Barack Obama Gets Pushback on Twitter After Calling for More Gun Control
2023-06-04
[Breitbart] Barack Obama called for more gun control and got significant pushback on Twitter on Friday, which was National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

His call for more gun control was coupled with calls to support Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety.

Another Twitter follower posted a photo of Obama skeet shooting that had been photo-shopped to add a detachable magazine and an adjustable rear stock to the firearm.

Twitter user @KCPayTreeIt pointed to President Biden, referring to him as Obama’s “guy,” and asked Obama to quit talking about “gun violence” when Biden left stockpiles of weaponry in Afghanistan that have been seized by the Taliban and left our Southern border unsecured.

Others posted photos of deceased Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and pointed to Operation Fast and Furious, an Obama-era operation in which over 2,000 guns were smuggled into Mexico.

Agent Terry came under gunfire and was killed while on duty December 14, 2010. Two Operation Fast and Furious rifles were found at the scene where Terry was killed.

Related: The Twitter thread in question. The poor man just intended to chime in with an anodyne comment on the subject of the day, not putting any thought into the Zeitgeist beyond his own immediate circle. But he ever had a tin ear.

#1  When Obama was elected, I remember having the impression that he was someone’s puppet. To my memory, only Trump and Reagan seemed to act independently. They had people that influenced them but I was sure that they weren’t running someone else’s playbook. Obama now seems like Pinocchio staging a puppet show.
