Elliot Fineman, of the National Gun Victims Action Council, has penned an op ed on CNN.com calling for Obama to declare a "National State of Emergency for the Gun Violence Epidemic."
He says this needs to "include universal REAL backgrounds checks, suspending the gun industry's immunity from lawsuits, monitoring ammunition sales and banning those on the terror watch list from buying guns."
Fineman goes on to say:
It is clear why a National State of Emergency scares the gun lobby and pro-gun lawmakers - it would neutralize them. My organization is encouraging a petition. As we tune in to CNN's town hall meeting with Obama, here are my questions. What are yours?
1) Gun violence is a raging epidemic claiming 30,000 lives per year at a cost of $229 billion per year. Why have you not declared a state of emergency to halt the Gun Violence Epidemic?
2) Since the government is the largest purchaser of firearms, why not force the gun manufacturers to make smart guns (guns that will only fire if the fingerprint of the owner matches the trigger) by requiring that the government only purchase smart guns?
He also complains that the "gun lobby" has blocked "a computerized crime gun database at the ATF and a registry of gun owners so that we can identify people who have become unstable or radicalized since buying their guns", that Obama's recent executive orders "are largely symbolic because they won't really solve the problem", and says that “real background checks†would "include interviews with people who know the purchaser (family, neighbors, local police) and with the purchaser himself."
Fineman's son, Michael, was shot in gun control haven San Diego in 2006, and he claims that the killer was "legally" able to buy his gun, despite having served two runs in mental institutions.
Folks, we either cage liberals soon or they will put us on cattle cars later. History is clear on that.
When it comes down to it, there is always only one way to create and preserve freedom.
No, we cannot all just get along.
Some are going to have to go.
Go for it, Elliot. See what happens.
It is never enough for liberals.
The entire 2nd amendment is a loophole to them.
Go for it, Elliot. See what happens.
That’s right. Elliot, you empty the trunk of your car and start confiscating. You won’t last long.
Please put the sarcasm alert before you post next time.
I wonder, is Feinman a Lawyer? Usually there is more of a $$$$ motive behind these kind of movements.
Big mouths like this guy should be the first one through the door.
But he wouldn’t get within a block of a confiscation raid.
BINGO! He’s a typical blowhard wimp. He’d be happy if someone with a gun saved his sorry azz.
I hope they try it. perhaps a little closer to the election.
Except the number of gun deaths is at an all time low, so I learned at the Obama/CNN talk last week ...
He’d also be more than happy to send people with guns to blow gun owners away.
Bet that dad in Brooklyn who was told to ‘get the f*ck out’ before his 18 year old daughter was raped by five guys wishes he had carried a gun...
That’s right. Progressive = Repressive
They’d smirk at conservatives as they loaded them on the cattle cars if they could get things that far along.
Obama —if he sees Hillary fall—will make himself President for a 3rd Term—He would do it too—and Corrupt Congress would just OK it.
[[It is never enough for liberals.
The entire 2nd amendment is a loophole to them.]]
The entire Constitution is a loophole for them.
The are after the 1st amendment to.
Now here is a proposal we can all learn to love.
Lets start with Obama's security team, all other politician's security teams, all federal officers, and then all local police departments.
After that, they can try to foist that BS on the rest of us.
Abortion claims a million lives a year.
Car crashes kill more than guns a year.
Why are they not clamoing for obama to use martial law to end abortion and driving?
Folks, we either cage liberals soon or they will put us on cattle cars later. History is clear on that.
No, we cannot all just get along.
Bullseye
However I would strongly encourage all fascist leftist liberal do-gooders to keep talking, say it loudly and proudly for all to hear, demand radical gun control and confiscation. Voice your awesome beliefs!
