Every time something like this happens, we feel the push come up all over again, and we know that if we don't fight back. He WILL come to take them.
Freedom isn't free. You have to constantly fight for it.

He will? Well this sounds impressive; tell me more. Is he like the reverse of Santa Claus, for guns?
Obama is just talking to say something. Not only do the GOP have control of Congress, there wasn't enough support among the Democrats in Congress to pull off anything major when they didn't.
This is just weak political theater that triggers histrionics like some perverse Pavlovian response from people on both sides of the aisle.
Democrats: "OMG OMG We gotta do something!"
Republicans: "OMG OMG They're gonna do something!"

But this is getting ridiculous. People in this country may be nuts, but it's stretching the bounds of belief that they are that nuts, and since guns don't shoot themselves, and we know about Fast and Furious the aims of which were to create the need to restrict gun ownership ... well, I'm starting to think there is something more than random acts of violence afoot.

This nation should never ban firearms, as the purpose of that right is not to defend ourselves from crazy people, but instead allow the people to uproot tyrannical government.
While I don't agree with the nutbag Right-Wing that Obama and the Left are coming for our guns, I can agree that we need to protect the 2nd as passionately as we can.

What does Right or Left, have to do with our Constitutional rights?

There is no single reason for the second amendment.
It was the founders version of the swiss army knife.
It has multiple uses.

Then you have never read the constitution. There is only one purpose of the militia and the 2nd amendment. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
So you're admitting our current form of corrupt government is a farce, but yet you constantly support one side over the other?
Explain!
Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and congress members. So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over. … The incumbents, Democrats and Republicans, look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves. Somebody’s who’s already in Congress has a lot more to sell to an avid contributor than somebody who’s just a challenger.
