Obama supports some gun control
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | February 01, 2009

Posted on 02/02/2009 9:31:36 PM PST by george76

The Obama administration, cited by many Georgia gun owners as the reason they applied for concealed-carry permits last year, supports restrictions on certain kinds of guns and certain kinds of gun sales.

Brundage said Obama supports reviving the expired ban on assault weapons and making it permanent. And he backs closing the “gun show loophole,” ...

Obama said: “This has been peddled again and again. Here’s what I believe … people have the right to bear arms. But I also believe there is nothing wrong with some common-sense gun safety measures.”

Hey Bamster - concentrate on keeping this country from terrorist attacks and from having a world class economic meltdown. After you accomplish all that, if you can that is, then maybe you can screw around with the 2nd Amendment.

When he says “common sense gun control” be afraid. That has definite Chicago meaning.

Here it comes, folks.

If you’re not already, it’s time to go into debt to buy guns and ammo. Don’t forget to buy armor while you’re at it.

BHO supported the DC gun ban, then pretended otherwise.

Zero means the crooks can have all the guns they want. The average American, however, must be controlled. Just ask Nancy Pelosi.

Common sense measures is liberal speak for gun control. He'll push it through restrictions and huge taxes on ammo sales...and add to ti a myriad of those "common sense" laws.

Those foolish common sense laws gave us Columbine, cre4ating killing zones for the depraved and criminally minded amongst our own kids.

Obama is for complete confiscation of ALL firearms (from law-abiding and patriotic Americans who he says cling to their Bibles and their guns).

I believe Obama is keenly aware of the founder’s purpose for the 2nd Amendment and would like nothing more to make an end-run around that as a self-defense move for his socialistic plans.

Wow, everything is totally overpriced now.

What ammo deal to cost 100 dollars now costs 200 dollars.

What magazine-fed rifle used to cost 1500 dollars now costs 3500 dollars.

Glad I got everything before The Big Scare.

Sheesh!

Common Sense Gun Safety Measures:

Treat every firearm as if it is loaded, always.

Never point the firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy

Never place your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

Be sure of what is beyond your target, and make sure nothing you do not want to hit is in the line of fire.

Always use enough gun.

The only time you can have too much ammo is when you are either on fire or trying to swim with it.

It is never a question of how many rounds are in the magazine, the one which will do damage is the one in the chamber.

Never hand a loaded firearm to a dumbass (see the first rule).

Never let a bunch of citified wussies make arbitrary and ridiculous rules for country boys who won't follow them anyway.

So what's the problem here? If I can't have a gun, I'll steal one!

Of course Obama is a liar. He is for draconian anti-gun laws with a goal of disarming law abiding citizens.

Eric Holder is his AG because of Holder’s anti-gun positions. My only question is how far and how fast he will try to disarm the people and how will the people respond.

***He has “common sense?” Why do you think I chose my tagline? My husband’s been after me to join and I finally did. Wise man.***
