Obama: AK-47s Belong In The Hands Of Soldiers, Not Civilians (video)

I, like most Americans, believe that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms," President Obama said at the National Urban League convention in New Orleans. "I think we recognize the traditions of gun ownership that passed on from generation to generation. That hunting and shooting are a cherished national heritage."

"But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals. That they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities," Obama said Wednesday night.

Hubert Humphrey was among the last sane Democrats.

GLAD TO KNOW that Gun Ownership is now a tradition, instead of a 2nd Amendment RIGHT guaranteed by the Constitution.

“Hubert Humphrey was among the last sane Democrats.”

I met him and spoke briefly. He seemed a decent sort, and he treated me like he was truly interested, direct engagement.

“the Chi-Coms are cowards when the execute, they do not see the face of their victims.”

Practicality over everything. It probably goes quicker that way, you don’t need to turn the convict around. March them up, hold them, bang. There are videos of some of these executions, and they are done with a minimum of fuss.

Obama just keeps pushing buttons. I think he is trying to provoke something before the election. By the way, I always enjoy your posts.

Once again the ‘but’ crops up with liberals.

“But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals.”

Did you see the “criminals” straw man? The statement also suggests by innuendo that those of us who own AKs are criminals.

Your AK isn’t going to do you much good on the bottom of a lake.
Mine’s in a double tennis racket case with two 30 round magazines, in the trunk of my car.
As one of the guru writers from Guns magazine put it, a pistol is only good for fighting your way to your rifle.

Have you been following the `flash mobs’ (Holder’s peeps mostly) that have been hitting supermarkets and convenience stores? Look for those to spill over into the streets.

There’s no need to be coy about your God-given right to keep and bear firearms. Get in their faces: They’re left and we’re right.

Aurora happened because a large crowd of unarmed, unsuspecting people were surprised by a heavily armed, cowardly assailant. Not because of the 2nd Amendment and our adherence to it.

A disarmed population means a helpless population.

Hitler knew it.

Stalin knew it.

Ho Chi Minh knew it.

Mao knew it.

Obama knows it.

This communist knows damn well what kind of weapons the second ammendment refers to - but he knows there’s an awful lot of people out there so ignorant of their own country’s history and the history of tyranny that he can fool them. All the rat bastard talking points are trying to play the 2nd ammendment as just a Hunting Rights Clause.

That they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities," Obama said Wednesday night.

Hey Obozo, in case you hadn't noticed the Streets of Chicago are a battlefield of war. You are safer walking around at night in Kabul Afghanistan than anywhere on the south side of Chicago. And it is people who look like your sons (if you had any) who are doing most, if not all, of the killing.

You want to take away the ability of law abiding citizens to protect themselves from the thugs you and your community organizers have created. Piss on you, Obozo.

Yeah, an AK round, 7.62mm x 39mm is comparable to a .30-30 round, about the minimum you’d want to hunt deer with.

Not an AK=47, but Obama will pee his pants after someone tells him that citizens can buy this at Walmart.

Better to have them leaning up against the wall, or on gun racks in easy reach. Always good to have 1 concealed on person at all times (not AK pattern of course). An unloaded and locked gun is nothing more than a club in an emergency situation.

But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers,...

"Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people" (Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788)

I'd like to see all these "AK-47s" the liberals are always spouting off about. Where are they getting their info, O'Reilly?
