Straight from the jackass' mouth:

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.

Given the best information of the time, it absolutely was - espcially for the people who had little or nothing in the way of guns and faced what looked to be a future of more restrictions.

There is a huge difference in the political reality of what Obama can do right now and what Obama wants to do.

It does not mean people who took his record on the issue for what it is were wrong just because the political situation has put a kink in his agenda. .

Browning BDM

http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg109-e.htm


BDM was the first pistol I ever purchased for myself. It was overlooked by shooterand taken out of production. It came about right at the beginning of the ban which meant hicaps for it were near $100 which killed it. It's really thin for a double stack and it is one of few pistols that is truly ambidextrous. The lever you see in the picture is the safety, decocker, AND slide release. Crappy sights though.

I believe this to be the case.

The Obama staff that looks at this stuff isn't blind, so they'd have to make the connection between the spike in sales and public sentiment.  I also think they realized that all the new sales make it just that much harder to implement prohibition, registration, turn-ins or whatever other stupid plans they may have wanted to pursue.

I do NOT think we can breathe easy.  We won't be able to relax on the threat of gun control until we're all dead.

This.

Obama doesn't have to personalize it the way past Democrats have, all he has to do is sign on and say "USA just living up to international committments".

The US has refused to participate in the UN's little gun control schemes over the past few years, and this has set them back.  The new Liberal Democrat US administration will participate whole heartedly as they are internationalists by definition, as well as gun grabbers. This is going to heat again up very soon.

Hell we have the same problem in Canada, even with a relatively gun friendly Conservative federal government in Ottawa.

I do not think for a minute that this Administration would not like to place heavier restrictions on firearms or ban them outright.

However, they will use other patsys to get it done for them. They have allies like the VPC et al on their side.

Plus, like other posters have noted, if they take all our income in taxes, we will not have any money to spend on firearms anyway.

Rest assured he's working behind the scenes to implement his socialist agenda, including gun bans. Publicly accessible White House records show george soros, michael bloomberg and sarah brady all had appointments at the oval office last year. One of those is a hungarian jewish turncoat nazi sympathizer war criminal inside trader who favors complete civilian disarmament and totalitarian socialist rule. The other 2 are single issue advocate gun banners.

"Still, the NRA is not rushing to recant. A spokesman admits the president has signed some provisions it favors, but notes that they were attached to legislation he wanted, making them hard to veto.

Only idiot children believe or propose Obama “spurns” gun control. The lack of action on the issue can in no way be translated as being support for gun rights or intend not to restrict gun rights.

Obama has just decided he currently does not have the votes to push it and wanted to focus on healthcare. You can bet the farm if Zero had won early on healthcare a gun bill would be on the table now.

The panic buying was not justified only in that people should have prepared long team for the possibility and if they had done that panic buying would have been unnecessary.

Repeat after me, folks - Obama was not, and is not, the primary problem.  His priorities are whatever he thinks will help him out individually, and gun control isn't a good political position for him.  But his lack of spine opens the door to Reid and Pelosi, who are the real threats.  Both have demonstrated repeatedly that they are willing to slide crap into "must have" legislation, and Obama has shown that he will knuckle under and sign it.

Gun control may not be a priority for Obama, but he won't veto a bill that contains it.  It's the congressional "leadership" that will do it for him.

Better to have, and not need.






He'll sign any piece of gun legislation that hits his desk. That he knows it's not likely to happen in this political climate, isn't implicit support for the 2A all of a sudden.

Obama's a fake.  Everything about him is a facade.  What's actually behind the facade is the million dollar question. I'm guessing it's Soros and a desire to make a boatload of money off the collapse of the economy.  Not that he's told Obama that, but that's what I expect is what's driving everything we've seen so far.  Obama, the left, Marxism, etc, etc, are just a means to an end.  Soros wants an economic collapse, not a revolution.  Gun control won't help with that and could make it impossible for Soros to get his payday.



Then again, maybe it's just my tinfoil hat is adjusted too tight.
