Obama Lied-does he think that saying the 2nd amendment is about hunting will make the gullible believe it?

Hmm, let's see the 2nd amendment very clearly states in plain English : A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall NOT be infringed. Our founders were short and to the point on this one, we have the right to bear arms to ensure a free state. In other words to prevent a tyrannical leader from taking our freedoms we have the right to own and use guns or other weapons and the government or other people cannot infringe (or make rules to limit, prevent, or stop) on this right. I don't see where it says anything about hunting, simply protection and insurance of freedoms. Not a complicated amendment at all.

exactly.

i think it was for the constant threat of Redcoats originally, it was further refined by the militia act of 1792 and we got to hunt Redcoats again in 1812.

America must remain vigilant of all oppressors.

very true and now they are in d.c.

Some things never change.

and thats why we need them too now.

the exact purpose if folks would read the 2nd ammendment stresses this exact thing ...

then again what is expected from a intentionally tryannious factions !

the libs would buy it ...the rest of us know better !

The problem is that most Americans seem to believe him, even many of those who don't want gun control.

do they? if they so they really are stupid. but seeing as how too many are ignorant of the constitution its easy to lie about it isn't it?

"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few public officials."
--George Mason

Seems simple enough to me ;)

doesn't it?

Here's what gripes my ass our law enforcment in most cases has their hands tied ,the lawyers and judges have failed to do their job putting and keeping the bad guys and gals behind bars and that leads us to think that they are for the crimminals.So what do we do? We take justice into our own hands,take for instance what happened in COLORADO that guy will meet an early death and rightfully so.We have to protect ourselves because we can't count on anyone else to do it for us.We also know that there are alot of people who would love for us to be disarmed.

and saying this is beginning to plant an idea in peoples heads isn't it?

I hope so

He can say anything he wants to to his dumb down entitlement sheeple that believe his every word. These morans don't understand what FREEDOM is and what it takes (or what it might take) to preserve it.

well said!

The Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed after inner-city riots and the assassinations of MLK. and Robert Kennedy. Its central aim was to establish national standards concerning how guns are sold, and to whom. Dealers were required to obtain a federal license, to keep records of their sales (including the serial numbers newly mandated for all guns), to limit their interstate business, and to put an end to mail-order deliveries. They were obliged to refuse guns to minors and to several categories of people now prohibited by federal law from possessing them, including convicted felons, fugitives from justice, drug abusers, and anyone with a history of serious mental illness.

Along came the Brady Act of 1994 which requires licensed dealers to run a background check on prospective buyers. Obama rarely says much about gun control but it safe to say he supports those laws. As a gun owner, so do I. The problem is states diverge so much. Saturday Night Specials are legal in some but not others. This patchwork regime of local, state, and federal laws serves no one well except a certain subset including the likes of James Holmes. Any solution to America’s gun problem must be, like the problem itself, national in scope... yet people have a freaking meltdown any time gun laws or gun control is even mentioned. The weary old cry of " Obama will take our guns away" reaches a feverish pitch. Ridiculous.

and why shouldn't it? thats the agenda they are aiming for.

exactly.

That document, the Constitution, was written when muskets were the primary weapon for everything, hunting and defense. They weren't nearly as lethal as an AK-47 is and could not kill nearly as many the new weapons which can fire multiple shots in seconds.
These kind of weapons have no place in the hands of the general public. They are dangerous and have been used in many, many slaughters of innocent people over the years. They must be taken out of the hands of the general public and locked up away from those who would use them for mass murder. There's no excuse for this to go on any longer.
I have no problem with having a gun for personal protection in your home or rifles for hunting. But these automatic weapons with quick load, multiple round clips should be banned. These are the guns used in these horrific murders of unarmed people.

have you spoken to eric holder about this?

No,but I did hear Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia on TV tonight.
He said that he thought there was a lot to be said for automatic weapons, hand held rocket launchers etc. NOT being available to the general public. He said that at the time the Constitution was written, the Founding Fathers never imagined they types of weapons that would be available in the 21st century. He said it would have to be discussed but he could see where the right to "bear arms" might not include the types of weapons you're talking about. Now Scalia is one of the most conservative judges on the court so, there is a potential there for banning these kinds of guns for personal use.

one ban will lead to another,not good.

what about the millions of law abiding folks who legally have assault riffles ??
in order to have a fully auto types you MUST have a permit ..
the AR15 Mr Holmes had was a semi auto , and didnt even have a 3 round burst function ....!

you want them taken them away from us ?

I don't know what kind of gun he had but it was capable of killing or wounding over 70 people in just a few minutes. He also had ordered 6,000 rounds of ammunition. No one should have access to that kind of fire power.

Red flags should have gone up all over the place.

And he also had booby trapped his apartment. He had the potential to kill police officers as well as other occupants of the apartment building where he lived.

If you read my reply to "Irish" just above your question, you'll see that one of the most conservative judges on the Supreme Court is also thinking this way. A gun for personal protection is not a problem. An arsenal of automatic weapons is a problem.

his actions were not done alone ( there was a police commander that said the same thing ) his booby traps were done by a VERY skilled special warfare ops vet.

I have over 6k rounds of ammo .and a fully auto weapon (permitted from my service in the navy ) ..so am I a threat ..???

hypnosis is an extremely strong tool ,, most often the recipient doesnt know they've been effected !

exactly. and don't recall anything that happened .

I don't think ordinary citizens, law abiding or not, should have assault rifles.

Why do they need them? Do they really think there will be some kind of revolution or so much civil disorder that they will need to kill multiple people?

If there was some kind of insurrection do they really think that they would be capable of holding off the military?

I don't know what we'd have to do to get the guns from these people or if that's even possible.

From what I've been told, there usually isn't even a background check for someone ordering or buying an assault rifle. I don't know if that's true of all places or just some but even one way to get access to a lethal weapon is too many.

I respect and thank you for your service in the Navy and I will take a leap of faith and say that I don't really think you're a threat. Can't say for sure because I don't know you. My godson was a Marine pilot. He served two deployments in Iraq but died shortly after returning home. So, I can appreciate the sacrifices that our military and their families make everyday.

It just makes me sad that the country I love is becoming so violent. I think we all want the violence to stop but I admit I don't know how to make that happen. I just think that everyone taking up arms is not the answer.

well have to agree to DIS agree ..

many of my navy / marine buddies have arms (arsenol ) my brother inlaw is an arms dealer ( army sniper ) .has an arsenol beyond believe ..but what ever !

it's liberally minded folks that cant defend them selves !

I agree...Obama is spreading BS again...
and really this whole arguement of gun control..will not even happen until after the election... because Obama doesnt want to lose votes..

well said.

Exactly, but wait and see what happens if the dumbed down sheeple put this a-hole back in. Gun control will be his top priority.

Unfortunately the gullible (ignorant) will buy into Obama's B.S.

definitely.

If he's talking he's lieing ... !

for sure.
