The Coming Obama End Run for Gun Control
Townhall.com ^ | December 20, 2014 | D.W. Wilbur

Posted on 12/20/2014 11:38:30 AM PST by Kaslin

With just over two years left in the administration of President Barack Obama, and with his promise, some might view it as a threat, to use the powers of his office to make changes he believes are best to move the country towards the vision he and his supporters have for the future of America (that fundamental transformation he told us about), protecting Americans’ right to bear arms will be even more important as the Obama Presidency winds down.

The president has made no secret of his interest in enacting more stringent gun control across the board in America. While he smiles and tries to cloak his goals in the guise of a “reasonable approach to gun control”, he quietly and behind the scenes schemes with his Attorney General Eric Holder to use whatever tactics they can to achieve as much as they can, with little regard for what the majority of the American people want.

The United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, regulating the international trade in conventional arms, from small arms to battle tanks, combat aircraft and warships, will enter into force on December 24th of this year. The Obama Administration has fully supported this treaty. While it violates the Second Amendment of U.S. Constitution and likely won’t be ratified by the Senate and enacted into law in this country, it serves as a symbolic victory for the anti-gun politicians in Washington, D.C.

California Democrat Senator Diane Feinstein continues her efforts to outlaw private ownership of guns, whole-heartedly supported by the Obama Administration. Diverted only temporarily by her attack on the CIA and her release of information about the CIA’s enhanced Interrogation program, Feinstein is sure to come back to her gun control efforts, which will be the crowning jewel in her Senate career should she retire after this term in office.

Considering the challenges faced by America, with Islamic terrorists from ISIS threatening to bring their campaign of Jihad butchery to American shores, the most recent cyber-attack orchestrated by North Korea which revealed our nation’s vulnerability to attacks against our critical infrastructure, an increasingly bellicose Vladimir Putin and communist Chinese threats of expansion, not to mention the regular threats made by the Iranian mullahs, now certainly isn’t the time to disarm the American citizenry.

Yet the Obama Administration and their allies among the Democrats in the House and the Senate continue to argue for strict gun control, and take whatever steps they can to continue moving in that direction. With the UN treaty in effect will some sort of Obama ‘executive action’ be in the future ?

Advocating for enforcing the existing regulations and arguing against the need for additional laws, gun advocacy groups wage an uphill battle against a biased news media, that seems to relish using any acts of gun violence that happen around the country as a bludgeon to beat the NRA and other groups over the head, and to beat the drum once again for stricter gun laws. Stricter laws by the way that will have little if any effect on the random acts of gun violence perpetrated by people who care nothing about the laws currently on the books.

But that doesn’t stop the Obama bandwagon from rolling along with their gun control agenda, ignoring the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment. More importantly ignoring the threats we face as a nation. Which is why we will need a well regulated citizen militia to help protect this nation in dangerous times, and from a weak and dangerous president determined to leave strict gun control as one of the foundations of his legacy.

“Which is why we will need a well regulated citizen militia to help protect this nation in dangerous times,”

Don’t worry we do. In GA anyway. This POS is not going to enact any kind of gun control through that arms treaty that the Senate will never ratify. What he may do is kick off CWII and who can say if that’s a bad thing.

Too many Americans armed to the teeth. Millions with an unknown quantity of ammunition makes the American citizenry about the largest army in the world.

Will he also require the criminals to turn in their guns?

And what about the muzzie terrorist in the country inside their safe houses? Will they also be required to turn in their guns?

People aren’t appreciating the depth of this. It’s a move to destroy the supply chain. Few guns are completely built in the USA (not a trivial number, but not as robust a supply as needed); plan on a practical end of non-domestic guns & supplies - and that means so far as “gunmetal”, specialized chemicals, anything they can regulate into oblivion to cripple domestic firearms sales.

They won’t come for your guns ... but they do intend to ensure you can’t buy, fix, or feed any more.

Better: determined to leave the foundations of this country in ruins as his legacy.

The destroying the Second Amendment is just a piece of his pie ...

That is the creepiest photo of obozo I have seen yet.

That was my immediate impression as well.

But then again, every photo I see of him is creepy and they are getting worse as time goes on. It's getting harder and harder for Satan to disguise himself as an angel of light...

What should be the "killing" clause for the treaty...

Article 12


Record keeping
3. Each State Party is encouraged to include in those records: the quantity, value, model/type, authorized international transfers of conventional arms covered under Article 2 (1), conventional arms actually transferr ed, details of exporting State(s), importing State(s), transit and trans-shipment State(s), and end users, as appropriate.
4. Records shall be kept for a minimum of ten years.

Nothing about destroying those records after that time. Get it?

“Make no mistake, we would never think about supporting a treaty that is inconsistent with the rights of Americans citizens to be able to exercise their guaranteed rights under our constitution.” Secretary John Kerry

Think about it? Hell, you're trying to do it, your words notwithstanding! Or do you also think we're too stupid to understand that, John "Gruber" Kerry?

I must say that Gun Control is the one thing, the One Thing that Ubama hasn't gotten what he has wanted.

In fact I think the Progressives have Lost ground on that issue, people aren't buying and Do Not like this Gun Control crap.

Now, the Progs never stop, that is why I think he will make a big play these final two years, because even with all these Tragedies involving guns, the libs haven't made any headway exploiting them.

Not yet.

That is damn lie created by the Clinton regime!

Look at the CDC death stats: there is not even a category for that. This lie has proven extremely useful to trial lawyers coaxing their brain-dead juries to "send a message" with an obscene judgement.

Which will rapidly turn into a new form of tariff, with new American businesses being started to take over any spots in the supply chain vacated by "off-shore" companies.

Alternatively, those "off-shore" companies will start American subsidiaries, and move part of manufacturing here.

And if THAT fails, then gun owners will take to the "black market" which has existed in the past, exists now, and WILL exist into the future.

Our arguments comparing traffic deaths, or pointing out that inner city “youths” are the evidently unspeakable, major generators of the firearm related murder statistics, are only points to help convert the useful idiots of the left, not grounds to convince power hungry communists that they don’t need gun control.

Gun control is not about saving lives.

Gun control is about disarming the public and gaining the monopoly on force.

Our argument to the likes of Feinstein and Obama should be; “We know that you are trying to disarm the public and we aren’t having any of it.”
