Start impeachment against him right now.
The writer of the articles should surround himself with the children whose rights Obama is eating.
Any congressman or senator who fails to impeach should also be impeached.
Down with tyranny.
Which one of our fearless representatives in Washington is going to come on after this load of commie diarrhea and denounce this assault on our Constitutional Guarantees?
Who?
If there is silence from our side of the isle, we will know
we are on our own.
Rejoined the NRA today. :-)
Americans are, I think, much more pro-gun today than in the past.
I suspect this is 0bambi’s Bridge Too Far.
My very liberal sister is thinking of buying a handgun. That’s how pro-gun this country is.
Apparently the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is going to trump the second amendment right.
I've got a sure fire (no pun) recommendation that congress an take immediately;
Impeach the flop eared Mussolini behind the podium.
Thank you for the thread.

Locks are only meant to keep the honest people out.
The people exploited as props....How many more have to suffer like them.
America we can do better ....
basically trying to shame us into his legislation.
followed by an Airforce One tour with intense MSM coverage why this is good for us
Limbaugh is saying the NRA is angering the media and the left by attacking Obama. He is reading a article written by some leftist who is bashing the NRA. Limbaugh saying Obama has protection and has security. But Americans are being attacked for securing themselves. In fact, Rush says Obamas kids are not in danger because they get protection. So a NRA ad came out bashing Obama for hypocrisy. Rush also says Obama is creating chaos, fear and anger in the country.

Couple questions from another posting:
Where does The Dear Liar think he has the Authority to ban arbitrarily defined Assault Weapons?
Where does The Dear Liar think he has the Authority to ban arbitrarily defined high-capacity clips?
Where does the Dear Liar think he has the Authority for increased background checks on gun buyers?
What is the Difference between an Arm as in the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED AND an Arbitrarily defined Assault Weapon?
If O’Bastard had any balls he would craft his own anti-second amendment legislation and try a cram down. But instead, in typical style, he wants the Republicans in the lead to evolve and and “change” pay homage and look real bad. The republic is dead.
