Obama goes for the Assault Weapons Ban on Day 1! (So much for Respecting the 2nd A)
Whitehouse.gov ^ | 1/21/2009 | Me

Posted on 01/21/2009 5:17:40 AM PST by Red in Blue PA

Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.

So we should give in?

No. We should resist in a way that's prudent and more likely to succeed. And we shouldn't broadcast our strategy in a public forum.

You remind me of a Brittish sympathizer circa 1775.

Not at all actually. OKSooner, feel free to correct me, but if it ever gets to that point it's time to SHUT UP and DO ... not post about it on a public internet forum that the federal government is certain to be monitoring.

Yup we all knew it was coming.. people were buying guns up here in Nevada like there was NO TOMORROW.

Its time to make this a HUGE Issue, not like last time where ARs and AKs were not as common. We have a WHOLE lot more gun owners now, and we need to make this a line in the sand.

Like we did with the immigration protests.. we need to send a loud message, burn up the phone lines, send the letters and let them know that this time, this WILL not stand.

To be effective, thousands must rattle the chains. It is valiant for a dozen people in this forum to motivate each other, but it is preaching to the choir. People who are reading this must pass this info on and they must contact these congress critters and remind them that they have an obligation to the people. Not to Europe, not to the muzzies and not to the special interests, to the US people. Boston Harbor can fill with tea again.

I agree.. His agenda is one thing. Real actions is another. I’ll wait and see, but may invest in guns and ammo in the meantime. Like someone else mentioned, its probably the best investment option right now.

Last I remember, you have to issue your own Executive Orders nullifying those of your predecessor. You can’t just wave your hand and say “anything Bush did, stop it,” or ignore his EO’s.

Agreed. People reading this must email it to every gun owner they know. And ask them to do the same.

"This will...effectively stop reloading (unless you cast your own bullets - but don’t hold your breath for it to stay that way)"

Too bad you can't cast your own primers.

Thank you. What I was pointing out was positive things that gunowners can actually DO, as you point out also, without negative consequences.

Particularly, joining all the 2A organizations one can afford to. Call your congresscritters and your Senators and State representatives. Join local organizations.

These are all things that we can DO, NOW, that MIGHT have a positive impact.

Certain kinds of talk will accomplish nothing positive.
