    he attempted to indirectly infringe it by restricting ammo by attempting to force ammo manufacturers to put ID codes on all ammo boxes and cases, registering all ammo sales and banning reloading of ammo by the public. by doing this, he'd indirectly disarm the public, something frowned upon by many people since it's a step towards government takeover and dictatorship, the bill never passed, thank god.

    also, by making the ammo manufacturers put codes on all the cases, it would raise the price of all ammo by a estimated 600% or more.

    He wants to but he can't. The kind of voter backlash that would happen especially with all the promises he has made to dems in red states it could easily blow up in his face. So they have been rather moot about it.

    Now he wants to pass CIFTA but the senate being what it is I'd doubt it could get 67 votes. And the house judiciary the panel in the US house that gun laws would go through have already stated they won't even allow a panel vote on any gun bill. So his hands by normal political means are tied. So hes going to create a meeting for an "NICS improvment" act that would end private sales and make people arrested but never charged or convicted of drug possesion prohibited persons. The NRA is not taking part and the CCKBA (I think that's what there called) are going but there going to see if they will remove any laws on the books and ask him about all the guns the ATF gave to the mexican cartels to inflate there numbers to get more funding.

    Actually the project gunrunner and the 90% into Mexico canard literally started in the same month. If I were paranoid....

    the secret provider has secure the 1st kinfolk for over a century now. they are and function been seen a remember of national protection. The Bush twins, Ron Reagan, Jr., Chelsea Clinton, Amy Carter, all have had armed secret provider brokers as their escorts. The advert needless to say stated as the president an elitist hypocrite for something that may no longer his selection and thoroughly previous his administration. the secret provider artwork decrease than the Treasury branch and whether the president advised them to stand down their protection of his babies, they'd disobey the order because of the fact even the president does not have say-so so a strategies as secret provider protocol. The advert replace into idiotic, and your argument is besides.

    His administration works in round about ways: Supporting the U.N. Small Arms Treaty, attempting to nix importation of M1's from S. Korea because "they will be used in crimes," putting anti-gun justices on the Supreme Court, putting an anti-gunner in charge of the BATF.

    And yes, right now Obama is setting the stage for an anti-gun push if he gets re-elected. Make no mistake, many anti-gunners are champing at the bit for another massacre that will allow them to push more restrictive firearms laws.

    Source(s): Obama is anti-2nd Amendment. Don't believe his "sheep in wolf's clothing" bit one bit.

    Yes he is Public Enemy Number One (1*) as far as Gun Owners, Hunters, Collectors, Sportsman, or Veterans are concerned.* He is, and has become the Great Deceiver as far as the U. S. Constitution, and Guns are concerned.*... " Only a Criminal, Tyrant, or a Tyrannical Federal, State, County, or Local Government is Afraid of the Armed American Citizen."..." Try living Free in America without your guns and your ammo; I dare you."....

    He wants to but wants to completely F*** this county first. However South Korea wanted to give us back some vintage WW2 M1 Grands and M1 carbines. There were over a million of them; instead of having them sold to the American public he makes the Koreans melt them down. He is not a supporter of the second amendment and in my OPINION would rather not have it in the constitution.

    So far Obama has not made any SERIOUS attacks towards the 2nd Amendment. He knows if he does that it will seriously hurt his re-election efforts. However, if he gets re-elected in 18 months then he will no longer have another election campaign to be concerned about and he will feel much freer to get serious about more gun control laws. As of now though most of the anti-gun organizations are disappointed that he hasn't made more efforts at gun control.

  • 1 decade ago

    I don't see how. The only gun control he's called for is an instant background check to prevent felons and psychos from buying guns.

    Felons and psychos can have their liberties taken away by due process of law, as specified in the 5th Amendment.

    And last I checked, even the NRA doesn't oppose preventing psychos and felons from purchasing guns.

    He's a liberal socialist. Why wouldn't he? America isn't a republic anymore. We're a, rather obvious, socialist police state. Sad, I know. You may not like it; but, it's true. Get used to being poor; get used to being on the public dole; get used to being watched and electronically surveilled everywhere you go all of the time.

    (Oh, yeah, welcome to the 21st Century - The age of the antichrist! It's going to get a lot worse before things begin to improve - Watch! The very important decision most people are soon going to be forced to make is, 'Where are you going to have your own personal RFID chip implanted - In your forehead or in your right hand?)

    Not yet. If he gets elected for a second term, expect the worst.

    I believe he has many changes that he would like to make and his first term is the time to set up for those changes. Just look at the people he has put into office and the supreme court judges, like Sotomayor, who believes in a modern interpretation of the constitution. Now isnt the time to be worried, but we must all go to the polls to be sure he doesnt win in the next election.

    And im sure Bob Sacramano will spout some of his pro muslim bs on here shortly.
