Obama talks of limiting some gun use in wake of Colorado massacre
FoxNews ^ | July 25, 2012 | FoxNews

President Obama has added his voice to the push for limits on Americans' gun use in the wake the massacre last week at a movie theater in Colorado.

Obama, speaking Wednesday evening to the National Urban League, affirmed his belief in Americans' right to own guns, but he singled out assault rifles as better suited for soldiers than civilians.

"I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms," Obama said. "But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not on the streets of our cities."

And nobody mentions, that if there had been people carrying firearms in the first few rows, they most likely would have shot him and prevented most of the carnage.

The solution is for MORE people to carry guns and be trained to use them.

“”But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not on the streets of our cities.”

Hereintheheartland believes the White House belongs in the hands of someone who has a basic understanding and respect of the Constitution; and not in the hands of a Marxist.

When the police, and any military likely to be used to control American civilians, are prohibited from semi-auto armaments within our borders, I’ll agree with this fool of a President.

Voting is a device that can serve as a great safety valve, and stop a nation from plunging into chaos and violence. Now, however, the nation is inhabited by dependents, idiots, and malcontented morons who have a right to vote. I fear we may be outnumbered so badly that even if we get a great conservative turn out, to vote for a RINO, we may have no chance of beating the lord of the plantation.

How many of the daily black-on-black gun murders in Soetoro’s Chicago involve AK-47s?

The leftwing koo-koo base is p*ssed that the president hasn't taken full advantage of the Colorado tragedy to push their anti-2nd Amendment agenda. Obama is obviously in trouble with them, otherwise the last thing he'd do before the election is come down on the side of gun control.

The Left's base is truly pissed, and that's funny because any leftist pol would need to wait for a week or so for the whores in the media to do their magic and mold public opinion.

Of course, the press is running with this like crazy.

For Obama, the a gun ban works for him because it would help get his base in line. For Dem Congressmen, a proposed gun ban is a nightmare, but O won't have any trouble throwing them under the bus.

UN arms treaty takes shape, raising alarm among gun rights advocates

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/07/25/un-treaty-takes-shape-and-takes-aim-at-gun-owners/

“For a treaty to become U.S. law, two-thirds of the Senate must vote to ratify it. Still, experts told FoxNews.com that if the Obama administration signs on and the Senate does not expressly reject it, the treaty may later be enforceable in the United States as international “customary law” - absent a successful challenge based on the Constitution. “

Of course! Just like in good old Chicago where everyone but the criminals have effectively been disarmed by the toughest gun control laws in the country.
It’s those bitter middle-americans who cling to guns and religion that need to be controlled because they just might defend themselves.
It is much less about guns than it is Control.

Communists have killed how many? Maybe 150 million of their own citizens often by class warfare. I think Obama is proud to be of the same idiology. I am ashamed of him.

Well, well, well.

The builder of The Obama Rifles, commonly called Fast and Furious, (with all due credit to his significant somebody helper-builder AG Holder), is getting into Gun-Running in the Rockies too.

This has been a busy week for World Class Dictator Creepy Commie Kenyan Obama.

The UN has gotten promises from Obama that he will violate, again, the US Constitution by signing a UN Gun Control Agreement, and now The Rockies!

Wow! How does a loose-lipped Dictator find time to even have enemies?

Sign this, fly there, raise money from hated millionaires and billionaires, speak another sermon on Commune Amerika! Busy, busy, busy!

Yep. Obama perfected his gun-running with fast and furious.

I guess that is what Obama means when he says: “I want everybody to have a fair shot.”

Stupid me, I thought he was talking about a shot of Whiskey!
