PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, I think, for example, how we are gathering data, for example, on guns that fall into the hands of criminals and how we track that more effectively -- there may be some steps that we can take administratively, as opposed -- through legislation.
As far as people lining up and purchasing more guns, you know, I think that we’ve seen for some time now that those who oppose any common-sense gun control or gun safety measures have a pretty effective way of ginning up fear on the part of gun owners that somehow the federal government’s about to take all your guns away. And you know, that -- there’s probably an economic element to that. It obviously is good for business.
But I think that, you know, those of us who look at this problem have repeatedly said that responsible gun owners, people who have a gun for protection, for hunting, for sportsmanship -- they don’t have anything to worry about. The issue here is not whether or not we believe in the Second Amendment.
The issue is, are there some sensible steps that we can take to make sure that somebody like the individual in Newtown can’t walk into a school and gun down a bunch of children in a -- in a shockingly rapid fashion? And surely we can do something about that.

The only fear being “ginned up” here is amongst Democrats who plan to stand for re-election in 2014...
See what he did there? I saw.
“those who oppose any common-sense gun control or gun safety measures have a pretty effective way of ginning up fear on the part of gun owners that somehow the federal government’s about to take all your guns away.”
In other words, we are only planning to take some of your guns away, you know just a few this month, then a few more next month and a few more the next month and on and on, till eventually we have taken them all away. But don’t worry, it isn’t that we are about to take them all away immediately.
Never forget, that is what this is all about, removing effective weapons from the hands of citizens.
If these weapons are good enough for law enforcement, they are absolutely good enough for civilians. In no way should law enforcement agencies have “superior firepower” over law abiding civilians, and although it's already a fact that they do, that fact should be reversed, IMO. Criminals will always have access to weapons that equal or surpass those in the hands of our government, and to deny the same for our civilians is Unconstitutional, IMO.
Since the courts will likely rule against us, we either prepare for our role as slaves to the government or prepare to exercise our second amendment rights, RIGHT NOW, to put an end to this slow boiling that our so-called representatives are putting us through.
Yep
Do you reckon Obama might be moving in the direction of a “Final Solution” for all us “Bitter Clingers”?
When government agents can no longer burst into my home and gun down my family in a shockingly rapid fashion, only then will I consider any limitations or restrictions.

Guess what O’a$$hole, you aren't going to take ANY of mine!!
No, Obama and his commie buddies are ginning up the fear. The gun industry is just profiting from the fear Obama has created.
How dare you accuse me of taking your guns as I am preparing to take your guns! What a Mary.

Mr. President, if responsible gun owners do not have anything to worry about then tell me sir, why are we to be punished for cowardly acts of a few? So disingenuous....
By the way, for the record, I have no firearms.
Can’t afford them now.
We won’t take ALL of your guns. Just the ones that equalize you against us.....
That’s what he really means.
Which is silly, of course. 0bama's merry little band only wants to take away half, register the rest for future confiscation, and tax ammunition into oblivion. But take away all the guns? Not at all, little man, now just go back to sleep.
You can always tell when they're lying when they start parsing this stuff so carefully. Or when they're moving their lips. Same thing.
