Every person who is on the fence on guns should read this! #p2 #tcot #guns

This is a very good article!

Via Hotair.com:

Every time a tragedy like the recent one in Roseburg, Oregon takes place there is a knee-jerk reaction to blame the gun. Right on cue there are calls for more gun control, more background checks, and more arguments by politicians aiming to convince you that disarming law abiding citizens will stop senseless acts of violence. What you rarely hear in the media are the stories of people who have used guns to protect themselves.

Not “gun nuts” as some would like to call them, but regular, average, everyday people. People who at one time believed because they lived in a small town they were safe. People who grew up with a dad as a police officer and believed the police could always protect them.  People who never really even wanted a gun in their home. People like me.

Yes, it’s true; as a new mom I never really even wanted a gun in my home. That all changed several years ago.

Go read the rest, it is that good.

BREAKING NEWS: White House to BAN assault weapons, require background checks, limit magazines

Looks like James Yeager’s worst nightmare was right:

President Obama will unveil a sweeping set of gun-control proposals at midday Wednesday, including an assault weapons ban, universal background checks and limits on the number of bullets magazines can hold, according to sources familiar with the plans.

The announcement, to be delivered at the White House, is also expected to include a slate of up to 19 executive actions that the Obama administration can take on its own to attempt to limit gun violence.  The White House has invited key lawmakers as well as gun-control advocates to appear at Wednesday’s policy rollout, according to two officials who have been invited to the event.

Okay, before anyone, and I mean anyone freaks out about this; let me say this: I believe that there will be a legal challenge to this, I believe that someone, like the NRA or some group like it will challenge this order and take it all the way to the supreme court and they, being a Conservative slanted court, will overrule this order and quickly. This is if the house does not impeach the President first.

Either way, this is big and I expect that this little move here, will play out for the next year. You watch, Obama just hit the nuke button on this issue and He and the Democratic Party will pay for this one in the coming elections. I did not honestly believe that he would go there; and for the record, neither did Harry Reid. Either way, the fit is about to hit the shan here folks. The Democrats wanted a fight and now, they have it. If this ban goes according to this report, you are going to see another Republican revolution like you have never seen before.

I believe that the Democrats and Obama just made the stupidest political move ever. This is another classic example of the Democrats not being able to see past the end of their noses. They just handed the 2014 and 2016 elections to the Republicans. They could have done it better, but they did not. I hope the Democrats up on the hill like their job, because come 2014 and 2016, they will be out of office for a good long while. I thought they were smarter; but I guess not.

This is the problem with Democratic and the Republican Parties; they ALWAYS overreach and they always pay for it politically and they never learn. Sad fact, but it is true.

 

Memo to all Gun Owners: READ THIS!

Needless to say, this is some interesting reading here:

Fellow Sportsman:

About this time four years ago, I penned an open letter to you that spoke of the Barack Obama I grew to know while I was a lobbyist in the Illinois State Capitol.  At that time, I described Obama as a stony-faced liar who will do whatever it takes to force his extremist agenda on the American people.  I warned you that electing Barack Obama would be something that hunters, sportsmen, target shooters and gun collectors would live to regret.

In writing to you four years ago, I backed my assertions about the danger of an Obama presidency by citing his legislative record.  That record includes voting no less than 4 times against legislation that would allow law-abiding citizens to defend their families against home invaders without fear of being arrested or being sued.  This shameful record of Obama’s also included his support for legislation that would run venerable Illinois firearm manufacturers such as Armalite, Lewis Machine & Tool, Rock River Arms, and Springfield Armory out of business.

I reminded you as well that Obama was a long-time member of the board of the rabidly anti-gun Joyce Foundation.  As a member of the Joyce Foundation board, Obama approved the donation of millions of dollars to gun grabbing groups such as the Violence Policy Center and the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence.  Those, and other groups funded by the Joyce Foundation, are bent on destroying the Second Amendment to our Constitution – and Barack Obama was always there with checkbook in hand to help them out.

No indictment of Obama’s anti-gun sentiment would be complete without dropping the names of some of his close friends and confidants.  First, we have renegade Chicago priest Mike Pfleger.  Many of you will recall that Pfleger openly called for the murder of gun shop owners and legislators who were pro-gun.  Obama is also strongly affiliated with guys like former Chicago mayor, Richie Daley and international gun-hater George Soros.  Truly, birds of a feather flock together.

Four years ago, there was overwhelming evidence that Obama was no friend to the law-abiding firearm owner.  Nevertheless, many shooters bought in to Obama’s bogus claims of ‘respect’ for the Second Amendment.  To their detriment, they believed Obama’s assertion that he would not take their guns away from them.

After issuing my open letter to firearm owners four years ago, I received a lot of emails, letters and calls from hunters and outdoorsmen who told me I was wrong about Obama.  They claimed that Obama truly understood the Constitution and that the breaking of his ties with the Chicago establishment would move him towards a more gun-friendly state of mind.

Now, four years later, I’m afraid I must say, “I told you so.”  Obama has repaid the gun owners who supported him with the appointments of two anti-gun, anti-freedom justices to the Supreme Court.  And, just last week, we heard Obama promise millions of debate-watchers that he would work to reinstate Bill Clinton’s ban on semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns.  Obama went even a step further by hinting that he was contemplating actions to ban handguns as well.

I would advise everyone to finish reading this one. This is why I am voting for Mitt Romney. Because the second amendment is important and Mitt Romney will protect it.
