Obama's Falacious "Teen Buying a Glock" Statement

During the Dallas Police Memorial, Barack Obama made a statement that he has made before: "It's easier for teenagers to buy a Glock than a book or computer".  As usual, he doesn't get called on the falseness of that claim.  The fact is, that Federal law prohibits any licensed firearm dealer from selling any handgun, such as a Glock, to anyone under the age of 21.

Now, what may be true, is that in certain neighborhoods in America, teens are able to buy a handgun on the streets. Even so, under Federal law, it is illegal to sell a it to anyone under the age of 18.  But, like all laws, there will always be someone who will violate them.

As I have said before, gun control advocates consistently lie in order to sway opinion in their favor.
