I remember in Baraq’s 2008 campaign, he had a lot of radio spots featuring a Pittsburgh Steelers player talking about how Baraq would NEVER change gun laws.

Yeah, about that “mayors against illegal guns”,

new gun laws should fix it, right?

And I don’t care how sincere these guys feel, tools and willing tools.

Mayors against illegal guns? Guns which are inanimate objects and therefore they can only be illegal based on the person brandishing them. But these same Mayors support illegal immigration which by its legal title means a crime was committed.

Makes perfect sense.

Guys who know they can’t be trusted with guns projecting their own proclivities onto everybody else.

Well sure, why wouldn’t they want law-abiding, non-leftist elite whites disarmed? We make better crime victims that way.

Why should we care anyway which official powers oppose the Second Amendment, when Obama signs orders enforcing non-enforcement of our borders and immigration law? This is one blatantly, openly, brazenly hypocritical administration and supporters. We need “sanctuary cities” for law-abiding (according to our Constitution) gun owners.

Each and every one of those players had major security teams on the sidelines for the games they played on the field.

If other groups (ie illegal aliens) can practice non-compliance with Constitutional laws, then we can practice non-compliance with unConstitutional ones. I think it’s going to come to that, and I include non-registration. That only makes you a sitting duck for them.
