Obama Down Plays That Taking Away Everybodys Guns Has Nothing To Do With Martial Law President Barack Obama has said a lot of ridiculous things throughout his time in the White House, but his recent Town Hall appearance with Anderson Cooper might have topped the list. While discussing gun rights in American, Obama bluntly criticized the NRA and everyone who agrees with the organization, calling them conspiracy theorists. He denied any plot that his administration is creating a plot to take everybodys guns away so that we can impose martial law. Specifically, he replied directly to a comment that was made by retired NASA astronaut Mark Kelly, who argued that expanding background checks for gun buyers would lead to a registry, which will lead to confiscation, which will lead to a tyrannical government. The United States was born suspicious of some distant authority, Obama told Cooper. He then agreed that it was fair to call this a conspiracy. Is that controversial? he asked, as if anyone who suspects his intentions were crazy. Obama may act like these claims are ridiculous, but he still has a lot of evidence to disprove if he wants Americans to trust him.
