Obama hopes to enact new gun-control measures in 2013
The Hill ^ | 12/30/2012 | Meghashyam Mali

Posted on 12/30/2012 7:50:26 AM PST by Obadiah

President Obama on Sunday said he would make gun control a priority in his new term, pledging to put his “full weight” behind passing new restrictions on firearms in 2013.

“I'm going to be putting forward a package and I'm going to be putting my full weight behind it,” said Obama in an interview aired on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I'm going to be making an argument to the American people about why this is important and why we have to do everything we can to make sure that something like what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary does not happen again.”

Now is time to draw a line in the sand, and ask yourself if you are ready and willing to fight against a tyrannical government that has taken so much from us already. We can't let them take away more of our right to bear arms when it was a right given to be used in war to overthrow a tyrannical government, and no one mentions that they are the people that it meant to defend against. If we let them do that it will be shameful. We need to be willing to regain our liberty or die trying in what has so many variables we cant know the odds.

Those liberals forcing this on us know what they doing and have blood on their hands by giving people the choice to live in shame or act. Those starting it hopefully see it.

“pledging to put his “full weight” behind passing new restrictions on firearms”

He’s a featherweight who’s bribed the judges. Is this the same “full weight” he applied to Piece in the Middle East, Demoncracy in the Muslim world, and evading the Fiscal Cliff? Oh, but there was his Health Care Deform bill, enacted back when his party still controlled both houses of Congress, and still not implemented (lucky for him). Missing piece to the puzzle, anyone?

Couldn’ agree with you more, Artcore. Hey, out there...you who didn't vote for Romney for one stupid reason or another, you MUST take big time responsibility for gettting us into the position we are now in.....you allowed this big, vile piece of evil known as obozo and socialism to win, and now they are going full tilt to destroy you and me and this country....ready to shed some blood? You'd better be, because this will be a replay of that which our ForeFathers fought, so that we may have a Constitution, freedom and liberty.....be prepared.

I repeat that we must delay, resist, obstruct, do whatever we freedom fighters can do to thwart obozo’s every move. Get together with other like minded folks and devise methods to do just that. Make this your number one priority. Time is of the essence. This vile piece of evil, obozo, must be stopped.

WOW, just WOW.

Why, yes, the current GOPe ‘leadership’ has done such a swell job of articulating the reasons to keep the tax rates low, de-funded as many extra/Unconstitutional laws/regulations/departments/czars/etc., and overall defended and upheld, what is currently a dusty floor-mat, in everything they do.

Wait...no they haven’t. But us 3rd party/principled voters should be the 1st to the gas chambers or chided for sticking to their principles?!

Sorry, we’re not the ones who sold you out. In fact, it’s been the R. Paul ‘kooks’ who’ve been warning YOU about Federal usurpation, while being cast in the wild as ‘fringe’.

So, go blow it our your posterior; wondering why you got fleas after lying with the dogs. Continue to ‘fight from the inside’ of the same party that stabs you in the back. That’s the special kind of stupid that got us where we’re at currently. The insanity of ‘holding your nose’ and expecting different results.

Why, yes, just a few for GOPe in the Senate and McConnell would really turn out to be a leader; as much as Boehner is in the House.

Mix in some liberal NE Mitt and the rose colored glasses could be taken off for good.

A slaughter is coming in one form or another.

There is a significant amount of citizens who wouldn't mind unleashing lethal force of the state onto their fellow citizens in an effort to neutralize their presence in the new Obama America.

It has crept up on us, folks. Do not be surprised what the futrue brings.

WRONG, my friend. WE did not and do not have time to find the “perfect candidate”. Romney would not be attempting to ban guns, gut our country of its jobs, its coal industry, its mining industry, the oil industry, etc. Romney would not have cut into the small business man's ability to hire more employees, grow his business and prosper under capitalism, Romney would not have created class warfare, would not have made an issue of business people who make more than $200,000. or whatever figure the left is using, and in the process cut the ability of these business owners to grow their business, hire more employees, prosper and help this country grow as it should. Look at all the stores that have closed, at all the mom and pop businesses that have closed, at all the companies that have closed, at all the people who have lost jobs and can't find another, because the bast*ard in the White House is following the socialist/communist rules of the road to destroy this country one piece at a time, by destroying all of the above. YOU PEOPLE who DID NOT vote for Romney, because you were daydreaming and WISHING for the perfect conservative candidate, YOU ARE LARGELY responsible for the position this country is in. Damn you all for standing on stupid principles at a time we had no choice but to vote for a candidate who had the greatest chance of winning, and that was Romney, and not some pie in the sky “whatever” that you voted for instead, or NOT, by not voting at all.

YOU ARE traitors to this country as surely as Justice Robertson of the Supreme Court who voted FOR obomacare. YOU are traitors as surely as those socialists who voted for obozo, as those ignorant, gime-gime people voters out there who have their hands out for free stuff, in exchange for their vote, as those illegal aliens are who broke our laws, with obozo’s blessing, broke down our borders, kill our citizens, flood our social/health systems to the point of bankruptcy, flaunt our laws and contribute in great numbers to the lawlessness of this country, at the expense of the hard-working citizens in this country who DO pay taxes, follow the law.

YOU WILL pay for what you have done...what goes around, comes around, my friend. YOU WILL/HAVE caused suffering to many people in this country by your action OR lack of action. Live with that, and know you will pay for what you have done. Live with THAT. And then stand up and fight for a second chance to redeem your thinking and understand dire situations and how they must be handled. Join with the rest of us to delay, obstruct, destroy obozo’s every attempt to completely destroy this country. obozo will use every means to do so, and so shall We the People. Are you with us THIS TIME?

Where are those that here campaigned daily against Romney?

I'm right here.

Romney signed the gun ban in Mass. What makes you think he wouldn't be pushing for a gun ban now, were he president? And the GOP would be less likely to fight Romney than Obama.

So, no, I'm still glad I didn't vote for the GOP liberal.

I didn’t say that I think you should go to the gas chambers. Not one word, did I say anything about gas chambers.

I did say that I would report those, who voted for alternate candidates or didn’t vote, so they can report to the FEMA camps, but I wasn’t wishing harm upon anybody.

You see, I think those who chose to vote for, other than, believed that Obama really wasn’t out to harm America and would actually benefit America. Those FEMA camps? Luxury resorts.

I can only think this is true, because no rational person would actually throw a snit, that might result in a dictator arising and cause the potential deaths that communist dictators tend to like inflicting upon the population, and throw away their vote.

I only want those that did this to experience the fullness of their expectations when they allowed an unaccountable Obama and the Democrats to gain power. So, you see, I only want the best for you, just as you wanted and acted for yourself, my friend.

Horsecrap. Romney signed the 'assault weapon' ban when he was governor. He has spoken clearly about more restrictions on firearms.

Trying to blame individuals because your liberal lost is just silly. The GOP screwed up when it nominated a liberal. Again.

Blame them.

Funny how Diane Frankenstein had her Assault Weapons Ban already done in her top drawer ready to roll...almost like they were waiting for a crisis not to go to waste...

In her Dec 17 press release she even admitted as much:

“I have been working with my staff for over a year on this legislation,”

I’m thinking it will be more of a Revolutionary War II against the government officials and MSM.
