Now Obama Debuts Pledge to Make Guns 'Childproof'
Surprising very few of us, we see that once in office, Obama is more open about his gun control efforts at WhiteHouse.gov:
Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.
How, precisely, does the Obama Administration plan on "making guns in this country childproof"? Mandatory trigger locks?

For a guy that has a child’s understanding of guns and our Constitution, this doesn’t surprise me.
Let’s lock those guns up, so criminals will be safer.
I support any and all measures Obama thinks of for guns and their control and proper treatment ... after a brief trial period starting with the secret service, and then the military, and then the nation’s police forces. If it’s good enough for those groups, it’s good enough for me. If for some reason it doesn’t work with them, it doesn’t work for me.
“Now Obama Debuts Pledge to Make Guns ‘Childproof’”
So, he’s not going to allow liberal Democrats to own them?
What's with these people?
Are they really THAT dumb?
I’ve got a great idea. When t comes to gun locks, let’s demand the Secret Service install them on their guns first, as an example to the public. Perhaps Obama would begin to understand then.
“Mr bambi man said my daddy had to cut off his weewee and then they, and then they...”
Shouldn’t “childproofing” a gun BE THE PARENTS’ JOB? I just can’t deal with this Nanny State crap!
Agree 100%. If it truly works, then any supporter of gun bans should not have a problem telling their SS support to keep their guns at home.
If they can’t, that speaks volumes about the effectiveness of these foolish laws.
Remember Elders and her “safer bullets” crap.

What the Hell is that supposed to mean?
It means take them away from mom and dad.
Oh brother!
There’s no way my kids could ever figure out how to load a belt fed weapon.
Anyone who trusts these liberal bastards is an idiot.
Look to this horrible state of Massachusetts for the answer to this question. There are only a small number of handguns we are allowed to purchase here because, in addition to the still-active carryover of the Clinton “assault weapons ban”, there is an additional list of criteria from the Attorney General that dictates all these “safety features” that guns must have, for “consumer protection”.
Many manufacturers don’t even bother with the hassle of trying to get their guns approved for sale here, which I’m sure is the whole point of it all.
You can’t buy new Glocks, Springfields, Kimbers, and many many other perfectly good handguns here.
