Anyone want to suggest we vote to make the presidency idiot proof ??We engineers have a saying: "We try to make things idiot proof, but they just make better idiots."

Got that right. Again, Massachusetts will make a perfect model for Obama's national disarmament initiative, under the smokescreen of "common sense".
The Massachusetts Gun Control Act of 1998 resulted in an 84% decrease in the number of licensed gun owners since it went into effect - pretty effective disarmament I'd say. Over that period, gun-related homicides have INCREASED 68%
I'm doing my little part: as a life-long MA resident, I've never bothered with the extreme hassle this state imposes on its subjects to exercise our RKBA. But no more - my LTC is being processed now and I'm going to buy as many guns as I can possibly afford and that She Who Must Be Obeyed will tolerate.
More good info HERE, for anyone who is interested to know what is going on in MA. And you BETTER be interested, because this WILL be the model for what Obama wants to do nationwide.

Just so you know, Obama’s idea of an “Assault Weapon Ban” will make the days of the Clinton Ban look like the “Good old days”...

Waiting for a response from all the "pro-gun" Dem congressmen who were elected two years ago....

LOL! When we were designing equipment for our semiconductor manufacturing lines, one of our engineers would remind us,
"We have sweet little old ladies out there who could utterly destroy a 2" stainless ball bearing -- with a cotton swab..." '-)

Its past time to make guns a TOXIC subject in this country.. touch our guns.. and expect to lose elections. That simple.
He wants a CLINTON style Assault weapons ban, and childproof guns huh.. well I say we give them pure hell non stop until they drop it with the gun bans.. like we did with immigration.. light up the phone lines.. scream, protest, and let them know we will not tolerate gun bans in this country.
Enough already.

Just the tip of the iceberg. Just a warmup.
Lot more too come. Lots.
Heaven help us ‘cause we certainly won’t help ourselves.

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. Commonsense measures according to who, exactly?

I think the Heller decision addressed the locking them up thing, and opened some other doors too.
