Obama: AK-47s Belong In The Hands Of Soldiers, Not Civilians (video)

I, like most Americans, believe that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms," President Obama said at the National Urban League convention in New Orleans. "I think we recognize the traditions of gun ownership that passed on from generation to generation. That hunting and shooting are a cherished national heritage."

"But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals. That they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities," Obama said Wednesday night.

I totally support the Second Amendment, BUT there are certain guns I want banned. Many gun owners agree with me. Lots.

Well, it’s worked in the past, why not now?

Would you please share that list with us?

I saw what you did there, Barry, you worthless piece of filth.

Nobody’s arguing about the appropriateness of guns in the hands of criminals. What about peaceable citizens, Barry Hussein? Do you believe that “AK-47s” (could you identify one, if you saw it?) belong in the hands of peaceable citizens? US Constitution says “yes”. How ‘bout you, Barry?”

You touched on the meaning of Obozo’s statement. What he was saying, is anyone who is not a soldier is a criminal!

If you want some guns banned then by your own admission you DO NOT support The 2nd Amendment. Perhaps you don’t understand what it means. I’d suggest you study up a bit and come back when you’ve gained knowledge of the facts.
And, as another poster asked....how about a list of what you’d like banned, and more importantly.....WHY.

Yeah, an AK round, 7.62mm x 39mm is comparable to a .30-30 round, about the minimum you’d want to hunt deer with.

Exactly, Winchester, Remington, Marlin and others sell 30 caliber rifles with 5 and 6 round capability.

Any trained troop knows the bang bang bang is preferred over ratatattattattat. Even on auto, it's only a 3 round burst.

The idea of an infantry rifle is a well aimed round.

So Obama believes that Mexican Drug dealers are “Soldiers”.

And so does Eric “Fast and Furrious” Holder.

I hear ya. They're quite accessible. I have magazines loaded for each weapon. The only concession to safety is to not have the magazines inserted in those rifles. I am well practiced in loading them and shooting them, of course. However, my pistols are loaded and ready to go. Funny that you should mention not concealing the ak pistol... I could do that lawfully and dimensionally if I wanted...

Somebody clue Barry the constitutional law professor in that the 2nd ammendment isn’t about hunting.

I believe the civilians of this country, to defend against tyrants, have the dual role of militia.

This is just part of Obama's latest plan to create jobs - at the gun & ammo shops.

You have to be a big thumper, then. I have problems concealing a small .380. I'm not a big guy.

Technically, we ARE the government. Try to run a country without people. Pretty low crime stats, but not much in the way of production.

It's becoming time to shrug off some of the crap that's been piled on for the last 100 years.
