President Obama plans to ally himself with big business once again by using crony capitalist tactics to pass gun control just as he used them to pass Obamacare. In this case, Obama reportedly plans to make sure that the new gun control law benefits big businesses that sell weapons.
“[T]he White House is developing strategies to work around the National Rifle Association that one source said could include rallying support from Wal-Mart and other gun retailers for measures that would benefit their businesses,” The Washington Post reports.
“Wal-Mart and other major gun retailers may have an incentive to support closing a loophole that allows people to bypass background checks if they purchase firearms at gun shows or through other types of private sales,” the Post explained, citing a source who works with the Obama administration on gun issues.
Obama used the same tactic when passing his health care law, when Jim Messina (the White House deputy chief of staff, at the time, who went on to manage the 2012 presidential campaign) negotiated with the drug industry to get them to pay for pro-Obamacare television ads.
In exchange, “drug lobbyists and White House officials crafted the legislation,” as The Washington Examiner’s Tim Carney recalled. “Obama abandoned his campaign promises and pledged to protect the drug industry’s government-granted privileges. The industry also secured subsidies and lengthy government-protected monopolies on biotech drugs.”
An illegal president, who cares what he says or does, its all lawless anyway. Just another DICKtator in an endless list of them.
And they were just going to vote him out of office. Silly goose...
Smoke and mirrors.
First off he will assign Biden the position so all sights figuratively will be upon him.
Obama doesn’t want to confiscate all the guns, no he will pressure a state or two like Illinois to go draconian, complete forced door to door search with full out geared teams, checkpoints and snitch lines.
Just one state, enough to make the rest of America explode.
He will claim even our own military does not have sufficient manpower nor can they be trusted, a world wide call goes out for the hiring of mercenaries, they will assume the costume of the Blue Helmets but are paid by the same folks that protect Obama, namely the Muslim Botherhood.
So again we are looking at Islam in America, they are the ones just itching to disarm America.
Time to wonder who will get the waivers.

Once again, the heirs of the guy who built that company, four of the ten richest families on earth, are a claque of Marxists who will gladly volunteer to support this effort 'to improve public safety in our schools.' They probably think they have rural America by the throat, and they may be right.
