What Does a Second Obama Term Mean for Gun Owners?
Townhall ^ | Nov 06, 2012 | Katie Pavlich

Posted on 11/06/2012 12:07:27 PM PST by neverdem

During the second presidential debate of 2012, President Barack Obama said, “What I’m trying to do is get a broader conversation about how we reduce the violence generally. Part of it, is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced.”

You can bet he meant what he said. Obama has a long history of holding anti-Second Amendment views, despite portraying himself as pro-hunter and reasonable about gun control. A second term spells trouble for law-abiding citizens wanting to exercise their right to keep and bear arms: Obama is strongly opposed to concealed carry, has supported gun owner licensing and gun registration and voted to ban semi-automatic rifles, handguns and ammunition during his time in the Illinois State Senate. He even voted for the criminal prosecution of those who use a firearm in self-defense.

“I don’t believe that people should be able to own guns,” Obama told author and economist John Lott, according to an interview Lott did on the Michael Medved Show in 2008.

The effects of a second Obama term will reach far beyond the next four years and will have grave consequences for gun owners. If re-elected, Obama will have as many as three opportunities to place more anti-Second Amendment judges on the Supreme Court… for life. During his first term, he appointed Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, both of whom, as you might expect, have staunch anti-Second Amendment records.

First Lady Michelle Obama understands the power her husband holds should he receive another four years.

“We’re going to make a choice that will impact our lives for decades to come… let’s not forget what it meant when my husband appointed those two brilliant Supreme Court justices… let’s not forget the impact that their decisions will have on our lives for decades to come,” she said...

I guess some body ought to tell Obunghole that the SECOND AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
has absolutely nothing to do with hunting rabbits.
It has every thing to do with lieing, greedy, self absorbed, narcissistic, arrogant asses like himself.
The Second Amendment was put there to act as a check on oppressive government and would be emperors like him.

Think you'll finally do something about your Jews Gun owners, as we did with ours?

What... did you do?

We put them in cattle-cars and shipped them east... always east.

To the Ukraine... to the resettlement camps?

To resettle them... in the air.

Excuse me?

To turn them into smoke. [twirls finger in the air] They burned the bodies after they gassed them. They had to, so nobody would ever know.

People need to start thinking of a couple of things -

one, getting some guns that are “off paper”, and
two, get some “give away” guns for when the JBTs come to confiscate them.
