If You Want To Ban Guns, Just Say So
The Federalist ^ | June 11, 2014 | David Harsanyi

Posted on 06/15/2014 2:48:51 PM PDT by QT3.14

While answering a few questions on Tumblr this week, President Obama informed participants that “our levels of gun violence are off the charts.” He claimed that it was incomprehensible that congress hadn’t reacted to overwhelming public opinion and passed legislation to expand gun background checks, adding that nations like Australia had long ago enacted sensible gun control laws to stop mass shootings:

‘Rats and the left will never say exactly what they mean, but their actions give them away. They won’t say we want your guns, they just nibble everywhere to take them away. They won’t say they want one party total control government, they just allow criminaliens over the border to change the electorate, and fight voter ID. That’s but two examples... must be thousands.

More proof that the dumbass Kenyan doesn’t understand how the Bill of Rights work OR WHAT THEY MEAN!!! I’ve always said it was a dumbass idea to put an America-hating, non-American in the Oval Office.

As I visit blogs, read commentary, the internet news and even here on FR, it seems obama has good reason to want guns removed from the hands of free men and women, his reason, fear.

Inner party Democrapublicanese:
“We just need a little more control over guns, that’s all, ya da ya da ya da.” translated: “Excepting the military, police and our security, we just want all firearms confiscated, period.”

“Comprehensive immigration reform” = “Amnesty”

etc.

The appropriate response from the opposition party is:

“What you propose requires a change to the Constitution. If you wish to change the Constitution, propose an amendment and put it to a vote of Congress and the states as provided for in the Constitution.”

Instead what we get from the opposition party, just like on every other issue of importance is silence or acquiescence.

The problem they have is even if they do manage to bend the Constitution to their will, we still have the right to effectively defend ourselves against those more powerful, more numerous and less-principled than ourselves.

Not completely. Just from honest, law-abiding non-violent citizens. The seasoned, violent criminals would get to keep their illegal guns.

So that they can just take whatever they want from the ‘oppressors.’

Try to imagine the pickle we would all be in right now if we didn’t have guns. I shudder at the thought of what the govt would be doing to all of us.

Ask those in Colorado how public opinion was at the recalls

Like just about everything from Obama, this is just another smoke screen to divert attention from the fact that pretty much everything he and his administration has touched over the last 5 1/2 years has turned into poo.

"Say what?"

Obama and other politicians want to remove the guns from men for fear of them revolting and killing the politicians.
