NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre: Obama Is Ruining Christmas By Tracking Stolen Guns

[Lakhota]

By Annie-Rose Strasser

Speaking at the Weatherby Foundation International Hunting and Conservation Award dinner in Reno, Nevada, LaPierre claimed that President Obama seeks to place “every private personal firearms transaction right under the thumb of the federal government” and charged that he will ruin Christmas for young boys across the country by creating a system to track the country’s firearms:

Obama wants you to believe that putting the federal government in the middle of every firearm transaction — except those between criminals — will somehow make us safer.

That means forcing law-abiding people to fork over excessive fees to exercise their rights. Forcing parents to fill out forms to leave a family heirloom to a loved one — standing in line and filling out a bunch of bureaucratic paperwork, just so a grandfather can give a grandson a Christmas gift. He wants to put every private, personal transaction under the thumb of the federal government, and he wants to keep all those names in a massive federal registry.

There are only two reasons for that federal list of gun owners — to tax them or take them. And to anyone who says that’s excessive, Barack Obama says you’re an “absolutist.”​

Obama’s proposal for tracking firearms is actually meant to cut down on the number of stolen guns used in crimes, and to be able to trace back weapons to their owners. The reforms will help law enforcement better understand where guns used in violent crime come from.

How many times will Lakota bump this thread?

My guess is at least 4.

Criminals don't obey the law.

Please don't reply to this post.

That was one crazy rant man.

He even included that time honored conservative chestnut about democracy being 2 wolves and a lamb deciding what's for dinner..
