Amid Gun Control Push, Obama Pardons Man Sentenced For Gun Crimes

Amid the push for more gun control for law-abiding citizens, President Obama exercised his pardoning power for Larry Wayne Thorton, a Forsyth, GA man who had been sentenced to four years probation for firearm-related offenses.

Thorton was sentenced after being found guilty of possession of an unregistered firearm and "possession of a firearm without a serial number."

While issuing pardons is certainly the president's prerogative, this particular pardon comes as the NRA, Gun Owners of America, and others are all making the case that one of the chief reasons behind gun crime is the Obama administration's lax enforcement of gun laws that are already on the books. 

That Thorton was one of 17 persons pardoned by Obama on March 1, will only add fuel to this argument.

30 years ago, would have said, "Jumpin CheezNcrakkers! What kinda batchit craziness is this?"

now its more like, "WTF?...ya didn't set Mr Thornton up with the Brick Rancher w/ pool and and a new Range Rover as well?"

been in bizzarro werld too long I guess ;)

Agreed. This is not surprising in any manner. He probably did get the house, we will never know.
The hypocrisy is what gets me. Here is a thug pos criminal with a handgun with the (serial numbers scratched off) and no record of purchase. Thornton is representative of a true criminal thug and O'dumbler pardons him?

Same hypocrisy Cuomo is displaying catering to Hollyweird guns. He is letting these scumbags shoot violent movies with guns in the streets of NY while law abiding citizens are being stripped of their rights.

Remember, one reason why gun control has been avoided for years is because of lobbying from the arms industry. That's the same industry that profits from sales not only to citizens but to the government.

The government is probably now testing the waters. In the end, whether or not gun control will be enforced is dependent on what the financial elite want.
