Obama Goes Beyond Mere Gun Control, Hints at Confiscation
Breitbart ^ | 10/03/2015 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 10/03/2015 6:58:46 PM PDT by 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.

I say let jug ears keeping talking confiscation. Maybe it’ll convince some fencesitters that is the true ultimate agenda of all grabbers.

It torques Obozo’s pink lil panties that he is powerless to ban and or confiscate weapons in America.
It’ll never happen. Well, let me say, it will never happen without sparking a backlash that will be unlike anything seen in this country...since the war of Northern aggression.

Triple dog dare’em.


BINGO!

The good county sheriffs would stop it in it’s tracks.

And if they needed some back up, they could deputize a whole bunch of good guys.

John Lot was on Levin yesterday and he said that Australia has ‘re-enabled’ private gun ownership to pretty much the same level as before they ban.


That’s very good news. Thanks for sharing that.

The government won’t confiscate your guns. They will simply make it so very, very uncomfortable for you to keep them that you will “voluntarily” give them up.

Food and water deprivation is one way they would try.

BREAKING: OBAMA ADDRESSES MARTIAL LAW TAKE OVER
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u0X7KpKKus

“The politics has to change. And the people who are troubled by this have to be as intense, and as organized, and as adamant about this issue as folks on the other side who are absolutists and think that any gun safety measures are somehow an assault on freedom or Communistic. Or a plot by me to take over and stay in power forever or something....”

Remember that when Obama uses some global emergency as an excuse to cancel elections and becomes world dictator.

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

I think that's already been going on for a while now.

If 2% fought, it would be twice the size of the military.

It’s 320,000,000 gun owners. Take that to the bank

The US Census 2014 Total population estimate 318,957,056. The gun ownership estimate (Statistic Brain Research Institute) sets forth ownership at approximately 34%, 108,445,400. Of which there are a high percentage of guns owners with multiple guns. Certainly not 320,000,000 gun owners, maybe 320,000,000 guns.

“I believe most Americans will give the guberment thugs their guns, one bullet at a time!”

I’m old and don’t care anymore, so I’m definitely game for this approach.
