It's impossible to know Obama's deepest feelings about mass confiscation. But he has kept the promise he made in 2008: "I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won't take your handgun away."

Remember when he also said this in 2008.

"I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage."

However this in 2012

President Obama Supports Same-Sex Marriage

He might as well have said, “If you like your guns, you can keep your guns.”

Journalists should be licensed. You should not be able to print your opinion through any media outlet unless politicians give you permission. And all articles should be short — no one needs to write a long article.

“Her (Kimberly Corban )question inadvertently exposed the mortifying fact that many people who distrust Obama on guns have no clue what he’s done on guns. His new plans will not impede any law-abiding citizens from getting the firearms they want or using them for protection inside the home or in public.”

im·pede
imˈpēd/
verb
delay or prevent (someone or something) by obstructing them; hinder.

Notice that Ms. Corban was using the word in the context of “delay,” but Steve Chapman purposely uses the “prevent” meaning of the word to try and make his opinion piece make sense and be relevant.

Of course he failed, but it is always worth nothing the liberal media’s relentless attempt to undermine the Constitution and to mislead the public.

My 1991 copy of the casebook "Constitutional Law," by Geoffrey Stone, Louis Seidman, Cass Sunstein and Mark Tushnet, has 1,716 pages -- and no index entry for the Second Amendment.

Cass Sunstein is one of the most vile Statist pieces of dog squeezins around.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of the other three authors of "Constitutional Law" were the same.

I’m saddened by Townhall’s decision to feature crap from lefties. It would be one thing if it were a thoughtful essay but this is just transparent propaganda.

My criticism is not aimed at you Kaslin!

Exactly what I thought at the time.

I wish the young woman would have been able to respond to his insulting answer with just that; “Oh, so basically you are saying that if I like my gun I can keep my gun. Honestly Mr. Obama, given your dismal track record with telling the truth, why should anybody believe that?”

“Don’t answer — it’s a rhetorical question.”

Obama's most famous anti-gun statement was uttered right in Stevie's backyard:

0bama to John R. Lott, Jr.:

"I Don't Believe People Should Be Able To Own Guns"

I can’t believe a Townhall piece gets a “Barf!” warning!

Ditto - Townhall is slip sliding down a precipitous slope. This author's logic skills are deficient.

“...a law professor wrote that the 2nd amendment is not taken seriously by most scholars....”

Translation: “The 2nd Amendment is a serious impediment to the full implementation of the revolution so it must be minimized, denigrated and weakened at every opportunity.”

(definition of scholar: brilliant, intellectual,
very very smart, Progressive genius, who can’t wait to wear his laborer’s cap with the little red star on the top.)

IMHO

The barf was not directed at Townhall.com, it was directed at Steve Chapman the author of the article, which is also in the Chicago Tribune. Although with a different title

It is also in Creators.com with the same title as in Townhall.com

Cass Sunstein is one of the most vile Statist pieces of dog squeezins around.

He's also married to that "three bags, Old Glory and 2 sixpacks of beer" ugly whatever...Samantha Powers, who is most definitely guilty as hell...and I'm not sure even Laz would hit it.

I believe her picture is in the dictionary at "Epitome of Liberal Bag of Pus".

I'm fed up with these dimorat pieces of suppurating crap.

They are both "practicing" Catholics, yet he's been married and divorced twice before, I think, and she is an active and outspoken supporter of abortion.

Real good people, great examples of what the American Family should be...NOT.

The author misses the key to the question in the headline.

Obama threatens the second amendment through his stated intentions. Being able to abrogate the amendment is immaterial - although the author’s faith in the supreme court is quaint and dangerous.

Democrats are rust on liberty. It never stops trying to rot liberty until there is nothing left but decay.
