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:
Not to mention, France has gun control you could only dream of, AND this guy killed PLENTY of people with the truck, so…. Why again is gun control even relevant pertaining to this? This is a horrible example to grand stand for gun control. It OBVIOUSLY didn’t work, did it? And the culmination?… What ultimately stopped him? HE WAS SHOT TO DEATH! By good people with guns.

i have been wainting for them to surface overseas.

David Stlouis he was shot to death by police – who SHOULD have guns. There are loopholes all over the gun laws – examples of people buying them without appropriate background checks, gun resellers who give away or sell guns like items on a garage sale. Where are the background checks then? Our laws are ridiculously lenient and nit enforced. I’d probably be ok with them if they were enforced, if there were longer waiting periods, and mental health checks were allowed, and if reselling were illegal. And you will always be able to find examples supporting your cause – as will I. So common sense and caution should prevail!
And the comment above was about “forming” a militia – in common language forming a military unit for the purpose of fighting, which I don’t believe would be allowed in this day and age. The police and National Guard would shut that down quickly. Guys, we don’t live in the land of Cowboys and Indians anymore. You don’t have to defend your homestead against the Indians and you don’t have to go out and kill your own food anymore. Duels are illegal. I will never understand. Our gun violence is one of the worst in the world – yet gun owners don’t care and just say “more guns!”
Grady Minyard semi-automatics are not illegal and can shoot way more people in one minute than any normal, well-intentioned person would ever need to shoot!
Wake up America!!! The problem is right in front of your eyes!!!
