Obama: Gun Lobby "Ginning

Will Take Away All Your Guns

OBAMA: As far as people lining up and purchasing more guns, I think that we´ve seen for some time now that those who oppose any common sense gun control or gun safety measures have a pretty effective way of ginning up fear on the part of gun owners, that somehow the federal government´s about to take all your guns away. And there´s probably an economic element to that. It is obviously is good for business. But I think that those of us who look at this problem have repeatedly said that responsible gun owners, people

Comments:
As a state senator in Illinois Obama opposed legislation providing an exception to handgun restrictions if the weapon was used in the defense of one’s home. He is a dangerous lying tyrant.

Liar! It is the leadership of the "rat" party "ginning up the fear."

Could obamao point out which gun control laws right now on the books, are not ´common sense´.?
BTW...It´s not the ´Gun Lobby that´s ginning up fear´. It´s the marxists in D.C who are threatening our Second Amendment rights.

Good OP, thanks for citing that gun grab vote on zippy´s record. That was one instance when zippy didn´t vote "present" in the Illinois Assembly.

Also, he filled out a survey in the 90´s where he went on the record in favor of a ban on the manufacture, sale, and distribution of handguns. This incident came up during the 08 campaign. The obama denied it, and said an associate had filled out the form, which is another big lie because zippy´s handwriting is found on the survey.

Color me unimpressed. FTA ~ ´But I think that, you know, those of us who look at this problem have repeatedly said that responsible gun owners, people who have a gun for protection, for hunting, for sportsmanship -- they don’t have anything to worry about. The issue here is not whether or not we believe in the Second Amendment.

This from the same guy who told us we could keep our health care if we liked it.
DO NOT believe anything this character says; keep watching what he DOES.

Basically that renders inoperable any firearm that hasn´t be designed for 7-round magazines?

No grandfather clause?

Instant felons made out of law abiding citizens at the stroke of a pen?

This is what BHO would subject this nation to.

He´s a liar and usurper.

Is there a season ?

Are tags required ?

Are they expensive ?

Did anyone here bother to read the direct quote? The fear-mongering here proves his point.

"The issue is, are there some sensible steps that we can take to make sure that somebody like the individual in Newtown can’t walk into a school and gun down a bunch of children in a -- in a shockingly rapid fashion? And surely we can do something about that."

You won´t find many Americans who disagree with that statement.

I do. I disagree.

I don´t think the steps being proposed are sensible at all, and they certainly would not have stopped the killing at Newtown.

"PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, I think, for example, how we are gathering data, for example, on guns that fall into the hands of criminals and how we track that more effectively -- there may be some steps that we can take administratively, as opposed -- through legislation."
Which translated means, I will use Executive Orders if I want to"
How did that gun tracking work out in Fast and Furious?
Obama is a very dangerous man.

Oh, just one more thing. A closer examination of one of obama´s quotes reveals some possible weasel words, " . . . that somehow the federal government´s about to take all your guns away . . . "

A lot more children have died from gunshot wounds on the South side of Chicago this year than in the Newton shooting. There a lot more "common sense" gun laws there than anywhere else in the country. How many of the shooters underwent background checks and used their legally purchased firearms to commit their crimes? How many made sure they used guns that would not accept a magazine that would hold more than ten (or seven) rounds? Someone should have asked the won during his press conference. He should know the answers, it´s the community he organized.

I personally was involved in every step of the planning and implementation of the Osama Bin Laden take-down.

From my understanding, deputy Morgan Earp died, shot in the back by a thug in a town where only law enforcement was allowed to carry any firearm. Funny, that thug didn´t care about the law either way back then. As Mark Levin has said so well "It´s the Bill of Rights, not the Bill of Needs." And, my rights don´t end at your opinion of how many rounds you think I might need for protection.

I´ve heard it said, you don´t know how many rounds you´ll need until it´s over and time taken reloading can get you killed.

I´m not afraid. I´m ticked off with this government gun grab.

First of all, tunnelrats will ALWAYS trump rabbits.

Second, if Obama tries to legislate by fiat that our Second Amendment has been rendered IN ANY WAY null and void, it will be grounds for impeachment, and the articles should be filed immediately.

Without the Second Amendment, how does any of the rest of the Constitution survive?

Without it, how does THIS COUNTRY SURVIVE?

in 2006 Obama said: "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

The 2nd Amendment does not include the words or the concepts "common sense" or "responsible." It simply says: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move!

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Bloodletting, in the form of firings, dismissals, resignation, and expulsions, is a tribal rite in political Washington. It is most often used by the powerful on anyone less powerful as a symbolic sacrifice. Steven Miller, the now former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, is the latest victim of ritual sacrifice. This week the Obama White House demanded his resignation to demonstrate the president’s “anger” at news that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for added review and slow approval. Next, we’ll watch as Congress takes up the bloodletting knife.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

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.

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,

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 lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
