Another commentary about gun control


I found this at Moorewatch. I appreciate satire and irony:

Once again we see the media fabricating the news.
Former District of Columbia Mayor Marion Barry was robbed at gunpoint at his Southeast apartment by some youths who had helped him carry his groceries.
Barry, who wasn’t injured in the Monday night robbery, said he gave the youths a couple of dollars for helping unload groceries from his car and they left. They returned, however, and after Barry let them inside his Douglas Place apartment, they pointed a gun at his head and took his wallet, which contained cash and credit cards.
“Obviously, I’m traumatized. To have a pistol cocked in your face is not something you cannot feel emotional about,” Barry said.
Do you know how I know this story was fabricated? Because Washington DC has the toughest gun control standards in the United States. And as any good liberal can tell you, when you enact draconian gun control laws, it means that criminals cannot get guns. So there is no way, logically, that this incident could have ever taken place.
