In Obama’s ridiculous Town Hall last night, Obama slammed the NRA and all those who agree with the organization, calling them “conspiracy theorists.
The president was responding to a question by retired NASA astronaut Mark Kelly, who said gun control critics have warned that expanding background checks for gun buyers would “lead to a registry, which will lead to confiscation, which will lead to a tyrannical government.”
Here’s how Obama responded:
OBAMA: Now, there’s a long history of that, that’s in our DNA, you know? The United States was born suspicious of some distant authority…
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: … now, let me just jump in here, is it fair to call it a conspiracy…
OBAMA: … well, yeah…
COOPER: … because a lot of people really believe this deeply, that they just don’t…
OBAMA: … no…suggesting
COOPER: … they just don’t trust you.
OBAMA: I’m sorry, Cooper, yes. It is fair to call the conspiracy, what are you saying? Are you that the notion that we are creating a plot to take everybody’s guns away so that we can impose martial law…
COOPER: … not everybody, but there’s certainly a lot of…OBAMA: … but a conspiracy? Yes, that is a conspiracy! I would hope that would agree with that.(APPLAUSE)
OBAMA: Is that controversial? Except on some website…
The website he is referring to is Infowars, a conservative site that has never been afraid to call Obama out. Go figure!OBAMA: Is that controversial? Except on some website…
