Obama blasts 'imaginary fiction' of taking away guns
CNN ^ | 1/7/2016

Posted on 01/07/2016 7:02:41 PM PST by Lazamataz

President Barack Obama rejected the "imaginary fiction" that he wanted to take away the guns of law-abiding Americans during a town hall meeting on his gun policies aired on CNN Thursday night. "The way it is described, is that we are trying to take away everybody's guns," Obama said, charging that his opponents had twisted his plans on gun safety measures.

"Our position is consistently mischaracterized," Obama said. "If you listen to the rhetoric, it is so over-the-top, it is so overheated."

Every time his lips move, we figure lies are coming out. This has proven correct at least 99.44% of the time.

You have it right. He imagines it’s fiction, ergo it’s his alternate reality, which is always the alternative to truth. Remember, this is the guy who said some neighborhoods sell guns cheaper than books. In his neighborhood, he sells bridges cheaper than . . . well, anything.

On the “analysis” after the “meeting”, some cop had the audacity to suggest Obama didn’t enforce laws against black criminals. Black Communist Van Jones nearly had a stroke.

A government that uses the IRS or any branch thereof, to punish political opponents, IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED, and should be diminished, at first light.

So this is all the farther he plans on going? This was his goal? We shouldn’t complain because he has no intention of trying to get more restrictions passed? Whoa! That is a relief.

I have a very nice piece next to me as I type. It will be here long after 0bama is relegated to the stinking garbage heap of history. I am no longer even remotely interested in his idiot opinion on the matter.

Listening to Obama say this is like listening to a pedophile say he doesn’t like children. Of course his sick twisted fantasy is to disarm American citizens so his Muslim terrorist buddies can play whack a mole with their scimitars. He’s Taqiyyan again.

Back in 1976, the Anti-gun people showed their REAL intent.

Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.

Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.

So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.

My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”

-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58

“Yes, I”m for an outright ban [on handguns].”

-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview

HCI, around 1984, came out in favor of a ban on semi-auto rifles and shotguns.

> Quiet majority will get loud before it gets too out of hand .......

They are already starting to and even his own people are turning away from him in droves now. Much of what the liberals laughed at patriots for saying several years has now come true and they (the sane or redeemable ones) are finally worried now that his actions have direcly impacted them.
