If they were familiar with an obscure site called "google", they could find out that Obama has a moderate position on gun control, and has never advocated taking guns away. But the gun shops sure are profiting over Obama's alleged intentions. Just a coincidence?Why are right wingers so convinced that Obama wants to take their guns away?His voting record reveals his intentions. America now has a president who is completely out of touch with all that America stands for. These people that profess to love America - but they only love “their America” - an America that has nothing to do with the Constitution and small government. Obama is the weakest president I have known of during my life time - weakest in the sense that his “policies” are so anti-American and so liberal that they smell of corruption, HUGE spending, saying “yes” to EVERY program they can dream of and a thirst for power that has yet to be seen in the free America. o_O|||Cause everything he voted on in his past was against us having gun rights! Obama also lied about Mexican Cartels they don't get 80% of their weapons from the USA they get 15% here- You know with that lie he is leading up to banning guns!
obama don't want us to have guns- he knows he is going to anger most Americans with his radical agenda and is afraid of the violence they may do against govt!
Obama wanted to prosecute a guy in Chicago who shot a robber invading his house in the middle of the night- I guess the guys gun was illegal- Obama tried very hard to put the innocent guy in jail for protecting his kids! He lost- thank goodness Obama didnt get his way then!Why are right wingers so convinced that Obama wants to take their guns away?Obama says he is moderate on gun control. His record says otherwise. He is a liar.

http://www.nrapvf.org/Media/pdf/sb1195_o…|||he has consistently supported gun control as a state senator. He even advocated banning handguns in Chicago.
He has never opposed a gun control bill he had the chance to vote on.
what more do you need?Why are right wingers so convinced that Obama wants to take their guns away?your info is false.....he has a strong anti gun voting record and it is verifiable fact|||Obama has never, ever voted against gun control. His voting record is 100% anti-Second Amendment.|||Come on now,,,,,No politician is going to say "I want to take your guns",,, but they do say,,
I'm pro-gun, but we need safer ammo, with only 2 rounds per person, and limit guns to 1 per household, and they must be disassembled, secured, and registered, and you must pay a gun tax of 700% the value of your gun, and take a 345 question test, and 78 hour training course every 3 months.
But other then that I'm all for guns.
Liberals do not like guns,, not matter what they say.
According to the NRA Obama gets an "F" on guns.|||He does. Obama votes for every gun grab there is.|||It's usually the case when any democrat is in office.Gun shop owners always sell massive amounts of guns anytime a dem is elected president.
It is not just because Obama was elected.Even if Hillary was elected this would be no different.|||http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0B_UZNtE…|||Wow liberals still believe what politicians tell them... Obama is moderate on gun control because Obama says he is... more proof the left is clueless! Obvious its too much work for them to look at his voting record....and they claim they are the intelligent ones!|||came out about 4 days ago /
The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.
U//FOUO) On the current front, legislation has been proposed this year requiring mandatory registration of all firearms in the United States. Similar legislation was introduced in 2008 in several states proposing mandatory tagging and registration of ammunition. It is unclear if either bill will be passed into law; nonetheless, a correlation may exist between the potential passage of gun control legislation and increased hoarding of ammunition, weapons stockpiling, and paramilitary training activities among rightwing extremists. (U//FOUO) Open source reporting of wartime ammunition shortages has likely spurred rightwing extremists—as well as law-abiding Americans—to make bulk purchases of ammunition. These shortages have increased the cost of ammunition, further exacerbating rightwing extremist paranoia and leading to further stockpiling activity. Both rightwing extremists and law-abiding citizens share a belief that rising crime rates attributed to a slumping economy make the purchase of legitimate firearms a wise move at this time. (U//FOUO) Weapons rights and gun-control legislation are likely to be hotly contested subjects of political debate in light of the 2008 Supreme Court’s decision in
District of Columbia v. Heller
in which the Court reaffirmed an individual’s right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but left open to debate the precise contours of that right. Because debates over constitutional rights are intense, and parties on all sides have deeply held, sincere, but vastly divergent beliefs, violent extremists may attempt to co-opt the debate and use the controversy as a radicalization tool.|||Uh... because of this bill, just introduced to committee.
The result would be that the Gov would know who owns each gun, and where each and every gun is at all time. Would require more than just a gun license. The result has nothing whatsoever to do with the "stated" goal of crime prevention.
Result:
Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:
.It is registered
.You are fingerprinted
.You supply a current Driver's License
.You supply your Social Security #
.You will submit to a physical %26amp; mental evaluation at any time of their choosing
.Each update - change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25
- Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail.

I'd expect a run on high capacity magazines though.
The "assault weapons ban" under Clinton was a joke and people want that back. Gun control nuts are every bit as delusional as gun nuts at the end of the day.|||Obama is at best "slippery" on this issue, see for yourself in the vid below. He says he wants to take guns from criminals, I think he just passes a few laws that make more of us "criminals" and he gets the guns. Why do you think we're making so much noise about that DHS memo?|||Wow I didn't know about Google. Thanks for the great info. Now I know why you you guys are so much smarter.
Maybe you should Google these some of gun control ideas and see what party is always pushing for gun control and listen to all the people that say we shouldn't have guns and then look at what party the majority of those people are in. Then look to see what party Comrade Messiah is in. Then think about how likely a anti gun bill will be posed by his party and the likelyhood that he might sign the bill.|||Obama is a master of saying one thing and doing another. He says he's for "reasonable" gun control, but his voting record indicates he defines that as the prohibition of civilian gun ownership. If you want to know how well that works, just look south of our border to Mexico. There's no better illustration of the old bumper sticker motto: When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns!|||Some minds are just too simple to grasp the complex idea that there is a middle ground between no regulation whatsoever and total prohibition. And some people are making money and/or winning votes by pandering to these fools' unfounded fears. It is a defining characteristic of the authoritarian mindset that much of the world view is based on fearfulness rather than on realistic assessment of risks, costs, and benefits.|||Not just the right wingers - I wouldn't call his position moderate either. Our gun rights will slowly disappear though some back door policy. Directly, Obama will not just come in %26amp; mandate a ban.|||It's just a right wing talking point. Freedom from gun control. Just like anti choice. So humorous about the anti choice since Sarah Palin was just talking about finding our her baby had Down syndrome and considering an abortion and she CHOSE not to have one.|||MODERATE....That is funny
Do you not hear the lies about how many guns are provided to the cartels in Mexico from the US and how they want to restrict for those weapons....His entire admin wants to institute gun bans and restrictions...
His past speaks for him:
ABCs local DC anchor Leon Harris asked Obama, "One other issue that's of great importance here in the District as well is gun control. You said in Idaho recently... 'I have no intention of taking away folks' guns,' but you support the DC handgun ban." Obama's simple response: "Right." When Harris said, "And you've said that it's constitutional," Obama is clearly seen on tape nodding his head yes.

Obama's Shifting Positions Leave Questions Unanswered On Guns

He may not be directly trying to go after guns but he will make it hard on LEGAL gun owners. He will sell America to the UN faster than some can say, "maybe we shouldn't have voted for him?"

If you say something enough times it some how becomes true. It doesn't matter to them what the facts might be. It's like everyone on the right was hypnotized at some point. "When I snap my fingers Obama is a socialist". I honestly believe that the only way to win is to make sure that more of us vote than them. Because convincing them of something by using facts just doesn't work.
