What flavor was the kool-aid you drank? This is not a conspiracy, genius, this is trying to get rammed right now and is FACT!! Ergo, not a conspiracy. Trying to ban weapons, is in fact trying to take guns, to argue otherwise is to be delusionally ignorant. Closing loopholes all depends on how he goes about it. It could be a good thing, or could be a very bad thing open to abuse and labeling almost everyone as "unfit to own a firearm". I see a whole lot wrong with this! You should use the common sense and logic that you profess others should use. Not YOU or the PREZ or anyone else has the authority to INFRINGE on anyones personal rights and the exclusion of any firearms is an INFRINGEMENT. Lawful gun owners have not committed any crime, and are being punished like they have! If Obama was serious about reducing crime he would: 1. Use prisons for violent offenders, those who attempt to cover up crimes and white collar criminals that steal hundreds of thousands of dollars ONLY. 2. Increase the amount of Law Enforcement personnel so they can have a 5 minute or less response time as opposed to a half hour or more response time. Punish or fire those that shirk thier duties and replace. 3. Stiffer laws for those found guilty of breaking the law. People found guilty of 1st degree premeditated murder should get life minimum. 4. Truth in sentencing, if you get charged with life you serve life. not serve 5 and get released to reoffend, there would be plenty of room in existing prisons if we stopped throwing people in jail for offenses such as smoking a joint. With all the things that have come out of late (Bengazi, Fast & Furious etc.) this president needs to be impeached, not gutting the 2nd amendment. He is already acting like a dictator, issuing decrees and not going through the congress like he should. I fear the only way this is going to be fixed is to remove the whole lot of them and make any type of lobbying of representatives illegal.

I don't know, maybe:
A. Learn to spellz
B. Learn how a law becomes a law?
C. Get your facts from a factual website?
D. Link your sources?

Speaking of not reading, this thread is about Obama using children to push his agenda not the gun control issue itself. So I fail to see what fact on this topic I am missing in both your link and your last post. Can you fill me in on what I am missing?
There are plenty of people who have made comment on the subject I posted which by the way go hand in hand. I fail to see you pointing them out. Why is that? Because they agree with you? Because they add to your ridiculous argument? The link I posted stands, obviously the bandwagon doesn't like the real truth!

I chose not to address them as off topic. You however addressed your facts directly to me. This thread, as I stated before, is about the President using children to push his agenda in light of the recent tragedies not his agenda on gun control.
Do you honestly think people will not understand that you added the link in regards to children after comments were made? That was a poor attempt at my credibility and shows you will stoop as low as you have to without regards to your own credibility.
Edit to Add: I can appreciate your views on the gun issue but I am not interested in this conversation in this thread. If you would like to continue that conversation feel free to have it with one of the other members who would like to discuss it. I have not nor will I report it for being off topic but please keep it civil.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this, people do NOT need assault rifles, nor high-capacity ammo clips and the background checks need a good overhaul!

Worry not, lol I intended for the issues to be separate, but I also understand this is an almost impossibility. As I stated in my last post, I am not going to worry about it being off topic as they are so closely related. Feel free to discuss it if you choose, I personally am not choosing to join the gun debate as I have mixed issues with it all and have not sorted them out in my mind yet. All I ask is that it is kept civil. As for the attack on the 2nd Amendment I am furious but I am choosing not to go into it either at this point in the game. Thank you for the respectful reply.

And to think that I gave my vote to Obama in 2008, a man that hides behind children to push agendas that are nothing but unconstitutional in my eyes he is nothing more than pig

Marg, I tried to warn you back then, but you were intent on voting for him. He fooled a lot of people, but after 4 years of insanity, it was amazing that he was elected again. I know Romney wasn't much better, but there weren't many third party votes either, so you have to wonder.........

Why I voted for him in 2008, because I fell for the hope and change, I truly for a while believe that he was telling the truth, that he could change the nation and give back the power to the citizens.
