while i realize the rifle is a bit dated..maybe at a bargain price it could still be common and dangerous
maybe thats why
How does that justify the ban on an American classic?
What's dangerous about it?
And what would possibly be the issue with it being common?
Your response makes very little sense.

LOL. A gangbanger is going to hide a 10LB, 3 foot long WWII era rifle under his hoodie? Much less even know how to load the thing?

As has already been pointed out, Obama doesn't write laws, he passes laws pushed through and shoved down our throats by his minions doing his will. Like Nancy and the ACA.
This is exactly why Obama has had to resort to using his "pen and cellphone", and resort to writing executive orders, which, by the way, are not laws. Because he can't shove things through anymore, and more and more Democrats are waking up and seeing him for what he is.
Obama has been openly defied by Sheriff's across the country. This isn't a figment of ATS' collective immagination. Gun laws are not the place of the Federal Government to step into or meddle in. These are state's rights, according to the 10th Amendment. Also another reason that Obama has had to resort to executive orders. He has, so far, been put into his place by a majority of states that have stood for state's rights and defended their soveriegnty.You see, it is not for lack of will or effort, nor desire. That is where you are led astray, and attempting to lead others astray.

I hope everyone that has gun go to jail! Criminals included. The more guns people have , the more crime there is. Isnt that why NY has high crime rate?
For everyone else that aprove guns , I hope everyone have Bazookas in their houses and uses them. Laws are made by people that want the laws to help them , not the people. Guns shouldnt exist in the first place. Less weapons , less death. No Weapons No War.

This thread is an extremely sad attempt at misleading people.
Gun seizures are taking place across the nation, or do you not actually read the news?
Obama, his VP and other administration surrogates and party supporters constantly talk about getting rid of guns.
The second amendment IS under attack, nobody is saying that some of these people actually do genuinely mean well but no matter their intentions, some of them (to some extreme) wish to attack the 2A.
Maybe you should reread the news and try to understand it this time. Those are taking place on a state level not federal and the Supreme Court has ruled in the past that states do have a right to regulate weapons in their states.

I just love how everyone is juxtaposing a quote on the ACA with this, the cognitive dissonance is marvelous!
We hear stories about gun grabs and ATF raids and Alex Jones going completely mental time and time again. Hell, if anyone even mentions gun control in the slightest degree, it's met with a rage usually reserved only if someone is about to be castrated. And I guess that is a pretty apt way to describe it isn't it?

2 laws under Obama Neo, 2 laws that give gun owners more freedoms.

The Second Amendment is in fine shape (and will be for some time to come) according to the facts:
According to the NRA, 300 million Americans own a firearm, that number increases by 10 million per year. (Source)

Oh please, the correlation between firearms and male feelings of inadequacy are well documented. So is the correlation between inadequate males and buying an F350 with a lift kit.
A man goes into a gun store or car dealership, drops trau, and asks the salesman "what can you do for this?" A little while later the man is walking out of the place with either an assault rifle or a brand new decked out lifted mini monster truck. And thus his feelings of inadequacy are relieved.
But I digress back to the subject.
It's a fact that this administration has only passed two laws pertaining to guns, and those laws benefitted gun owners. He could have easily vetoed those bills and they would have died in congress, but he didn't. He signed them into law.

and i ask you again: how can a president pass a law, granting freedoms one is already guaranteed by the constitution?

You might want to check that 300 million number.
