I, for one, feel like I'm in The Twilight Zone. I knew that I knew he would pull something like this, yet everywhere you look, his actions are protected by a dishonest media and a flock of sheep bound to his every inclination. Obama is determined to destroy traditional America IMHO.
It's funny how the slavish, slathering Quislings refuse to ever admit, despite post after post of defenses and excuses and telling us before the election that he'd NEVER go after guns, and we were just being paranoid, that they're in the bag for Barry. Now that's he's entered his jihad against gun owners, they're doubling down on deflecting criticism of him. It's too far along to convince us of his benevolence. We do see how it is.
Really? You really want to cling to that?
At this point, I think most undelusioned gun owners would rather take their chances than have a president who openly, actively promotes an anti-gun agenda and marginalizes gun owners. Especially since "coming together" doesn't seem all that likely.
How much crack do you smoke on a daily basis? I don't and have never supported Obama. I don't believe that I ever said he'd never go after guns. There have been several accusations from you of me being an Obama apologist. Saying Romney would have been just as bad as Obama is NOT defending Obama. It is saying Republicans are doing a **** poor job of trying to win an election. Find some posts and I'll admit to it, until then...stop yapping like a little ankle biting mutt.
While many like yourself, who slam Republicans and conservative media at every chance, may not at all support Obama, by doing your best to make his opposition look bad, you are helping Obama-ites at every turn. Your goal is to seed distrust of Republicans, and that is empowering Obama.
Nope, sorry. I don't slam only Republicans and conservative media. I think ANYONE that takes the words of a talking head (any of them) as gospel is an idiot. I see anyone that blindly trusts a candidate or politician from a party because of the letter by their name to be an idiot. It doesn't matter if that letter is a D or an R. Same outcome.
I do find it funny when Republican voters (especially those that vote blindly) blame everyone but the party for not being able to pull out victories.
You forgot the equal opportunity idiot label for the dyed-in-the-wool LPers we have here in pretty vocal numbers. I've read similar refrains from their side of the aisle as well.
This is their new schtick. They tried the "collective right" argument for a few decades but had that argument shredded by the SCOTUS. Now that we have a ruling saying the 2nd Amendment is an individual right, they're now arguing it's outdated and should be repealed or severely limited.I wish!
He was clearly inferring that the 2A was for muskets and militias, and is outdated, which is the liberal argument used in the SCOTUS during the Heller case, and pretty much everywhere else. It is the official Democrat position, and if you disagree with that then i'd argue that you wouldn't be considered a true Democrat (at least not allowed to run for office as a D).
If you think it is delusional to trust Obama and Romney the same, I guess I'm extremely delusional. When Romney came out supporting Obamacare (then ended up running on Repeal and Replace) and said during a debate that he'd support an AWB if both sides came together, there was even less of a reason to trust him than before. Do I want to cling to that? Yep, sure do. I look for integrity in people and Romney has as much as Obama...very, very little. When one takes a stance on both sides within a short period of time, that isn't called growth...it is called pandering or flip-flopping.
I think it's delusional to think Obama and Romney are rhe same.
The same? No in the literal sense of the word.
The same in terms of being bad for our 2A rights? You betcha. Romney has actually passed an AWB.
All else equal, I strongly suspect that the 2nd amendment would stand a better chance of escaping further erosion under a president Romney than what we have now.
I doubt Romney would have tasked his vice president to devise ways to limit 2A rights with and without congress.
I strongly doubt a president Romney would lead a public opinion war on gun owners and the NRA, and mobilized his campaign machine aganst them.
Pragmatically speaking the outcome for the 2A looks better having a president who has only a casual regard for the 2A than having one who believes through the depths of his ideals that it is obselete.
