White House tries to keep momentum on gun control
WASHINGTON (AP) - Less than a month after a horrific elementary school shooting, the White House is fighting to keep the momentum for new gun legislation amid signs it’s losing ground in Congress to other pressing issues.
Vice President Joe Biden has invited the National Rifle Association and other gun-owner groups for talks at the White House on Thursday. On Wednesday, the vice president will meet with victims’ organizations and representatives from the video game and entertainment industries. The administration’s goal is to forge consensus over proposals to curb gun violence.
President Barack Obama wants Biden to report back to him with policy proposals by the end of January. Obama has vowed to move swiftly on the recommendations, a package expected to include both legislative proposals and executive action.

White House tries to keep momentum on gun control
Make NO mistake America, they want our GUNS, and one way or another, Obama and Company are about to try and bring about the most restrictive guns laws they can, and if our Congress doesn’t stop them, We, The People are going to face some decisions that I don’t want to face, decisions that could possibly lead to armed insurrection right here in America.
I constantly get emails and Instant Messages telling me what a *right-wing knuckle-dragging, uneducated redneck villain” I am simply because I am a gun owner and support the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights as they were written by the Founders. All I can tell those folks is *DEAL WITH IT*. I am personally convinced that the LIBBERS are about to make an attempt at circumventing the Constitution, and I speak my mind.
Giffords, Kelly launch gun control lobbying effort
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Tuesday was not just a day for Tucson to remember the victims of the deadly shooting that severely injured then- U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. It was also a day when residents could see firsthand the nation’s gun debate play out in a busy parking lot outside a city police station. SOURCE
And this:
Biden: Obama Might Use Executive Order to Deal With Guns
Vice President Joe Biden revealed that President Barack Obama might use an executive order to deal with guns.
“The president is going to act,” said Biden, giving some comments to the press before a meeting with victims of gun violence. “There are executives orders, there’s executive action that can be taken. We haven’t decided what that is yet. But we’re compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action that we believe is required.”
Biden said that this is a moral issue and that “it’s critically important that we act.”

Take a look at the facts about the recent shooters that have brought this rash of new potential gun bans and gun restrictions on those of us that have NEVER committed so much a ONE gun crime.
Ft. Hood Shooter – Was a registered Democrat and is a Muslim.
Giffords Shooter — Jared Loughner was registered as an Independent, had expressed a longstanding dislike for Gabrielle Giffords.
Sandy Hook Shooter – Reportedly was a Registered Democrat and hated Christians.
Aurora Theater Shooter — Registered Democrat, staff worker on the Obama campaign, Occupy Wall Street participant and Progressive Liberal.
Columbine Shooters — Too young to vote - both families were registered Democrats and Progressive Liberals.
Virginia Tech Shooter — Wrote hate mail to Pres. Bush and to his staff and was a registered Democrat.
Save the one exception, Jared Loughner, do you see a common thread in the shooters? This is strictly MY observation and should be taken as such, Loughner is *CRAZY* person, registered Independent or not.
In this group of recent shooters, I see a sworn enemy of the United States that was engaged in an act of Islamic Jihad, I see several *CRAZY* people, I see a couple of potential anarchists, juvenile anarchists, persons that were out of control, uncontrolled and for that I have to blame the parents.
I see individuals that are Democrats and/or Progressive Liberals, a group of people that are traditionally anti-gun voters that suddenly took up the gun and used guns to commit acts of murder and mayhem.
Isn’t it strange that the Obama regime conveniently ignores the fact that NONE of these heinous shooters were Conservatives, Republicans or members of the National Rifle Association and are self-declared leftists, Democrats and Progressive Libbers?
Isn’t it also strange that the Obama regime is going to try and punish ALL American gun owners that aren’t *CRAZY* or Progressive Liberals?
So, once again I offer this; do you suppose that ANY of these shootings could have been staged deliberately? Staged for MASS EFFECT and orchestrated by a regime that used weak-minded individuals that were already on the edge of insanity and under the influence of mind altering drugs?
Surely not … our government would NEVER do such a thing. Would they?
We already have more than enough gun laws and restrictions, we don’t need additional restrictions, just enforce the laws we have regarding criminals and the insane and gun ownership. And we might want to consider keeping guns out of the hands of Progressives and Democrats if recent actions are any indicator.
2nd Amendment: “A well regulated Militia, *being necessary to the security of a free State*, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The chief reason of the 2nd amendment is to prevent the tyranny of an oppressive government.
History tells us the first thing real dictators such as Hitler, Stalen, Mao, et al did was disarm the citizenry. Once that was accomplished, there was nothing to stand in their way of total control.
In 1979, I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic… It wasn’t until Obama was elected that I fully understood what a ‘domestic’ enemy to the Constitution looks like.
Friends of Jared Loughner have said they knew him as a left wing liberal.
Except for the two youngest ones, all of them were left wing loons involved, in some fashion, with progressive elements. They were all known to have some form of a mental disorder and were agitated about certain groups or politicians. Now, if Jim Jones can convince over 900 educated Americans, without, as far as we know, mental disorders to commit suicide, how easy would it be for trained experts to convince a left wing loon with an agenda and mental disorder to commit an atrocity?
The liberals don’t teach their children the same morals as do the conservatives and this goes along with what you stated.
Go to this link to see what will happen here if we give up our guns. It’s worth watching, believe me.

Helluva video…
Thanks Gawfer…I wouldn’t have put the link there if I didn’t think it was worth watching. It’s sure a wake up call as to what we may be in store for.
Obama has to work fast. Congress is swamped with calls, emails, letters, etc…9 to 1 against Gun Control. Heck any bill passed by the Senate is DOA at the House.
If Obama tries an Executive Order it will fail in the courts and lead to Civil War before he is ready for it.
Remember this: Don’t register anything and Keep Your Powder Dry.
100% agreed…
Obama is crazy as a loon to try this gun grab.
Most small businesses are owned by gun owners.
Most veterans own guns. Guns are a way of life in many, many States in the USA.
Yeah, my cold dead hands.
I went and bought another box of 100 .45 Auto for my digestion and to calm me down.

I agree with all said. Obama WILL use an EO to ban weapons, yet I do not hear any outrage from anyone. Where is the millions of registered gun owners where is CONGRESS, why are they passively by as Obama shoved it up our SIX.
This is bullshit that this mangey son of a BITCH is allowed to RULE by use of an executive order….CONGRESS IS GUTLESS
Believe Congress is complicit in allowing Obama to move foreward on gun control. The time has come to stop Obama and his Marxists in their tracks. Many in Congress, IMHO, are clandestinely sypathetic to Obama. Wouldn’t want to be in their shoes should any form of regulation be brought forth.
Isn’t it interesting how the left like to avoid these little fact while trying to paint all right wingers as the extremists? Anything to push their radical agenda…..
Below is what I posted on “Bloviating Zeppelin’s blog.
Fred,,, my com-padre, I hope you will allow me to do this,,,,I am tired, the numbing anesthesia shot has worn off, and the gin and tonic has not corralled the roar on my nose,,,,
I was so pissed that I stopped and bought another 100 round box of .45 auto.
My trusted and OLD 45 auto. It never failed me with the MACV-SOG 1961-1965…..
I had just left the Doctor’s office where the schedule was made for an operation on my nose to remove a cancer lesion. Knew it was coming,,,,,
I heard on the radio the Joe Biden vp interview,,,I saw red……crimson red,,,,,
Kinda scary,,,
I feel better now with some more ammo.
If this illegal president of ours starts a war, well, let it begin.
I’m getting to the point, with these FEMA camps and all,,, that it will be soon that an all-out war will begin upon our possession of sling-shots.
I’m not a martyr by any means,,,just an old warrior educated and trained to protect our USA from all enemies,,,foreign and DOMESTIC!
please,,,,,,don’t tread on me ,,,,and good night all.,,,,,,mc
If obama uses executive order to alter or remove the 2nd amendment or force us to turn over or register our guns, I do believe a civil war will ensue.
First, the feds will start gun collections in the typical manner as seen done by other now gun-free countries. Sadly, most citizens will comply. However, a very small percentage of us will not. As the collection process goes from voluntary to mandated, the feds will become bolder and start going house to house, forcibly removing guns and arresting anyone that fails to comply or lies about owning them to begin with. A big “snitch on your neighbor” campaign will occur and Americans will turn on other Americans because of a simple belief of who should and should not own a gun.
Conservatives have the outlook such as “I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it” attitude. However, liberals will embrace their own selfish outlook of “I do not believe I should own a gun and neither should you…I’m telling on you” attitude.
Next thing to happen will be gun confiscation officers going house to house in what they believe will be a huge nationwide gun sweep, confiscating and arresting everyone who resists.
Next thing that is sure to happen, a citizen will resist and either a federal officer or that citizen will end up dead. It will occur here and there, but as the sweep continues, more and more of these incidences will happen, thus starting a snowball effect.
Next thing you know, the feds will step up their collection efforts and in order to keep themselves safe, a gun collection procedure will go from looking like an administrative collection process with a few officers involved to looking like an no-knock warrant service by military looking SWAT teams.
This will rile up all remaining gun owners who will choose to stand up and not go quietly. As the violence increases, the rebellion will increase. Soon, the violence will not be restricted to the gun confiscation activity itself, but will be directed at the federal goons involved, everywhere they go. They will be attacked and wounded and/or killed when they least expect it, thus putting them at the level of being surprised as opposed to them doing the surprising.
As reports of citizens standing up to these tyrannical servants and winning become more common, many more gun-toting citizens will become emboldened. Those that may have once considered reluctantly turning in their weapons will now feel empowered and it won’t be long before they too adopt a “get them before they get me” attitude. Molon Labe will be the order of the day (Come and take them!!!)
After this, the federal weapons confiscation officers will become very fearful. Many of them will quit and some will switch sides, having realized exactly what it is they have been doing and that it is wrong. The remaining hardcase goons will grow even more aggressive and will form up squads and no longer travel in small groups. Like a roving band of thugs, they will cease to be looked upon as peacekeepers and instead, be resented and hated. Also, they will go from looking like a police force to resembling a more military look and formation. They will start acting aggressive all the time simply to try and keep up a tough persona in order to maintain fear and control. It will not work. This will cause them to abuse citizens at every type of encounter. It won’t matter as they CAN NOT control thousands of armed citizens that refuse to be disarmed. Eventually they will be killed with the rest scared off and dealt with later. We will win and gun confiscation will end.
Now, as all of that is going on at the street level, there will be those that will go for the source of this tyranny. The bigger effect will be that while some of us take care of those who were “just following orders”, there will be an ever growing group that will attack the brains of this bad idea. Armed citizens will go after the liberal lawmakers and their enablers that assisted and pushed for this national gun grab. They will be targeted and removed from office, anyway necessary, one by one. Sadly, there are those that have weapons that will become frustrated at not being able to strike back at these lawmakers personally, so will instead, target their families, knowing that this will have an even greater harmful effect. No one tied to those that would choose to rule over us would be safe.
Obama and his ilk will eventually end up out of power, either hiding in another country or dead. All of their dreams at the ultimate prize of destroying America and making it into a communist country will be dashed.
obama has to know that the scenario above is a very likely response to any type of gun control and/or registration. Overt acts such as this will not further his agenda…at least not now. It is much better for him to continue with his covert takeover and small baby steps. obama knows it is better for him to slowly turn this country in a soft socialism now, and when one of his daughters becomes president, our children and grandchildren, whom have been so brainwashed by their schools, will simply take dear old dad’s old Neanderthal weapons after he has gone on the great hereafter, and turn them into the local obama medical clinic for a day’s worth of upgraded healthcare benefits or possibly to an obama-care run food dispatch service center for and extra serving of dessert, or some other added societal benefit typically reserved for the uber-wealthy or work union personnel.
I suppose each generation will have to deal with their own tyranny. Our Founding Fathers dealt with theirs, our grandfathers fought hitler, mussolini and tojo, out fathers fought in Vietnam, and now, we have our fight, if it should show its ugly head. Hopefully, our children will be prepared for their fight when it comes for them. I only hope that those of us today can preserve our ability to own firearms so that our children will have something to defend themselves with when tyranny comes knocking once again, as it will surely do.
Reagan warned us when he said that “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction”.
I hope and pray that this will not really happen and that it will simply blow over soon enough. However, with obama and friends, I feel this may not be the case. Well, I am no more special than every other man who has had to make hard choices and sacrifice for something greater than life itself. If the situaiton should occur where I have to make a choice of being a slave in a FEMA concentration camp, or and unsung hero who stood up and said NO!. Well, my mind is made up.
I remember while reading stories of jews being imprisoned and killed by hitler’s men and I would wonder why so few of them did not resist more. After all, there were way more of them then guards. Now I know, or at least have a much better understanding of what must have gone through their minds at that time.
So, will I have what it takes to make that effort? Will I comply just so I could live a few days more in the arms of my wife before they finally take me to the showers? Or will I give all for an idea that I believe is so great, it is worth dying for?
It’s a question I had hoped I would never have to answer, but the times are coming and I may just see how big of a man I really am.
Steve, did you write this or is it a re-post? If it’s a re-post, please send me the link to where you got it so we can properly attribute it to them…
By the stroke of a pen.
By IMPERIAL PRESIDENTIAL FIAT he will REMOVE your CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS simply because he wishes it.
He is ABOVE all of Congress and the nation.

I believe this guy truly believes he’s above the Constitution, Congress, Supreme Court, and the America People. As the most incompetent man to ever get elected and reelected, he believes in his heart and mind that he has a god given mandate to rule as he sees fit. The scariest thing is the stupid Democrats in congress who are allowing him to do this don’t realize that they’re cutting their own throats. Hitler, when he no longer saw a need for them, had his Brown Shirts killed off in the “Blood Purge” after he achieved political power in Germany.
