Obama is again coming after your guns

Loading

The Justice Department plans to move forward this year with more than a dozen new gun-related regulations, according to list of rules the agency has proposed to enact before the end of the Obama administration.

The regulations range from new restrictions on high-powered pistols to gun storage requirements. Chief among them is a renewed effort to keep guns out of the hands of people who are mentally unstable or have been convicted of domestic abuse.

Gun safety advocates have been calling for such reforms since the Sandy Hook school shooting nearly three years ago in Newtown, Conn. They say keeping guns away from dangerous people is of primary importance.
But the gun lobby contends that such a sweeping ban would unfairly root out a number of prospective gun owners who are not a danger to society.

“It’s clear President Obama is beginning his final assault on our Second Amendment rights by forcing his anti-gun agenda on honest law-abiding citizens through executive force,” said Luke O’Dell, vice president of political affairs at the National Association for Gun Rights.

The Justice Department plans to issue new rules expanding criteria for people who do not qualify for gun ownership, according to the recently released Unified Agenda, which is a list of rules that federal agencies are developing.

So, on the one hand let’s take guns away from normal people who might have had a traumatic event or met a counsellor over budget issues as well as folks who have ever been arrested even for minor crimes ….. while, on the other hand Obama and liberals open the prisons of felons, drug dealers and rapists who will bypass ALL laws to arm themselves on the streets.
Is that the plan?

When a 300 lb brute tries to wrest the service weapon from a cop, beating him in the process (presumably to be peaceful with and go back to school), the left does not denounce THAT; they attack the fact that the cop lawfully and justifiably shot a thug trying to steal his weapon and possibly kill him with it.

A left wing protester that advocates killing white people and stompd an American flag gets caught on campus with an illegal pistol in his backpack; the left defends and supports him. But, the left rolls out their usual array of horror fantasies over legal concealed carry on college campuses.

After the left put a price on his head, despite him being proven guilty of no wrongdoing, George Zimmerman has been stalked, shot at and wounded. This is violence not simply ignored by the left, but promoted and encouraged. Yet, they believe, though hunted for the rest of his life, Zimmerman should have no right to self-defense; in fact, NONE of us should have that right.

Time and time again violent criminals are released or given light sentences by liberal judges, then go on to commit more crimes with guns. Yet, all the left proposes is greater restriction on law abiding citizens.

Since left wing attacks on police in Baltimore and DeBlasio ending “stop and frisk” in NYC (if you are going to violate someone’s rights, violate the rights of criminals), violent crimes and crimes with guns have increased dramatically. Yet, the only solution that the left can devise is to further restrict the rights of those causing NONE of the problems.

The first step in any gun restriction measure would be to register and ban from gun ownership anyone that votes for liberal candidates or openly supports liberal causes because all recent mass killings have been perpetrated by liberals. Liberals do everything they can to incite violence and keep violent criminals on the street; their right to make judgements and laws should be revoked.

Heck, if we are going to act unConstitionally, the least we can do is hammer those who cause most of the misery.

What?! He didn’t confiscate them all the first time around? Better buy more, just in case. (And the gun industry thanks you for your financial support.)

@Greg: Isn’t it amazing and wonderful how Americans keeping living free and enjoying their rights despite the best efforts of the left? Despite all the horror stories of law abiding citizens with guns mowing people down at random, more and more guns are bought and owned.

Unless it is the intent of this administration to increase gun ownership, their campaign to deprive citizens of their 2nd Amendment rights is working out about as well as Obamanomics, Obamacare, Obamasurrender and Obamagration. All failures.

There is no campaign to deprive citizens of their 2nd Amendment rights. There’s only an NRA campaign to convince people that there is because the NRA has no purpose without one.

@Jeff D: Yeah, sure Jeff. Nothing to worry about. I mean, it’s not like this administration has lied about crime, mass killings, US guns in Mexico or what actually reduces crime and what increases it. Certainly no evidence of any agenda going on. You’re probably right.
