Obama Concedes He Can't On Guns

Sorta.

But during last night's Town Hall and after he signed an executive action on something that will do nothing, he admitted

So why do it?

What's the point?

Why alienate and anger the majority of Americans - including gun enthusiast and 2A Democrats - for a myth?

Some telling quotes from the President:

"There are a whole bunch of law-abiding citizens who have grown up hunting with their dad or going to the shooting range, and are responsible gun owners, and then there is the reality that there are neighborhoods around the country where it is easier for a 12 or 13-year-old to purchase a gun, and cheaper, than it is for them to get a book.”"

I want to believe even his progressive base understand this is a ludicrous statement to make.

"I respect people who want a gun for self-protection," (No he doesn't. Bitter clingers anyone?).

"...there are times where somebody who has a weapon has been able to protect themselves and scare off an intruder or an assailant...what is more often the case is that they may not have been able to protect themselves, but they end up being the victim of the weapon that they purchased themselves." 

Is this outlandish or what? You can't protect yourself because in case?

Not to mention the United States government - including under Obama - is the biggest arms dealer in the world often arming their enemies.  Obama's own drone strikes often kills more innocent people than actual terrorists - including children. Perhaps the government, while sparing a tear or two for those kids, should impose on itself gun control?

And most bizarre if not absurd following an executive order:

"...These actions won't prevent every act of violence, or save every life—but if even one life is spared, they will be well worth the effort." 

And this is the part of "reason and science"? So let's trample on the Second Amendment and destroy the right to bear arms and God knows how high a price for...ONE person? Is this the mindset and logic that drives progressives? A precautionary principle for its own sake without a shred of common sense they so dearly pretend and purport to possess?

For the daft among you, re-read the first line very carefully and slowly (if you must). Think where this kind of mentality can lead you for anything.

Hypothetically, if they decree one day 'science' shows going to bed past midnight leads to deaths (don't laugh someone will come up with that. We're already dangerously close to seeing 'Broccoli laws') what's to stop them from imposing a curfew of going to bed my 11pm?

Oh laugh will you? They're already in your home and beds and you don't even know it.

And then he wonders why Second Amendment supporters do not trust him on this. They're not stupid or paranoid. Just wise.
People are correct to be skeptical of all this nonsense.

 Let's get one thing straight and clear. A UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECK is required for mass gun confiscation. THIS is why he and progressives like him want it. No, you're not being paranoid if you think this because it's precisely the end game just like Obamacare's ultimate goal is single-payer.

Look at it this way. If there was no Bill of Rights gun confiscation would have happened long ago. Canada was able to easily confiscate guns because we had no cherished document protecting our rights. We were drawn up as a business expense filled with patronage and a business expense filled with patronage we remain.

These people will cream 'you're crazy' and then wink in your face once they get what they want.

They're dishonest and deceitful.

If you have any balls, come out and say you want to confiscate guns and repeal the 2A. Don't BS people with all this 'common sense' garbage.

Then debate it. See if you can sway people.

Simple as that.

Watch Chris Kyle's wife get Obama to concede gun crime is on the decline followed by his usual skating on the Rideau Canal. No, the most violent places in America are those where A) gun control is most restrictive and B) Traditionally, Democrat controlled.



I think it's best Obama gets off this path. He risks doing serious damage to the Democrat party. It's not a winner.

The majority of people still believe in the myth that the intention is more important than the result.

And this my friends is how good intentions lead us on to a path to hell.
