Anyone who thinks the Senate vote on a federal gun registry expanded background checks was the be-all and end-all of the federal push for civilian disarmament take note: the anti-gun spin machine is still revolving faster than Mercury. Michelle Obama does her bit to viva la revolution, affirming her husband’s promise to revive gun control ASAP ’cause kids living five miles from her childhood home are living in fear. “Every day they wake up and wonder whether they’re going to make it out of school alive,” Barack Obama’s main squeeze tells CBS [via thehill.com]. And that means “lawmakers have an obligation to these kids to try again.” And it’s not just a few thousand Windy City kids in “gun-free” zones who put the onus on the pols to grab guns. Nope . . .
“We have millions of kids living in these kinds of circumstances who are doing everything right,” Obama said. “And we, as a nation, have to embrace these kids and let them know that we hear them, and see them. One kid told me he felt like he lived in a cage, because he feels like his community is unseen, unheard and nobody cares about it.”
See what she did there? Clearly, the First Lady is a card-carrying member of the Cult of Victimhood. Whereas The People of the Gun understand that armed self-defense is the key to both individual and communal self-reliance.
One country, two philosophies. Place your bets now. Oh wait. You already have. Then watch this space.
I will admit that all of the ‘carry’ guns in my house have had work, some more than others. My 1911 has a extended beavertail, extra power Wolff springs, a arched mainspring housing mag well, nightsights, match grade threaded barrel and bushing, comander style hammer, extended single side safety, extended slide release, a crisp 3.5 lb trigger with almost no over travel ( .09 inches to be exact) and Crimson Trace grips. In comparison my Sigs ( 226 and the 228) only had the springs replaced with Wolff extra power springs, the triggers smoothed out ( it dropped less than a pound from factory spec, but it feels like 3 pounds off), factory threaded barrels, nightsights and Crimson Trace grips.
My line in the sand.
What this dope, Moochelle Obama, doesn’t get is that we are armed to protect ourselves and especially the innocent.

Since when was the election of a comnander In chief considered “commander & chief & his loud-mouth lieing spouse”?
They have their grandure balks, all decked out in pomp & circumstance, whete indignataries flock to pay homage, Costing tens of thousands of dollars, yet 10 miles away in the lowly existance of a poverish portion of DC, examples of these “children” they so convincingly apear to love, go hungry or impoverishedly clothed?
Examine YOURSELF WOMAN! &let not your indifference lead you to my doorstep!
Why does anyone even begin to listen to anything that comes out of the mouth of the “wife” of the potus?
She is a NOBODY!
FOAD, manchelle!
They also have a strong connection to firearms in that they released multiple videos endorsing 2nd Amendment rights after Sandy Hook and kept them up even in the face of massive blowback and bile. If nothing else, they’ve proven themselves steadfast friends of the People of the Gun.
Rick’s answer was partially correct. Unload the guns first. Then reload and unload again.
Actually, not “five miles from her (Chicago) home,” but just down the block: http://guardamerican.com/index.php/blog/47-safety/635-first-lady-damns-chicago-gun-control
Would never own anything from “Cold Steal”, even if it was given to me.
“Cold Steal?” Oh, that’s so cute! Now do one about airline food!
First the media onslaught against gun owners led by the professional victim parade of Bloomberg and Giffords, with the approval of the White House (not to sound insensitive to Gifford’s plight, but I’m still pissed off about the damage they did in Colorado). Now the gun grabbers are playing the “mom card.” By the way, Michelle Obama is not a MILF.
Colion is a very, very wise man. He is 25 years my junior, but I learned from him (and indeed took notes) during this video. This guy is the real deal. I have lurked on TTAG for a long while, but the strength of this interview compelled me to post my comment.
We’re a sickness?
Hmmmm…
EVERYONE! We must dress up as giant bacteria at the next round of pro-gun rallies!
.22 Magnum? I’ll admit, I do not like the standard .22 rimfire in any situation short of introducing newbies to firearms, but am a staunch believer that there are too few guns chambered for .22 magnum. I might need to look further into this.
Chris Hayes can’t stay on-message over a one-week period.
First, he can’t read basic stats and concludes this means gun sales are slowing (when, at most, it means a smaller percentage of a larger group, a net increase): http://video.msnbc.msn.com/all-in-/51709443#51709443
Now he claims that gun sales are at an all-time high.
One wonders what goes on in that adorable little tousled head of his….
Didn’t look to me that the mafg. was targeting 5 year olds. Maybe 10 year olds. And they were supervised the entire time. Plain stupidity with this liberal.
Because a parent is negligent guns should be banned. Why doesn’t the media sensationalize house fires started by children, or accidental deaths of children caused by drowning, etc. If this child had accidentally used a crossbow, would they be talking about banning those too? The media is the enemy. Americans have been hypnotized. It’s time to wake up and remember that his county was FOUNDED on Liberty and Freedom.
I’m not a big fan of those rocker-style frame locks. They don’t lock up nicely when they get dirty, and I don’t baby my EDC knives.
In only five short years, he’s gone from “it’s all George Bush’s fault” to “it’s all America’s fault.” I call that progress.
“Everyone’s out of step but my son Barack.” Ann Dunham.
Nope, you guys can’t show this! Haven’t you heard from Chris, Jericho, and their friends? This is SEXIST to show this gun, because there are some women who like black, FE, and OD Green. How can you expect to get more women into shooting with such blatantly condescending sexism?!
“I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common-sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people.”
Let’s start with the police and government agencies, who have murdered more innocent people than private citizens could ever hope to.
well that’s six minutes I’ll never get back….
B— S— just because you say its so doesn’t make it so. Prove It!
Drones, Patriot Act, National Defense Authorization Act 0f 2012, Homeland Security and gun control. Police who act like Sturmabteilung (SA Brown shirts).
Homeland Security purchased 1.6 BILLON rounds of ammo for what? I see they are purchasing another 200 million rounds.
I will not go quietly into the night!
