OBAMA SAID TO HAVE STRONG RECORD ON SECOND AMENDMENT...

 

 

Even though Barry recently signed 23 executive orders regarding additional and more restrictive gun control and is now pushing hard for Congress to pass more gun-restriction measures, according to Spokesmoron, Jay Carney, we're still supposed to trust Barry because he has a "strong record on Second Amendment rights." What we actually have here is nothing more than yet another attempt by this hoodlum adminstration to rewrite history, and in particular, when it comes to Barry and the Second amendment. Because upon closer examination, Barry's supposed strong record on the Second Amendment is one that has him seeking out ways to undermine it while at the same time claiming to support it.

 

On Wednesday, a reporter asked he who is everybody's favorite dipshit, Carney, "What is the president doing to convince members of his own party in the Senate that are against the measure [to re-ban assault weapons]?" Carney responded in his typical bullshit fashion, saying that the president has been an advocate for the Second Amendment. "Well, he’s had conversations with various lawmakers on this issue," Carney said, "including those who have a strong record of support for Second Amendment rights, and I would note that the president has a strong record of support for Second Amendment rights." Oh really? I'd like some examples, please.

 

Carney droned on, "The point he’s making, and I think that the point that a lot of people have been making, including lawmakers, have been making in the wake of Newtown is that we can do certain things that still protect those Second Amendment rights and that address this problem and address it in a broader way than just through gun control legislation, although that’s an important piece of it." Adding finally that, "And that’s why we saw the president move quickly with the vice president’s assistance and leadership to put forward that package of proposals." Ok, it was enough of a stretch to say that Barry supports the Second Amendment, but to say Biden has provided leadership on the issue is just flat out dishonest. .

 

On Jan. 16, as you all will most likely remember, Barry signed into effect 23 separate 'executive orders' having to do with gun control. They included having the Justice Department review categories of individuals prohibited from possessing firearms; directing the Justice Department to issue a report designed to promote "smart" gun technologies; directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to research the cause of gun violence; and requiring federal law enforcement agencies to request the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to trace all guns seized in criminal investigations. I am curouls about something though, are these the same clowns who were responsible for tracking the weapons involved in "Fast and Furious?"

 

And speaking about Barry's suppposed strong record on the Second Amendment, before becoming president, Barry did have a voting record while in the U.S. Senate and Illinois state legislature that makes quite plain his desire for stricter gun control . It was in March 2003, that Obama voted in the Illinois state Senate to ban semiautomatic rifles. Now Barry did vote for legislation in the state Senate in 2004 to allow retired police officers to carry concealed weapons, The Chicago Tribune reported on April 27, 2004, but he was also running for the U.S. Senate at the time. The article also reported that critics charged that Barry with only seeking the favor of the Fraternal Order of Police at a time when he was running for statewide office. No, not Barry! Barry wouldn't so obviously pander, would he?

 

Barry explained in the 2004 Tribune article, "I didn't find that [vote] surprising. I mean, I am consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry. This was a narrow exception in an exceptional circumstance where a retired police officer might find himself vulnerable as a consequence of the work he had previously done--and had been trained extensively in the proper use of firearms." Then in July 2005, as a U.S. senator, Obama voted against a bill that would have prohibited lawsuits against gun manufacturers that would potentially hold the companies liable for violence committed by the guns. I suppose he was hoping that by allowing trial lawyers to go after gun manufactures, they wold eventually be driven out of business,

 

And then it was back during the Democratic presidential primary of 2008 that Barry said, "There is an individual right to bear arms. But it’s subject to common-sense regulation, just like most of our rights are subject to common-sense regulations," the Chicago Tribune reported on Feb. 16, 2008. In April 2009, just a few short months after becoming president, Barry said during a joint press conference with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, "I continue to believe that we can respect and honor the Second Amendment right in our Constitution, the rights of sportsmen and hunters and homeowners that want to keep their families safe, to lawfully bear arms, while dealing with assault weapons that, as we know here in Mexico, are used to fuel violence."

 

Fast forward to a short time after the Tucson, Ariz. shooting in early 2011, where we had The Arizona Daily Star publish a commentary by Barry that called for gun reforms. "First, we should begin by enforcing laws that are already on the books," it stated. "Second, we should in fact reward the states that provide the best data - and therefore do the most to protect our citizens. Third, we should make the system faster and nimbler." After the Aurora, Colo. movie theater shooting in July 2012, Barry said, "I believe the majority of gun owners would agree that we should do everything possible to prevent criminals and fugitives from purchasing weapons. We should check someone’s criminal record before they can check out a gun seller."

 

And it was during the debate at Hofstra University, that Barry made one of his strongest pronouncements in favor of tighter gun control since becoming president. "What I’m trying to do is to get a broader conversation about how do we reduce the violence generally," Barry said. "Part of it is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced, but part of it is also looking at other sources of the violence -- because, frankly, in my hometown of Chicago there’s an awful lot of violence, and they’re not using AK-47s, they’re using cheap handguns." So yes, Barry does have a strong record regarding the Second Amendment. Unfortunately, it's one that would seem to indicate that he's not much in favor of it. And as we have recently seen, he's not opposed to using dead children in order to accomplish his goals.
