Obama Says Gun Owners Need Not Worry….Stop Buying Those Guns You Bitter Gun Clingers!

Loading

Obama up to his tricks once again. Here he is responding to the fact that gun sells have risen 49% since he was elected:

“I believe in common-sense gun safety laws, and I believe in the second amendment,” Obama said at a news conference. “Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear. I said that throughout the campaign. I haven’t indicated anything different during the transition. I think people can take me at my word.”

Oh really?

It’s one thing to say you support the 2nd Amendment, but your actions over the years show us something different all together:

But National Rifle Association spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said it’s not Obama’s words — but his legislative track record — that has gun-buyers flocking to the stores.

“Prior to his campaign for president, his record as a state legislator and as a U.S. Senator shows he voted for the most stringent forms of gun control, the most Draconian legislation, gun bans, ammunition bans and even an increase in federal excise taxes up to 500 percent for every gun and firearm sold,” Arulanandam said.

Lets not forget how he answered the same kind of question in 1996:

“Do you support state legislation to … ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns?” asked one of the three dozen questions.

“Yes,” was Obama’s entire answer.

Here he is back in September saying that he doesn’t want to take guns but if he did flip-flop (Obama never flip-flops right?) he couldn’t do it anyways:

A woman in the crowd [in Duryea, PA] told Obama she had “heard a rumor” that he might be planning some sort of gun ban upon being elected president. Obama trotted out his standard policy stance, that he had a deep respect for the “traditions of gun ownership” but favored measures in big cities to keep guns out of the hands of “gang bangers and drug dealers’’ in big cities “who already have them and are shooting people.”

“If you’ve got a gun in your house, I’m not taking it,’’ Obama said. But the Illinois senator could still see skeptics in the crowd, particularly on the faces of several men at the back of the room.

So he tried again. “Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ he said. “This can’t be the reason not to vote for me. Can everyone hear me in the back? I see a couple of sportsmen back there. I’m not going to take away your guns.’’

Classic Obama.

How can we forget this from his lips:

Obama said he believes in the Second Amendment, but that there is plenty of room for added gun regulations. “There is an individual right to bear arms, but it’s subject to commonsense regulation,” he said.

Some more facts on Obama and guns from the NRA:

He’s so FOS it’s not even funny…

He probably even believes himself! Hope and Change…

barack obama supports a ban on free speech and being an american. the bastard.

Why are we even discussing what Obama say or do? His words and actions are meaningless, worthless. This guy is an idiot, a flip-flopper, a liar, a manipulator, a cheater, a crook and a fraud. Let’s not waste our precious time on his stupidities. And why is he everywhere right now? He is just a plain citizen, not elected yet and no more a Senator. He should be low profile now; Georges W. Bush is still the President as I know. Boy this guy’s ego is huge; no sound would please me more than the burst of his ego.

I pity America if this guy makes it to the White House, you people do not merit to be govern by such a despicable guy.

Just how stupid does he think we are?

He has history, he has stated his plans on his own platform website.

And we are supposed to believe otherwise?

Please.

Yeah, thanks for that reassurance. What is your NRA rating BTW? I’m definitely buying more guns now.
Anyone seen the price of arug, er, uh AK-47 magazines lately?

I ain’t skeert, but my cattle is. So I just picked up a LaRue Stealth upper and lower to build into a thermal sighted sub minute of angle 77gr. coyote killing machine. May my new born calves rest in peace this coming spring.

I am sure obama has a non lethal changier hopeful plan that doesn’t involve ballistics for preserving pedigree breeding stock. One better than sleeping out in a tree stand for several weekends over the winter with a rifle, rangefinder, kind, and an ipod.

This guy’s words cannot be trusted on anything.

Note he said he believes in “common sense gun laws” ? That’s just a coded way of saying he plans to restrict our 2nd Amendment right as much as he can get away with. Those are the same words Sara Brady said, it’s what the VPC said, Schumer, Feinstein, etc. All of those people have made that claim, then done everything they can to completely ban all firearms or make them virtually impossible to obtain/use.

He is lying. Go out and stock up on guns and ammo while you can.

“He is lying. Go out and stock up on guns and ammo while you can.” (Hard Right)

Or move out of your country while you still can. But where to go? America is the last country of real freedom where everything is possible. If Republicans could be real Republicans instead of being Rinos, centrists, moderates or good guys, you wouldn’t be in that mess because you would have won this election. But Republicans are afraid of the word RIGHT and their right values. Tough luck!

At this time of economic meltdown (democrat induced economic meltdown) it is your patriotic duty to stimulate the economy by buying up as much guns and ammo as you can afford. We’re gonna need them when the liberal fascist jackboot comes stomping down.

Barry lies — about nearly everything.

Lies, lies and more lies. Everytime this guy opens his mouth he lies.

Obama inaugurated 1/20/09? No way. No how. Read this: http://www.newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin186.htm

Ted:

That article is down right laughable!!!
He will be inaugurated he did win the election get over it and quit pouting righties.
sore losers is exactly what you are looking like…

btw i have guns too.. and i am a democrat!!! surprise surprise…
Buying up guns is stupid and just driving up prices.

Why are gunners SO paranoid? Could it be they KNOW they’re on borrowed time?

Aside from signing legislation – that could be overturned in court – what power – exactly – does the president have to repeal the 2nd Amendment? And since when does regulations = banning? To hear you guys, you act as if the 2nd Amendment is absolute – when not even the FIRST amendment is not without restrictions. And – of course, when pressed, your own logic fails – can I keep a bazooka under my bed? How about a Horwitzer in my backyard? Does ANYONE feel the framers would ever consider small semi-automatic handguns as freely available to anyone who wnated to strap one on – without ANY regulations? Even in crowded cities?

I don’t think so…

Take Hussein at his word? Nope. No comment. When they’re this easy, all the fun is taken out of it.

Not buying guns before they are banned is stupid. It’s clear he is anything but pro-gun. I don’t expect a deranged kool-aid drinker like you to understand that.

Warview, paranoid? You mean we shouldn’t worry at all after 5 or 6 decades of the erosion of the 2nd and 3-4 decades of a blatant attempt to do away with it?
Being familliar with the SCOTUS ruling, it wasn’t a decision that protected all firearms or prevented other schemes–like taxing ammo until it’s too expensive to buy. I’m not surprised you trot out the bazooka straw man. Your kind has done that for years. FYI, we are talking firearms not destructive devices. You come across as being completely ignorant and hysterical on the issue. Quit while you’re behind.

To Hard Right:

Please be careful and follow the instructions carefully. I wouldn’t want you blowing off the few remaining toes you have.

And yes I’m very pro-gun..being from the South and raised on hunting..but hey I’m sure you and your twisted logic will turn that around.

You’re always good for a laugh.

Kind Regards

Ron

Need your diapper changed Ron? Tell you what, you stop pretending to be a pro-military/American “patriot” and I’ll be nicer to you.

BTW, I probably know more about guns than you ever will.

To Hard Right:

Please show me where I ever pretended to be a Pro-Millitary/American “Patriot”….whatever that’s supposed to mean. The key word is pretend here Hard Right.

I am a moderate and I’ve never pretended otherwise. You see most people actually ask questions in order to gain information. You just make false assertions or make things up. You want to know my beliefs/opinions…try asking me. That way you won’t sound so uninformed and unintelligent.

And I’m sure you do know a lot more about guns than me. After all what else is there for you to do other than read Guns & Ammo magazine and post inane comments on this site. You’re probably polishing one of your numerous weapons as we speak….just please put your cloths back on.
Kind regards
Ron

To Hard Right:

By the way…..Where is your cabin located?

Ron

Oh, so you admit I was right when I pointed out you were bashing our military and accusing them of weadspread torture. Then why so upset? This is my last response to you so we don’t derail this thread further.

Hard Right:

you are really good for a laugh. You assume so much it’s outrageous!

First of all I am a gun owner and i have a pistol conceal and carry permit.
I am ashamed to admit I am a member of the NRA but it is required at my gun club for insurance purposes. I do not vote republican just because I am a gun owner. (as some I know do)

I will state again this action of just wildly buying up guns because of fear of regulation is doing nothing more than drive up prices. frankly it is stupid.

To Hard Right:

You are so precious with you false assertions and made up fantasies. Seriously are you taking the recommended dosage of the medication that your doctor prescribed?

Bashing our military? Just pointing out some hard truths that you cant seem to swallow. 99% of our military are wonderful, brave and self sacrificing patriotic Americans. But unfortunately there are soldiers who aren’t so wonderful. But hey you keep on cherry picking what I say so you can continue on this crazy tirade your on.

Have you aver considered going into comedy? I ask because you are hilarious.

Kind Regards

Ron

To hard right:

Please take your medication.

Your friend Ron

To Hard Right:

Upset? Really! You couldn’t upset me if you tried.

You’re precious really you are.

Ron

So CRAP, you don’t vote with or support those that will protect your Constitutional rights. Biiiig surprise. After all your posts you want us to believe you aren’t a kool-aid drinker. Ha!

Stupid is not learning from history. Obama is anti-gun and his voting record and actions prove it. They will try to come after guns because they can’t help themselves-even though it cost them Congress in 94. No, the people buying aren’t stupid. You are just willingly blind.

From Curt:

Either way you look at it, his history shows us that we all should be very worried about our right to buy and bear arms.

Don’t judge Obama by his past history. He built his political career in liberal South Chicago politics. Gun control was very popular among his constituent electorate.

But now he’s out of Chicago, and he wants to build the biggest and strongest coalition possible, and he knows that gun control is a third rail to any Democrat who seems to favor it, much less promote it.

Now isn’t a good time to go buying expensive guns, while the demand is high and prices are up. Wait for the post-Obamaphobia sales, after retailers have overstocked their shelves in response to the current buying frenzy.

– Larry Weisenthal/Huntington Beach, CA

Obama wants to ban guns because when he will have taken America from within, he wants nobody to be able to fight him thru a revolution. Sounds so clear to me.

I’m not saying to go out and get gouged. You’ll just have to work a little harder to find reasonable deals.
A lot of people bought weapons just to sell them when another gun grabber comes along.

Larry, I give you an A for optimism. I certainly don’t agree with your POV though when it comes to obama.

In the words of OUR Sainted President, “From my cold dead hands!”

Amen. Lock and load.

confused creg: – “If Republicans could be real Republicans instead of being Rinos, centrists, moderates or good guys, you wouldn’t be in that mess because you would have won this election.”

Sorry to burst your bubble creg, but there;s NO SUCH THING as a moderate republican.

There are republicans, and there are Open-minded Moderates.

You are either one, or the other; YOU CANNOT BE BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do us a favor and PLEASE stop insulting Open-minded Moderates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul relax, we once had that discussion on another thread about this matter. My mind is made up and it is not you who will change it. Moderates have no values, no soul and no goal. This matter is close for me whatever you say I will not respond to it I will just ignore it. If it pleases you to think otherwise, that is your problem, not mine. And BTW, it is not “creg”, it is CRAIG.

creg,

1. I AM relaxed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you REALLY want to see me get pissed off?????????????????

2. It’s INTOLERANT close-minded people like YOU who are the reason WHY I left RESTRICTIVE party politics years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. YOUR intolerant close-mindedness isn’t my problem…IT’S YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. And it’ll be creg until you apologize for your gutless, intolerant, HATE-FILLED, lying HATE SPEECH against open-minded Moderates like myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You ought to take some lessons from the rest of your fellow non-moderates here, and focus on the things that we have in common, instead of the things that we differ on.

Are you up to the challenge??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Wow! I can really see your nice tolerance and moderate ways in your last post… lol

Thanks for acknowledging my Tolerance and my open-minded Moderate mindset 🙂

So what’s so funny???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
