Obama on guns
He says he’s not going to take your guns away. Just ban you being able to obtain anymore that he thinks aren’t appropriate.
Meanwhile, there are fewer gun crimes prosecuted under Obama than Bush. Well, that could make some sort of sense, after all. We have had some court cases striking down certain gun laws.

They talk about “dog whistles” and “trigger words”. Every time someone uses hunting and the 2Th A in the same sentence. I feel the urge to hold My nose.

Then why does he bring up Australia and England for what he would like to do?? But anyway, as he said, “you don’t need those to shoot deer”, so be obviously wants to take your semi-auto rifles, but he will let you keep your bolt action–for now.

SPM, here’s why Obama links the 2nd Amendment with hunting:
“The historical reality of the Second Amendment’s protection of the right to keep and bear arms is not that it protects the right to shoot deer. It protects the right to shoot tyrants, and it protects the right to shoot at them effectively, with the same instruments they would use upon us.” –Judge Andrew Napolitano

I don’t believe a single word that lying son of a bitch says.

“Something obviously needs to be done about the guns already out there. We need to look at harsher sentences. There’s no justification for carrying an unregistered gun and we need to be harder on people that decide to, or there’ll be a lot more shootings,”
More gun violence, so increase the penalties.

Look, he’s not going to take away everyone’s guns. Just your guns… And your friends guns. His friends will get to keep them.
And if he really doesn’t want to take away everyone’s (or anyone’s) guns, why would he care when people buy more guns after a mass shooting?
October 29th, 2015 at 7:20 am
TS, and why would he stay surrounded by them? And why do the gun laws we have and he proposes always EXEMPT him and other government officials and agents?? If gun control is good for us, then certainly it’s good for OUR EMPLOYEES. Remember, Barry, that’s what you are!

John, a quote from the link, “In June, Victorian Police Minister Wade Noonan announced a plan to tighten gun-trafficking legislation after figures revealed less than a dozen people had been charged with the crime in recent years despite a proliferation of guns in the black market.”
Well, well, well, after a reactionary, draconian gun confiscation law, especially of semi-autos, a BLACK MARKET has developed and people are carrying UNREGISTERED guns. That’s what Obama, Clinton and others would like for the citizens here, as usual, more problem-reaction-solution!

re: John A’s link,
So, they make something illegal, and that results in an increasingly violent criminal black market for that item? Gee… who could possibly have foreseen that happening?
Bans do not tend to work well in (nominally) free societies. They just create an underground market that serve to enrich the criminal class.

Right Stuart, such only empowers criminals and the ruling class, the legalized version of the former.

An Open letter to gun grabber Obama, Hillary and the Supreme court
To begin on a positive note, let’s begin with thanking you for making the colossal mistake of admitting the obvious to us all:
That you do indeed want to CONFISCATE our guns.
In most cases, gun grabbers wait until they passed the step of promising not to do so and conning people into registration (always a necessity in taking the people’s means of self defense) before talking CONFISCATION, but you and your fellow travelers “jumped the Gun” [Pardon the pun] and started to believe your own hegemony and Bull cookies
This is all fine and dandy with many of us – we find your new found honesty about your Socialist ideology and a love for gun Confiscation to be quite refreshing as of late, but I digress….
Perhaps you and your comrades have underestimated the people, that we weren’t paying attention and didn’t notice this egregious blunder on your part.. sorry to break the news to you, but we did.
And with Al Gore’s creation of the internet, we can spread news of this far and wide. So the cat’s out of the bag and you ought to acknowledge the truth for all time.
None the less, I do have some more pressing matters to discuss with you on guns and your obsession with stealing them from us.
Let me make a few things perfectly clear to you .
1. You can forget for your statist fantasies about controlling our Private property through Intergalactic Background Checks.
(Intergalactic is decidedly more ‘comprehensive’ than universal, don’t you agree? I though you would)
You people barely have the authority to control this over state lines with the atrocious Wickard V. Filburn decision, but you surely DON’T have the authority to control my private property and my selling something to a neighbor down the block.
But go ahead and get another ruling that one again rips apart the founding documents and the rule of law. As a nation we’re getting mighty close to not given a flying fornication what 9 citizens on the supreme court have to say on this or any subject. So keep pushing the boundary boys and girls, one of these days we’re going to ignore your rulings like you ignore the rule of law.
2. We aren’t Registering Diddly Squat with you people.
Never mind that history has shown the sequence to be registration, Confiscation, annihilation..
Never mind that you have already admitted that is just an incremental but necessary step to confiscation.
And never mind that you think you’ve fooled people into believing your Bull cookies about “Gun Safety”
No, the Good lord has granted us the natural right of self defense and you aren’t taking that away under ANY circumstances…
If you doubt our resolve on this point, may I to refer you to the socialist red state of New York and other environs who have steadfastly refused your Stalinist dictates.
No, we don’t need your Permission to defend ourselves – We already have that, thank you very much.
Did you miss the memo from well nigh over 200 years ago from the people about the consent of the governed? [And I’m talking the citizens of the US, not the golden horde of imposters you’ve been willfully bringing in over the border to tip the balance and destroy the nation]
So you can stuff your tyrannical dreams of registration where the sun don’t shine, It’s not happening.
3. And we for dang sure aren’t going to let you confiscate our means of defense from a tyrannical government. But that should be obvious to you by now.
So go ahead and knock yourself out passing all manner of new laws and regulations, or new supreme court decesions that trample on the very documents you swore to protect.
You people have very capably demonstrated the art of ignoring the rule of law, and if you can do it – SO CAN WE THE PEOPLE!

@ Thimen, excellent!
“The government is the potent omnipresent teacher. For good or ill it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that the end justifies the means — to declare that the government may commit crimes — would bring terrible retribution.”
–Supreme Court Justice, Louis Brandeis, 1928
