It's an insult and slap in the face to every gun owner in America now that Obama, Clinton and the Democratic Party are pushing for more gun control.
Take a look at Obama's hometown of Chicago. Mayor Rahm Emanuel, whom Obama hand-picked to run for mayor in 2009, made matters worse with the city's shootings and killings, even with its very strict gun control laws. But you don't hear major networks-ABC/CBS/NBC/HLN/CNN-talk about Chicago. Let's talk about Chicago's shootings and killings.
