Obama Seeks to Restrict 2nd Amendment Without Congressional Approval

The Second Amendment is one of the cornerstones of American Democracy and Independence.  It guarantees the "right to bear arms," allowing average citizens to own firearms.  The Founding Fathers included this provision, amongst other reasons, because the British tried to restrict who could own weapons and how many in order to force colonists into submission.

It protects against a tyrannical government with a strangle hold on power and guns.

Administration officials now say that President Obama is looking fervently into ways to restrict the Second Amendment.  Even worse, the President is looking at ways around the legislature completely, hoping that laws can be "secured strictly through executive action."

The Department of Justice held a meeting Tuesday, the first of what is expected to be many, discussing gun laws.  The main focus?  The White House's attempts to form a gun policy and change laws.

One official stated, “The purpose of these discussions is to be a productive exchange of good ideas from folks across the spectrum.  We think that’s a good place to start.”

I'm sure President Obama, widely regarded as one of the most partisan Presidents in history, will really take others' opinions into account.
Mr. Obama
At the same time as this meeting, Democrats introduced new legislation to increase gun control.  The bill mirrors new laws supported by Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY).  On limiting gun ownership, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who supports the bill, stated:
"Too often, any serious discussion about guns devolves into ideological arguments that have nothing to do with the real problem. Our coalition strongly believes in the Second Amendment. We also know from experience that we can keep guns away from dangerous people without imposing burdens on law-abiding gun owners."
Afraid of too much government?  They may be coming for your guns.  Seriously.

  2. I'm a little surprised Our Lord and Master can take any time out of his busy golf, vacation, and fantasy basketball schedule to attend these meetings... Maybe he'll send an Underfuhr... uh... Czar in his place...

  5. if the congress lets this bastard get away with this, there should most absolutely be an armed revolution. never, should this communist bastard ever have been elected to ANYTHING, not only to include the office he's in right now, of which he is the greatest of pretenders. if we have to depend on congress to protect our rights, however, I'm afraid we're done for it.

  14. He is trying to push us far enough 'til we have our backs to the wall. When violence erupts he'll declare Marshall Law, invite the UN and/or China to assist in quelling the violence and our country will just become a part of the New World Order.

  19. He and Daly and Bloomberg want our guns, NOPE! Got to try to take them! I'm wating.

  20. Everyone here keeps saying "Come & take them.."
    Im afraid to burst your all's bubble but I do believe 90% of gun owners would gladly hand them over if some police officer walks in & asks for them. People want to be on the legal side of the law.
    What we REALLY need to change is people's understanding of what the 2nd Amendment is really about. ARMING EVERYONE WITH MILITARY STYLE WEAPONS!!! AKA: MACHINE GUNS

    Bring back the State funded Militias & make it law that you HAVE TO CARRY A FIREARM AT ALL TIMES.. EVERYWHERE YOU GO!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yeah, 90% of the people might give them up, that still leaves 10.2 million gun owners who won't and those 10.2 gun owners are the men who have been stockpiling guns and ammo for years. They're NOT going to give it up and many are organized with like minded individuals that will out gun any swat team on the planet and combined out gun any army on the planet. Most are veterans, many combat veterans, and a significant numbers of which are special ops.

  22. Most of these comments on here make me embarrassed to be an American. How can we try and be a forward thinking, world leading country when all people see are these kind of self-centered, self absorbed, narrow minded, selfish, comments..... all you have to do is look at the amount of gun crime committed in this country compared to most other 'civilized' societies and you will realize that less guns equal less stupid, pointless, gun crimes.
    Grow up, and realize that you can't always have what you want. Life is about personal compromizes for the greater good.

  23. ya sound like michelle obama.... a.k.a. moron.... look at every other society that gave up their guns... hows that working for them...why dont you move if you don't believe our founding fathers rules..

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yes there is gun crime in this country but look at all the genocide in other countries that have laws that forbid their citizens from owning firearms..
    Its a fact that more people died in the last century from the hands of their own government than all the wars combined.
    "Greater good"!!??? HAhaha!!
    Here's my greater good!!
    Leave my lively hood alone & I'll leave you alone!
    Now for you Marxist, Communist, Socialist, Nazi, Leftest, Progressive.. or whatever you call yourselves.. Go back & LEARN some human history.
    The Founding Fathers wasnt some stupid people. They learned FROM HISTORY that every time the government took weapons away from its citizens, that government turns corrupt & makes its citizens nothing but SLAVES!

  25. They won't take our guns. They'll just outlaw manufacturing of ammo. Same result. And for those who say that gun crime is a reason to outlaw guns, I can assure you that criminals will always find a way to get guns. The rest of us will not be able to defend ourselves against them if we have no guns or ammo. That will be the end of us.

  26. To Ms. Obama (aka embarrassed to be an american)

    Do you honestly believe that outlawing guns is going to stop gun crimes? Seriously? The people that you want to take the guns away from are those that LEGALLY own them. Do you really believe that the person holding up a store or killing people on the street are using their own legally registered guns? Law abiding citizens are the ones hurt by gun "legislation". Not the criminals that you socialists are trying to scare people into believing that these gun laws will save us from!

  27. Say Obama wins again in 2012. I'm sticking my neck out here but in my opinion come 2018 he will still be in power because I'm nearly sure this dictator will find some way to make his 2nd term a very, very long one. I know you can't serve more than 2 terms but this guy will.

  28. He will disarm Americans. It's no surprise this man feel so comfortable with dictators and thugs. Get over it buddy because this will be a one-term presidency. I think he forgot who elected him in 2008 and he has alienated many of those voters. That's why illegals are encouraged to come in the country. In Maryland, the governor is allowing them to get drivers licenses, government contracts without E-Verify, and in state tuition for college. The Democrats need to get CANNED.

  29. I own many firearms, and plenty of ammo, but reading most of these posts makes me realize that most of you are a bunch of MORONS!!! You believe anything that's posted on the internet. Get a brain, and learn to see things for yourself. Not what some idiot posts on the web.

  30. Wow, some of these comments are really ignorant... No one is coming to take your guns away. Take a deep breath, it will all be okay!

    ReplyDelete
  31. sure Pres. OBAMA, we will gladly
    oblige when we see that you give
    up the SECRET SEVICE and of course
    your private security guards also.

    In the aura that preently surrounds
    our cities we'd be nuts to be without
    some kind of protection.

    Just as you made it clear to HOLDER
    that he may not convice a man of color
    for his enmity towards the pale man
    isn't that telling people that they will
    not be convicted for anything they do
    unto others....we need protection.
