The Obama administration is determined to tighten gun regulations and background checks, and to add hundreds or thousands of veterans to a list that will prevent them from buying guns for sport, personal protection, or simply for pleasure because “guns are dangerous and can fall into the hands of criminals and terrorists.” At least that is the purported aim. Many of these people will lose their Constitutional right to own a firearm without any due process. And the real secret is the long term objective, which is to confiscate all guns from law abiding citizens, whether that takes months or years.
The irony is that while the Obama administration has been working overtime to take guns away from any number of Americans (and we are talking tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands), the Justice Department, under the direction of Attorney Eric Holder, launched a program called Fast and Furious early in Obama’s first term that placed thousands of guns in the hands of criminals, including exceedingly violent gang members, with the purported purpose of “tracking” them to Mexican drug lords, thus allowing Mexican and U.S. police to arrest and incarcerate these criminals. The end result, however, was that the Justice Department lost track of virtually all of the weapons, with a few notable exceptions.
So while Obama is doing everything possible to take guns away from law-abiding citizens, he was handing hundreds of high-powered weapons to criminals and other bad guys.
How does that make sense?
See where Fast and Furious weapons ended up, page 2:
That sucks
Partisan? REALLY? that’s the gullible thinking Obama ,Clintons or Bush are any different.
Sherry Edwards they are not assault rifles$#%&!@* You libs can’t understand I guess. Assault rifles are banned. An AR does not stand for assault rifle like the media tells you.
If you paid your federal taxes, this is what you bought
Where’s lee Harvey Oswald when you need him
Told you
Sherry Edwards assault weapons as well as automatic weapon are already illegal and have been for quite some time. I dont know why people keep trying to say that they’re legal and easy to get . Of course people with mental illness should not be allowed to have guns or criminals as well . Isnt it all ready illegal for felons to own firearms. I dont know of any where that any can just walk right in and buy a weapon like that . We have plenty of laws on the books right now that just need to be enforced. How do you explain Chicago gun violence highest in the nation with strictest laws. What about Sweden where you are required to own a gun and the lack of crime. We all would like to believe that goverment is just looking out for us but the reality os both parties do not care about us. They just keep us fighting amongst ourselves . The problem isnt guns its the breakdown of the moral fabric of our kids being brought up
Curt A Labotz. Great deflection. Obama should get away with his crimes because a now dead President supposedly sold missiles that killed no one. Im sure you also make excuses for Hillary’s crimes too.
Holder and Obama should be in jail for this.
Sherry Edwards the law defines the “militia” into three parts, one being every able bodied, of age American. What was that you were saying about not “believing in everything you hear and see without research first?”…
