What Does a Second Obama Term Mean for Gun Owners? (DTD 11-06-12)
Townhall.com ^ | NOVEMBER 6, 2012 | Katie Pavlich

During the second presidential debate of 2012, President Barack Obama said, “What I’m trying to do is get a broader conversation about how we reduce the violence generally. Part of it, is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced.”

You can bet he meant what he said. Obama has a long history of holding anti-Second Amendment views, despite portraying himself as pro-hunter and reasonable about gun control. A second term spells trouble for law-abiding citizens wanting to exercise their right to keep and bear arms: Obama is strongly opposed to concealed carry, has supported gun owner licensing and gun registration and voted to ban semi-automatic rifles, handguns and ammunition during his time in the Illinois State Senate. He even voted for the criminal prosecution of those who use a firearm in self-defense.

“I don’t believe that people should be able to own guns,” Obama told author and economist John Lott, according to an interview Lott did on the Michael Medved Show in 2008.

The effects of a second Obama term will reach far beyond the next four years and will have grave consequences for gun owners. If re-elected, Obama will have as many as three opportunities to place more anti-Second Amendment judges on the Supreme Court… for life. During his first term, he appointed Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, both of whom, as you might expect, have staunch anti-Second Amendment records.

First Lady Michelle Obama understands the power her husband holds should he receive another four years.

“We’re going to make a choice that will impact our lives for decades to come… let’s not forget what it meant when my husband appointed those two brilliant Supreme Court justices… let’s not forget the impact that their decisions will have on our lives for decades to come,”

Nothing like a coincidental 'nudge' called Sandy Hook 30 days before the start of his second term to help Obama in his quest to disarm Americans, eh?

Coincidence? Like Hillary having a concussion one week before she's due to incriminate herself on Benghazi before Congress?

Time to question why Adam Lanza (or someone else) destroyed his computer hard drive.. It wasn't like he was worried what people might think about him. He blew that the moment he shot his own mother in the face multiple times. Someone or some entity (domestic OR foreign) is being protected with destruction of that hard drive. ADAM LANZA'S HARD DRIVE IS THE SMOKING GUN, not the ones used in the massacre.

This article reads like it was written AFTER the Sandy Hook massacre, but.. It wasn't. Got your tin foil hat out yet?

I’m going to buy 2 or 3 lowers next week and I’ll put em together later. But, I’ll at least have the evil parts.

Good luck buying lowers. Try Palmetto State Armory. They are just now showing lowers being available. They are $20.00 more than 12 days ago.

Where were all the millions of gun owners on election day?? It’s not like we didn’t see this coming, whether it was Sandy Hook or another event.

What Does a Second Obama Term Mean for Gun Owners?


It means that we will certainly have a civil war within 4 years. That is what it means.

[ It means that we will certainly have a civil war within 4 years. ]


Theres not enough intelligent people in this country left to have an actual Civil War..
Any attempt to have a CW would become a wide spread RIOT..
With most being cleaned up by “progressive federal” forces.. if they got frisky..

Few americans would take a chance to have family members attacked, harassed, or intimated..
AND most all single folks have been thoroughly brain washed..

The/A Civil War will NOT HAPPEN..
Domestic terror/aka-revolt may happen for a time..
The brain wash in the public screwls has been going on for more than a hundred years..
Americans TODAY are not what they were in 1940.. or even 1950..

Americans generally have become Farm Animals to be “farmed”..
Milked, egged, worked, herded, flocked, and USED..........
(DOMESTICATED)

He cant get anything the next two years but in 2015 and 2016 when Pelosi controls the House again and Reid gets his filibuster proof Senate they will have a huge chance to kill gun ownership, it could be huge taxes on guns and ammo.

“in 2015 and 2016 when Pelosi controls the House again and Reid gets his filibuster proof Senate...”

It will become a “filibuster proof Senate” NEXT year. Reid has already stated that he intends to limit the filibuster (and this was before Sandy Hook). Expect the number of votes required for cloture to be changed from 60 to 51...

I read this before.
They still will have some rules that allow the 41 or more to slow things down but that doesn't get the bills to Obama.’ They need the House.

When Pelosi takes the House in 2015 nothing will stop them.

What does putting that sub-human monster in office in the first place mean?

I don’t know anything about putting these things together and was just going to buy em fully assembled.

Is Palmetto an excellent performing part?

Pardon my venting but after responding to your post I just got real angry.

I had other guns I wanted to buy before getting into AR’s and this gun grabbing crap is infuriating.

I tried to explain to a friend my M1A’s, my opinion, are much deadlier than the AK or AR and I can put bigger holes in stuff from further away....if I was some sick twisted FK. A 195 grain .308 leaves a bigger mark than than 223/556.

So then I hear that no one should have semi auto. You should only be able to shoot one bullet at a time because the only reason for semi is to kill people.

My response was “Uhmmmmm, sure. Yuh know, not to insult your stoopit statement, but you haven’t thought your plan through.

Why not say we can only shoot muskets. you know, because then you can only get off two rounds a minute.

How’d that work for this silly bastuhds wearing this ridiculous costumes red¿¿¿¿

I hate this talk about guns.

It’s evil and psych that are the problems.

Frankly, there aint much you’re going about either.

Abel didn’t care about his brother enough to refrain from ultimate violence and sin. In fact, he was downright a smart ass when God asked where Abel could be found.
.Then the ultimate arbiter of morality pens a couple of tablets stating specifically “Thou shalt not murder”. And mankind continues, out of envy, covetousness, to wantonly take that which does not belong to him.

Another man’s life and through their ar rogance imprint their evil into to lives of loved ones and friends
No Mr. Obama, you are protected by men of means and I mean to protect those I love by any means.

Now GFY ....

The Palmetto State stuff is good. I understand your frustration with this whole gun grab. True...the bigger the bullet, the bigger the hole. The lethality of modern weapons has to be higher because the lethality of what a tyrannical government can throw at us is greater. That musket-assault weapon dichotomy does not wash. The 2nd Amendment is to stop the tyranny of government. Hang tough, patriot!!
