“The more that we see this kind of violence on our streets, the more people go out and buy guns,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. “That is both ironic and tragic.”[emphasis added]
The FBI conducted 185,345 firearms background checks on Black Friday, the most ever during a single day. The record number of gun sales came two weeks after the Islamic State’s terrorist attacks in Paris, but before the terrorist massacre in San Bernardino, California.
Asked why he thinks so many Americans are buying guns, Mr. Earnest replied, “I don’t know, I really don’t.”
From here in this luxurious mansion on the shores of the Peaceful Ocean, it's difficult to decide whether the Presidents Press Secretary is just being disingenuous, or is he really that clueless.
I don't honestly think that even he is that out of touch with the American Temper.
This entire administration is so deeply into denial, when they look down they can't see past their own belt-line. Which is just as well, for there is obviously nothing to see below the belt.
Speaking just for myself, I'm just a little bit tired of these elitist thugs telling us what we should and should not do. I think if Americans are going out and buying a lot of guns, then even this Administration ought to figure out exactly what is wrong with Americans today.
... or something like that.

Those who live and work inside the DC beltway have a totally different outlook from Joe Sixpac in fly over country.
Repeat after me: It is not about guns, it is about control. Now memorize this.
A good way to end up in a FEMA reeducation camp.
