President Obama hit the road Monday on a nationwide gun-grabbing tour. His show doesnt have many fans inside the Beltway, since being seen favoring gun control can be the kiss of death for senators with rural constituencies. So Mr. Obama is trying to shore up fence-sitting members by bringing his community organizing skills to their districts.

On Wednesday, Mr. Obama will be in Annapolis to address the Maryland Democratic Senate Caucus retreat on the same day that the state Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee holds a hearing on expanding existing gun restrictions. Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley is pushing the General Assembly to reduce the arbitrary magazine capacity limit from 20 to 10 rounds and prohibit all assault weapons Current owners would have to register their guns with the state police by November. The Maryland proposal would also require a license to rent or buy a handgun.
Those applying for such a license would have to take an eight-hour gun class, much like the course that was recently abandoned in the District after Metropolitan Police Department Chief Cathy L. Lanier testified it was unnecessary.
Mr. O'Malley would exempt shotguns and hunting rifles from the licensing requirement, even though some permissible firearms can fire more powerful rounds than the vilified AR-15 style black rifles he wants completely outlawed.
The gun-rights group Maryland Shall Issue is arranging pro-gun testimony and a rally outside the capitol in protest. O'Malleys bill does nothing to reduce crime it would ban firearms that the FBI says are not even used in violent crimes in Maryland, said Patrick Shomo, the organizations president...

Thanks for the ping!
“Obama’s Travelling Gun Show”
More like selling snake oil and kool aid.
IMHO
nothing can nullify an inalienable right.
My question is, Isn’t Obama guilty of treason? It states “The Constitution confines the crime of treason to two species; First, the levying of war against the United States; and Secondly, adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.” He attempts to circumvent the Constitution, and casually threatens the possibility of taking American lives with drones (remember the article about the right to kill Americans on American soil without trial?) It also states, “and that if any person or persons, having knowledge of the commission of any of the treasons aforesaid, shall conceal, and not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President of the United States, or some one of the Judges thereof, or to the President or Governor of a particular State, or some one of the Judges or Justices thereof, such person or persons, on conviction, shall be adjudged guilty of misprision of treason, and shall be imprisoned not exceeding seven years, and fined not exceeding one thousand dollars.” So why is he getting away with it and why are we letting him? Although it may be ‘internal’ it’s still a war against the people of the United States of America being supported by his cronies in Congress. He won’t even allow us to review his past records. How and why is he getting away with what he is doing? This is a serious question.
Agreed 100%.
