Obama Gun Reform

[Ronin13]

Man I hate it when they start messing with our right's, they spend our money and then take away our gun rights. I had a teacher tell me this "quit school and use the money to buy all the guns you can...you can always go to school later in life, you can't buy a banned gun!" haha

You had a teacher tell you that? Holy cow! I wanna go to a school where the teachers are pistol packin' educators! It is really sad that our tax dollars pay the salaries of Obama's anti-gun "think tank" people... I guess the "think tank" doesn't read the "constitution."

"The Giffords shooting had, seemingly, upped the pressure to implement reforms."

Hmmm..So let me get this right, it's all fine and dandy when one of us peasants get shot and killed by some thug. But, when it starts happening to the elite government class, new laws must be passed>>WTF..


All these Fuc!ers need to go.

Obozo blew his chance at any "Gun Control"
Shot himself in the foot with "Fast and Furious".
This debacle showcased his "under the radar" control attempts and Congress is furious, even libs that support the Pretender in Chief are incensed.
FAIL!
If he tries anything sneaky-err, sneakier than usual- he really puts himself in a bad place with an election 13 months away.

What we have to watch is shifts in policy, such as the recent open letter to FFL's regarding MMJ card holders and firearms.
Also we have to hope and pray that the SCOTUS conservative judges stay the course.

Of course all bets are off if he loses next year. That grey area between November and January he will be pissed.

They have been told many times the errors in their opinions. And yet they still spout off about the same stuff. The people they are trying to fool with this stuff (me) isn't listening anymore. We have heard the truth and found them to be liars and unamerican.
They want reasonable gun control measures. Try repealing a gun control law or 2. I don't think they will find it as hard as pushing more controls.

there are plenty of these kind of teachers in our public school system, now getting them to say that is highly doubtful. I am guessing that guy was a college professor.

Or just omit everything the Brady crap did to restrict our 2a freedoms, give it 6 months, if crime goes up then re-institute it, but I can tell you it won't need to be.

Those things only are meant to kill!


Question for the history buffs, can anyone one here think of a single item that has been perceived as a public threat, and then banned by the gov't and actually went away? All that comes to mind is slavery, and one could argue it was just replaced with migrant workers who arguably lived in a state of indentured servitude. I can't think of any product that became illegal and didn't just begin residing under the table and in the dark corners of society. I think one could argue the big gov't types have created the ghetos and the divides in society by banning so many things those who use them become a second class of citizen, often unable to get help, because they are now a "criminal."

Absinthe. Until the mental and moral degradation sunk to new lows recently, absinthe just flat out disappeared. You could also make a case to say LSD and PCP have largely gone away although that's more because the users found "better" ways to get high without the dangers of psychotic episodes that LSD and PCP posed but they ARE essentially gone. Leaded gasoline and house paint are gone too.

Make it so. And whomever is right after that owes the other an apology and must take up another hobby that is less dangerous to the constitution. Like (ritual) suicide.

Not entirely accurate. LSD and PCP are not gone, I know plenty of people who regularly use LSD- and PCP is really not gone... Prohibition just forces it underground, doesn't make it go away. Except for Quaaludes, whatever happened to them? I see it in old movies all the time but haven't heard of any of my druggie friends using them, and they'll do anything!

I'm not sure if this was pointed out, but it was posted in July.
