Obama's welcome assault on the NRA and gun lovers (Mindset of the left!)

The fact that Congress and Obamanation are perfectly willing to clamp down on a Constitutionally-protected right that was very clearly upheld in Heller is the very reason why Americans NEED to purchase them.

Again, not that we have to prove a need.

“Congress will try to stop them from buying assault rifles — as if there’s any reason in the world for a citizen to own such a thing.”

Well, witless, when liberals take to expanding the definition of “assault weapon” to include anything that fires a round of ammunition, there is good reason to object!

The NRA and GOA should promote a program where we gun owners help non-owners get armed. By help, I mostly mean education about gun laws, but some creative financial assistance wouldn't be a bad thing. Something like a rebate from manufacturers for first year NRA/GOA members. Just imagine, if we each created one new gun owner, we would double the number of gun owners.

The reporter is not only a left wing lunatic who hates the Constitution but his name indicates that he is an Arab muslim.

"-- as if any American family truly needs that much firepower in their home."

Personally, I was thinking more along the lines of a crew-served weapon.

Yael is a Hebrew name, actually. From the Old Testament.

[jveritas]

It is an Arabic name as well. “Abouhallka” is an Arabic name for sure which stands for “father of the ring”.

Because many people fear that Obama and a Democratic-controlled Congress will try to stop them from buying assault rifles -- as if there's any reason in the world for a citizen to own such a thing.

Well, I have several reasons for wanting to "own such a thing":
1) Obama
2) People of his party
3) Tools like the author of that piece

I think it translates as A$$hole without a brain.

[VeniVidiVici]

I find it extremely amusing that a guy named Yael T. Abouhalkah can tell me what weapons I can and cannot have.

I’d like to limit his column inches in print. one sentence per week.

I don’t believe that the constitution ever questions whether “I need” firepower just that it was my right to have it.

[Spok]

“— as if there’s any reason in the world for a citizen to own such a thing.”

I would have agreed with this statement until November 4.

Ironically, this is one of the reasons that I’ve heard from gun controllers - “I wouldn’t trust ME with a gun, so I don’t want ANYONE to have one.”

[Blood of Tyrants]

He is just you typical busy body liberal who believes that liberalism is the absolute right to rule other people’s lives as you see fit.

The Branch Davidians had a virtual arsenal at their disposal. But that didn’t stop Reno’s jack-booted thugs from killing everyone inside, and ergo from “taking their lives AND their weapons”.

I wouldn’t be stating that challenge too loudly these days. I have a feeling the “”new version”” of the Clintonistas will make the olde regime look like Santa Claus by comparison.
