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.

For those in the great state of Texas, another organization worth supporting is the Texas State Rifle Association: Texas State Rifle Association

Imagine floating the idea of anyone who ever had PTSD or depression could never get a pen to write an Editorial?

Why is trampling on the 2nd A so acceptable to so many?

Nice you support the current administrations efforts to suppress Constitutional freedoms.

Say what you will. I just encourage you to be careful what you say and where you say it. These people have no interest in Freedom of Speech and don't think for a second they will refrain from punishing their critics.

And they will be watching places like FR very closely.

What you say is true.

However, if they have no problem trampling of rights explicitly outlined in no uncertain terms in the 2nd Amendment, methinks they will simply find a way to get you if they really want to.

Laugh all you want, but this is breaking news, as it was released yesterday and yet no channel is covering it. They are still talking about the gown, the dancing......

And I for one do not think trampling on 2nd A rights is in any way humorous. Call me crazy.

Know that if you are involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital you lose your second amendment rights. It is a tough situation for some, if they do not involuntarily commit they are liable for the entire bill which for a long weekend could easily run to twenty thousand. if they are committed they lose their second amendment rights.

And any adult who says they haven't ever suffered from depression is lying.(and lying on your federal firearms form is a crime)

"... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one MAKES them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. ......just pass the the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted -- and you create a nation of law-breakers -- and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."- p.411, Ayn Rand, ATLAS SHRUGGED, Signet Books, NY, 1957 "...

Aholes have been grabbing guns since 1934.

Concerning more contemporary news, who among us, that is a gun owner, was not aware that the big O was gun grabber?

Who was not aware that his whole cabinet is gun grabbers?

Who was not aware that the whole liberal agenda of guns is simply to grab them, all of them, at every opportunity, at every turn, no matter the cost, economically or socially

Who was not aware that this type of chit would come down as soon as the big O sits down in the oval office for the first time?

Who does not know that both houses of congress have been chomping at the bit for the chance, and now have a green light to push loathsome legislation down our throats?

This is why I laugh that this is considered breaking news by some. If it is breaking news to you, where have you been since conception?

The manifestation of their actions I do not find in the least humorous. The mention that it is breaking news is certainly worthy of a snicker, minimally. More like a BWAHAHAHA

Look at the Breaking News items. Surely this is BIGGER news if not breaking news.

And snicker all you want. I am just trying to get the word out, as most probably do not know exactly hat is spelled out on the whitehouse.gov website.

The tyrants are becoming paranoid. The people have more guns and more ammo now than they do. The people are restless, and have indicated that they are not going to tolerate this crap much longer. Because the “powers that be” cannot control the guns nor can the control the populace yet, they are controlling the ammo.

There is still some out there, you just have to search for it, and it is more expensive than it was. There are still guns out there if you get them private treaty. I wouldnt buy a gun at a show or anywhere there might be security cameras or anywhere that you have to do anything other than hand over the cash and take the gun and disappear.

Whether certain posters like it or not, this country is teetering on the edge of another violent confrontation. People are not going to put their heads in the sand and let this just blow over. But then, I wouldnt know, I had to sell all my guns to pay the bills cause we got laid off and dont have any job.

He’s wasting no time. For the people that own assault weapons and voted for Obama, they get what they deserve. Of course, I doubt he’ll be able to fully ban assault weapons because the criminals will still have them.

Actually he intends to make criminals out of all of us who own so-called assault weapons. They better remember the law of uninteded consequences though.

The first is really expensive ... the rest, free.

I certainly do applaud your sincerity and actions.

nevertheless, I still think your initial statement to the mods was funny.

You have guns? You must be lucky, we had to sell all of ours to pay the bills, since we got laid off and have no jobs.

Can I have your ammo since you won't be needing it?

ps

I believe that most at this site could probably write what it says on the dem/lib sites verbatum from memory.

It is the sheeple who need to know this, and they do not visit this site.
