Someone who hasn&#8217;t bought a computer or a book.<\/p>\n<p>The President&#8217;s remarks do nothing for the memory of the slain officers, and nothing for the rights of Americans who legally own guns, nor does it do anything for inner-city youths who need books and computers. He just gave them an excuse to fall further into poverty and crime.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it was a bald-faced plea for stricter background checks, as if the transfer of guns in inner-cities are being conducted by legal gun dealers and most of those transfers are already illegal by current laws. Stricter background checks won&#8217;t affect those transfers from the trunks of cars and in darkened alleyways.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in <a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/baton-rouge-gun-burglary-tied-plot-attack-police\/story?id=40531402\">Baton Rouge, Louisiana<\/a> yesterday, a 13-year-old, a 17-year-old and a 20-year-old were arrested after they burglarized a pawn shop there and stole six guns.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Investigators recovered two of the stolen handguns from 23-year-old Trashone Coats, who allegedly purchased them illegally on the street, police said. He was charged with illegal possession of a stolen firearm. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How was he arrested? Because he had already broken laws by buying a firearm on the street. I don&#8217;t see teenagers breaking into pawn shops to steal books or computers. <\/p>\n<p>By the way, the thieves intended to kill cops with their ill-gotten firearms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President took the opportunity yesterday to turn a memorial service for the fallen officers in &hellip; <a title=\"&#8220;Easier&#8230;to buy a Glock than&#8230;a computer or&#8230;a book&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=66814\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;Easier&#8230;to buy a Glock than&#8230;a computer or&#8230;a book&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40472,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=66814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66814\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/40472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=66814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=66814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=66814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
