John Bolton: Gun control a top goal of Obama 2nd term
Politico ^ | Apr 29, 2011 | James Hohman

John Bolton suggested Friday that Barack Obama is laying the foundation to push an ambitious gun control agenda if he wins a second term.

"We can understand that, as he likes to say, he's playing the long game, and that 'leading from behind' means waiting until he's elected to a second term when he faces no further political constraints and his true agenda can come to the floor, "Bolton told thousands of gun owners at the National Rifle Association's annual meeting here. "And I believe right at the top of it is [to] increase gun control at the federal level and at the international level."

I think Bolton is right -- "we ain't seen nothing yet" about Obama's leftist agenda...

There is a lot at stake, as in the future of the US, in 2012.

I believe it. He aint stupid.
The only reason he hasn’t tried it yet is that he wants that second term.

America had better wake the Eff up.

This guy has very bad things planned for us.

King Obama, if reelected, will be dictator. He must take guns out of the hands of Americans. He knows that the biggest threat is a armed citizen and the only real threat left.

As long as the GOP controls Congress...or at least the House, how much damage can Obama do?

Here is a clue as to ho3w Obama operates.
A Federal Judge declared Obamacare unconstitutional, He said, “we don’t care”

DOMA is law and Holder said “We don’t care”

You need Congressional approval to go to war, Obama said “We don’t care, I want even talk to them about it, I’m just going to do it”

And The sheeple said “we don’t care, Where’s the BC?”

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

“Meanwhile we are chasing birth certificates and cheering on Trump.”

What is really sad or worse, is that Trump is the only one talking straight about Obama and his policies, while all the other Republicans are hiding in some corner, being afraid to say anything.

When the Dems attack, they attack on every front, make a mountain out of the tiniest molehill, while the Republicans always want to stay “above the frey”, and the Dems eat our lunch every time.

We need some Republicans with some gumption. Bolton is speaking out, I like him, but I don't think he has a chance.

At this point, I don't know any Republican who would have a good chance of beating Obama in 2012. I hope such candidate emerges soon.

There is nothing preventing Obama from taking a hard left turn after winning re-election...just like his predecessor did.

WASHINGTON — Faced with a Congress hostile to even slight restrictions of Second Amendment rights, the Obama administration is exploring potential changes to gun laws that can be secured strictly through executive action, administration officials say.

If possible he will ruin the country based upon nothing more than EO’s and signing statements.

Administration officials said talk of executive orders or agency action are among a host of options that President Barack Obama and his advisers are considering.

Get those Saiga 12's and high cap magazines now folks.

Obama will let us keep guns, but he may try to restrict it to Kentucky long rifles and put severe restrictions on use.
