‘Common Sense Gun Laws’: Obama’s Attack on the Second Amendment
‘Common Sense Gun Laws’: Obama’s Attack on the Second Amendment
Posted By AWR Hawkins On March 24, 2009 @ 12:00 am In Gun Control, Legal, Politics, US News
Throughout the 2008 election cycle, Barack Obama espoused support for the Second Amendment. He said he agreed with the Supreme Court’s decision in the [1] Heller case against the D.C. gun ban, professed that “there is an [2] individual right to bear arms,” and appeared in campaign commercials shaking hands with hunters in the field down here in Texas. Yet he simultaneously espoused support for [3] stricter gun control measures, because the truth is that he shares the Brady Center’s conviction that the Second Amendment “is not absolute.”
This was evident to anyone who took the time to investigate Obama’s voting record. Even the fruit-loopers on democraticunderground.com worried that Obama’s 7] NRA and [8] Gun Owners of America warned that Obama’s pro-gun talk was all a sham, but Obama laughed off their concerns. Then, the moment he was sworn into office he posted an urban policy that proved them right and proved that those of us who love liberty have a fight on our hands. Adding insult to injury, Obama followed this up by appointing Eric Holder and Rahm Emmanuel to his cabinet. Gun Owners of America strongly [9] opposed Holder’s nomination, and [10] Emmanuel shares Obama’s deep dislike of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
How will Obama use the “common sense gun laws” approach to undercut the Second Amendment? If the past is any indication, he will use tragedy to justify further regulation as he did in early 2008 in the wake of the deadly shootings on the campus of Northern Illinois University. Just days after those shootings, the president expressed support for California’s “common sense gun law” that requires all semi-automatic handguns to be manufactured with 13] Drew Zahn, H.R. 45 would also order Attorney General Holder, “to establish a database of every handgun sale, transfer, and owner’s address in America.”
Have you noticed that Obama’s “common sense gun laws” all seem to end in the same way — with the registration of guns and gun owners, as well as an increased number of steps law-abiding citizens must go through to purchase a firearm? It’s just the same old gun-grabbing song and dance, which is why Zahn points out that, “H.R. 45 is a resurfacing of 2007’s H.R. 2666, which contained much of the same language and was co-sponsored by 15 other representatives and Barack Obama’s current chief of staff, Rahm Emmanuel.”
As Bill Clinton’s deputy attorney general in 1999, Holder described the outlawing of private gun sales as 3] stricter gun control: http://projects.washingtonpost.com/2008-presidential-candidates/issues/candidates/barack-obama

One need only look at Bareback Oblome's selection of Eric Holder as AG for proof of this administration's real agenda against 2A. In all fairness, if I were doing to the citizens of this nation what the new administration and lib-dem majority in Congress is doing, I would want to disarm the populace, too. What is underway, the shift into overdrive of what de Tocqueville termed the 'soft tyranny', is precisely the reason the Founders codified the 2nd Amendment as being a fundamental birth right inherent to all people, superseding the authority of any government to curtail. Rebellion is the natural response of a free people to tyranny, so it is in the best interest of the new regime to disarm the citizenry.
