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," Obama said 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."

Are you proposing that we surround the cities and not let the riff raft out? Fly over vs. Urban hell holes?
Why didn’t you post a direct link (and an excerpt) Why are you trying to drive us to Drudge?
>>He also said he has been told to expect the economic collapse first and then the feds will start going after the guns.<<
Not a wise thing. Americans have/are purchasing millions of rounds of ammo and the hardware to go with it.
God forbid we have another civil war in this country, but confiscation would almost certainly spark that powder keg.
At the present, Americans still have allot to lose. That variable changes when folks see their freedom disappear.

I’m sure that our Grand Mufti in the White Hut can arrange it, and I’ll be surprised if he hasn’t already done so.
We will need landing craft to make it to Hawaii to make those responsible pay when they retreat from the destruction they have brought on.
No Galt’s Gulch for the Guilty.
“So they campaigned endlessly here against Romney”
As that great 21st century prophet, Jeremiah WRIIIIGHT, so eloquently stated “The CHICKENS have come HOME to ROOOOOOOOST!!!!!!”
The last time Obama put forth a package with his full weight behind it, he was wooing Reggie Love.
First it will be the 2nd amendment gone ...then the first...then the whole constitution gone ....unles the people stand up to the goverment
Who's going to shuttle the kids to and from soccer, or hockey or football practice? Who's willing to give up the overtime at work?
More importantly, who's going to fire the first shot? Better yet, who's going to come to his rescue?
We all saw how much fire support Randy Weaver received from HIS comrades in arms didn't we?
***** “Mere “laws” requiring turn ins will be laughed at.” ****
I have selectively been ignoring “laws” since I was a child and have paid the price at times and I am not in the least bit ashamed or embarrassed to admit it.
I was born an American and will die the same, my 28 years in Uniform speaks to my sincerity.

“No more braves. Just bloggers. And when they will decide to take the guns, they will!!!”
A lot of people will hide their guns in anticipation of the gun grabbers. There are more than 300 million guns in private hands, and the police will only get a small recent percentage of them. This would take an awful lot of manpower, metal detectors and search warrants. You might think that there will be a lot of Lefty informants willing to work as snitches, but that game can work both ways and claims of gun ownership can be made of the Leftists as well. It is precisely because of Katrina and the talk today of gun confiscation that gun owners are making preparations. The gun owners in the aftermath of Katrina never expected gun confiscation. Now, we do.
A lot of people are going to be drilling way down below their basement floors or below decorative ponds to store their weapons caches. If the police and Feds really make an effort at confiscation, then, we will REALLY need our guns.
There’s lots of woods, high trees, and cover in rural Michigan. Leave me alone, and we won’t have a problem. Those that do a Wilson Blair impersonation will get a Henry Bowman one in response.
This is what happens when you don’t prevent or challenge voter fraud.

If you have to hide them it is past time to use them

The second amendment is our guarantee of freedom and
the control of our government. But it is not that
alone, it constituted the alarm system devised by
our founders to tell us when our freedoms are under
attack.
There will be resistance...
What’s a few hundred million resisters.
Not everyone has a mortgage. Not everyone has payments on consumer stuff. Some of us have grown kids that are gone. Some of us don't punch a clock for a living, and don't draw a check from Uncle.

Well look, we had an assault weapons ban before and there was no resistance. Gun control used to be a big issue and the infringement on our second amendment rights used to be far worse, yet no resistance. The only way I can see people standing up against it is if something draconian is passed, but that is highly unlikely. Gun restrictions are much more likely to be camels nose under the tent things. They will go back to chipping away at them, but it won’t happen all at once.
