"Obama will 'erase' 2nd Amendment next term..."

[finnegan]

If one thing Obama has proven above everything else, its that he constantly listens to his advisors on politically damaging policies. He caves on everything Republicans take a firm stand against. Every, single, thing. They'll tell him not to mess with gun owners even if he wins next time or else he'll have a repeat of the Clinton mid-term fiasco, and he'll listen for the sake of the next Democrat to run.
Also, I sure a certain self-preservation instinct has to kick in with the liberal paranoia. He has to be thinking that he is already two strikes down being black and a Democrat in some sick, twisted militiaman's mind; and that banning guns would be the final straw. After all, he's said as much that people will "cling to their Bibles and their guns"; regardless of the fact that there has been zero attempts at a President's life from "right wing gun nuts" in American history.

What would come out of this then is that we wouldn't have to worry about sending troops to Syria to stop their government from killing their own people because that is what would be happening here?
.

The American government, especially with progressives in charge, has a history of singling out people whom they deem are a danger to national security and dealing with them accordingly. Ask the Japanese and Germans of the time of the world wars. I fear it could happen again, under the right circumstances.

I say let him try.

I"m surprised this thread hasn't been deleted due to forbidden topics...

I also REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that this job in Austria pans out for me.

Can we not charter a boat ...

... and accidentally lose all of the SCOTUS in the tragic accident up on Lake Mi.??

What could be done to stop this if he stacks the court? Lose your existing guns in a tragic boating accident.

This is just talk from the NRA I dont think anything like this is on his agenda

 

[LEaSH]

It probably is just the NRA using the "WMD-ish" method of getting support through a new and fresh (and frightened) source of membership/cash.

And Barry WILL be reelected. I know it's 10 months or so away, but I don't see it looking any better for the republican party.

Just because the left has wised up and their candidates have learned to shut up about gun control, it doesn't mean it's not on their radar.

A snake is always a snake; a tiger can't change his stripes.

Just more NRA fund raising furor. Nothing anti gun is likely to get past the house and even the senate wouldn't likely be able to get the numbers necessary to pass egregious gun control. There's really very little the executive branch can do except harass gun owners through regulation via the BATFU. While republicrats are more than happy to work with Obama on many things, gun control won't be one of them. As for SCOTUS...how are they anti-2A? They've got the same makeup as before Obama and no-one is talking about retirement at the moment. Shoot the only one who might retire would be the hag, Ginsberg and she'd be replaced by one just like herself. No gain, no loss.

The old-school thinking was this...Fearless Leader has shown a propensity to go around Congress and legislate through the unelected agency bureaucrats or czars. He is an ideologue through and through...unfortunately this is possible.

My bet would be that a few people would be SWAT-raided, their dogs shot, their homes ransacked before they were sent to jail (if they lived) and their children made wards of the state with the "scarlet letter" of being the child of a criminal. Those few would be shown repeatedly on TV as examples of what would happen to those who failed to comply with the new "law", to make more people willing to voluntarily comply.... maybe even an amnesty: If you bring them down and turn them in, we won't prosecute you at all. If we have to come get them, we'll happily eff up your WHOLE day and maybe turn you into Swiss cheese in the process.

What would happen to those doing the confiscations? A few would fall victim to the "cold dead hands" gun owners, I think, and then the PD would start crashing armored vehicles into houses so that no one could shoot back. Think Waco.

Whatever happens, it will be a sad day... and I really, really hope I'm completely wrong about this. I hope even more that Barry Hussein and whoever succeeds him never decide to do something that stupid.

Hey, quit sugar coating it Bill. Give it to us straight!

Isn't Rahm in Chicago trying to do something similar? Banning a bunch of guns and giving people 90 days to turn them in. If you have them afterwards, the police confiscate and arrest you? I know it hasn't passed but I thought I read that it's been drafted and submitted.

Could very well be the wolves testing the perimeter.

I do think that this is a legitimate issue. If a Democrat majority takes over congress there is a possibility that gun control will be a topic pursued. Obama may not have passed any gun control legislation but he signed off on new BATFE "regulations" and he sure as hell tried to drum up support for an AWB. Let's not forget 2009 when Holder and that puppet Calderon claimed that we needed an AWB. What happened? Holder and company created a crisis designed in part to get an AWB. Obama has got to be gone in 2013.

His name is Rat. He should be referred to as such.

I did notice a small, odd shaped plane flying in long, slow circles around my house this morning. Probably just a coincidence, right?

Rhetoric. Maybe they are trying to get prices to go up some more.

Point of view

I haven't read the entire thread but here's my point of view. I don't really care if anybody thinks all the Republican candidates are anti-2A or not. As far as I'm concerned that isn't even an issue in this election. Certainly we would prefer to have a strong pro-Constitution POTUS but opinions differ as to who that may be. We know, without a doubt, Obama is not that guy. He's not just anti-2A, he's anti-Constitution! The issue is once a president is in his second term, he is no longer restrained by a desire to be re-elected. Therefore, he can push his personal agendas at will. Our next POTUS will very likely appoint several SCOTUS Justices. The current SCOTUS has demonstrated a pro-2A leaning but only by the narrowest of margins. Put 2 more Obama appointees in there, FOR LIFE, and every pro-2A case recently won would be retried with very predictable outcomes.

What's the solution? Replace him! Whoever else wins the office will find themselves under the gun after one term, just like Obama is now. Under these circumstances, for a gun owner to vote for Obama because their pet Republican isn't picked to be the candidate is worse than not voting at all. and keep the change!

The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.

Emanuel want everyone in Illinois to register their handguns at a cost of $65 each for five years with a $25 renewal fee thereafter. Note that like his predecessor, he does not confine his socialist nannystate nonsense to Chicago. The buffoon governor there wants debate on this (no doubt per Emanuel's dictate).

And let's all remember the cesspool where Obama got his political start.
