Obama vows to pursue gun control ‘with or without Congress’
The Daily Caller ^ | 1/28/2014 | Alex Pappas

President Obama vowed on Tuesday night to pursue gun control “with or without Congress.”

In his State of the Union address, Obama referenced recent mass shootings and called for new gun laws. In the aftermath of mass shootings over the last several years, Obama and Democrats have unsuccessfully pushed for new gun control measures.

“Citizenship means standing up for the lives that gun violence steals from us each day,” Obama said.

“Obama forgets that policeman will never protect you. They protect no one. That’s not their job.”

. . . but, the police are being militarized by the Freddy's who will use them to subdue and eliminate with extreme prejudice any “resisters” to the implementation of communism in the United States!

You are 100% correct, the police are not your friends and will kill you if you display a firearm, just ask anyone in Northern Michigan where two (2) people have been shot and killed by first the Michigan State Police who claimed he pointed a firearm at him (on his private property) and the second was murdered by a “first responder” who also claims the person pointed a firearm at him on his own private property and in his private home at 3:00 am!

The police better remember that a firearm is a double edge sword that can cut both ways!

“Citizenship means standing up for the lives that gun violence steals from us each day,”

Citizenship means standing up to a dictator and his toads who steal our rights, freedoms and futures from us each day.

Gun prosecutions under Obama down more than 45 percent

Despite his calls for greater gun control, including a new assault weapons ban that extends to handguns, President Obama’s administration has turned away from enforcing gun laws, cutting weapons prosecutions some 40 percent since a high of about 11,000 under former President Bush.

“After the speech, Republicans immediately took aim. ‘He doesn’t have the constitutional authority to act unilaterally and pass legislation on gun control,’”

I’m sure the Republicans are going to go to battle for us on this, and never cave on anything.

Unless it means shutting down the government! That the RINO’s will never do and they make sure Obumbum knows that when ever a threat to reduce the size of government comes up or defunding Obumbum care, which in turns means, the RINO’s have lost the deal before it even begins!

There was a thread here on FR about ten days ago which mentioned the Connecticut “authorities” who were miffed because only 4% of citizens registered their so-called “assault” weapons.

If this is true, that’s good news....it means 96% of Connecticut gun owners won’t be bullied by the gun grabbers.

Hitler came for the guns first, after the minds of the youth, before implementing fully his dictatorship. Obviously, he did not mean himself, personally.

This is the equivalent of “I’m gonna have sex with you, with or without your consent”.

And his actions need to be put in those terms.

“No one will stand up to him. This was the purpose the left saw in electing a black man. They knew they would have the race card to play and that he could push the limits of all laws and constitutionality with little or no resistance.”

Worth repeating.

Rapists sometimes tell their victims to, ‘stop resisting’. We’re hearing that more and more from the highest levels of government.

Because “sheep dogs” will protect “the flock” from the government as well as from the other wolves.

THIS is what they don’t like.

What Republicans? Are there any true conservatives left? I wonder.

An idiot who is protected by heavily armed guards wants to take away our right to protect our own families. The idiot blames a gun for the violent crime of an individual. The idiot talks out of his ass.

Big surprise. After the way Obama tried to shove his gun-control agenda through Congress a year ago only to get completely crushed in April, it would seem obvious he's not going to try to convince them this year.

So he will rule by diktat, with more 'the kings word is law' (aka 'exectutive orders'), and, as they have already demonstrated, Congress will sit on its thumbs, paralyzed with fear of being labeled 'racist', thereby nullifying any 'checks and balances', and the country burns.

Does that mean he is going to “Ban” Chicago where “gun control” seems to not be working as planned?

LOLOLOLOL! Like the “lyin’ king” cares about the particulars of his “author-it-I”.

Republican does not mean “conservative” and that is what confuses so many Americans.

Most Republicans are Republican in Name Only (RINO) where they are not conservative at all and in fact are more sympathetic to liberal Democratic principles than they are conservative principles. These Republicans then hide their true political principles from the public who normally vote Republican expecting a “conservative” who in the end is deflated when they learn the candidate they voted for is nothing different from the liberal he or she marches across the isle to kiss, swap spit with and pat on the rear-end to get along to go along!

This is why this government is currently out of control! The RINO’s are trying to pay back the American people who stayed home and did not vote for their precious RINO Romney and are now trying to tee up more RINO’s for 2016, e.g. Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, etc.

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...
disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...
Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants;
they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides,
for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
Thomas Jefferson

EO’s have been around for a long time. It’s the context in which they are used that’s the problem. And with the “lyin’ king”, I’m thinkin’ the context ain’t gonna be good.
