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...

So why would you think that Obama has any chance. I expect impeachment right after the election.

It means you’re gonna have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Bug: Place your projectile weapon on the ground.
Edgar: You can have my gun, when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
Bug: Your proposal is acceptable.

Obama doesn't always say exactly what he means. When he says "I don't think people should have guns" he really means "I don't think WHITE people should have guns." White for him is only partially racial, it's also dogwhistle for "people who have money but aren't in my party or affiliated unions."

He wouldn't mind having a well armed civilian army of auxiliaries, either formally under General Big Sis of the DHS, or informally, as self-redistributing criminals among whom his people are highly represented. Has he come down hard on guns actually used in crime? Has he proposed extra-strict penalties or harsh enforcement of existing laws for gun-wielding criminals or gang bangers? No, he has not. In fact, he's run guns to Mexico for shady reasons of his own, and he's pushed for social justice in the form of race based penalties (in schools as well as in the judiciary).

And those voters in Missouri who vote for anyone other than Todd Akin will regret their decision, as Mother McCaskill will vote anyway the Imposter from Mombasa commands her to.

It would mean I buy my AR next week. Then within a month or so loose it and several other firearms by tragically forgetting to lock my car ...

Then his Secret Service guard should be forced to give up their firearms.

What is there about... A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. ...that some people just don't get?

There will be plenty of guns....pointed at us

Yep, at the producers, because that is the only way they are going to get us to work. Because we will have no incentive to produce otherwise.

Impeachment requires an opposition that observes honor and a two thirds vote in the Senate to remove him or her from office. I'm almost sure that the House considered impeaching Holder. They chose to vote for Holder being in contempt of Congress.

If the Communist filth steals this election I will buy another gun. Something small with a big clip.

If the dems get control, only criminals will have guns. That is so they can waltz right into your house and take whatever they want - a little “income redistribution” and “fairness.”

““I don’t believe that people should be able to own guns,” “

The great irony is, as all firearms enthusiasts know, that Barack has done more to promote gun sales over the last four years than any other President in history.

Prices of AR-15s soared in his early years and are still fairly high.

What I want to know is what Homeland Security intends to do with the large purchase of millions of rounds of ammo.

I’ve got the same problem and am at risk of posting articles
FReepers bombarding me with comments of having already been posted. I’ve tried searching FR using three different browsers to make sure it’s not a matter of some specific issue with any one browser but could not do a search with any of them, Firefox, Google Chrome, IE9.

I found a method thatcan/might work. Do the search on Google, Yahoo or Bing. Enclose a title within quotation marks and add freerepublic.com:

"What Does a Second Obama Term Mean for Gun Owners?" freerepublic.com

It works when this forum's archive search fails.

“There will be plenty of guns....pointed at us”

And who would do the pointing?

The fat-butt welfare momma brigade?

The hip-hop rap thugs who hold their glocks sideways?

The National Weather Service?

Not a single fat-ass federal fascist bureaucrat is willing to die on a hilltop for the glory of obama.

“People need to start thinking of a couple of things -
one, getting some guns that are “off paper”

Keep thinking, Mr. B, and you’ll find all the “off paper” guns and ammo that you’ll ever need. Two hints:

1. April 19, 1775

2. Old North Bridge
