Obama and guns
He’s not been that much of a threat to gun rights as president, despite his anti-gun record before that. Some are speculating the anti-gun stuff will gin up during a second term.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

It won’t happen… Obama is not afraid of voters… He is afraid of the people with the guns that know how to use them… Shit, it is about self preservation nothing more…

Obama doesn’t have to do anything himself. When his political appointees can do things like fail to stop Fast and Furious, then attempt to use it to gin up clearly illegal gun regulations, he doesn’t have to do anything except sit back and watch.
Now that is community organizing! Sort of like when Al Sharpton used to get riots going without getting himself arrested for the arsons and murders committed.

Unc, while You and I were enjoying ourselves at Lidia’s during the NRA Convention, I asked Alan Gottlieb of the SAF why Obama didn’t go for Gun Control when Nancy had the House and Harry had the Senate. Barry had all the Votes at the time to really hurt the 2A. Alan told me that Nancy and Harry had so screwed up pushing ObamaCare through Congress that any attempt to put in Gun Control Legislation was shoved to the back burner. Then the Republitards won the House.
However, Gun Control is part of the “Fundamental Transformation” of the Republic. He published his plans regarding the RKBA in his Campaign Site, “Agenda.gov.” It makes the Clinton-era Gun Legislation look like Parking Tickets.
If he gets Re-Anointed (and looking at the crop of Republitard Presidential Wannabes out there, he just might), if he can get Congress back, he’ll go for it. If he doesn’t get Congress back, he just issue “Decrees,” knowing that nothing will happen to him as long as “Golf Buddy Boehner” runs the House.
But he’s going for it. We’re just at the “turning on the Stove waiting for the water to Boil” Stage. Look at all the Anti Gun crap that is popping up on the local and State Level, not to mention all the ATF Crap that is coming out. Think of it as being in “Spring Training.”

The difference between Obama’s elected supporters in the legislature and those in the past?
In the past, we could count on punishing them at the ballot box and thereby force them into line. Obama’s hard-core supporters made it clear during the health care push that they don’t care about being re-elected. They essentially sacrificed each other, and themselves.
I don’t doubt one bit they’ll do it again. I don’t see them doing both 2A and amnesty for illegals in the same presidential term, though, but one or the other will be pushed hard. And we’ll all wind up with the “I blacked out and what happened last night” feeling we did after health care passed.

Right– Eric Holder never existed, and Fast & Furious never happened.

The main reason Obama and Pelosi didn’t try to push gun control was they simply didn’t have the votes given the number of blue dog Dems that existed at the time in the House. Keep in mind more than 65 Dems House members signed a letter to Holder saying they would not support an assault weapons ban. Even more would have opposed other legislation. They knew they couldn’t prevail and it would cost them even more seats in the 2010 elections.
