Ammo Grrrll prefeaces A LEGACY OF LUDICROUS LIES with this note: “My second installment in the ‘Conversation on Race’ will appear next week. The Dallas memorial service was the same day I had to send in my column. I feel compelled to opine even though many others have already done so. Combating lies about guns is in my wheelhouse.” She writes:

or it was in Dallas that we learned that “It is easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than get his hands on … a book.” Now first of all, Obama doesn’t know a Glock from a Sig from a Kimber. The same way he couldn’t name a single White Sox player while pretending to be a yuge fan. Someone told him a Glock was badass. But seriously? THAT’S what you’re going with? Your average paperback costs less than ten bucks and a Glock runs to hundreds, probably even stolen. How dumb do you think we are?

 

And what’s up with this “we” who “flood poor communities with guns”? What “we,” Mr. Fast and Furious? I own several thousand books, and a few weapons; yet, not one gun has flooded or even trickled into another community. Black criminals and black gangstas flood their own hapless communities with drugs, violence, driveby shootings and inflict general misery on decent black people. No white folks in the vicinity. Further, I would guess that in my Arizona community of Geezer-Americans, there are multiple guns in every household. And nobody gets shot – ever! Let alone 40 on a long holiday weekend.

 

The gun and book lie is almost certifiable. Good Lord, I would like to have seen the crumpled up first drafts for that one:

 

“How ’bout ‘it’s easier for a teenager to find a gun than a condom?”

“No, they give condoms out at school.”

“OK, OK, how ’bout easier to find a gun than arugula?”

“No, Michelle made sure arugula is part of every discarded school lunch.”
