Obama hopes to enact new gun-control measures in 2013
The Hill ^ | 12/30/2012 | Meghashyam Mali

President Obama on Sunday said he would make gun control a priority in his new term, pledging to put his “full weight” behind passing new restrictions on firearms in 2013.

“I'm going to be putting forward a package and I'm going to be putting my full weight behind it,” said Obama in an interview aired on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I'm going to be making an argument to the American people about why this is important and why we have to do everything we can to make sure that something like what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary does not happen again.”

I think that the recordskeeping in Obamacare will flag anyone on mood drugs (Prozac, Paxil, Ambien...) on the NICS system so that these people can’t purchase a firearm.

With better recordkeeping, they can do it by family, dwelling, or neighborhood.

Anyone hear there was reference to Sandy Hook in the Batman movie? And that Susan Collins, author of the Hunger Games, lives in Newtown, Ct?

I agree with you, it is too late. This is not like Washington’s Army defeat on long island early during the war, it is more like Yorktown for Cornwallis.

Secret tax negotiations now. How does this differ from The King not heeding requests from the Colonies? It is more like the times leading up to the declaration of independence.

The biggest tragedy to strike the US was the Union winning the War Between the States. From that point on, the tail has wagged the dog and not by the rule of law, by the rule of force.

Welcome to the Gulag, Comrade will be our next national motto.

I still vote, but it’s too late to save this nation at the ballet box

The ballet box has never been the place to save this nation. The ballet box has been the place to wear tights.

“Because it’s now or never.”

“2014 elections are coming and I think conservatives, who either chose to not vote or voted for an alternate candidate, will not make the same mistake twice.”
_____________________________________________

These so-called “Patriots” are the reason we're taking it up the a$$ right now! Sorry, but if Romney won (as bad as he might have been) things would be looking up right now.

To those conservative "Patriots" who decided to either have a pity party and stayed home on election night, or voted for a third party candidate, I say to you, YOU HOLD A GOOD PORTION OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHERE WE ARE AT TODAY!

To justify their abject stupidity and selfishness, these “Patriots” like to say: “There wasn't one bit of difference between Romney and Obama.” Have a nice time explaining that to our children who you helped royally fu*k over!

Thanks for what you helped to give us: an unbridled Obama! Selfish A-holes!

Throughout his first 4, nobama and the dems had a record and tendency to push things they knew would never fly, I think to either just stir shite or do the old magician’s trick of diverting our focus.

Although I am sure these progressives and their africized muslim gubmit would be quite happy with deleting the 2nd Amendment, it is not going to happen in a “UNITED” States of America, maybe in the Blue States, which would be a good thing.

"Why is Obama pushing this country into civil war?"

Because he believes in and wants a Fabian socialist, Marxist, or pure communist nation. Pick your poison.

BS! He's more interested in making sure something like Lexington and Concord don't happen again.

That cannot be a serious question - he HATES AMERICA and came into office with a pledge to TRANSFORM it. He hates the Constitution and has proclaimed it is "flawed" in that it is only a set of "negative rights". Ran on a pledge of Wealth Redistribution. Can't have wealth redistribution without a civil war between the classes all being driven by the tyrannical government.

"I guess unemployment’s been fixed. Who knew?"

Unemployment is being redefined. Just a little more cooking of the books and all will be skittles and unicorns. Anyone who is receiving transfer payments will be considered employed. Those who do not will be considered suspect and those who work in the private sector other than government rent seekers like GE will be enemies of the state.

What was the reference in Batman?

Suzanne Collins was born in CT fifty years ago, and lives in CT now. What does that have to do with anything?

Well, it might be reasonable to observe that a civil war would be conducive to achieving the goals of "Negative Population Growth" desired by Fabian Socialist uber Vanguard Elites -- like Obama financial Guru Warren Buffet:
 
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1600&bih=721&sclient=psy-ab&q=Warren+Buffett+%22Negative+Population+Growth%22
 
And it might also be reasonable to observe the grossly inhumane and perverse ERROR of that agenda - as we Americans are SUPPOSED to do:
 
 

 


"...and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them. "
 
"I HAVE SWORN UPON THE ALTAR OF GOD ETERNAL HOSTILITY TO EVERY FORM OF TYRANNY OVER THE MIND OF MAN"
--Thomas Jefferson, 1786

...which, is why the 2nd protects the 1st.

He’s not going to go through Congress any more than he went through Congress on the Dream act or Welfare Reform.

He’ll use an executive order or a international treaty to disarm us.

That is how Kali got their assault rifle ban.
They made the bill up (which also included lever action rifles till it was found out), then they released Pat Purdy from the mental institutions and he passed California’s waiting period for a handgun, bought a rifle in Oregon, then shot up the school ground at Stockton, the bill was rushed through and people suddenly found themselves criminals in their own homes.

Wham bam, done.
