Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn’t have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.
platinumdude posted it first in another thread got to give credit for him seeing it so quick !
I too just used the contact info and urged P.E Obama to focus on the economy, education and national defense and forget about more gun control laws which criminalize law abiding gun owners.
I think that’s an excellent idea. No pol, not even Obama can ignore a tidal wave of spontaneous, RESPECTFUL but firm emails from pro-2a types reminding him that we are watching and that we do vote. Send this out to all your friends. Get them to write, it may just guarantee your gun rights for the foreseeable future.
Can the ONE get it thru congress (highly questionable)
The ONE and his minions is willing to expend a BUNCH of political capital on such an effort. (with all the real problems we have this could become a major political liablility)
Can it survive a challenge at SCOTUS (highly questionable).
We however, must dig in and send mail, email, faxes… to our congress critters. We also must dig deep in our pockets and support the organizations that help protect our interests, IE, GOA, SAF, RKBA…and yes, even the NRA. I don’t know about you folks, but NRA tends to P#ss me off, but they are the biggest of the lobbies and can get the most done when properly motivated.
well I wrote in also ? have a feeling it will get deleted though by some lefty loone who is answering the emails !
but look on the bright side he will let the crack heads get a free ride !!!
this was on another area of his site !!! Obama and Biden believe the disparity between sentencing crack and powder-based cocaine is wrong and should be completely eliminated.
so lets take away good citizens rights but give crackheads a free ride
I find that view ironic coming from you. You considered the treatment of Joe the Plumber perfectly ok, and felt that what happened to him would not have a ‘chilling effect on democracy’.
Now I see you are afraid to contact your president to give an opinion, as it would raise your ‘profile’.
i wrote in as well. it may not be the most effective measure at the moment, but it is an action, nonetheless. any and all actions will prove to be helpful and useful in the end.
yeah yeah I gave up after a while most my money went into spear guns anyway I guess the only good thing about moving to the mainland lots more places here to get stuff and you can have some cool stuff here
I was like a kid in a candy store or a gun lover in a great gun store here
I so not used to seen SBR, silencers and stuff
but I miss Aloha Shoyu ! redondos sausage getting Poke at star market and fresh musubi and all the small kine stuff
but when I live on Lanai (I from Maui but lived Lanai also) I used to have some stuff that might not have been OK to own ? large cap mags etc…
whats funny I never registerd any of my guns ???
stupid ? lucky I never get caught !
The firearms industry is not big corporate interest. Yes you are right about them going after social issues…bla bla bla. The dems are going for the soft underbelly… first-we enthusiasts and the NRA are it…next will be conservative talk radio…then as increased welfare and federalized healthcare…did you know they want to add CHIPS benefits to the middle class?
They probably won’t get their liberal social Shangri La right away but they will work on what they believe they can do first with as little resistance as possible.
Think they can’t do it…they took away our first amendment rights by monopolizing the media-they will take away our 2nd amendment rights next…you should be very afraid and concerned-and start thinking about what we are all going to do about it NOW!!! Don’t wait until 2010. The Dem’s worked on getting BHO in the White House for years. It will take us until 2010 to come up with a strong opposition/solution-because right now we are all very weak!And as for race…we should all drop the race issue…only self loathing liberal masochists (the same ones that took the flag out of our schools because they didn’t want to offend the Muslim’s) voted for that reason-I’d like to think that they are not 53% of America. The Muslim Americans didn’t ask to have the flags removed so don’t blame black Americans for this one either.
Look to the left and to the right of you and find Waldo!
Don’t know what to look for? Watch MSNBC for a few hours!
I for one am very tired and very worried when I read so many posts saying they won’t be able to get the new bill through. Please for all our sake-WTFU!
This has been on Obamamarx’s website for a long time; it isn’t “news.”
How many people here had any illusions about Obama being “progun???”
Yes, he claims he “supports” 2A rights, he claims he supports Heller.
That’s lip service to the 2A: he was buying votes.
Look at the laws he’s supported, the agenda he’s supported. He has always been in favor of strict gun control laws.
You know I am an American too. I too don’t have a problem with having a Black president either. I too am pissed about the economy. I too don’t believe we can go down the same path. I too am obliged as an American to give BHO a chance.
I have a problem with anyone that tries to rewrite the Constitution. I will not budge on our basic rights issues and our Constitution provides for us to take drastic measures as citizens if required.
We have an obligation no matter who is President to speak up when something stinks and not be SHEEP! {my quote from A change in America post}
BTW: I too contacted BHO and kindly asked that he please not take my rights away. …now I’m gonna go puke
