\/public\/uploads\/2016\/01\/barack_obama_cries_ap.jpg?itok=649dvrPG\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/2385\/tearful-dictator-ben-shapiro\">The Tearful Dictator<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"author\">BEN SHAPIRO<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"img\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/2397\/heres-comprehensive-list-obamas-gun-control-lies-aaron-bandler\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/11small\/public\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ap289551185261.jpg?itok=_owEU0aS\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/2397\/heres-comprehensive-list-obamas-gun-control-lies-aaron-bandler\">Here\u2019s a Comprehensive List Of Obama\u2019s Gun Control Lies<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"author\">AARON BANDLER<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"img\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/2368\/want-know-real-reason-obamas-pushing-gun-control-ben-shapiro\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/11small\/public\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ap322279651813.jpg?itok=EWQfvofS\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/2368\/want-know-real-reason-obamas-pushing-gun-control-ben-shapiro\">Want to Know The Real Reason Obama&#8217;s Pushing Gun Control?
