Obama hopes to enact new gun-control measures in 2013
The Hill ^ | 12/30/2012 | Meghashyam Mali

President Obama on Sunday said he would make gun control a priority in his new term, pledging to put his “full weight” behind passing new restrictions on firearms in 2013.

“I'm going to be putting forward a package and I'm going to be putting my full weight behind it,” said Obama in an interview aired on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I'm going to be making an argument to the American people about why this is important and why we have to do everything we can to make sure that something like what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary does not happen again.”

I like that conspiracy theory where Sandy Hook was done by the Ibama admin, carried out by the older brother and other Black Ops,and the little brother got blamed, sort of like fast and Furious, just to drum up support for Gun Control

,Why is Obama pushing this country into civil war?

By the time America figures out it has been sold into slavery by the monetary system it will be too late. America will be beat down, looted, feminized and begging for a crust of bread

That’s bs. Obama thanks you for you campaigning for him

how does it feel to campaign for Obama the most despicable piece of crap ever to destroy a great country?

You will say all Rommey’s talk of federalism was just pure lies right? You people who stayed home have helped destroy this country and your own individual rights and freedom.

I didn't stay home. I voted for a conservative.

How does it feel to support a liberal? Because I didn't. You did.

Romney DID sign the 'assault weapon' ban when he was governor. You can't deny that your liberal did that.

Gun control will pass because Boner will give in and get his party to vote for it.

Ban “Box cutters?” You ain’t seen anything yet. Wait until these Muslim psychotic nut jobs detonate a Nuke in one of our cities. Let’s pray this never happens.

You seem to be trapped in a party system that screws you. I’m not. I’m a conservative.

Your whining about this is pathetic. Want votes? Field better candidates or keep your mouth shut and stay on the plantation. I am no longer one of the GOP plantation slaves. If you choose that life, don’t blame me. Look in the mirror and spray your invective a there.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn Excellent find ponygirl..!! Thank you... “I will not go quietly into the night, rage RAGE at the dying of the light”

Lots of folks whining and trying to cast blame because their liberal candidate couldn't get enough votes.

You, personally, are single-handedly responsible for the collapse of western civilization..... or your vote was meaningless. Take your pick, that's the only two tunes they know.

I'm with you. My vote goes to the conservative, and never the anti-gun, pro-abortion, Romneycare author, liberal.

Getting 'damned' for sticking by principles.. It is to laugh at the liberal supporters.

I sold my weapons to a friend of a friend. No, I don’t remember his name. He paid me in cash and that was all that I needed from him. That was six months ago. Said he was “Going Gault”. Haven’t seen either one of them in months.

And how’s Mitt been doing? Oh, yeah, his own says he didn’t want the job anywho.

Some of us had ‘problems’ with a NE liberal being foisted upon us. Some here, as he was the party’s choice, felt that was good enough for them...no matter if they just putting ‘their’ douche-bag in the office for another.

Sorry, I don’t willingly follow party; my vote is earned instead.

Good thing 0bama had his agencies buy millions of rounds of ammo before the election that he conveniently won where he immediately called the U.N. to restart the U.N. small arms treaty before the convenient Sandy Hook massacre that occurred conveniently before the start of his gun-grabbing second term following his escalation of hiring of federal workers to be armed with millions of rounds to enforce his gun ban.

No, my friend, you’d only sell out those who dared to take a stand instead of kneel before the party (in power).

I’ll not go quietly on the buses (cattle cars) if that time ever comes, but I’d sure know there are fellow Men who would gladly sell out their ‘own side’ so they themselves could sleep at night thinking their own cause was just; even if the war was lost. You sure ain’t getting any help from your own party.

But it’s good to know you’ll lay down your principles to Party to (try to) win.

“Start with big city feral gun-toting youth and gangs, please.”

Absolutely. Most gun deaths occur in the gun controlled Democratically controlled cities. Eliminate gun free zones that the mentally ill and deranged have historically targeted as a soft target. Examine the relationship with mind control psychotic correcting prescribed drugs and DNA and violence. What drugs was Lanza on?

Why do a few elite wish to disarm all Americans? Is it so they can then do what they wish with us, just as occurred in Germany? We need an armed nation to keep us as a democratic nation. Just as Thomas Jefferson stated.
