AP lap dogs. I´ll just skip the BS article and maybe send the NRA a wee donation.

Somehow, I trust the NRA a lot more than I do the administration. Wasn´t it the Obama Justice Department that got caught running thousands of so called assault weapons across the border to Mexican drug cartels? Isn´t it the Obama WH that has declared any information relating to fast and furious to be under presidential privilege? Our POTUS has shown he has lite regard for the constitution or rule of law.

The dem strategy for the next midterm election is to push gun control and the minimum wage increase. Let them. They think they will get more women on board but the biggest growth in gun buyers is among women. And they are losing the blue collar gunowners. This will impact senate races as well in Dakota, Montana, etc. Gun owners will turn out in huge numbers.

I do not have any trust nor believe anything that emanates from this regime. They are ideologues who will say or do anything to advance their leftist progressive agenda. As seen throughout the 20th century, the socialists clowns believe that the ends do justify the means.
For those leftists who are forever lost in their guilt and mentally diseased state, they will just smile and say that bamster´s position has evolved and he now ´rightfully" feels that registration and confiscation are necessary measures, and that his nuanced positions can not be understood by conservative and traditionalist rubes.
Do not trust or believe these leftist brownshirts.

If the WH says they don´t support it, then it is a certainty to happen.

Guns for Mexican druggies - no problem. Guns for Libians, for sure. Guns for Syrian rebels, just a moment and we´ll sneak them in. Guns for Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration - by the truckload. Guns for bitter-clinger, right wingers - not so fast.

One would expect any Justice Dept., Dem. or Rep., to have lawyers write memos outlining possible scenarios. That is what lawyers do! To suggest that the fact that a Justice Dept. considered various approaches means that the Pres. approves of all of them is ludicrous. (And the memo itself points out why certain approaches would be unworkable.)

Every time the NRA chooses to misinterpret something that the public can obviously interpret for itself, the NRA looks more out of step. There was a time that I had great respect for the organization, but not now, with the way it is run in 2013.

Defend in place, head for the forests, move into the swamps--so many choices with all this military training. Don´t think the Feds understand that we´re serious about keeping our weapons.

Just like clockwork, our Brady Campaign mouthpiece is here to make up more excuses.

Of course nobody is trying to register and seize guns, well, except in states like California, Oregon, Maryland and Massachusetts. All states run by Democrats.

Love the assertion about once having respect for the organization. It´s nothing at all like the repeated proclamations of new respect for dead Republicans we get from the left all the time.

The gun issue is of great importance. Of even greater import, to me, is the nature of the reportage here, and in so many other articles these days.

In the first sentence the paper reports that "The National Rifle Association is using a Justice Department memo it obtained to argue ...", while later it, without attribution or substantiation, states "ideas the White House has not proposed and does not support. This is, at best, sloppy journalism but more likely symptomatic of sycophancy.

Reporters report; they shouldn´t make judgments.

Hey Rabbit?
Is it big?
Does it taste good?
Do you get a pillow to kneel on?
Cuz you sure seem to enjoy swallowing whatever Presnewdebt tells you to.

Actually, poster #7 has been hanging around here long enough one would think, if s/he ever really read any articles instead of being given talking points by the marxist regime to post, s/he would be absolutely appalled by what the regime has in mind to take away our freedom and enslave us, s/he would be a conservative convert by now.

The WH is always leaking stuff to condition the public on what´s coming. They deny this or that then a month or so later the scheme reemerges.

One of the groups they´re most afraid of is returning vets.According to drudge Obama has banned ex-military from owning guns.

Six years ago I would have agreed with Rabbit. But, having lived through the 1st Obama Administration and the Media Whoring for 6 years - I would feel stupid if I did not assume the worst from this Administration.

Does #7 not remember the promises that Obama made to Brady Bill supporters to regulate guns?
Does #7 not realize that the whole Fast and Furious debacle was a scheme to go after US semi-automatic weapons, which were going to be alleged as going to Mexico drug cartels.
Meantime, every gangbanger in Chicago is heeled and without any clampdown.

The administration sets the tone and direction for the department of justice. If they didn´t feel there was a chance of any particular direction an administration would go, work would not be produced in that direction - even as an exercise.

I just saw a Discovery Channel show on gang violence/ prison at the San Rita prison. Oakland, California has a huge gang violence problem. I am sure that gun registration and legal ownership are not high on list of gang bangers.

Gangs and outlaws will always have guns. Law abiding citizizens need a way to protect themselves. I do not want Obama promising me protection. His word holds no truth.

"ideas the White House has not proposed and does not support..."

Really, bonehead; is that what they told you?

#7 is, I believe, one of those plants the left is using on conservative web sites to attack any and all conservative thought and perpetuate the lies of this Administration. We should just ignore "it"

#7 can always be counted on for opposition comments. As #12 stated, you´d think he or she has been here long enough to learn something.
