With just over two years left in the administration of President Barack Obama, and with his promise, some might view it as a threat, to use the powers of his office to make changes he believes are best to move the country towards the vision he and his supporters have for the future of America (that fundamental transformation he told us about), protecting Americans’ right to bear arms will be even more important as the Obama Presidency winds down.
The president has made no secret of his interest in enacting more stringent gun control across the board in America. While he smiles and tries to cloak his goals in the guise of a “reasonable approach to gun control”, he quietly and behind the scenes schemes with his Attorney General Eric Holder to use whatever tactics they can to achieve as much as they can, with little regard for what the majority of the American people want.
The United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, regulating the international trade in conventional arms, from small arms to battle tanks, combat aircraft and warships, will enter into force on December 24th of this year. The Obama Administration has fully supported this treaty. While it violates the Second Amendment of U.S. Constitution and likely won’t be ratified by the Senate and enacted into law in this country, it serves as a symbolic victory for the anti-gun politicians in Washington, D.C.
California Democrat Senator Diane Feinstein continues her efforts to outlaw private ownership of guns, whole-heartedly supported by the Obama Administration. Diverted only temporarily by her attack on the CIA and her release of information about the CIA’s enhanced Interrogation program, Feinstein is sure to come back to her gun control efforts, which will be the crowning jewel in her Senate career should she retire after this term in office.
Considering the challenges faced by America, with Islamic terrorists from ISIS threatening to bring their campaign of Jihad butchery to American shores, the most recent cyber-attack orchestrated by North Korea which revealed our nation’s vulnerability to attacks against our critical infrastructure, an increasingly bellicose Vladimir Putin and communist Chinese threats of expansion, not to mention the regular threats made by the Iranian mullahs, now certainly isn’t the time to disarm the American citizenry.
Yet the Obama Administration and their allies among the Democrats in the House and the Senate continue to argue for strict gun control, and take whatever steps they can to continue moving in that direction. With the UN treaty in effect will some sort of Obama ‘executive action’ be in the future ?
Advocating for enforcing the existing regulations and arguing against the need for additional laws, gun advocacy groups wage an uphill battle against a biased news media, that seems to relish using any acts of gun violence that happen around the country as a bludgeon to beat the NRA and other groups over the head, and to beat the drum once again for stricter gun laws. Stricter laws by the way that will have little if any effect on the random acts of gun violence perpetrated by people who care nothing about the laws currently on the books.
But that doesn’t stop the Obama bandwagon from rolling along with their gun control agenda, ignoring the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment. More importantly ignoring the threats we face as a nation. Which is why we will need a well regulated citizen militia to help protect this nation in dangerous times, and from a weak and dangerous president determined to leave strict gun control as one of the foundations of his legacy.
The U.N. needs to be renamed what it is: The dictators club. Disarming peacable people that only want justice and freedom. Never going after armed thugs or arming them(ISIS). This all spelled out in the that ATT. THis is so they can implement Agenda 21 on this country and all the rest of the world.
“If facts mattered to these people, they’d be conservatives”
I think that could be post of the day, every day.
Don’t count on the GOP to stop Obama from transforming America.
It is a lot more than symbolic. There will be legal consequences upon signature.
Expect the GOP to fully fund Obama’s anti-gun initiatives as it has fully funded the rest of his wish list.
He has balls; they don’t. Boner and McConman are not his equals.
Everyone who cares should have guns not bought privately and without receipts.
I hope a shark eats his azz while they r in Hawaii.
“That is the creepiest photo of obozo I have seen yet.”
Obama is merely demonstrating his strategy to replace guns as a means of self defense with Jiu Jitsu.
ditto!
This may backfire on the government. Gun control will be the ultimate showdown between the government and the governed. If they violate the constitution’s second amendment, there is no government, there are no laws, the compact is voided.
Gun control is going nowhere at the federal level. It appears thst they realize this and wish to now wage their jihad at the state level. We can play that game just as they can though. Look at Ohio for example.
Ding! Ding!! Ding!!! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
The number of gun shops appears to be diminishing, especially those with gunsmiths. And we are still in, what, year 5?, of the domestic ammo shortage. Still can't buy a brick of .22 LR at the local outdoor shops and WalMart.
I’m glad you use the word “monster”. I think too many do not fully understand just how depraved Holder is.
I just stole this and am using it as my new tagline.
As I’ve reflected before I, along with several other machine shops in the area, were victims of Obama’s “under the radar” schemes. The ATF sent little goons in to our shops to ask if we would finish or make AR15 lowers. “Sorry, can’t help you, that’s illegal.”
A week or two later a few agents came in to the office and stated, “We heard you make guns here, we’d like to take a look around.” I told them as un-politely as possible to get out of my office and if they don’t leave immediately I will have them charged with trespassing. If they return without a warrant I will have the local Sheriff remove them from the property and charged with harassment. They never returned.
The other shops all told me they welcomed those guys in to their shops to prove they were not making guns. HELL NO. We are innocent until proven guilty and when you let those federal government goons walk all over you they will never stop.
I’d rather think about the coming end of Obama’s rein of tyranny.
Clean up the new tagline.
First, Ozero needs to lead by example. Disarm his Secret Service and FBI. Feinstein needs to surrender her gun and armed bodyguards. That’ll show they’re serious.
