UPDATED: Obama Tells Multiple Lies About Guns In The U.S. To A Crowd In Brazil

Daily Wire  
"Former President Barack Obama told multiple lies on Thursday to a crowd in Brazil while discussing gun laws in the United States — something that he repeatedly did during his presidency.' . . .
'Everything stated by Obama was a blatant lie.
"Stephen Gutowski, a Second Amendment reporter for The Washington Free Beacon, highlighted some of Obama's in a series of tweets on Friday.
" 'Former President Obama just straight up lied about America's gun laws while at an event in Brazil--a country with strict gun laws and an unfathomably-high gun murder rate," Gutowski tweeted. "Former President Obama told the Brazilian crowd 'anybody can buy any weapon any time without much, if any, regulation' of our gun laws which is just plain false on its face. A complete lie.' " . . .




Thomas Lifson UPDATE:  Obama offers blatant lies about US gun laws in speech given in Brazil

. . . "Brazil, where Obama was speaking, has had strict gun control laws, but also has one of the highest murder rates in the world. just like Chicago. However, Jessica Chasmar in the Washington Times notes that Brazil’s new populist president is moving the country in the direction of firearms freedom in order to stem the tide of lawlessness:
Mr. Obama’s comments come just weeks after Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro signed a decree easing restrictions on gun imports and increasing the amount of ammunition a person can buy. In January, Mr. Bolsonaro signed a decree making it easier for Brazilians to keep weapons at home without first demonstrating that they have a need to own a gun.
"Abysmally ignorant or blatant liar?  Either way, Barack Obama is a hideous ex-president."
