I completely misread the President’s position on civilian disarmament. I thought gun control was the “third rail” of American politics. Hoo-boy was I wrong. I hope TTAG’s coverage of the ongoing fight to defend and extend Americans’ Constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms has made up for my myopia. In any case, lesson learned. But is it lesson learned for President Obama? Click here to check out the pro-gun control events promoted by barackobama.com scheduled for this very day. Is this just face saving anti-gun agitprop? Or is the President serious when he called the Senate defeat “round one”? Is Obama coming for your guns?

I hope everyone here sent them a nice twitter message…I did.
Yes, yes he is.
Yup, positive, roger dodger, that is an affirmative!
We forgive you Robert, but you can go back and check.
I told you so…
Ok moving on, now what?
Yep. No brainer.
I didn’t think he would, either. Gave him way too much credit for common sense and respect for the Constitution. (Yes, I should have known better.)
I think in a lot of ways, gun control really is the third rail. Even the party that believes in gun control by default couldn’t pull itself together enough to do anything at a national level. They blitzkrieged a couple of states that were ripe for conquest, but their prohibitionist nonsense went down in flames almost everywhere else.
All their emotional pandering and waving the bloody shirt only succeeded in polarizing the debate even more than it already was — and I’m pretty sure it also drove away a fair number of people who might once have supported them. Their behavior has been sickening.
And yes, Obama still is coming for our guns. He’ll keep trying to chip away at it, and when the White House is finally rid of him, he’ll keep right on rolling with his presidentially capitalized superPAC.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’m one liberal (yes, still a liberal, but in the classic sense, not the insane progressive sense) who will never vote for a Democrat again. Thanks for helping me make up my mind, Obama (no, really). I would never have said this before, but I mean it now: MOLON LABE.
Hearing statements like this gives me hope for 14′ midterms.
Just hope another mass shooting dont happen before then.
Anyone have a problem with police searching your house, but it’s for your safety? I think the police could widen their search if they could be assured the average homeowner is safe and not subject to being taken hostage.
Of course he is. Barack is convinced of his omniscience. He is a true believer in himself. He won’t let go of our guns, ever. If you watched his dramatic portrayal of “King Lear” after the decisive Senate votes, you already know that.
The jug-eared punk won’t take no for an answer, and he’s willing to kill thousands to impose his will on America. Keep your powder dry, my brothers. You’re gonna need it.
Come on, ralph. Making fun of his ears detracts from your (often valid and well spoken) arguments.
Lets be better than that.
How can you take him seriously with Earrrrrrrrrrs like that!
You can schedule as many events as you want. Getting people to actually show up or participate is an entirely different story.
Him? No. Liberal progressive police chiefs, the ATF, and various other cronies? Yes. BHO has made gun violence and civilian disarmament to be cornerstones of his administration.
True. He’ll be safe at home, surrounded by men with guns. Lots and lots of guns.
Here’s Obama’s game plan: take people’s guns, money, and private property — anything to keep them from being self-reliant. Substitute this with government subsistence. Break their businesses & family and shame them out of their beliefs & convictions — anything to keep them from thinking differently than the ruling class. Substitute this with “common sense” and “fairness”.
Three words: Long gun Registry
Blatantly illegal, did it anyway.
The current White House can and will do whatever it damn well pleases.
What have we learned:
1) He is a “true believer” rather than merely a “politician.” True believers are dangerous because practical concerns don’t matter.
2) He has been hurt, and a wounded true believer is a dangerous true believer. We saw his tantrum after the vote. It’s personal to him now.
i admit, i was complacent too.
but, Yes.
I made this comment today that a lot of people will become gun owners soon in the Boston area. After their 12 week wait for a LTC and hope they do not get any restrictions.
bwaaahahahahahahaha 🙂
In his mind, he sees absolutely no reason not to.
There isn’t a single behavior he has exhibited to demonstrate that he respects the 2nd Amendment.
His speeches after the vote were absolutely deplorable. He marginalized and dehumanized the pro-2A community. His civil disarmament campaign has been resorting to lies and emotional manipulation while ignoring the data and facts.
He has been a monster.
Why call out his disrespect for the 2A. He hasn’t exactly been an ardent supporter of the 1st Amendment either.
He really sees our Constitution and BOA as obstacles in his path. Nothing more.
I’ve heard Talking Heads Refering to the Perps as Caucasions because their Homeland is near the Caucas Mtns (while still calling them Home Grown Terrorists
So much for blatant Propaganda
Again I STRONGLY urge the readership to study what is commonly called The Spanish Civil War using material generated prior to 1964.
When the Communists, whose salute was a raised clenched fist captured an area they first confiscated all arms. Next money, then food was confiscated and then clothes and shoes were taken. After all had been stolen the population was executed. The Communist Manifesto and the CPUS Manifesto (1922, Chicago) are also excelent referances as a guide to what is befalling America. The Jihad and The Caliphate are also important conciderations but they are not the Ultimate Goal of TPTB of course only total war will eliminate the threat posed by Jihad and that will follow soon enough, IF America falls to Obama.
Is Jerry Sandusky a serial pedophile?
Wow, quoting Faux News for real facts? Crazy
Would you prefer we get all of our news from the Communist News Network or MSLSD? TRUTHY?
Lol. This was hilarious. A needed laugh.
It is very telling that the most anti-liberal in the White House can be called all these names. I voted for him twice, and he still won’t do anything liberal. He’s more conservative than Reagan ever was.
Once again you’ve unintentionaly proventhat the average Liberal is a victim of a pathalogical mental illness
AWESOME !!!
Oh wow – makes total sense – see if you just had a gun you’d be able to defend against a suicide bomber with a bomb vest or an improvised explosive device you discovered because if you shot it…oh wait…
Time to consolidate our gains,identify our weaknesses and shortcomings and address same.We must put aside what divides us. The national,state and local pro 2A organizations need to gather in every freedom loving gun owner, old,young,male ,female without regard to color ,creed and status. This fight is about so much more than just guns,our way of life is under attack and we need to repel and vanquish the attackers. Remember, progressives are just good Marxists without Marx. Political power does indeed come out of the barrel of a gun.
Alright, who ate the last of the Thin Mints?!!!
Margaret Thatcher, how we miss your style already!
It’s ok grandma, guns make me feel that same way too.
The Elderly: They will shoot you with a smile.
Ethel shows the other nursing home residents her version of social security.
A$$-Hat
This little baby is to help me get to my rifle.
“…and that’s when I hauled out this here .44 like this, and I said, ‘Son, if’n you wanna run around buck-ass nekkid, you go right ahead, but you climb right back outta that window before I get your blood all over my carpet’. And mister, he done it. You never seen a nekkid man climb down a tree so fast…”
I used to think Joe was drinking the Kool Aide, now Im without a doubt sure he is the fvcker spiking it.
The people who use the weapons, kill. They pull the triggers. Go hug a tree.
I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned this, and sure someone has, but we, the Pro-2A crowd, could go to these events and either protest them, or subvert them (IE turn them into Pro-2A rallies). That’d show the president that we aren’t out of this fight either and we’re in fact taking it to him. Just a thought.
While we wait for the cops, let’s talk about Jesus.
Looks like he divided the total number of denials by 13 years and got 78,100+ which he rounded to 80,000

We won this last round. Time for a tactical reload, get to full capacity and prepare for the next onslaught.
Gonna be a great day when this fool is out of office.
I started wrtiting, texting, emailing & posting that BHO was going to try to take guns (confiscation) at some point, by 2008-2011 most people just laughed at me…well, the cats out of the bag now, this is a generational shift into the future to take away gun rights and maybe try to vote away the 2nd Amd…I put nothing past the progs, that inlcudes 5th column, false flags, etc.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I laugh when people call LEO’s / soldiers “brave”. There’s nothing brave about hundreds of heavily armed men going after ONE guy.
Joe Biden worked towards the death of the victims of the Boston Bomb
Recall he swore an oath to protect Americans from harm
I’ve had my 4″ ss GP-100 for about 20 years now and it has never disappointed. I have well over 6000 rounds (mostly handloaded) and it has only gotten better with use. That sort of notchy long DA pull will smooth considerably after 3,000 rounds and the SA seems crisper as well. Mine now sports Trijicon night sights and has had a Hogue finger groove Coco-Bolo for years. The old panel/rubber grips were lousy pointers as on the SP-101’s. Hogues fix the angle to make them more natural pointers. Apparently, Ruger thought the same thing eventually. The only other .357 I enjoyed nearly much was a Colt King Cobra which I stupidly let go in a trade… Just keep putting the rounds through your GP-100 and your diligence will be rewarded with a smoother trigger. Same thing applies to the .357 SP-101 as well.
Now we both just crapped ourselves, only, I have depends
“I knew Grammy could handle the big ‘guns'”.
But. But. But…..
Only the police are allowed to have guns in that area!
In all the years (20+?) they’ve been doing it (I think as many as ABQ) and now that it’s legal there’s a violent incident?
