Bring a large vomit bucket
No, Mr. President, YOU need to do more listening. And here’s your first listening assignment:
“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Now, go to your law books and look up the definition in the United States Code of the “militia.” 10 USC 311 if you need the reference.
Now go to a dictionary and look up “people,” Mr. Constitutional Law Perfesser With Sealed Records.
Now shut the hell up.

No where in the Constitution is hunting mentioned.
BUT the 2nd Amendment states that the right to bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. (pretty clear)
President Barack Obama says gun-control advocates have to do a little more listening than they do sometimes in the debate over firearms in America.
Wouldn't be hard. Right now they don't do any listening.
In an interview with The New Republic, Obama says he has "a profound respect" for the tradition of hunting that dates back for generations.
Hooey! When you see the staged duck hunting thing and invocations of a hunting tradition, you know they're lying.
He’s lying as usual. He’s never touched a gun in his life, and he’s just trying to sound reasonable in order to lull the stupid into believing gun control has validity. The best thing gun control advocates could do for the rest of us is to commit suicide so we don’t have to listen to the lies they tell, either.
“Under my plan, another executive order, I will collect all weapons except govenment manufactured shotguns used for skeet shooting and maybe a bit of fowl hunting, as long as they are registered and stored at the armory in each state’s capital.
In addition, I will be providing a massive $1.75 trillion economic stimulus package solely devoted to making sure that all American neighborhoods have access to skeet shooting ranges. To build these, I will acquire vast areas of residential property by eminent domain, mostly in wealthy neighborhoods, since they can afford it.
To provide the guns, I hereby nationalize all gun and ammo factories. All employees will now receive triple salaries since they work for me now. These facilities will begin tomorrow to produce my new gun, the Volksgun, which I have nicknamed the Obamagun. Pretty clever, huh? They will all be black in memory of all the black youths who have been shot to death by white cops acting stupidly.
Today I am sending this EO to Congress to show them I don’t really need them and will gladly bypass any authority they think they have.
My package includes new training programs for current, and millions of new, union members on the construction technology needed to build these skeet ranges. Thousands of new training schools will be built for this purpose. In addition, I will hire millions of new Muslim Brotherhood immigrants and train them in the main union skill of standing around leaning against shovels. This will make them feel good about themselves and stop blowing us up.
All employees, of course, will receive triple UGW (Union of Gavernment Workers) salaries.
Oh! Did I forget to mention that all unions will be combined into the UGW and will no longer have to deal with local anti-union laws. Anyone who wants to work for me will automatically become a life member of my union. There will be no union dues since I will pay them to myself for them.
I am happy to help those clingers-to-guns continue the great American tradition of sport shooting. Maybe this will prevent them from killing all out children in schools with machine guns. Uh, sorry, no questions. Gotta golf! Later bros!”
Then circle back in an hour to see how he fared, and whether his attitude had changed. Just as a hypothetical exercise.
No Obama, we don’t have to listen to you. YOU have to listen to the Constitution.
He is setting up a bogus strawman.
You guys are not reading between the lines. The ONLY reason that he said what he had to say was because his side is GETTING CLOBBERED in Congress right now, and is in danger of losing everything.
He’s trying to come up with something that can pass...and he’s finding that it isn’t easy.
Snipe hunting, maybe; skeet shoot shooting, doubtful. Did he say which rifle he uses for skeet shooting? Did he say how he cleans and dresses the skeets? Wonder how he has his chef prepare them. Do you think Michelle eats them too?
