Anti-gun Obama takes off the mask!

I’ve got to read my E-Mail more often! While I was advocating a wait and see attitude, the Obama Transition Team announced four nasty anti-gun items on their agenda just three days after the election. So much for “The Chosen One” and his “support” for the Second Amendment. I guess we should have seen it coming, given Obama’s dismal record on the individual right to self-defense against crime and tyranny and the Democrat Platform Plank promising renewal of the “Assault Weapons” ban.
The problem with the Democrats, is that they misrepresent the truth so much that it’s hard to tell whether they are ever going to do what they say they will. (Hopefully, Obama is going to renege on his tax increases, or the economy of this country is in deep trouble.)
As always, the Devil will be in the details. Will the bill before Congress really be the expired “Assault Weapons” Ban that was simply a silly inconvenience to gun owners, because it banned guns based on cosmetic features, such as pistol grips, flash hiders, and bayonet lugs? Will the Obama bill be the new version of the “Ban” on steroids that will allow an Attorney General to ban any semi-auto firearm based on the fact that the weapon was ever used by the military for anything? Will the Obama ban cover virtually anything with a magazine well, because in theory such a weapon could accept a “high-capacity” magazine?
The repeal of the Tiahrt Amendment is simply a ploy to facilitate predatory lawsuits against gun makers and to allow anti-gun fellow travelers in the Mainstream Media to misuse trace data as evidence that certain types of firearms are more often used in crimes. The fact that a particular gun has been traced by law enforcement agencies does not mean that the firearm was ever involved in a criminal act.
Obama wants to “close the ‘Gun Show Loophole.’ That is Liberal code for requiring background checks for firearms’ transactions between private individuals at gun shows. This is a two-pronged attack on the Second Amendment by expanding the registration of of firearms’ transfers. The next step is the requirement that all private transactions be registered. Once this has been accomplished, the stage is set for government confiscation of all registered firearms in civilian hands.
The other reason that the Left wants to “regulate” gun shows is to “regulate” them out of business, so that they can no longer be used as public forums for gun owners and organizations that support the fundamental individual right of American Citizens to armed self-defense against crime and tyranny. Obama’s hostility to both the First and Second Amendments is evident in this proposed legislation.
“Childproof guns” are the next item on “The Chosen One’s” agenda. How do we “childproof” a gun? We could take the Washington, D.C. approach and require that the gun be disassembled and unloaded. We could take the Chicago approach and simply ban a type of firearm, all together. (Obama has long supported both bans.) We could require cipher lock/”smart gun” technology on all guns and ban any firearms lacking this unproven capability. The goals of this stalking horse approach to gun control are to make guns prohibitively expensive, impossible to use for self-defense, and to eventually ban any gun that is not “safe.”
We can be sure that the Obama Administration will be competently assisted by their minions in the Mainstream Media in demonizing guns and the gun owners who were assured by Obama that he would “earn their trust.”
I have to say that ”The Chosen One,” the Leader of “The People We Have Been Waiting For” is off to a very bad start with regard to the Bill of Rights and the people who support it. To those gun owners who supported Obama and those gun owners who voted third party or failed to vote, I have to say that I’m afraid that you have sown the wind and that we will all reap the whirlwind.
