Obama LIED about gun used in Newtown during Orlando speech

I didn’t even notice this earlier, but Obama lied about the legality of the gun used in the Newtown murders.

In fact, no background check would have stopped Adam Lanza from getting his hands on the guns he used because he stole them from his mother. She clearly passed the background check.

I missed it, but many on Twitter saw it:

Here’s what the GOP posted about it:

All Weapons Used In The Shooting Belonged To His Mother, Who Had A Permit For Their Use. “The Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle Lanza used in the elementary school, as well as the four other weapons recovered from the crime scenes, belonged to his mother. She purchased them legally, and had a permit for their use.” (Liz Goodwin, “Sandy Hook Report: Shooter’s Mom Wanted To Buy Him Gun For Christmas,” Yahoo News, 11/25/13)

Lanza Attempted To Buy A Long Gun Rifle “From A Local Gun Store But Was Turned Away Because He Did Not Want To Wait For The Required 14-Day Background Check.” “Just days before the school shooting, Adam Lanza attempted to purchase a single ‘long gun’ rifle from a local gun store but was turned away because he did not want to wait for the required 14-day background check, according to two federal law enforcement officials. Sources said he entered the store “earlier in the week” in the Newtown area and inquired about buying one rifle. He was only 20 years old, and did not have a permit for firearms, and was told about a 14-day background check that would have to be done, the sources said.” (Richard A. Serrano and Alana Semuels, “Suspect In Massacre Tried To Buy Rifle Days Before, Sources Say,” Los Angeles Times , 12/15/12)

Just another day in Obama’s make believe world.
