Althouse noted this Obama quotefrom last night’s big shindig:

“We can keep AK-47s out of the hands of criminals.”

All right, then! Can I have an AK-47? I’m not a criminal. He’s trying to say we can accommodate gun rights and gun regulations, but he won’t admit to anything near the level of gun regulation he’d support, so he ends up sounding silly.

Sweet! I’ve got myself a semi-auto WASR-10, but I’m looking forward to getting my real-life AK-47 if Obama wins in November.

What? You mean that he didn’t mean gun control applied only to criminals?

Then why did he say it that way? Didn’t he know someone might not understand what he is really pushing for? I’m sure he didn’t mean for that to happen.
