"no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons" and that guns were a "ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will.

Are these the words of an american or someone who hates america?
 
Where change never came: Obama's hometown

When President Obama spoke of hope and change in 2008, Ja'Mal Green, a community organizer, believed it would translate to safety on his block.

But that's not the reality he sees as he walks the South Side streets today. He points to last year's spike in violence: 762 were killed in 2016, more than New York and Los Angeles combined.

Green says he wishes President Obama would have used his position to bring more attention to the issues impacting black communities, like poverty, the underfunding of schools and the lack of economic investment in rough neighborhoods.

"We are not going to be saying thank you for the eight years of work that he didn't do in the black communities," Green says of Obama's return to Chicago. During Obama's tenure in the White House, 3,917 people were murdered in Chicago, police records show.

Sounds like someone who is out of touch with the peasants, and is also surrounded by secret service agents, with guns.
 
Here is the problem with the statement that the OP listed for Obama.

among people of good will. A lot of people are not out there in good will.:
 
The real reason Obama didn’t pass gun control

And so Barack Obama released an approving statement during the 2008 presidential campaign when the Supreme Court declared that the Second Amendment enshrines an individual right to bear arms, and proceeded to flip several states with significant gun-owning constituencies. In his first term, Obama did not push for gun control measures after the fatal mass shootings at Fort Hood, Texas; an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater; and the Tucson, Arizona supermarket that cut short Rep. Gabby Giffords' congressional career. He continued to keep quiet on gun control in the 2012 presidential campaign as well.

Such a strategy is not without significant political risk. There is a reason why Obama did not try to build a robust gun control mandate in 2008 and 2012: He probably would have lost critical swing states like Ohio, Iowa and Colorado.

FUCKING GOLD!

I just googled it, and found out that the meme started making rounds only AFTER 1998, (the year NRA started donating to political parties).

In fact, prior to the 80's NRA were just as 'conservative' about guns use, as current Democrats are!



"The 143-year-old National Rifle Association has not always been like today's NRA, fighting every gun control law as if the essence of American freedom depends on every citizen owning a gun."

The NRA Wasn't Always Against Gun Restrictions

"NRA was started by Union officers upset over Civil War recruits' poor shooting skills. Well into the 20th century, the NRA was known primarily for promoting the safe and proper use of firearms, often in some form of cooperation with the government.

The NRA wasn't always staunchly opposed to gun restrictions
---When handguns became the focus, the NRA supported state-level permit requirements for concealed weapons. In the Prohibition Era, the conversation changed again with the urban use of shotguns and the fully automatic Thompson gun.The NRA worked with Congress and the White House on those acts and supported their enforcement.
---The same was true when these restrictions were extended and tightened following the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and again by a 1968 gun bill responding to the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Sen. Robert Kennedy.
