NRA president: Door-to-door gun confiscation a "legitimate fear"

The National Rifle Association didn't disagree with everything in President Obama's proposal today to cut back on escalating gun violence, the group's president David Keene told CBS News Senior White House Correspondent Bill Plante today, but with coming talks of reform, he said there are "legitimate" fears on the horizon for law-abiding gun owners.

One of his fears: that a universal background check for anyone purchasing a firearm - the first of Mr. Obama's suggestions today - would lead to a national tracking registry of gun owners. That, in turn, Keene said, could give way to "forced buybacks," or, door-to-door confiscation of specific weapons by the government.

"In other words, 'I have a record that you have a shotgun, and you're going to sell it to the government, or else,'" Keene said. "That's the equivalent of confiscation."

Keene said when others suggest harboring such a concern is simply "being paranoid," "you point to senators and governors who want to do exactly that," he said. "The governor of Illinois said they want to knock on doors and confiscate guns. That's not an irrational fear."

Another point of disagreement was Mr. Obama's call to reinstate and strengthen the assault weapons ban. Keene indicated that a hammer, one of the deadliest weapons in recent years, has been more to blame for rising murder tolls in the United States than semiautomatic weapons...

“When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”

“We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” - Barack Obama

TREASON - in real-time, pre-meditated, in-your-face, unquestioned, ABETTED, unchecked, continuous, ongoing...

Representation checking?...questioning? ZERO

—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Conservatives and supporters of the 2nd amendment the Obama regime is using the 2nd amendment argument to blame gun owners for its inability to deal with the hundreds of gangland murders and shootings commited in areas under their solid control using illegally obtained firearms.

Their solution to those inner city problems is to remove those rights provided by the constitution to have and bear arms from all US citizens.
None of those 23 so called “reforms” and unconstitutional efforts being edicted by who some call an emporer do not deal with the following issues briefly outlined below .

They won’t because instead of creating a uniformly democratic society where every citizen has an equal voice no matter what their race or ethnicity.

Obama’s policies have grouped races and ethnic groups gerrymandering congressional districts where much of this criminal activity occurs. GOPES {goverment of the people (republican party) elites} see this issue as a 3rd rail because most of it is black on black or illegal vs illegal (Mexican) activity .

GOPES are also afraid to say that policy also increased racial tension which is manifested in in increased attacks some of which have resulted in deaths.But again GOPES accept this because of the influence of mainline socialist media which would be accusing them of “racism” if they dare to question it.

As stated from the outset the purpose of all this hype on guns is to keep the right and conservatives focused on what the Demo-Coms describe as issues through their propaganda arm known as the MSM (mainline socialist media) not on the problems created by the “Libs” on their road of good intentions or the socialist/fascists/communists successors to comtrol over todays Democrat party; Which is the budget costs and where our money is going.

Not one word will address or offer a solution about the hundreds of gangland murders and shootings using illegaly obtained mostly handguns and revolvers .Not “assault weapons” which are really single shot per trigger pull rifles. Used for small game hunting or target practice. That are made to look like their military counterpart. which by the way since Viet Nam and a DOD decision are small caliber and designed to wound not necessarilly kill which is why they are automatic and fire many rounds once the trigger is in the pulled position. .

Obama certainly can’t critique a system created by his ilk .Ignored in his 23 edicts is that when once caught, perps get set free with lenient sentencing from “liberal” judges or sob sister plea bargain prosecution promoted by the MSM,The New York Times CNN, NBC and,ABC. There’s certainly no criticism of “no snitch” mentality partcularly in areas where these shootings are rampant.

It would be nice at these rallys if speakers would point these facts out to Obamas adoring public.

Another poster stated that door to door confiscation would likely never happen.

According to that poster, all they would have to do is freeze your bank accounts, stop your O-care, etc. to coerce people into turning in their weapons.

“But they can’t do that! That would be illegal!”

Look at all the crap they’re already doing that’s illegal.

If the rumors about how B of A (which some affectionately refer to as Bank of Aholes) is treating gun folk are true, why would anyone think such action from our government would be impossible on a nationwide level?

All it would take is a stroke of a pen after enough people in congress push it forward to get along or because “something should be done. For the children.”

I have no fears of door to door confiscation.

I fear all the other things they can do to make life miserable without even rising from their chairs.

HELP please!

I don’t know how to post a topic here, and would make a mess of it, soooooooo....

I was wondering if you could help get the word out about the NY Gun Law protest planned for this Saturday, the 19th, 12 noon, NY State Capitol Building, State St., Albany NY.

Short notice, I admit, but then we had also little notice of the new law that got crammed down our throats. Turns out the “law” is worse than a lot of people think. Big surprise there.

Unfortunately we don’t seem to have the penchant for organizing last minute protests as do the opposite camp, but lets hope we can get a good crowd!

There is more info below. We need the word to go out fast.

An other fear si that millions of NRA mebers who faithfulyl sent in their ‘dues’ every year won’t have anyone fro mthe NRA to effectually represent htem in NY when cuomo ILLEGALLY violates their second amendment rights-

Oh wait- that fear has already been realized- Psssst- NRA- Ads aren’t an effect defense of hte second amendment- organizing your members and convincing htem to withhold their state taxes because the governor fails to do the job he was hired to do IS an effective means- threatenign the gov witrh removal from office for abuse of power- and takign legal action agaisnt him personally IS an effective means- Wher’s al lthem oney goign to NRA? Yuo don’t have enough to hire competent lawyers to stop the NY clown? Take your ads and stuff them-
