Gun Control: During a keynote speech in Washington, D.C., Barack Obama started talking about guns, and repeated the completely bogus claim that Parkland, Fla., was the 18th school shooting this year.
It's hardly the first time Obama has peddled blatant falsehoods to push gun control.
The number was made up by a gun control advocacy site, which arrived at 18 only by including such things as a suicide in the parking lot of a school that had been closed for months, stray bullets fired near a college campus, a police officer's weapon going off accidentally, after-hours fights in school parking lots, etc.
Not only did Obama repeat this phony statistic, but he didn't even have the gun control group's updated number.
By the time Obama gave his speech, Everytown for Gun Safety listed 27 "School shootings" for this year.
The new entries, not surprisingly, are just as bogus as the previous ones, including, for example, a false report of a gun being fired at a school.
Of course, the mainstream media are often so busy peddling their own lies about guns that they would hardly have time to notice when Obama, or any other prominent politician, does the same.
