DENVER (TheBlaze/AP) Ratcheting up pressure for Congress to limit access to guns, President Barack Obama said Wednesday that recent steps by Colorado to tighten its gun laws show there doesnt have to be a conflict between keeping citizens safe and protecting Second Amendment rights to gun ownership.
I believe there doesnt have to be a conflict in reconciling these realities, Obama said in Denver, where he stepped up his call for background checks for all gun purchases and renewed his demand that Congress at least vote on banning assault weapons and limiting access to large-capacity ammunition magazines.
The president dismissed gun owners concerns that gun control legislation could be a stepping stone to gun confiscation in the U.S., saying I am constrained by a system our founders put in place.

There is an absolute and natural conflict between gun control and liberty.

Strange that a president of the USA would look upon our constitution as an impediment. Even stranger that he got elected. Someone with the same patriotic qualities as the Rosenbergs is our pres.

“limiting access”
Infringe = to limit
Let me mondernize a quaint little ditty:
The rights of the people to own weapons shall not be limited.

obama thinks the constitution is living and maliable to apply to reproductive science, mating behavior, email, technology for searches, electronic voting etc.
HOWEVER
it is not flexible when it comes to modern protection replacing muskets.

Correct !! Also folks remember ,we have seen this nonsense before just ask the Jews of Germany,Poland,Czechoslovakia etc. There is a reason that the 20th century was known as the century of the open mass grave. When leftists & “Progressives”claim that guns are evil what they really mean is YOU having a gun is evil have no doubt that they would hesitate for a second to put a bullet in the back of your head as you stand at the edge of a open mass grave.

The law prof Ann Althouse - not exactly the most conservative blogger out there and with whom I disagree often - nailed the scary implications of his remarks today:
It's an idea of constitutional government as a political system, within which rights are only another manifestation of what the people want. And, in the ultimate scary twist on the idea of rights: Government is not to be regarded as in need of limits, because the government is us. Anything we the government want to do is never tyranny, but freedom.
