The Washington Post is reporting that President Barack Obama is preparing to pull out all the stops in pushing his anti-gun agenda in what the newspaper calls “a far broader and more comprehensive approach” than the Clinton-era ban on semi-autos.
That ban expired in 2004 after a ten-year lifespan. Passage of the measure cost Democrats control of Congress in November 1994.
The moves will be sold as an effort to curb “gun violence,” but it appears there is much more in the president’s plan, including what the Post calls “measures backed by key law enforcement leaders that would require universal background checks for firearm buyers (and) track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database…”
“National database” just might sound like “national gun registration” to some firearms activists. The concept is almost certain to be toxic to the firearms community. Fear of impending gun restrictions has fueled a buying rush across the nation, and is reportedly swelling the ranks of gun rights organizations with thousands of new memberships.

What makes you think that 'extremists on the right' (that's a liberal phrase) would fire the first shot?
And what will you do to stop it? Turn 'nuts on the right' in to the zampolit for roundup and re-education?
You are part of the problem.

I don’t recall the patriots at Lexington & Concord organizing protests or civil disobediance, as opposed to taking a stand with guns. Yes, there had been a boycott on tea, which wasn’t coming even close to dissuading the British. Drawing the line in the greens of Lexington & Concord, and taking a stand with guns in hands, did get the attention of the British. We are much further down the road of tyranny than the colonies ever were in 1775. And we have no more open frontiers to the west to escape to. The million TEA party marchers tp Washington DC in 2009 were contemptuously dismissed & disregarded by the media and the RAT bastard socialist demoRAT pigs. It may be that the war against our 2nd amendment rights will be the tipping point that is required for all free men & women to make a choice, for freedom or slavery & tyranny. In my case, I suspect I would fight bravely and die very quickly. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus!
