Default Obama team announces gun control measures

http://change.gov/agenda/urbanpolicy_agenda/

Quote:
Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.

Obama is a liberal big-govt. big-brother politician. This is what America wants, someone to wipe its ass.

But I was just told all the people flocking to gun shows in the last month are paranoid wackos.

This is infuriating.

My fear of the 2nd Amendment being removed may not be that far away.

Common sense says that criminals don't go through the legal channels to get their guns. Could Obama be more of a fucking dumbass about this?

The evisceration of our rights is beginning. 1984 is coming true again.

To paraphrase that paper from London 4 years ago, "how could 62 million people be so dumb?"

Time to renew that NRA membership. We beat back the Clinton gun-grabbers, we can do the same with the Obamanistas.

American traditions are dying, and the respect of our forefathers is changing. Current urbanites don't respect the frontier, don't understand it.

Think of it this way, the current electorate wants "free universal health care", economic prosperity without risk, bailouts for every failed and inefficient industry, taxation penalties on successful persons or industries, and crimefree without penalty .......

We want it all at no cost, and we don't want to have to work for it.

As a whole, our country has turned into a bunch of spoiled, entitled candy asses. It's disgusting.

The two most important things for me in any election year is lower taxes and the 2nd Amendment. If those are ignored or made unthinkable, then government dependence increases.

To hell with Obama and Biden. The next 4 years will be horrendous.

It certainly does and he's not even in the White House yet.

I thought I was handling the disaster of the '08 elections rather well until this news.

Now, I'm pissed.
