In August, that rate increased to 22 percent, and on Thursday 11 of the 102 inmates being granted clemency were incarcerated for firearm-related offenses.<\/p>\n<p>Not that you\u2019ll hear anything about this from the White House. Instead, spokesman Neil Eggleston focused on the \u201cdrug-related\u201d nature of many of the crimes being commuted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The vast majority of today\u2019s grants were for individuals serving unduly harsh sentences for drug-related crimes under outdated sentencing laws,&#8221; Eggleston said in a statement. &#8220;With today\u2019s grants, the President has commuted 774 sentences, more than the previous 11 presidents combined. With a total of 590 commutations this year, President Obama has now commuted the sentences of more individuals in one year than in any other single year in our nation\u2019s history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Eggleston touts Obama\u2019s record-breaking clemency spree, but fails in this statement to acknowledge the inconsistency between the President\u2019s gun rhetoric and his actions.<\/p>\n<p>Obama lectures the Second Amendment community seemingly every day on the \u201cfailures\u201d of gun control laws in the United States. Between references to the so-called \u201cgun show loophole,\u201d the \u201conline loophole,\u201d and the \u201cbackground check loophole,\u201d Obama paints a picture in which state and federal gun laws are riddled with ways criminals can traffic illegal guns. His solution, inevitably, is to tighten gun regulations and make it even more difficult for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n<p>How does this rhetoric square with the President\u2019s leniency on \u201cgun crime\u201d? It doesn\u2019t. If Obama really wanted to reduce \u201cgun violence,\u201d he would stop pushing for new legislation and start enforcing the legislation already in place. Instead of harassing law-abiding gun owners, he would send a clear message to those who commit crimes with guns: \u201cIf I catch you, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His latest actions have sent the opposite message. Rather than being \u201ctough on guns,\u201d Obama has communicated that committing a gun-related crime might actually get you out of jail sooner.<\/p>\n<p>So, to review. If you\u2019re a law-abiding citizen, the President has promised to do everything in his power to regulate into oblivion your constitutional right to keep and bear arms. But as soon as you decide to violate those gun laws, the President might just give you a pass.<\/p>\n<p>This is \u201cgun control,\u201d but there\u2019s no \u201ccommon sense\u201d anywhere in sight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the latest show of hypocrisy from the White House, President Obama has increased the rate of sentence commutations for criminals doing time for firearm-related offenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":60649,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-64884","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Obama Grants Clemency for Even More Firearm-Related Offenders<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"More hypocrisy from the White House.
