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.

Ugh, what a creep's creep.
Turn 'em in. The 2nd Amendment only applies to the Military, National Guard and the Police.
It means the Republicans in Congress better not roll over for the Democrats like they’ve done in the past.
It’s time for mainstream Conservatives to start looking for ways to salvage what we can of our nation by thinking of ways to restore our Constitution that work outside the corrupt and unconstitutional system. Anyone seriously talking about the 2016 presidential elections need to wake up. It’s time for states to start ignoring blatant unconstitutional laws and mandates without wasting time or money in our corrupt system. That’s where we are at right now regardless of what you think about the situation. It’s a joke trying to change things from within when you know it’s impossible. Our founding fathers wouldn’t waste their time doing that, and neither will anyone out their who can accept the truth of just how bad our situation is.
We were warned. Now people, get ready for AW Bans. Bans on high-cap mags. More onerous firearm regs. Further decreases in the number of FFLs. It is coming...
