Genius Obama: Reduce gun violence by getting 'weapons of war' off our streets

President Obama swung by Minneapolis today to talk about his super-awesome plan for reducing gun violence (we’re sure he’ll pay Chicago a visit any day now). During the brief presser, the Lightbringer, in his infinite wisdom, called for “weapons of war” to be taken off the streets:

Thank goodness Obama's going to keep weapons of war off the streets. There are too many Hummers on the LA freeways

No word on whether skeet rifles — er, shotguns fall into the “weapons of war” category.
