http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs.../why-obama-is-losing-on-anti-gun-legislation/ They forgot the biggest reason...Real Americans know gun control is simply the lefts efforts at citizen control coupled with stupid and scary moves by DHS like buying billions of rounds of ammo and finally, the activities of grabbers in state government driven by the dems in those states. When the dems say 'no one is planning to take anyone's guns' we watch the dems in the states trying to do exactly that. Then there is the hypocrisy of the language...who in their right mind pays any attention to grabbers who are themselves armed or have security on the taxpayer dime?
It's a trend.Just do what Obama's Czars in our White House demand. Like ObamaCare.Make the case that Americans want it.That was only partly true in the final couple weeks according to just a few Polls. Like Marist and Mason-Dixon.The vast public was firmly opposed to any universal Healthcare for all. Same with this bogus tripe Obama and Biden and Jayney Carney are spewing.That a majotiy of Americans { 90%} WANT stricter gun laws. I don't buy that for a minute.Depends on who's asked and what the question is. Like the BOGUS number { 40 % }.Obama keeps citing the number 40%. 40% of guns are illegally purchased with no background check. Yeah if one wants to hold stock in a 1997-98 poll of under 300 people polled using a survey from 1994. Now we're back to Veiled threats.Like what James Clyburn and Steny Hoyer pulled back in the week of ObamaCare passage. The Democrat congresswoman { N.Y. rep. Carolyn Maloney }behind the [ Firearm Risk Protection act ] ,a bill that would require gun owners to get liability insurance or face up to a $10,ooo fine say's she's now receiving death threats. It never stops with these Liberal Democrat scum. Just pure Unamerican con artists.
IMO the real problem is it doesnt stop with Guns. People say all we are trying to do is control the guns. But what comes next after that? We will lose our rights 1 thing at a time if we allow them to.
Government never backs up. They take one thing away and move on to the next. You see the beginnings of an assault on the First Amendment in "hate speech."
Note it is always the same political philosophy that is going after those rights and protections, the left.
Gun Control is NOT about making people safe, or even controlling who has guns. Gun Control is about suppressing decent among common, middle class Americans who are unhappy with the abuse their being subjected to by our increasingly Authoritarian and Ethnic Fascist Government. Gun Control will never stop criminals from having guns. A lack of guns will never stop someone bent on mayhem from killing people. Gun Control will cause law abiding and non-radicalized citizens from any possibility of expressing descent against Authoritarian Government Abuse of common citizens. In Short, Gun Control is about domination of the American Citizenry. -
The other problem i see with this is we are wasting time and money on this. We already have Gun control. Its called responsible american's have the right to own a gun.
