Obama Already Pushing to Ban "Assault" Weapons


When he said on the campaign trail that he'd protect the second amendment you BELIEVED him?? Seriously, any hunters or gun owners that voted for Obama need a professional check-up from the neck-up. Obama's already working against the second amendment and the people he's appointed are leading the way.

I'm amazed when states with a hunting population, like Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, and Colorado vote into office someone with such an anti-gun history. I guess we'll all get what we asked for. I wonder what makes any gun owner susceptible to the smooth pitch of snake-oil salesmen like Obama in the first place... maybe the mainstream media influence? Some gun owners are already concerned.

One type of proposed federal law that incessantly comes up for discussion is a new federal ban on so-called "assault weapons." The last such ban, of course, expired in 2004, after which, suddenly . . . such firearms continued to be used in only a tiny percentage of violent crimes. That little detail hasn't deterred the gun prohibitionists, though, who constantly comb the news waiting for the next killing in which such firearms are used, in order to have something to point to in order to make their case.

This time, it's Miami that has provided fodder for the citizen disarmament advocates, with a shooting involving an "AK-47" (I suspect that it was a semi-automatic copy of an AK-47, rather than a real, fully automatic one--real AK-47s have been, and continue to be, regulated under laws much more restrictive than the AWB).


He goes on...

In their drive to ban so-called "assault weapons," the mayors have powerful allies in the federal government, including a president and vice president who have made no secret of their wish to do so.

Vice President Biden, by the way, was one of the original sponsors of the now expired ban. Eric Holder, whom President Obama has chosen, pending Senate confirmation, as the Attorney General, has stated that he believes the Supreme Court's Heller decision poses no obstacle to such a ban.


Hmmmm... the article concludes:

President Obama seems already to have abandoned even the pretense of honoring his campaign promises to "respect the Second Amendment," and we can expect the agenda of smotheringly restrictive gun laws to get underway in earnest any time now.


Can't argue with that. Are you stocked up on ammo?
