The media has done its best to make gun controls about keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and insane criminals when its always been about confiscation.
Before confiscation can began Socialists must overcome one major hurdle: How to confiscate without repealing the Second Amendment. UBC (Universal Background Checks) comes up as the only way to get it done. Once the government knows where the guns are located confiscation can begin incrementally.
Be forewarned
No less of a liberal than Ruth Ginsburg says that Roe v. Wade should have been left to the states. Thats another debate. My point in this thread: The sneaks are trying to say the same thing about gun control laws. The fact is that no state can overturn the Constitution. If individual states like Connecticut et al. can pass laws that effectively abolish the Second Amendment there is no Constitution.
I dont know what is happening in Connecticut. The media is reporting that Connecticut is about to pass The toughest gun control law to date as though its a godsend.
I do know that the type of guns and ammo clips the government usually tries to ban runs into a lot of resistence in addition to the constitutional challenges that would surely follow. So all pretenses about rifles and ammo clips being the number one priority have been relegated to second place behind UBC. Universal background checks was always the primary goal; now its out in the open:
I offer 2 answers to the questions posed by the liar in chief:
1. Because the number of dangerous people is miniscule when compared to the number of butchers in government who are using background checks to disarm tens of millions of law-abiding American gun owners.
2.
Finally, the current bunch of bloodthirsty gun control advocates in the White House should be reminded of JFKs famous observation:
p.s. I said bloodthirsty with good reason. The minute Culture of Death architects disarm those Americans who are willing to fight for their freedoms the slaughter of all Americans will commence.

During a speech last week, Obama asked, Why wouldnt we want to make it more difficult for a dangerous person to get his or her hand on a gun? Why wouldnt we want to close the loophole that allows as many as 40 percent of all gun purchases to take place without a background check? Why wouldnt we do that?

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty, teeth and keystone under independence. The church, the plow, the prairie wagon and citizens' firearms are indelibly related. From the hour the pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that, to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. Every corner of this land knows firearms, and more than 99 and 99/100 percent of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil influence. They deserve a place of honor with all that's good. When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour. George Washington's address to the second session of the First U.S. Congress
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. Thomas Jefferson
The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. Thomas Jefferson
The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that ... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed. Thomas Jefferson, letter to Justice John Cartwright, June 5, 1824. ME 16:45.
What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. Thomas Jefferson's advice to his 15-year-old nephew
Arms in the hands of the citizens may be used at individual discretion for the defense of the country, the overthrow of tyranny or private self-defense. John Adams
Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life, secondly to liberty, thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can. Samuel Adams
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it. Abraham Lincoln
I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them. George Mason, Co-author of the Second Amendment, during Virginia's Convention to Ratify the Constitution, 1788
And we do each of us, for ourselves respectively, promise and engage to keep a good firelock in proper order, & to furnish ourselves as soon as possible with, & always keep by us, one pound of gunpowder, four pounds of lead, one dozen gunflints, & a pair of bullet moulds, with a cartouch box, or powder horn, and bag for balls. George Mason
They tell us that we are weak -- unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Three million people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Patrick Henry
Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have a gun. Patrick Henry
It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government. Thomas Paine
The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside. Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them; the weak would become a prey to the strong. Thomas Paine
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. JFK
The right of the citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible. Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops. Noah Webster
If such a government cannot be overthrown otherwise than by dynamite, then thank God for dynamite! Mark Twain
An armed man is a citizen. A disarmed man is a subject. Anon.
To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens. Adolf Hitler
If you think a theater filled with unarmed people against a lone gunman is scary, imagine a disarmed populace against a tyrannical government. Anonymous
Finally, the current bunch of bloodthirsty gun control advocates in the White House should be reminded of JFKs famous observation:
There has never been a greater concentration of intellectual power here at the White House since Thomas Jefferson dined alone.
p.s. I said bloodthirsty with good reason. The minute Culture of Death architects disarm those Americans who are willing to fight for their freedoms the slaughter of all Americans will commence.
