If the current admin wins the election its on, he's limited to two terms just like others so what has he got to lose?
If they win in 2012 I would not be suprised if there is a push to go the route of Austraila, not the same way but with the same result.
But then again if the word got out about any such nonsense I think the initial uproar from the population e.g. people like you and me would be sufficent to put a stop to it at least until he got out of office.
He knows that gun control is a hot topic that can kill his chances in 2012, that is why it hasnt been brought up.
Also his admin got caught doing the fast and furious thing, just like someone getting caught gettting there rocks off in the bathroom at work to a JcPenny catalog. So now they are on damage control and thus far they seem to be doing well at least in the MSM. The only outlets that mention it still are FOX and talk radio.
Keep on your toes!
