Why is Obama in Minnesota to push gun control? (+video)
Christian Science Monitor ^ | Feburary 4, 2013 | Peter Grier

President Obama on Monday is in Minnesota pushing his proposals to curb US gun violence. He’ll visit the Minneapolis Police Department’s Special Operations Center and make remarks promoting a renewed ban on assault weapons and expanded background checks on gun buyers.

[snip] The longer answer is that Minnesota is simply the first stop as the administration mounts a public-diplomacy campaign on an issue fraught with emotions on both sides.

Assault weapons have been (banned since 1986) OBAMA DOES NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT (THE NATIONAL DEBT) would be my guess....

Why? Because he is an unnecessary appendage. The DNC is actually in charge.

Get on the horn folks, and let you congresspeople know you’re against the “Universal (cough) Background Check”. This probably the one item our side will compromise (i.e.surrender) away if we don’t yell bloody murder.

I favor expanded psychological evaluations for prospective Affirmative Action hires for the LAPD.

Texas to Obozo:

Every one of the recent mass shootings have been done by a Rabid Commie Dem or a child of one. This is the pattern, not access to guns.

Now, when Obozo succeeds in reducing gun violence in Chicago we can talk about this subject again. That will happen when Hell freezes over.

“Why is Obama ...” The presidency has been called a “bully pulpit” so he sees that as license to be the national bully.

Yeah, he’s talking about the debt. He has the temerity to claim that the debt is being reduced. http://www.usdebtclock.org/

If the GOP-e had any stones, they would walk out if he has the effrontery to make this bald-faced lie in the SOTU address.

The federal government NEEDS a National Firearms Data base or everything else the socialist do will be for naught!

Don't be whipsawed back and forth on the leftist gun control, the Federal Government is already collecting intelligence on all Americans and their ownership of firearms, they want desperately to bring this out into the public realm so they can begin to share this intelligence with local LEO’s to disarm the American people through attrition (one firearm at a time) after the federal government decides which class of Americans are allowed (by the government) to posses a firearm!

That is the only goal of the federal government, all other demands e.g. “assault weapons ban,” “closing the gun show loophole,” etc. is nothing more than a distraction to gin up the socialist and get the American people to watch the right hand while the left hand takes your second amendment protections from you!!!!

When everything is boiled down, the feds want a National Firearms Data Base so every American has to come to the federal government and ask (get permission) to purchase or sell a firearm all the while placing same in the National Data Base for future confiscation. Example: today you are allowed to possess a firearm, sometime during your lifetime, you get into an argument with your girl friend or wife, she dials 911, in the end, you both make up, you are NOT prosecuted, but, your names is now in the National Firearm Data Base as an owner of X, Y, and Z firearms. You now have a “domestic” charge against you, never prosecuted, but, your name is flagged for potential “mental issues” and the Freddy’s show up at your door step demanding you turn over all your firearms immediately. You can take them to court, but, in say between 3-5 years you [might] get a ruling in your favor, but, the federal government has deep (tax payers) pockets and will appeal until they get exactly what the leftist want, the American people disarmed. If you are unsure something like this could happen, look at the so called “no fly list” where they actually had that pig Sen. Kennedy on it after Chappaquiddick (where an intern died), but, Kennedy was never prosecuted for a crime.

Make no mistakes my fellow Americans, the feds want a National Firearms Data Base to deny all Americans their 2nd amendment protections one firearm at a time through attrition and the data base gives the feds the power over you to decide who will be allowed to possess and who will not be allowed. Can we all remember “Joe the Plumber” in Ohio and how the leftist used their positions of power in the State of Ohio to access his private records to attack and destroy him simply because he dared to ask the “one” a question! What in the hell do you think will happen when the feds have a National Firearm Data Base recording every firearm purchase, sale, or transfer by an American!

Because the RATS control both the MN house and Senate and Little Tinker Doodles is in the Governors Office so he thinks it will pass. But many rural RATS won’t touch it.
