Letter: Gun control opposition about Obama? (Retired union goon)
The Baton Rouge Advocate ^ | February 16, 2013 | Joseph Piper, retired communications worker

Posted on 02/16/2013 7:33:13 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

A majority of Americans voted for President Barack Obama, despite having to stand in lines for hours in many locations.

The president’s agenda, agreed to by most of America, is to limit ammo clips to 10 rounds, eliminate the further sale of assault weapons and require background checks on gun purchases, whether at a gun show or a sporting goods store — a simple concept, agreed on by most Americans, gun owners or not.

What the NRA, the star salesman for the weapons manufacturers, hears is that we want to take away everybody’s guns and leave them defenseless.

This is cognitive dissonance.

Everyone gets to keep their guns and even buy as many more as they can afford. This time, however, you’ll have a background check.

If you are a hunter, but you need an assault rifle to kill Bambi, you should turn in your gun...

Unless you live in Missouri and the Democrats get their way...

Other states beating the confiscation drum? I forget...

And that would be one B.H. Obama - or whatever his name is...

“If you are a hunter, but you need an assault rifle to kill Bambi, you should turn in your gun...”

Our Bambis are pretty tough...

No thanks.

If you are a hunter, but you need an assault rifle to kill Bambi, you should turn in your gun.

If for some reason, you object to having a background check before buying a new weapon, the police would like to know why.

Where is the "barf alert" on this letter to the editor? I don't "need" anything but if I want, I can have. After all, this is America, right? "Kill Bambi?" Another idiot who gets all his information on the wild natural world from Disney cartoons.

The 2nd Amendment has nothing to to do with hunting deer or any other animal. And it is none of any police departments business if I want to exersise a Constitutional right.

This is cognitive dissonance.

No It is not.

It is an extrapolation of available evidence to come to a viable conclusion that the current Regime wishes to disarm the populace so as to be better able to further an agenda that ends with the USA being a fully socialized Marxist wet dream.

Definition of insanity : Trying the same thing that has been tried many times in history, and expecting different results.
NEVER in the history of the world, has there ever been mandatory universal firearms registration legislation or progrom (State sactioned violence) THAT WAS NOT FOLLOWED BY UNIVERSAL CONFISCATION.

We are expected to believe that the Barack Hussein Obama regime will be the contemporary enlightned first exception?
I suppose if you're addicted to kool-aid, sure.

For the rest of us, as the famous line goes, "Over my dead body!"

Another dumbass liberal. Hey Joseph. You're a regular on the Advocate, so instead of spending all your time on the internet panting over pics of Obama come on over and put a few posts here.

The 2nd Amendment has nothing to to do with hunting deer or any other animal. And it is none of any police departments business if I want to exersise a Constitutional right.

There is also the small matter of "arbitrary and capricious" definition of 'assault rifle.'

The totalitarian tactic of redefining language in order to make a legal process illegal has been clearly used and abused in the last four years.

Fortunately, in a Constitutional Republic with a Bill of Rights, that can't work.

Attempting to neutralize our Constitution, without use of the proper explicit process, should be declared an impeachable offense.

Just for grins, may I ask the following question?
Can a representative democratic constitutional republic vote itself a change to a despotism or a dictatorship? ---- democratically, of course.

“Everyone gets to keep their guns and even buy as many more as they can afford. This time, however, you’ll have a background check.”

Sounds a lot like "Everyone gets to keep their health plan under my plan.".

All you people who's company was forced to either drop the medical plan or reduce your hours, How's that workin' out for ya?

Tell you what bub - why don't YOU try and take them from us yourself?

Of course we know Marxist goose-stepping seig-heiling stooges like yourself are too cowardly to attempt to do yourself what you want done. So, as always - you will petition the government to do it for you - and applaud the use of drones and tanks to destroy all of us whom you do not trust with liberty if you and your ilk get your way.

The time of reckoning is drawing very near bub. Once you arseholes make that last mistake - you and your ilk are gonna wish you never did.

I do not need the AR15 or double-stack Glock on the basis of deer and rabbits that might be crashing through my door because of mistaken address for a no-knock home invasion — phew!

True. This guy probably never fired a gun but he’s giving advice to hunters, etc.
