That didn't take long:Pres Obama willrestrict guns

Little-AcornLittle-Acorn Member Posts: 103 ✭✭
The so-called "Assault Weapons Ban" resulted in no reduction in gun crimes, probably since very few crimes were ever committed with so-called "Assault Weapons" in the first place. And when it expired, the "gunfights in the streets" predicted by many anti-gun-rights hysterics, failed to materialize.

Nonetheless, with Barack Obama in the White House for less than seven hours, this has appeared on the White House website.


http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/urban_policy/

quote:Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.


I guess it was inevitable. We voted for him, now we've got him.

I said earlier that I wished President Obama success. Restricting guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens (which is all any gun legislation an ever do) produces the opposite effect: A lessening of safety and security in cities, neighborhoods, schools etc., as criminals find their victims are less and less able to fight back.

    Yep, without changing or modifying it a bit, though he could have.

    So much for the "rule of law" he claimed was important in his inaugural speech.

    As I said, that sure didn't take long.

    This should come as a surprise to nobody. The Fudds that voted for him believe he'll leave their guns alone, but don't care if those evil military look alike guns go bye-bye. Little does Elmer know, though, that their hunting guns most likely decend from miltary arms and will be on the chopping block sooner or later and labeled as "sniper rifles" or "combat shotguns" or whatever term they use to demonize them.

    The slope is slippery indeed, and the constitution will continue to be over-looked by the elites in power (of all political stripes, not just dem's - the reps are no better at protecting that document).

    "We" didn't vote for him. 52% of the population did. That's far from a mandate.

    In the short term all B.O.B. has succeeded in doing is cause the gun companies to make a fortune....every Gun Shop in my area is completely bare of AR's and AK's...

    I am glad I bought a few in anticipation.....alot of this doesn't even effect certain parts of the Country...all you poor b*st*rds in NY and NJ, MA and Ca that can't buy anything without submitting forms 6 months in advance and blah, blah, blah....I'm glad I live in VA. Of course that is subject to change as more libs move to the Southeast and infect our local politics with their naive, socialist ideals.

    No, only approximately 52% of eligible voters did (oh, and the ineligible/fraudulent ones too). That figure is far, far less than 52% of the population.

    There should be zero surprise about his anti-Constitution beliefs and plans. After all, the evidence has been there to see all along.

    And so the planned destruction of the Republic continues, all the while, abject ignorance and outright stupidity thrive in this, the "new america"............

    Yes it does. And until the SHTF people will not care or even notice. It's human nature. There are a few of us who are on top of this, but damn few!!![V]

    To be honest this doesn't surprise me one little bit.

    It's only a matter of time before we see another repressive AWB.

    I heard he planned to get it reinstated within 90 days of getting sworn in as president.

    From: "Eric Nordstrom" ..





    PATRIOT NETWORK EMERGENCY ALERT 012709
    PLEASE DISTRIBUTE TO ALL AMERICANS - THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

    Ammunition Accountability Legislation

    Remember how Obama said that he wasn't going to take your guns?
    Well, it seems that his allies in the anti-gun world have no
    problem with taking your ammo!

    The bill that is being pushed in 18 states (including Illinois and
    Indiana ) requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture
    a data base of all ammunition sales.

    So they will know how much you
    buy and what calibers.



    http://ammunitionaccountability.
    org/Legislation.
    htm

    Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009 unless the
    ammunition is coded.



    Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1,
    2011. (Including hand loaded ammo.) They will also charge a .

    05
    cent tax on every round so every box of ammo you buy will go up at
    least $2.

    50 or more!

    If they can deprive you of ammo they do not need to take your gun!

    All eyes are diverted on talk radio topics, bailouts, television
    entertainments/news/propaganda, while state level legislatures are
    placing the second amendment into a grave.



    This legislation is currently IN COMMITTEE in 18 states: Alabama,
    Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana,
    Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York,
    Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and
    Washington.



    Send to every person in these united states!

    To find more about the anti-gun group that is sponsoring this
    legislation and the specific legislation for each state, go to:

    org/Legislation.

    "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep
    and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against
    tyranny in Government.

    Hey, I'm new here and I'm learning alot by reading these threads. But since I'm new first let me say-I DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM- and I'm not nearly up to speed on all the information you all seem to be knowledgable about, but anyone that voted for Obama is a sheep and they'll get what they want- a government that tells them what, how, and when to do something.>CHRIS

    Im with you on that Nick, but it makes me sick at the same time. All I know is suddenly all these sheep that were in my face about he's gonna win, he's gotta win, he's gonna save us, are already singing a different tune the second he's sworn in. I'm hearing things like -"oh of course he can't fix everything, no one can, Bush F'd it up so bad" and that's bababooey. During the damn election they were all acting like the heavens had split open and Jesus himself was Evil Kineviling into Ft Worth on a sportster. Hey, he had all the answers, he had all the solutions! Just more worthless lies and they all heard what they wanted to hear>Suckers>yeah Nick, I too wear that twisted smile.

    I think what HBall means is that too many stupid people toe the party line and stay faithful no matter how much the party screws them. Neither the D or R party is on the side of the people. They have sold out to special interest groups, and greed. Despite this enough people keep voting for them to keep these two a$$clown parties in power.

    What I DIDN'T do, paper, is stroke myself off pretending that I had a human being in mccain ...somebody that was an American.
    Americans don't push for gun control, Limiting free speech, advocating endless swarms of barbarians infesting this country..

    I was unable to demean myself to that level.

    Of course, there are 120 million out there that have no trouble at all crawling in the slime trails left by obmacain in their run for the presidency.
    Be proud...you undoubtedly were a member of the herd.

    Yet one more proof as to why the Founders despised Democracy. People like you eventually overwhelm the decency, common sense, and intelligence of the few.
