Obama claims to have been a Constitutional law instructor. It seems that many of them have the warped idea that in regards to the first 10 Amendment, even though they were approved "en bloc," and all ten use similar phrasing and wording, 9 of the 10 mean one thing, while the wording of the tenth (the second Amendment) means something completely different. Hell, I'm sure that Obama doesn't recognize the validity of the 9th or 10th Amendment either.

I wish it was only Barack Mugabe who had contempt for the Constitution, but I believe that the entire American political class has nothing but contempt for it.

Well, it does tend to hamper their plans a bit.

That certainly isn’t enough to make your case on. You can read Freepers say the same thing without meaning what you contend.

Could they and should they change give to recognize? Sure.

But to ascribe the motive you do to them based on this is really thin ice.

I was in a Wal Mart just the other day and their shelves were pretty low on everything except shotgun ammo. Another customer asked for a specific ammo, they were out. When asked when more was coming in, the person said they had no idea. But if they had more ammo they would have no problem selling it.
So it makes me wonder exactly how true your sources are.
Perhaps the big retailers have been tipped of an upcoming action the citizenry is not privvy to?

The time I believe is very close to a major confrontation between citizens and government.

I just used the ‘contact’ button to send this:

“On the Whitehouse.gov site, there is an incorrect statement about the 2nd Amendment:

“The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms.”

“This is incorrect. The right isn’t ‘given’ - it is a natural right of all free people. The 2nd Amendment PROTECTS our right to keep & bear arms. In other words the government may not infringe on it. A fact that this administration probably needs to be reminded of periodically.”

Very sincerely!

The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms.

Notice how the website makes no mention of the right to keep such arms.

Obama claims to have been a Constitutional law instructor.
He also claims to be black when he's actually a mulatto.

Nothing has been restocked on the shelves since Nov. 4th as the try to move all their stock from the warehouses.

It could also be as easily explained by the rush on ammo is such that manufacturers are having trouble keeping up. Thus creating 'bubbles' in the line of supply.
I think we'll see them catching up. That's not to say that there ARE retailers who are being jerks about it. But I think the majority can be explained by normal market dynamics.

As did I;

"This site looks very nice but there is a glaring mistake that I believe should be brought to the attention of the designers.
The section titled "The Bill of Rights" states, "The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms." This is totally incorrect.
None of the first 10 amendments 'gives' citizens any rights. They specifically detail the limits placed on our government as concerning certain "unalienable rights" which we are endowed with by our Creator. This page should be corrected."

Core differences between liberty in the United States and in Europe is that Europeans believe that citizens surrendered their rights to the body politic in exchange for guaranteed civil rights and rule by the majority. (socialism)

In the United States, citizens have God given rights that are protected from the reach of government. These are retained rights over which the power of government was not delegated. The individual is also protected from the majority through the pronciples of stare decisis - reaching back to preserve the rights of Englishmen that existed in King Richard’s time and the Roman limitation on regulation of behaviors and property use to the protection of general public health and safety from substantial injury.

Check out other gun retailers. It’s the same story. Ammo is disappearing. Same at gun shows. Are people hoarding? What ammo I do find is very very high. I hope this is a temporary thing.

President Obama did not grow up hunting and fishing,

That little pansy as* doesn’t fish, hunt, probably has no clue how to change the oil in a car, mow a lawn, I’m telling you he is a girl in a man’s suit. The more I see him the more feminine seems. Not sure Sinclair was lying.
