Obama Goes Beyond Mere Gun Control, Hints at Confiscation

[E. Pluribus Unum]

When President Obama spoke in reaction to the heinous October 1 attack on Umpqua Community College, he went beyond his usual calls for more gun control and suggested instead that America consider following the path blazed by Australia and Great Britain.

In the mid-1990s Australia and Great Britain both instituted what were virtually complete bans on firearm possession.

Obama referenced the bans thus:

We know that other countries, in response to one mass shooting, have been able to craft laws that almost eliminate mass shootings.  Friends of ours, allies of ours — Great Britain, Australia, countries like ours.  So we know there are ways to prevent it.

Some time in the future both Australia and the UK will rue the day they forfeited private gun ownership.

Sure, Obama. You just have to amend the constitution.
We’ll be waiting right here. And if you try it by EO,
we’ll be waiting right here, armed.

I wish he’d try....

Remember how much chaos two guys in an old beater of a car in the DC area and one rogue cop in LA caused.

Multiply that by a couple of dozen and the whole country would for the most part shut down.

A “couple dozen” is less than one percent of one percent of one percent of American firearms owners.

do you mean to imply that there once was a time you did?

All it would take to make criminals out of all of us is for five out of nine politically appointed lawyers on the Supreme Court to decide that the American people have no rights under the Second Amendment to keep and bear arms.

I bet Australia required gun registration, which made it easier to confiscate them.

There are a lot of unregistered guns in the US.

[Norm Lenhart]

Oh I agree. But ultimately I think most would turn on them as the loyalists did to the Revolutionaries in 1776. Because most of America craves the boot on it’s neck. They talk tough but can’t even vote right in anonymity. Imagine what those gutless people would do faced with a true brownshirt at their door offering to trade their families freedom for information.

You know what that answer is.

Come and get 'em!

POS Obama is looking bad both physically and mentally these days. He looks like he’s about to stroke out. He could snap in public before long. IMO

I know what the answer is for 99.9999%.

But one percent of one percent of one percent could have every major city in this country in chaos in a couple of days.

Meanwhile, in his beloved Australia, a Jihadist killed two people with a gun, yeah a GUN, in Australia, a country where having a gun is illegal, unless your a Jihadist or a criminal, than its all good
A 15 year old with a gun. How does a 15yr old afford and get a gun? I had a heck of a time convincing my folks to let me have a crosman 760 at that age, and it took a long time to get the money (I cut a lot of lawns).
