The enemy is radical Islam, not the National Rifle Association

Over the past eight years - the Obama administration has never let a crisis go to waste. The Orlando terrorist attack was no different.

President Obama co-opted an Islamic radical terrorist attack and turned it into a campaign to ban “assault rifles” (their words, not mine).

“We have to make it harder for people who want to kill Americans to get their hands on weapons of war that let them kill dozens of innocents,” the president declared.

So does he plan on confiscating our pressure cookers? What about fertilizer or cutlery or jetliners? Would that make us safer?

“Enough talking about being tough on terrorism,” the president said in a lecture to the nation on Tuesday. “Actually be tough on terrorism, and stop making it easy as possible for terrorists to buy assault weapons.”

“We have to make it harder for people who want to kill Americans......”........

The bastard got it half right. Yes, we DO have to make it harder to kill Americans, keep the rouge bastards off our shores and out of this country until we know who they are. That is what Trump has been advocating.

When I listened to Obama’s tirade, he reminded me of my daughter when she was a teenager, she had a problem with the truth. When caught red-handed in something she had done, (no matter how small an issue) rather than admit it, she would launch into an elaborately detailed scheme to avoid the truth, it was remarkable and lying became a bigger problem than the issue. It became a twisted game for her and I sincerely think that is exactly what Obama is doing, it is now a game for him.

“...and stop making it easy as possible for terrorists to buy assault weapons.”

Wow, and again, did he actually say this?

It assumes and condones that terrorists are here in this country.

That is why this furious spin on assault rifles and all out push for gun control.

Liberals don't want to shine any light on their failed ‘multiculturalism’, “moderate” mooooslims can “coexist” PC, and failed foreign policies (courtesy of both Obama/HRC).

They desperately want to convince the public that there is no such thing as “good guys with guns can save lives”, and it is better off for the public to wholly dependent on the gubmint for the rescue.

Liberals’ sanity depends on it, let alone their lives.

When they start on pressure cookers, they will also include nails and other stuff that could be used as projectiles.

The ban list will go on forever, until we can only buy cotton balls and toilet papers.

Islam is an enemy but @ the heart of all this crap is multiculturalism and diversity.

Multiculturalism and “diversity” are tactics to undermine societal underpinnings of the United States and all of its accomplishments. It is a means to diminish the accomplishment of individuals because of their skin color or ethnic origin.

Islam is a weapon held to the throat of an open society where each person is valued for their contributions to that society, much like multiculturalism and diversity, but with a far more violent edge.

The real enemy is modern liberalism, which seeks to demean the productive and elevate the unproductive because the liberal leaders mistakenly believe they will survive the onslaught.

Yep, I linked to a transcript of the speech before (and again just there). You are correct. It assumes the terrorists are in the country. The government sees all citizens as potential terrorists, and desires to disarm all of us. Hillary does not believe the 2nd amendment protects an individual right. Neither does Obama, and neither does most of the judiciary nor the legal academia.

“You are correct. It assumes the terrorists are in the country.”

It’s a Freudian slip of the political sort:

Obama/Hitlery/dems believe there are terrorists here, however their definition of “terrorist” (white male Tea Partiers) is completely different from most people’s definition.

With this mindset firmly in place, expect a crackdown on white middle class America everytime a muslim shoots up a building.

Islam is a religion that practices human sacrifice. All the killings in its name proves that. It should be banned in America.
