Obama and the gun he dare not mention

In a speech on gun control Obama did not once did he refer to the weapon that is responsible for most of the carnage that is inflicted on the streets of inner-city America.

Every single day an average of 33 people die to the gun – or to express that terrible figure another way, since the massacre at Sandy Hook elementary school on 14 December most more than 1,000 people have been killed at the end of a barrel. And of those deaths, the clear majority arefl inicted by common handguns.
