OPINION: Obama's Absurd Gun Claim Stains Dallas Funeral Speech

Katie blogged this episode yesterday, in which President Obama made an active decision not only to politicize the funeral of five slain police officers with a strident gun control message, but to do so with the cartoonishly false claim that handguns are more readily available to teenagers than computers or books. It would be a challenge to improve upon Charles Cooke's instant reaction post at NRO -- but I'll at least endeavor to add to it in a moment.
