You'd think a noted "constitutional scholar" would be able to understand a short sentence in the Bill of Rights.

Frightened?

Of course we are.

  1. Governments have murdered 262 million of their own citizens in the past 113 years
  2. Gun control was always the first step
  3. The overwhelming majority of those murders were perpetrated by Socialist/Communist/Marxist governments
  4. Comrade Ubama is a rigid Marxist ideologue
Any questions?

“Obama said he would unveil details of his “sensible, common-sense” program for tighter gun controls”

Notice that they call it a program and not a proposal. The President can only propose laws, he has no authority to make laws himself, so anything proper that he comes up with should at most be a proposal, to be submitted to Congress. The fact that they are calling it a “program” is admitting right there that what he is planning is unconstitutional.

Someone tried to tell me today that he was going to do this through Executive Orders, and read something from wikipedia that says EOs are binding laws. Well, I replied that I don’t give a darn what wikipedia, or the Supreme Court says about it, there is no authority in the Constitution for the President to make laws. If he tries to do that, I will consider them unconstitutional and feel free to disobey them at my discretion with no worries of conscience.

Typical libs. I’m visitng my parents and dad had in on CNN (I know) and that Brit idiot Morgan came on and it was a “gun” special.

In the first 5 minutes they laid out some of the proposed ideas by the administration and the guest (some idiot mayor, Dem) actually said, “while these ideas won’t stop gun crime or violence, they are sensible”.

HUH? Orwell was a prophet.

Gun sale surge driven by fear, Obama says

You got that right, doofus.
Fear that the wannabe tinpot african muslim dictator will finish going through the Bill of Rights and cancelling them all untouched by Congress, the Law, the Supreme Court and supported by his perceived mandate by the mob of fraudulent voters.

I love how they don’t want to take away my guns. Well, except for AR-15s. But that doesn’t count.

Obama’s gun control efforts are driven by fear.

He’s projecting the hysteria of his small anti-American, anti-Second-Amendment constituency on his enemies: Americans.

Possibly if he could read, but my guess is that he was an “affirmative action” graduate under the “everyone gets a trophy” program.

...and that fear caused by statists like Obama is driving people to gun shops looking for a little bit of insurance.
