Why does Obama fear armed citizenry?

Exclusive: Joseph Farah pits president's actions against words of our founders

Barack Obama recently made some extraordinary statements about gun ownership that need a thorough refutation.

Not only did Obama misrepresent the very reason the Bill of Rights includes a specific protection of the unalienable right to bear arms, he also misrepresented his own personal position, which is clearly for the ban of most firearms currently owned by Americans.

Here’s what he said in Colorado last week: “The opponents of some of these common-sense laws have ginned up fears among responsible gun owners that have nothing to do with what’s being proposed, nothing to do with the facts, but feeds into this suspicion about government. You hear some of these quotes:

‘I need a gun to protect myself from the government.’

‘We can’t do background checks because the government’s going to come take my guns away.’

“The government’s us,” Obama continued. “These officials are elected by you. They are elected by you, I am elected by you. I am constrained as they are constrained by a system that our founders put in place. This is a government of and by and for the people. So surely we can have a debate that’s not based on the notion somehow that your elected representatives are trying to do something to you other than potentially prevent another group of families from grieving the way the families of Aurora or Newtown or Columbine have grieved. We’ve got to get past some of the rhetoric that gets perpetuated that breaks down trust and is so over the top that it just shuts down all discussion.

Same reason Obama’s Mentor Bill Ayers fears an armed citizenry.

It's a lot harder and more risky to round up and execute the 25 million people who will need to be eliminated to pave the way for their new government

I think we can take it as a given at this point that president hussein misrepresents pretty much everything.

And, by the way, it’s call being a stone liar.

April 2008 “ ...they cling to their guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.” B. Obama

That pretty much says it all. No, we aren’t like you. We don’t like you.
We’re just hoping to make it to 2016, we’re just waiting you out. Resign.
Do something good for the country, for a change.

Me too.

These would-be tyrants had best think twice before they make felons of a few million of us old gun nuts.

Must be planning something that he thinks will make bitter clingers mad enough to shoot back. OTOH, collectivist tyrants never saw a freedom they didn't hate, so maybe it's just general principles.

There is no way to answer the question posed by this article without resorting to a long string of profanities, so I’ll let it go.

A virtuous government need not fear its citizens. A government that would disarm the populace has bad intentions and fears for its own safety, not ours.

“Shall not be infringed” is the Supreme Law of the Land. What is there to debate about that phrase?
