Obama: Gun Control Won't Lead to Confiscation Because 'I Am Constrained by a System Our Founders
The Blaze ^ | 4/3/13 | Jason Howerton

Posted on 04/03/2013 6:58:38 PM PDT by Nachum

DENVER (TheBlaze/AP) — Ratcheting up pressure for Congress to limit access to guns, President Barack Obama said Wednesday that recent steps by Colorado to tighten its gun laws show “there doesn’t have to be a conflict” between keeping citizens safe and protecting Second Amendment rights to gun ownership.

“I believe there doesn’t have to be a conflict in reconciling these realities,” Obama said in Denver, where he stepped up his call for background checks for all gun purchases and renewed his demand that Congress at least vote on banning assault weapons and limiting access to large-capacity ammunition magazines.

The president dismissed gun owners’ concerns that gun control legislation could be a stepping stone to gun confiscation in the U.S., saying “I am constrained by a system our founders put in place.”

When you listen to the nation's Liar In Chief on any subject I always wander back to:

"If you like your Doctor you can keep your doctor."

"If you like your health insurance you can keep your health insurance."

"Your health insurance premiums will go down."

As an Illinois state senator, Obama opposed gay marriage. During both inaugurations, he also swore – with his hand on the bible – to uphold the laws of the land.

"If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that."

In a June 2012 with the White House press corps, Obama said that the "private sector is doing fine. Where we’re seeing weaknesses in our economy is in the state and local government."

Obama's INS documents at the national archives are missing for the entire week (around August 1961) in which Ann Dunham was supposed to have returned to the United States with young Barack in tow.

"Let me be absolutely clear: if you are a family making less than $250,000 a year . . . you will not see your taxes go up."

Oh well we could go on for at least another 100 famous quotes, but you get the point - anytime his pie hole opens out pops another one.

2A is there for the very reason he spouts - but he and his RAT party like to stop before the part about ".....shall not be infringed."

If he ever leaves office I suspect the media will never mention his name. And if it does, it’ll be something negative about obamacare. To this day you don’t hear the media saying anything about Carter. They’d like to pretend he never existed.

It is all a ruse to make the people/sheep subject to his nifty swift reversals. He thinks running a nation is tantamount to running a shifty basketball team. This guy can’t utter a honest and believable word because he just isn’t programmed to be such a person. His words are social and political quicksand waiting for the gullible 50+or- & the other people in this Country.

The question is quite a royal pain in the family jewel box as to the degree in which the Royal Kenyan Coals sac may be
1.subjected to being constrained
2. the extent of which the constraining process is allowed
to go on
3. The degree in which constraining extends to a point where the royal family coals are the world's first black diamonds.

You’re also one of the biggest liars and phonies on Planet Earth, and no one with half a brain would trust you as far as the corner store.

So instead, people who buy guns are registered, with background checks.

Everyone’s tax is going up except his millionaire and billionaire buddies. The man is nothing more than a professional conman and liar. He is consistent though - he lies to the American people on a daily basis as long as gets him what he wants.

“I am constrained by a system our founders put in place.”

I have learned in my very short time on this earth, if someone feels compelled to “deny” something, it is probably because he has been exposed as the liar he is and has to continue denying his true ambitions/goals in order to continue the lie.

Remember, the US Senate has not voted on a “universal firearms registration and background check” legislation yet and obama has to keep the lie to the American people going until at least there is a vote in the senate!

After that, he does not care what the American people think of him or wants, just so long as he gets to move the goal post one more inch closer to full “firearm confiscation” in the United States!

“Where’s the guy...”

I had the exact same thought! This “constrained” statement is ripe with underlying meaning!

For example, “I need to be free from these archaic limitations.” Or, “Let’s ‘fundamentally change’ the government ‘system’.” Or, “I have no respect for the foundational principles of this nation. I want to rule without constraint.”

There’s more. But not now.
