I think/hope there were so many orders they suspended their purchases to get their act together, not to be politically correct.

Obama speaking now on TV...
"The vast majority of responsible gun owners support a ban on assault rifles and large capacity magazines..."
"I will use all the powers of my office to do what needs to be done to reduce gun violence..."
He's putting Biden in charge of a get-together of interested parties to come up with something to be presented to Congress in January. Realizes that part of the problem is "social."
"Questions?"
Question from reporter on the fiscal mess...
I think/hope there were so many orders they suspended their purchases to get their act together, not to be politically correct.
“Yawn! from my cold dead fingers”
Well. That’s great for you. You’ve already got yours I assume. What about those that don’t? And, it’s not just about guns it’s about the Constitution, civil liberties. It is about so much more than guns.
And what weapons were part of Fast & Furious, which 0bama and Holder knew of by March, 2009?
“Weapons purchased during the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives‘ controversial “Fast and Furious” undercover investigation, which included the sale to “straw buyers” of hundreds of AK-47 assault rifles, have turned up at a dozen violent crime scenes across the Southwest, the Justice Department told a Senate committee.”

Obama: “I’m working on gun control under the radar”
Plans include enacting restrictions via executive order, bypassing Congress
by Jack Minor
While the Obama administration said it is committed to gun rights, a gun control advocate has spilled the beans, saying Obama is using stealth to work on firearms restrictions.
The Washington Post did a story on Steve Croley, the White House gun control czar. Croley is considered to be an expert on regulation and tort law. His approach to gun control appears to be a regulatory one.
According to the article, Jim and Sarah Brady visited Capital Hill on March 30, the 30th anniversary of the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan; to push for a ban on “large magazines.”
The couple reportedly were meeting with press secretary, Jay Carney, when, according to Sarah Brady, the President came in. She said the President told her he wanted to talk about gun control and “fill us in that it was very much on his agenda.”
She went on to say Obama told her, “I just want you to know that we are working on it. We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar.”
The statement reinforces an article in the Huffington Post describing how the administration is exploring ways to bypass Congress and enact gun control through executive action.”

“Headline is this: “Obama Made Pre-Inaugural ‘Pledge’ on Stopping Guns to Mexico; Holder, Napolitano Worked Issue From First Month — Three and a half years before he invoked executive privilege in refusing to hand over to Congress internal Justice Department documents about Operation Fast and Furious—and just eight days before his inauguration—President-elect Barack Obama met with Mexican President Calderon over lunch at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Washington, D.C., and ‘pledged’ that he would take action aimed at stopping the flow of guns into that country from the United States.
“Public statements from both Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano demonstrate that they were both personally working on this issue from their first month in office. Explaining the pledge that Obama made to Calderon at their Jan. 12, 2009 lunch...” I was having lunch with W. that day, because that was my birthday. I was having lunch in the Oval Office dining room that day while Obama is meeting with Calderon across town at the Mexican Cultural Institute.”
“Bud’s is sold out, as well as the other shops I frequent (at least of anything I’d be interested in)...... Unintended consequences.....”
I was on the site last night and many of the .38 specials were sold out....He sent out an email explaining why service has been slower than usual even with the holidays, explaining it was the recent events coupled with the election......
Thanks for the heads-up, brocko! Time for me to stock up (again).
It’s ironic that the only growth industry prior to and during this nitwit’s presidential term has been guns and ammo.
It’s the law of unintended consequences working right on cue.
“The vast majority of responsible gun owners support a ban on assault rifles and large capacity magazines...”
If that’s true, then why don’t you put it to a vote, Obama?
“The vast majority of responsible gun owners support a ban on assault rifles and large capacity magazines...”

MOLON LAVE!
Joe Biden couldn't think his way out of a paper bag.
might want to take care of your own town first......
Really, was there ever any doubt?
Remember when the media declared that regular, freedom-loving, law-abiding Americans were “nuts” and “paranoid” when they went on a gun-buying spree after the first election of Obama?
The second term is upon us. Obama now has the freedom to be what he truly is without having to lie about it or suffer the consequences: a gun-grabbing, anti-individual freedom, big government Fascist.
Obviously gun owners who do NOT support a ban on assault rifles and high cap mags are not "responsible"...
You just have to see underneath the normal wording and see what they mean. We're the creepy fanatic on the edge irresponsible dangerous nutcase gun owners, you know - the ones who don't support said bans.
