| In 2008, Joe Biden tried to temper fears that Barack Obama was in favor of gun control, by saying, "I guarantee you Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns, so don’t buy that malarkey. Don’t buy that malarkey. They’re going to start peddling that to you." Biden said he owns "two guns" and that "if [Obama] tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem. I like that little over and under, you know? I’m not bad with it. So give me a break. Give me a break," according to an ABC report from the time.

Comments: I grit my teeth when a public figure talks down to his audience by using "ain´t" and "gonna" when that person normally speaks correctly.

Exactly, #1!
I think we need to know how many of these gun control advocates "representing" the people are, in fact, CHP holders.....like Dianne Feinstein and the fearless Harry Reid.

Hey, cut crazy Uncle Joe a break.
He just got confused (like he does on a very regular basis). He was saying ´´shotguns´´, but he meant ´´BB guns´´.
Honest mistake when you are that senile...

But, hey, he didn´t lie anyway.
NØbama won´t take our guns.
He will send about 50 of his Brown Shirts, fully armed with the best military grade body armor and weapons that our tax dollars will buy, to hold fully automatics weapons on our wives and kids while giving us 1 minute to turn over every weapon and piece of ammunition we own.
You know our military won´t do it. But his Brown Shirt volunteer militia (made up of former New Black Panther and La Raza members) will be more than happy to visit all those ´´whitey houses´´ to collect our weapons.
And if they have to kill a bunch of our wives and kids to get our weapons, no problem. They will just be enforcing all the new knee-jerk laws that Congress is about to pass.
This country died on 11-6-2012. Why expect anything else???

#7, poor scenario. The people will simply fight back. Are they forcing their way into people´s home to retrieve their weapons. They would have to suspend the constitution and marshall law the place. The jig is up if the first thing they want is guns. Or maybe they will start by offering free phones to those who didn´t get one. With collection of there will be blood. Lots of it. Lots of dead brownshirts. They have no honor so they will not want to die. We learned our lesson from castro and hitler and how they stole their respective nations. It´s the last frontier and madness to risk it.

Ironically VP Biden did not lie when he said that "Obama Ain´t taking my Shotguns" because the liberal Democrats have bigger fish to fry. Essentially what Senator Feinstein and other liberal Democrats intend to do is ban all "assault weapons" that they define as any semi-automatic firearm, rifle or handgun, that could possibly accept a clip or magazine containing more then 10 rounds of ammunition, that in reality would encompass just about every modern firearm in America.
If that were to actually happen, besides taking away the right of hundreds of millions of law abiding Americans to purchase a modern firearm, much of the American small arms industry would be wiped out, as they could not survive on just government contracts that Obama also wants to slash, thus eliminating thousands of well paying US jobs.
You have to figure that once that happened, that the political blow back against politicians, both Democrat and Republican who voted for such a ban would be fierce in next years primary and congressional elections, as happened the last time the liberal Democrats pushed through a ban on certain semi-automatic firearms.

Yo...yo...If American gun manufacturers think they could make a buck on selling the American gun owners down the river....LOOK OUT DUDES!!!! In 1968 Tom Dodd, US Senator from Connecticut, with the backing of the New England gun manufacturers, supported the 1968 Gun Control Act because one section forbade the importation of military surplus firearms, thereby reducing completion for the local scum gun makers. Further, Bill Ruger, in my opinion, was one of the biggest supporters of the 1968 GCA, and beat the tub for GUN CONTROL!!! I have never owned a Ruger since. So , if Smith and Wesson or Ruger, can retrench and take over the American market by making and selling just revolvers, instead of semi autos.....you can bet your life those pigs will sell the consumers down the river. They did it before...they´ll do it again!!!

Yo....yo...Further the scum local gun makers backed the "steel shot" legislation against all reason because they knew that the shot gunners would have to buy new expensive shot guns to shoot the new steel shot. Never underestimate the greedy filthy pigs because they will sell our gun rights out for a few bucks!!!!

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

‘What would you be focusing on in the Benghazi investigation?” I spent many years in the investigation biz, so it’s only natural that I’ve been asked that question a lot lately. I had the good fortune to be trained in Rudy Giuliani’s U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan. Rudy famously made his mark by making law enforcement reflect what common sense knew: Enterprises take their cues from the top. Criminal enterprises are no different: The capos do not carry out the policy of the button-men — it’s the other way around. So if I were investigating Benghazi,

East Germany’s Ministry for State Security, also known as the Stasi, posed a major challenge during my three-year stint as an attache at the U.S. Embassy in Bonn during the 1960s. Detecting and preventing Stasi agents from penetrating the security of U.S. diplomatic facilities in West Germany was a 24-7 undertaking. The East German secret police were even more ruthless and relentless in operations against their own citizens. Political suppression in that communist state was total. There was no room for dissent. Thousands of East Germans were arbitrarily imprisoned for “internal security” reasons.

In eight months since an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi left four Americans dead, a Republican-led investigation has focused on potential missteps by the White House — and come away with nothing significant. There has been little attention given, however, to covert actions by the Central Intelligence Agency that were partially uncovered during the September 11, 2012 attack. That may be changing. CNN´s Jake Tapper argued this week that we should give more scrutiny to the CIA´s presence in the Libyan port city. Congressman Frank Wolf (R-Va.) said the same, according to CNN:

Mark Sanford is now a member of Congress two years after he stepped down as governor of South Carolina following a highly publicized extramarital affair. Anthony Weiner appears poised to run for New York City mayor not even two years after scandalous photos of the ex-representative hit Twitter. Perhaps, then, it should be no surprise to learn that disgraced former presidential candidate and North Carolina senator John Edwards is plotting his own comeback. The wealthy lawyer has reactivated his law license and also is hitting the speaking circuit, The Associated Press reported. Mr. Edwards is scheduled

O.J. Simpson testified this week that he’d been drinking all day on Sept. 13, 2007, before he bizarrely robbed two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel. But sources close to the case wonder if it was watching “The Oprah Winfrey Show” that afternoon that made Simpson snap. Before Simpson headed to the Palace Station Hotel to rob the dealers, the family of Ronald Goldman, who was murdered along with Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, were on “Oprah” to discuss the controversial book “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.” It was a repackaged version of a “fictitious”

As Margalit Fox says at the outset of The Riddle of the Labyrinth, the story of Linear B is well known. This 3,000-year-old language was discovered on clay tablets excavated in 1900 on the island of Crete. It thereafter puzzled scholars for half a century before it was decoded by Michael Ventris, an English architect with no formal training in archeology or linguistics. Linear B’s history is an absorbing tale, full of mysteries both intellectual and historical, and it’s been told and retold since Ventris made his breakthrough. The problem, as Fox sees it,

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The White House on Wednesday released 94 pages of emails between top administration and intelligence officials who helped shape the talking points about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that the CIA would provide to policymakers in both the legislative and executive branches. The documents, first reported by THE WEEKLY STANDARD in articles here and here, directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department.

On Thursday´s NBC Today, in a desperate attempt to deflect from the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered: "I read a headline yesterday that said Republicans see blood in the water. That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is. I mean, that´s what happened to Republicans in 1998 with Bill Clinton.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever).

“I look forward to taking some questions at tomorrow’s press conference,” President Obama said last night, after announcing the resignation of the acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller. The president scheduled a noon press conference today with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in honor of his visit. Reporters, however, found themselves waiting outside in the rain for Obama, who was 47 minutes late. Only New York Times reporter Mark Landler had an umbrella.
