    Obama: "Couple of decades ago, Australia had a mass shooting, similar to Columbine or Newtown. And Australia just said, well, that’s it, we’re not doing, we’re not seeing that again, and basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws (firearm confiscation) and they haven’t had a mass shooting since.
    Our levels of gun violence are off the charts. There’s no advanced, developed country that would put up with this."

    http://www.nationalreview.com/corne...australias-gun-confiscation-charles-c-w-cooke

    Of course, we all know his famous quote: "I don't believe people should be allowed to own guns."

    As I have said before, if Obama had his way he'd sick the DHS on the bitter clingers and kick every midwestern door down, tomorrow.



    And before you liberals break your fingers and keyboards typing that obama is right, here's an article about how gun crime is now out of control in Australia:

    http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/...aws-But-Gun-Crime-In-Sydney-Is-Out-Of-Control

    NSW police commissioner Andrew Scipione explained: "There is no single source of gun violence... guns have fallen into the hands of organized crime, outlaw motorcycle gangs, mid-level crime groups and petty thieves and the lines are often blurred."

    "Police struggling to control Sydney gun violence"

    "If police and government can’t control Sydney gun crime, local communities must"

    Since then Senator Obama was running for President, gun nuts have been saying that he was going to confiscate guns.

    5 years into his Presidency- he has not done so, nor has he proposed confiscating your guns.

    Why are you against background checks for gun owners?

    I'm against the national database that those background checks would go into, for when time comes to confiscate, the government will have every name.

    Two Men Use Girl As Human Shield — Until Her Father Guns Them Down

    A St. Louis couple is likely thankful to have guns in their home after they were forced to use them to defend their daughter against two men Monday night.

    The men, one of whom had an extensive rap sheet, confronted the couples’ 17 year-old daughter after she stepped outside of the house to go to her car, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

    Cortez McClinton, 33, and Terrell Johnson, 31, held a gun to the girl’s head and used her as a shield as they entered the family home, where a five-year old child was also present.

    The girl’s father and mother witnessed the abduction, and both retrieved their guns. When McClinton and Johnson entered, the father fired several shots, hitting both men. The girl’s mother fired one shot but missed.

    Johnson died at the scene. McClinton was wounded but was able to scramble off. He had his brother take him to the hospital.

    In 2010, McClinton was charged with shooting another man. Charges were eventually dropped due to lack of witness participation. He also had drug possession and distribution charges against him.

    McClinton is charged with second-degree murder, kidnapping, burglary, and criminal armed action and is being held on $1 million bond.

    Only because he knows he'd lose in his efforts. If he thought for a second he'd be able to do this politically, he would.

    It's always funny that when progressives lose on an issue, they pretend they never tried.

    Didn't the seller fill out a form with your name and serial number of the gun you bought? Didn't he call it into a national data base before selling it to you?

    Now imagine if every low-life knew that girl's dad wasn't allowed to own to a gun. They wouldn't even need a human shield. They'd just kick down the door and wave the four-four

    Says a huge number of gun nuts... who also happen to be registered members of the NRA, who's records the government could easily get with a subpoena, or hack into...

    Not saying I am for one, but it amuses my how short sighted these people can be.

    Like when a cat is chasing something, if it gets away the cat immediately stops and sits up as if it wasn't interested.

    Not in the NRA either.

    and that's something liberals need to realize. For every NRA member, there's at least 10 guys with a grip of guns who arn't in, but support the NRA 100%.

    Just to be clear....no U.S. President...Democrat, Republican or Independent will EVER attempt to "CONFISCATE FIREARMS"....from the American People.

    Any attempt to do this would not only be against the U.S. Constitution but invoke the part of our Constitution that states it is the DUTY....of every American Citizen to REMOVE FROM OFFICE A GOVERNMENT that no longer abides by the U.S. Constitution.

    And if some will notice...our Constitution does not say it is a citizens...Right....or a citizen has legal grounds....but instead the U.S. Constitution states it IS THE DUTY OF EVERY U.S. CITIZEN TO REMOVE SUCH A GOVERNMENT!!!!

    No President...unless they want to start a Revolution...is going to start confiscating firearms in the U.S.

    When the "Brady check" became law, we knew that this was the establishment of the federal database.
    What would a more extensive background check claim to accomplish? Look just a tiny bit into ANY of the recent mass shootings, and discover that people already knew that the shooters had issues. Efforts had been made to have those issues addressed. The people who want your guns are NOT INTERESTED in addressing mental issues. They are interested in YOUR GUNS. Duh.

    White House: Obama Looking to Act ‘Administratively, Unilaterally’ on Guns

    http://www.theblaze.com/stories/201...to-act-administratively-unilaterally-on-guns/

    you say no president, but we've never had a president like Obama.

    Now, I don't think it's at all likely, in fact, i think obama has so little clout now that he couldn't get anything passed no matter how hard he tries.

    But, I do believe that obama hates all the christian, fly-over country, gun owning conservatives in this country with every fiber of his being, and his greatest wish would be to take their beloved weapons away from them.

    It certainly isn't a problem for you and your team, but when they decide to confiscate I'd prefer my name wasn't on that list.

    No doubt about it, on both points. He's a progressive, after all.

    That's ridiculous.

    If Obama is anything he is the consummate Politician and as every Politician knows Candidates or Presidents who talk about confiscating firearms are doomed.

    Like I said, it's not likely, but he's no longer running for anything. Maybe that's why he just voiced praise for australia, who confiscated weapons.

    But yes, if hilary talked about it she'd be done. but 5 years in? Who knows.

    Sounds to me like your a bit paranoid; no one has proposed confiscating guns; in fact the 2nd amendment would prohibit that.

    The Right to Bear Arms is not something I think we have to worry about.

    By the time they propose it, it will be too late. politicians arn't stupid.

    but they are hinting, like obama has done at times, this one being the most recent.


    And no, the constitution isn't that strong. What if the supreme court were to interpret the 2nd amendment in a different way? Obviously that's not an immediate threat but if hillary is elected and she puts some activist judges in?

    any sort of action like that would result in civil war #2 so it just depends on how far the left wants to go.

    - - - Updated - - -

    dont be so sure, it's been chipped away at for decades and as that article states, obama will do something before he's out.

    You are just proving my point. If the government really wanted to go after several million of the most gung ho gun owners they would grab the NRA database first.

    if your point is that there's already names on lists, sure, well done. My point is I don't want that list to expand by millions of names and gigabytes of more personal information.

    Maybe if I was my grandfather.

    But i've got another 40-50 years left in this country and the way things are, liberals are going to keep winning, criminals are going to keep coming over the border (I'm in texas) and gun violence is going to continue.

    Something is going to give.
