Realizing that a shooting war with American citizens would not bode well for an Obama legacy which will already require a blanket guarantee of willful amnesia on the part of historians, the president’s handlers on Wednesday decided it best to propose an Executive ban on gun owners rather than on the guns they own.
If fact, nowhere in the list of 23 executive actions recommended by Obama will the American public find the words, “these weapons will be banned” or “confiscation will begin on…” The president wisely left the heavy lifting of “assault weapons” bans and other unconstitutional offensives on the 2nd Amendment to congress, placing lawmakers in a rock-and-a-hard-spot position for which any existing red state Democrats are no doubt less than grateful. (1)
But the scheme Obama did choose is far more insidious than any direct attack on the weapons of choice of American gun owners. For the president is seeking to disqualify by federal fiat the 2nd Amendment rights of gun owners themselves. How will it be accomplished? It’s all about the massive expansion of shared state and federal background check information currently unavailable to bureaucracies so as to protect the privacy—and liberty– of the American public.
First on Obama’s list is his promise to “issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system.” In fact five of the 23 executive actions the president claims will “reduce gun violence” involve a new federal reliance on the sharing of information gleaned from background checks. Three others actions feature an emphasis on information concerning mental health. And twice Obama links the safety of the public to ObamaCare and the necessity that doctors question patients about gun ownership. (2)
In short, the left is seeking to turn gun ownership into an issue of public health. “A lot of people buy guns every year, and it’s a health concern,” claims a University of Pennsylvania social policy professor. “Doctors ask patients about illegal drug use, disease history and sexual habits, So, Why not guns?” (2)
Why not guns? Suppose your father, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, moves into your home. As 8 of Obama’s executive action pledges on gun control involve medical or mental health, the new bureaucracy of shared patient information will inform the Center for Disease Control of this move. A letter will then be sent to your attention from the CDC, the ATF or the DOJ demanding your home immediately be cleared of the weapons known to exist there thanks to an ObamaCare initiated, doctor-patient interview in which you participated 2 years earlier! After all, an Alzheimer patient poses a particular danger where guns are readily available! (2)
If this sounds far-fetched, you don’t know the contempt in which the Regime holds the gun owning public.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, Obama is indeed coming for the guns of the American people. But rather than decide which guns we’ll not be permitted to own, the left will simply tell us that we’re not allowed to own ANY!
Americans have spent years preparing for a shootout with would-be tyrants. Well, we’ll certainly have it. Just a bit later, perhaps, than originally expected.

I’m being forced by their actions, arrogance, and outright lawlessness to believe that the usurpers, tyrants, and thrashers of our Constitution won’t get it until we show them in no uncertain terms what the Founders had in mind when they crafted the 2nd Amendment.
“When Injustice becomes Law, Resistance becomes Duty” – Thomas Jefferson
We no longer have the model of government that the Founders established. The communist globalists that have taken over our government ignore the Constitution’s limits on what government can do. 95% or more of the federal bureaucracy and its “regulations” are unconstitutional. Most of the federal laws are unconstitutional. The problem is that the traitors have infiltrated all 3 branches, executive, legislative, and judicial.
Take the pledge:

WE NEED THIS LIEING WORTHLESS LOWLIFE GOVERMENT OUT OF OUR LIVES COMPLETLY.
THEY ARE THE ONE RUINING THIS COUNTRY FOR SURE.

This Obama guy is really an enemy of the American people. How dare he ban a gun because of what it looks like on the outside, or the size of its magazine. I don’t relish the fact that when this law takes effect, alot of people will be instant felons, regardless that when they bought those guns, they were legal. There is nothing worse than a bad law that hurts law-abiding people. The liberal politicins have hung a political definition on a mechanical device. Anybody who knows anything about these guns knows that an assault rifle – a real assault rifle – has a selective fire capability. It can fire full auto with the turn of a lever. That’s it. If it can’t do that, it’s not an assault rifle. These bums are banning civilianized versions of military rifles due to a knee-jerk reaction to atrocities carried out by lunatics who NEVER should’ve been able to get any kind of weapon, but, thanks to liberal politicians, a “thing” was targeted by another bad law, rather than unsuitable people – as usual. There are 20,000 gun control laws on the books. They passed this one because the other 20,000 didn’t work – most of them, anyway. These bad laws only prevent law-abiding people from buying these guns. Criminals don’t obey laws; thay will always get guns no matter how many laws are passed.
Whether this way, that way, or another way, it will come down to enforcement. Stock up now, and support your local sheriff!
When they try to take the guns, give them what comes out of the end of the barrel first. Maybe they’ll get the point then.

Read about this section in Obamacare that forbids doctors from asking patients about guns.
This portrait of gun legislation is the brush-strokes of a coward. It speaks to how few they are for they don’t have the resources for a confrontation. Like I say, pass all the laws you want, but when you go to a particular place to enforce them, there might be an overwhelming crowd waiting there chanting, “take a hike a-hole.” With all the phone apps “guns without sirens” could be the best. The 2nd shouldn’t even be in the discussion…Semper Fi
Try to separate me from my firearms in any way shape or form. I DARE YOU!!
I must look for my pants from the Bush War, I may need them again soon. Rhodesia, does anyone remember? End Apartied in South Africa, they said we would be next when it was going down there. I was still young enough to be Cheng then, I’m too old to do anything but die at 70 with CHF now. They used to plant landmines in the dust roads for the school busses to run over in the morning to kill the white children. Killing children is nothing new. I guess about 1975 was when that began. Any Selous Scouts still with us?
