I would guess Obama would have settled for something along the lines of...
"Because you are suffering from on-going mental health issues, have an IQ of -70, and are incapable of coherent speech, you cannot have a gun"
Was only 2015 or last year, the Governor of Texas, (yes the Governor!) made a statement based upon an internet rumour that the Federal Government was massing troops at Fort Bragg ready to move in and take away "their guns". The absolute lunacy of such a senior politician saying he believed this report was compounded by his threats to oppose it with the state troopers. What was worse was the media and others whipping up the idea that Texas could secede as a response
Turned out it was summer manoeuvre time in what is, I think, one of, if not the largest, military bases in the US.
And who can remember the Tea Party Darling from Alaska, Sarah Palin, shouting "the British are coming to take our guns"
Crazy!
So long as the gun industry supports the campaigns of so many politicians at all levels, then they are going to continue to have the power to brainwash the majority of people for the need for 'protection' against the very weapons that their 'rights' guarantee.
