Sociopathic control freaks inside government, many of which Bongino is certainly familiar with working deep within Secret Service for Obama, are simply utilizing gun control legislation and regulation to exercise yet more control over the individual with the ultimate goal of eroding the very checks and balances provided by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights at large. But why?
Well, without the rights legally granted by the Constitution, which are actually being illegally bypassed through legislation like the Patriot Act and the NDAA (two pieces of legislation that Obama has signed off on despite voicing opposition to Bush-era creations like the Patriot Act), then bloated government can do virtually anything it pleases. And those at the top of this bloated government system would ultimately stand to gain. We see this throughout history as certain forms of ‘equal’ government are pushed by those at the top who in fact hog the resources for themselves under the guise of government duty and use phony patriotism (or worse) to silence the opposition.

Oh the specific SS Agent in your OP? I am curious on something as I am not familiar with the name, off hand? What part of the SS did he work in? Uniformed? Undercover investigations? Or Protective details? I'm thinking the latter by his statements of insight.
Daniel proudly joined the ranks of the U.S. Secret Service in 1999 as a Special Agent where he graduated the Secret Service training academy with honors. Beginning his career in the New York Field Office, he was assigned to investigate federal crimes, including but not limited to, computer crimes, bank fraud, credit card fraud, protective intelligence and counterfeiting. His early career was marked by a number of investigative successes. Although the details of his signature investigation are still for official use only, it involved over 300 million dollars in potential financial fraud and a nexus to international terrorism. This joint investigation in cooperation with the FBI, IRS, SSA and a number of local police agencies, was responsible for collapsing a major international fraud ring. The investigation earned Daniel the Department of Justice recognition award, along with other agency specific awards, for excellence in federal investigations.
Daniel left the New York Field Office in 2002 to become an instructor at the Secret Service Training Academy in Beltsville, Maryland. He was the project manager for the re-design of the investigative tactics training program which he subsequently taught to incoming trainees. Daniel was awarded a number of commendations for his work in researching and re-designing the investigative curriculum to reflect current trends in federal crime.
In 2006, Daniel entered into duty on the elite Presidential Protection Division in the administration of President George W. Bush, graduating at the top of his class in the difficult detail training program. Daniel distinguished himself early by becoming one of the earliest tenured Special Agents to be given responsibility for an operational section of the protective detail. Daniel remained on protective duty during the change in administration to President Barack Obama and again distinguished himself by quickly becoming the highest ranking member of his operational shift of agents. With this distinction came greater responsibility and Daniel quickly rose to the challenge. He was designated as the lead agent responsible for the coordination of the President’s trip to Prague for the signing of the START treaty, his visit to Jakarta, Indonesia, amongst a myriad of terror threats, and finally as the lead agent responsible for the President’s visit to an active war zone in Afghanistan. With the successful coordination of these historic events, Daniel was awarded a series of commendations and left the protective detail as one of the most distinguished agents in their history.

This confirms to me exactly what I have been telling people for a long time now. Gun control has nothing to do with controlling firearms or making us safe as a society, instead the end goal is ultimately people control. An unarmed society is always going to be left to the mercy and will of those who have control over them while an armed society will always have, as a last resort, the ability to resist tyranny and invasions of our human rights.

That's real cute and all, but I haven't seen or heard any evidence from Bongino that Obama is planning some kind of radical gun control agenda which seeks to disarm US citizens and strip away their rights. Nor do I see any reason to believe he would succeed even if this was his plan.
In fact, I haven't seen any new gun control legislation from Obama which has actually succeeded in passing. Happy to be corrected, but I'm pretty sure he hasn't changed a damn thing!

"I intend to use whatever weight this office holds to make them a reality," said the president, speaking about his full set of recommendations. "If there's even one life that can be saved, then we've got an obligation to try."
"I will put everything I've got into this and so will Joe [Biden]. But I tell you, the only way we can change is if the American people demand it," said Obama. "We are going to need voices in those areas and congressional districts where the tradition of gun ownership is strong."
In an effort to touch on all four of those elements, the president recommended requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales; reinstating the assault weapons ban; restoring a 10-round limit on ammunition magazines; eliminating armor-piercing bullets; providing mental health services in schools; allocating funds to hire more police officers; and instituting a federal gun trafficking statute, among other policies.
transitive verb
1: to encroach upon in a way that violates law or the rights of another
2: obsolete : defeat, frustrate
intransitive verb: encroach —used with on or upon
— in·fring·er noun

Right, so a right-wing wannabe politician in a pro-gun state is written about on a pro-gun blog, and this is supposed to be "proof" of something?
And people call the MSM nothing but biased propaganda?
Get some more impartial and varied opinions, because you are just echoing what you want to hear rather than finding truth and evidence for what you believe.
People repeating what you fear IS NOT EVIDENCE of anything.edit on 4-6-2013 by Rocker2013 because: (no reason given)

Your skepticism is getting laughable.....relax....we are all friends here....
Nobody said gun control agenda was racist....so scratch that out....
The Obama administration has certainly indicated that Gun Control is far from a dead issue....
But im sure you can find those remarks in thread search if you try......
truth is, the hyperbole has only died down slightly and the campaign against gun ownership will grind on in the hands of future democrat governments.
peace out ......s

Same could be said for Obama and those who support his gun control agenda.
