The truth is that Obama is a gun-ban zealot's dream. Despite his disingenuous claims of support for the Second Amendment, Obama's abysmal voting record paints a starkly different picture.
In the Illinois state legislature, Obama voted to prosecute people who legitimately use a gun for self-defense in their own home. He endorsed a complete ban on handgun ownership. He opposes the highly successful right-to-carry laws on the books in 40 states. He voted to ban almost all rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sport shooting. He supported frivolous taxpayer-funded junk lawsuits designed to bankrupt the firearms industry.
Most recently, Obama refused to sign a friend-of-the-court brief in support of individual Second Amendment rights in the D.C. v. Heller Supreme Court case.

Buy your extra capacity mags and surplus ammo now, fellas. If you’ve had your eye on something that even looks like it’s dangerous, better go get it now.

No friend of plumbers either.
And while some police officers’ unions back Obama, you’d think they would withhold their support from someone who pals around with a member of a terrorist organization that killed cops.

To: Wneighbor
Credit cards are bad things to use.....at least with cash the only physical source of purchase is kept with the dealer. I've had many a dealer tell me they'll give those up over their dead bodies - don't know if it's true, but at least the government has to single someone out to make them comply legally, I'd expect.
My guess is if these assholes get the power, they will use it without reservation - quickly. If they win, it WILL get nasty.

Agreed. Cash. Nuf said.
We who want our 2nd Amend. upheld must be vigilant and continue doing everything we have the ability to do to keep the assholes out of power. I feel that’s a dim possibility now but that means it’s time to fight to uphold our rights with all we have.
