Obama: I am coming after the guns and I will screen gun owners

[hulettis]

If Obama gets to appoint more people like Kagin and Sotomayor [Sic?] There could -realistically- be an upheld Executive Order for banning/turning them in.

You do realize that one of the people replaced was John Paul Stevens who was blatantly anti-gun, and considered by court records to be the most liberal leaning judge on the supreme court right ?

While Souter isn't anti-gun, he had no problems voting on the liberal side of the court....

If anything Obama's candidates are More pro gun than the ones they replaced, with Kagen there's no real record to go buy, and sotomeyr has voted on both sides of the issue of gun control.

There certainly is.

And yet, in McDonald v. Chicago, like Kagan, Sotomayor reneged on her promise and voted with the liberal justices, Breyer and company, in another sharp 5 to 4 decision.

Good info, I appreciate it.


Still not optimal but as long as we keep the court 5-4 it'll be ok (at least for now)

[Revdrshad]

I understand what you're saying about who he replaced.

5-4 is way, way too close to ensure our fundamental freedoms and Civil Rights!!

Only you and I protect your rights, in the end the courts will have little to do with it.

Come and try to take mine. We will see how that works out for ya!

I AM an Obama supporter and own many firearms, including AK's! A vote for Romney cause you think he's pro-gun rights is just plain ignorant. You'll loose a lot more than your right to own guns if that man is elected. He'll start another war (as 21st century republicans do) and you'll loose your sons and daughters. Hasn't Bush/GOP/Iraq taught you people ANYTHING? At least Obama is sane enough to listen to reason and we can work to educate his administration. Gun sales are at an all time high, shows like 'Sons of Guns', 'Top Shot' and "American Steel" dominate the airwaves. I see letters to the editors in all the gun mags every month voicing similar opinions as mine. Times are changing, you don't have to be "Red" to be a firearms fan. Don't waste your vote on a man that will lead America into future conflicts and only says what he's told to by Karl Rove and his Fox news cronies. He voted to let the auto industry fail, said he wouldn't move heaven and earth to get Bin Laden and will get us into a war with Iran!!. The man is DUMB and has no credibility whatsoever. HE IS DANGEROUS AMERICA, WAKE UP!!

You're totally right, Obama has never run any wars.

Anyway, time to dissect your idiotic post-

1. You own guns and support someone who openly has called for a new AWB and who has in the past voiced desire to basically disarm the country? Okay.

2. Clinton oversaw us in smaller conflicts.

3. I have yet to see a gun magazine endorse Obama.

4. Times have NOT changed and the socialist left still wants to disarm civilians.

5. Romney is a FORMER governor, how in the hell did he VOTE to let the auto industry fail? Also, stop watching MSNBC and get informed, the headline "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" was picked by the editor of the NY Times, not Romney. If you are actually able to read beyond the bold text you will see he had a plan to recover the industry in a manner that would've limited the power the UAW has over the manufactures, which was and is desperately needed.

6. Obama didn't move heaven and earth to get Bin Laden either. He sent a small task force who got Osama.

7. A nuclear Iran is a massive threat to the civilized world, anyone who can't see that is a fool.

8. Obama is a socialist and if a white conservative had a similar background to him (associating with domestic terrorists and attending a church led by a racist for a few decades) they'd be in jail.


Check.

Tell me again why the UN of America has the right to tell other nations what they can and can not do.
