Comrade Obama Coming After Guns

Written By : Dave Blount

Gun sales have been through the roof ever since America temporarily went off the rails and was duped into electing the Manchurian Moonbat, because our Second Amendment rights being the last line of defense against overreaching government, you had to know that the personification of statism would try to infringe on them. His teleprompter wisely refrained from milking the Tucson shootings at the State of the Union address…

But in the next two weeks, the White House will unveil a new gun-control effort in which it will urge Congress to strengthen current laws, which now allow some mentally unstable people, such as alleged Arizona shooter Jared Loughner, to obtain certain assault weapons, in some cases without even a background check.

Tuesday night after the speech, Obama adviser David Plouffe said to NBC News that the president would not let the moment after the Arizona shootings pass without pushing for some change in the law, to prevent another similar incident.

The only sure way to prevent a maniac from going berserk with a gun would be to make sure no one has any access to them. After that, Big Government will put an end to traffic fatalities by making sure no one has access to a car. We can deal with home invaders with conflict resolution techniques, and get around by government-approved high-speed rail.

On tips from Jimbo, Conan, and G. Fox. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

I don’t think anything is going to come of this. I know he’d like to but I just don’t see it happening.

I tend to agree.
I expect Obama will propose something, but that nothing will come of it in the end. With a hostile house, he’s unlikely to get anything radical like a new AWB passed. The Rebublicans are far from perfect on gun/self defence rights, but they are worlds better than the dems on the issue. Oppressive gun control laws are very unpopular with the Republican base and this close to the election that won them the house, the Republican congress is unlikely to anger their base by not blocking a new AWB.

One good thing about the well founded concern about new bans: it makes for a seller’s market when it comes to guns that might be targeted. They called Obama “gun salesman of the year” for a reason. Right after he got elected the prices for military style guns was way up, so I sold a Chicom AK-47 clone I bought years ago for 350$. It brought over 700$ on Gunbroker.com. Not a bad profit. I’ve got another one I’ll probably sell if the prices go that high again.

No one is going after any guns, as usual VH lies about what is going on, pathetic.

StanW

YET!

Did you not read the “In the next two weeks…” part, crthns!

As has been pointed out to you Stanley, Obama is the most pro-gun democrat to hold office, he has loosened gun laws, not made the stronger. However keep up with your tirade (based on nothing but your imagination), it shows just how much of an idiot you are. Please continue, its entertaining as hell.

I keep hearing this. He is not pro second amendment by any stretch. The only “pro gun” thing he has done is not bitch and complain about people being allowed to carry in state parks. That is hardly an accomplishment. I will again ask……what does Obama think about AR15′s and 30 rnd mags? That will tell you if he knows anything about anything, or if he is just a grabber.

If he is so against the second amendment please point out the bills that he has signed against the second amendment…what is that you cant find any…hmmm.
http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

That has to be the dumbest argument I’ve ever seen, even from you.
Anonymous

Considering he cant make law, only congress can, you have nothing there. The only proof I need that he is against guns is the fact that he said we need another AWB and that he feels the need to address the country in two weeks on the subject.

Guest

That isn’t true, he is going after VH’s guns. You read the article didn’t you? It stated that the laws “…now allow some mentally unstable people,” to purchase guns. Surely you can understand why VH would be concerned.

So your telling me that obama is not going to call for the AWB of 94-04′ to be reinstalled? That is coming for guns, and even worse, that is coming for guns that have never been used in a high profile shooting. Im taking obama and holder at their word since they have maintained since 08′ it was a goal. What on earth do you think he is going to say?
Anonymous

The White House has specifically said it will be going after the guns of so-called “mentally unstable people”.

Except the law already prohibits mentally unstable people from buying guns, so clearly Obama is planning to go after the guns of mentally stable people.

I guess I missed it…why/when did crthns change his name? Did he banned or something?

Anonymous

Crthns had a bad public melt down a few years back and spouted off that he was leaving the site forever. That very night he made a new account “Idpanicman” and started posting again. It was apparent pretty soon that the two were the same. After a while he stopped posting as “idpanicman” and started his current “whats_up” account.

As far as we know, crthns was never banned. He will occasionally pop up on that account and try to deny that his current sock puppet is “crthns”.

The general assumtion is that crthns will get to the point that his current sock puppet has dug such a deep hole and shot his credibility (such that he has any) so full of holes that he will try to make a new acocunt and try to start over. Sadly for him, he’s not very good at hiding his posting style.

You know honestly, I would have alot more respect for the guy if he just ditched the sock puppet acount and started posting as crthns again. If he did that and finally just said “ok, I did make that statement about David Duke and Bush. I spoke without looking into the matter and did not realise that Duke was/is no fan of Bush. I should have actually done some quick research rather than just stereotyped.” he would disarm alot of his critics.
But he’s not going to do that. As a troll he’s interested in offending rather than discussion. And folks like him have no self respect….or indeed respect for anyone else.

“..current laws, which now allow some mentally unstable people, such as alleged Arizona shooter Jared Loughner, to obtain certain assault weapons, in some cases without even a background check.”

That statement is all kinds of deliberately misleading. First off, there was never an “assault weapon” associated with the Tuscon massacre; to insinuate that there was is completely disingenuous. Secondly, there is no law, that I know of, that allows the mentally infirmed to legally purchase/own a firearm.

RochesterNY

That may just be semantics, GOB. I think weapons by definition are assault tools. One that can fire 31 rounds as quickly as Laughner did. Are you serious? No, there is no law that allows mentally infirmed to legally purchase a weapon. What is needed is a law that prohibits the sale of guns with a 31 round clip to mentally infirmed.

Any gun with detachable mags can be shot quickly. Laughner did nothing out of the ordinary and not more capable. b/c of a weapon, to inflict any more harm than somebody else with a different handgun. And finding out how to classify a person as unstable so that they might be prohibited from a firearm purchase is difficult. We are all unstable to some people. The point is he would have found a gun, legal or not, and he was going to kill………unless the sheriff did his job and get him someplace for all the snooping aournd and threatening he did.

Martha

We are all unstable to some people.

And you are living proof TRock.

That all you got? 50 yrs ago Jared would have been committed to an asylum, now people like him roam the streets for fear of violating their rights or something. So we can dispense with the PC garbage and put poeople him in some sort of custody, or we can let them roam the streets and accept the fact that they will snap and kill people from time to time.

DCJinCT

On the other hand, what if more people there had firearms, and didnt allow this left wing bastard get off 31 rounds? By the way, It is a MSGAZINE, not clip. Go hide under your bed and hope the police have time to come save you.

I know you guys are desparate to justify your hysteria over Obama being pro-gun control, but it just ain’t happening.

Just like all of your other hysterical memes, it’s exaggerated, cannot be supported with facts, and falls on it’s face whenever someone who isn’t a political hack takes a look.

StanW

Right, because gun control laws have NEVER led to gun bans and gun confiscation.Vega the Troll rides again!

D-Vega

This has been the most pro-gun Democrat President in my generation, Stan.

Get over yourself.

StanW

Pro-Gun Democrat is like the most pro-black KKK member, Vega.

Obama has told us since he was a senator how he felt about guns.

D-Vega

Why does everything deserve a KKK analogy from you, Stan?

It’s not like that at all and it’s stupid of you to make such a comparison.

Obama is pro-gun control. But he has yet to promote or encourage any NEW gun control laws.

In fact, he has LOOSENED federal gun control laws.

So spout off all you want, but those pesky facts will set you straight.
StanW

I say it because it is an apt comparision. Democrats hate guns, and want more gun control. Obama can say what he wants, but his actions and votes as a Senator speak much louder.

And I used the KKK example so I would be comparing Democrats to Democrats. Just for you Vega!

“Obama is pro-gun control. But he has yet to promote or encourage any NEW gun control laws. ”

Yeah. He’ll do it in a couple of weeks, as the article said.
Anonymous

Your talking about the CCW in the federal parks right? Great. Im sure if he could stipulate a 22lr pistol, he would. Now ask him about AR15′s and hi capacity magzines.
D-Vega

Yeah. He’ll do it in a couple of weeks, as the article said.

Yes, possibly. We’ll see. But even if he proposes the AWB, you’ll then say he’s coming to get your guns? Gimma a break. It would still mean he has not proposed anything up to this point, and has in fact loosend fed gun laws.

The NRA was just saying how this is the golden age for gun rights. One proposal doesn’t change that, and the proposal certainly can’t be politically feasible.

But by all means, continue your hysteria. Gun shops need business in this economy.
Good Ol Boy

Play Devil’s advocate for a second, Heath Shuler seems to be pretty solidly pro-2nd Amendment… but from all I’ve seen/read/heard from him, he should actually be a Rep. instead of a Dem.

conservativeminority

You think he’s pro-gun? What about the infamous quote that many “cling to their guns and religion?”

Though he hardly ever talks about our 2nd Amendment, is safe to say he does believe in a more regulatory gun control law.
Anonymous

A pro gun president would not want to ban a gun based on its looks, nor would he ban a magazine capacity above X number for no other reason except that he “feels” its not needed.
http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

And by that you mean “he hasn’t been as actively hostile toward the 2nd amendment as previous Democrat presidents.” He’s been hostile (banning sales of guns from Korea, for example), but not as hostile.

Please Vega, your using obamas failures to do the things he said he would do, as proof WE are the crazy ones. Obama and holder both said in 08′ they would persue another AWB. Should I take them at their word?
http://www.cavalierx.com CavalierX

Amazing. Faced with an actual quote from Newsweek — supposedly a reputable news magazine — Vega just flat-out refuses to believe it. Although I suppose “faced” is not the correct term, considering where Vega has his head firmly planted. No one’s seen his face since Hussein was elected.

D-Vega

Let’s see what happens then, Cav.
Anonymous

Maybe D-Vega’s finally starting to realize that President Obama is fundamentally dishonest. It’s not that he doesn’t believe Newsweek, it’s that he doesn’t believe Obama would actually keep a promise.

http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

I don’t think he’ll do anything either, but reputable sources in the White House are talking about it, so this isn’t just nonsense someone is inventing, Vega.
Anonymous

Fact: The law already prohibits mentally unstable people from buying guns.

So either Obama is actually planning to do nothing at all (not an altogether unreasonable assumption considering his record of making promises and not keeping them) or he is planning to go stop people who are mentally sound from owning guns.

in your opinion. Excuse us for not giving a shit.

He is going to say that scary looking military style semi autos (he will call them “assault weapons”) are too dangerous and we don’t need them to shoot rabbits and such. He will say that magazine capacities above whatever number are not needed for anybody. What he wont say is that the weapons he wants to ban have never been used in a hi profile rampage and are no more dangerous or safe than any other semi auto rifle, and that restrictions on magazine capacity will just force a person to carry several smaller ones or buy one of the millions already owned or on the black market. He will make a reference to the “gun show loophole” as if it’s a real thing. What he won’t say is that the loophole is really just individuals selling face to face, which is perfectly legal. It could happen at your house, at the park, in a car, or at a gun show. Dealers (a person that makes a living selling guns) at shows or at their shop are subject to the same BATFE regulations and audits no matter where they are. How about we keep better tabs on criminals and crazy folks and enforce the laws that are already on the books. Punishing law abiding citizens gets you nowhere.
President Friedman

Obama is politically hamstrung here and he knows it. When he had the legislative power to enact some type of gun control, he shied away, because he knows it is a dealbreaker with many moderate Democrats. Now that any type of gun control legislation has zero chance of making it out of the House, he will find some issue moderate enough to call for (I doubt he calls for a return of the AWB, but he will probably call for magazine limits and for some convoluted system for applying NICS background checks at gun shows or between individuals) that allows him to tell the anti-gun lobby that he tried. Conservatives will villify him for this, as they should, but the truth is he isn’t so much a gun grabber as just another spineless politician playing the angles.

I agree. The Republicans did the same thing with flag burning back in the 90′s. They knew that since the SCOTUS ruled it a Right to burn a flag in protest any law prohibiting it would struck down immediately. They passed one anyway to appease the base.

Meanwhile, we are still heading towards a national bankruptcy…

Is anyone really suprised?

We all knew he would come around to this sooner or later.

A few facts were conveniently ignored by the media in the Tuscon shooting murders. First was that the shooter had been acting crazy and threatening people’s lives since 2007. Another was that he WAS being reported, and it seemed to go nowhere and that the shooter’s momma was also on the County Board of Supervisors. The local Sheriff’s office ignored the complaints as well as what the local Community College reported as well. He already had violated more than a few gun laws, and more laws would NOT have done a damned thing to prevent that episode from happening. Voters also look closer now, and even the Dems know that voting for Gun Control is Kryptonite.

While I whole heartedly beleave in the 2nd Amendment (even though I live in the Nazi State of New Jersey where only Criminals have guns an ordinary citizens are Gunned down) there’s no way Jared Loughner should have been able to walk out of a store with a fire arm, I wonder how that salesmen is sleeping these days?
