<p>Most outgoing US Presidents grant numerous presidential pardons during their last months and/or days in office, but President Obama seems to have adopted that strategy for his entire time in office. This week, he&#8217;s decided ;to forgive 107 gun felons.</p>
<p>For a President so intent on tightening gun control &ndash; not to mention all the recent shootings &ndash; it seems odd that he would choose gun felons to forgive. ;The 107 criminals were either pardoned or had their sentences commuted. According to <em>The Washington Times</em>, their crimes included:</p>
<p>&bull; Using a weapon while dealing drugs</p>
<p>&bull; Carrying a weapon despite felony convictions</p>
<p>&bull; Lying in the attempt purchase weapons</p>
<p>&bull; Carrying weapons with registrations numbers removed</p>
<p><em>Let&rsquo;s keep in mind this is the president who repeatedly asks for gun control reform. ;</em></p>
<p>&#8220;This is the most incredible hypocrisy,&#8221; complains Erich Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America. &#8220;The president has commuted the sentences of dangerous criminals who were convicted of gun-related charges. But then, he does everything in his power to block law-abiding gun owners from purchasing firearms.&#8221;</p>
<p>During his two terms in office, President Obama has forgiven more than 600 federal inmates &ndash; including hundreds of drug dealers and drug users. This is more than the nation&rsquo;s past 9 presidents combined. Last week, he told us why: ;&ldquo;Our focus really has been on people who we think were overcharged and people who we do not believe have a propensity towards violence.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>If selling drugs while carrying firearms isn&rsquo;t considered &ldquo;a propensity towards violence,&rdquo; I can&rsquo;t help but wonder what does. ;</em></p>
<p>&#8220;On one hand, the Obama administration is attempting to limit law-abiding Americans from exercising their Second Amendment right and protecting themselves from harm,&rdquo; says Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL). &#8220;On the other hand, the president will let criminals with firearm-related offenses off easy.&#8221;</p>
