Obama vows to keep at gun control: 'This is just the first round'
By Michael O'Brien, Political Reporter, NBC News

President Barack Obama vowed Thursday during a trip to Mexico to continue pushing for new, tighter gun control rules in the United States, saying his proposals’ recent defeat in Congress was “just the first round.”

Speaking following a meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, whose country has been ravaged by gang violence supported in part by gun trafficking into Mexico, Obama vowed to return to the issue of gun control in the United States.

One has to be especially delusional to say something like that with F&F in your resume. Seriously nutty. We have the Mad Hatter for President.

Meanwhile in Dover, DE and Talla-DE-ga...
 

In spite of a Dick Dastardly-style attempt by the Southern Poverty Law Center to spread the tar of hate accusations on the track before them, Oath Keepers exceeded their fundraising goal of $30,000 by over half late Wednesday, burying the needle and succeeding in sponsoring their car for a June 1 NASCAR race in Dover, Del.

“We are now not only all set for the June 1, Dover race, but are now also half way to our next goal, which will be sponsoring Jeffrey Earnhardt in a July 14, 2013 race in New Hampshire (Live Free Or Die!),” the group of current and retired military, law enforcement and firefighters announced on its website. Members pledge to put their oath to the Constitution over all else, and list orders they will not obey, including orders to disarm their fellow Americans.

Here's a pic of the Fastwax/Jeff Earnhardt car.

"I plead the 2nd"

You can't make this shit up - Obama uses Chicago violence to push for more gun control. Chicago is one of the most heavily regulated cities in America when it comes to gun ownership.

Perhaps, this sideshow should meet with the thugs doing the actual shooting to discuss their gun control.

Next stop Organizing for Action - Benghazi - to discuss Barry's theories on crowd control.

Organizing for Action
Statement of Purpose
Organizing for Action is a nonprofit organization established to support President Obama in achieving enactment of the national agenda Americans voted for on Election Day 2012. OFA will advocate for these policies throughout the country and will mobilize citizens of all parties and diverse points of view to speak out for speedy passage and effective implementation of this program, including gun control, sensible environmental policies to address climate change and immigration reform. In addition, OFA will encourage the formation of chapters that will be dedicated at the grassroots level to this program, but also committed to identifying and working progressive change on a range of issues at the state and local level.

Only the first round, huh Barry? Well, We the People, are in for the long fight. We have started recalling Senators, and will continue to recall, vote out of office, impeach, or whatever we have to do to fix this problem...


How pathetic a person do you have to be to try to convince people that gun control actually works at all? How pathetic do you have to be to believe that gun control actually works at all?

Answer: See Diane Feinstein.

Good points Broadsword2004 thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Colion Noir has a video (below) on the topic of the mythical 90%.

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=YuvCT...%3DYuvCTZ9XtrM

If universal background checks (as the legislation was actually written) truly had 90% support in the Harry Reid led Senate it would have been a slam dunk to pass that legislative body.

A google search of push/pull polling provides additional insight on many opinion polls.

There are lies, there are damn lies and then there is Obama.

Have a feeling this either won't come to fruition or the numbers will be small.

Two New Reports: Gun Homicides Down Since 1990s
 

Gun Homicides Down

Interesting points from the article:

But the MSM's continuous glorification and politicization of each gun-related incident, coupled with their demonization and villification of law-abiding gun owners leaves us with this sobering statistic from the Pew Poll:


The only way that a majority of the population can arrive at the opinion that gun crimes have risen in the last two decades is through the duplicity of the MSM, who have abdicated all vestiges of their journalistic responsibilities as members of the "4th Estate" at the altar of partisan politics...

Pretty fair indictment, which is what it is.

A powerful message for more than 10 rounds
 

A friend forwarded this YouTube PSA to me this morning.

I think that the producer meant to say standard capacity magazines rather than high capacity magazines - at least he did not call them "clips" - if the libs own the lanaguage they often own the argument.

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=7F1nP...%3D7F1nPSNnaBo

You say own the language and yet you pigeon-hole your magazine argument. Standard capacity implies a standard amount [if the libs get their way the "standard" will be low, say 7 0r 10 rounds]. who sets the "standard"?

I want HIGH capacity magazines! The higher the better! No one in combat ever says they carried too much ammo! Not only do I want high capacity magazines, I want a lot of them!

Own the language of Hi-Cap mags! Libs can try to label them "assault mags" or "death clips" for all I care but we should take back the language!


High Capacity Magazines Save Lives!!!!


Now back to your regularly scheduled argument!

High capacity, standard capacity...as long as the magazines hold more than 10 rounds and free, law abiding citizens can own, use and transfer them - I'm in.

ETA: IMO, standard capacity for a Glock 19 magazine is commonly 15 rounds - high capacity is 33 rounds and restricted magazine capacity is 10 rounds.

I think you're onto something! The current administration is trying to make us use a RESTRICTED MAGAZINE! Make them look like the Nazis they are by restricting our rights!

Don't EVEN be thinkin' about reachin' for my standard-size G18 Pez dispensers. :D

Lol..."hurricane sticks" - they do provide a nice - easy to carry - ready to go package of 9mm goodness. ;)

A SPECIAL KIND OF STUPID
 

TO THOSE WHO THINK GUN CONTROL STOPS CRIME:

"I really think I'm going to be getting a gun to protect myself."

A pack of up to four pit bull terriers has been blamed for the death of a jogger in rural Los Angeles, with officials warning on Thursday that the dogs remained on the loose.

Sheriff's Lieutenant John Corina said a woman in a car saw the dogs attacking the female jogger, 63, on Thursday morning. The witness called police and blew her car horn to try to get the dogs to stop.

"When the first deputy on scene saw one dog still attacking the woman, he tried to chase the dog away," Corina said. "The dog ran off into the desert, then turned around and attacked the deputy, the deputy fired a round at the dog and tried to kill the dog, and the dog took off into the desert."

The woman died while she was in an ambulance on the way to a hospital, said Evelina Villa, county animal control spokeswoman.

The coroner's office was investigating to determine the cause of death.

Sheriff's officials were alerting people in the area to watch for four tan-coloured dogs and were were using a helicopter to search for them. It was unclear whether the dogs had collars or owners.

"In these areas you might have a situation where people dump animals out in rural areas," said John Mlynar, a spokesman for the nearby city of Palmdale. He haad never heard of an attack like Thursday's, Mlynar said.

Residents near the site of the attack said stray dogs were constantly roaming the area and had attacked people before.

"It's really scary," Diane Huffman, of Littlerock, told KABC-TV. "I don't know what to think. I really think I'm going to be getting a gun to protect myself."

Open mike reveals N.J. senators’ contempt for gun owners, confiscation goal

GUN RIGHTS
MAY 10, 2013
BY: DAVID CODREA
Examiner.com

<snip>

A microphone left on after the gavel fell at a New Jersey Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee hearing Thursday shows the “true view” of some of the senators toward gun owners, and provides proof that gun confiscation is a goal on which they agree, the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs revealed in an email to members and supporters today.

Among the lines heard in the recording:

"We needed a bill that was going to confiscate, confiscate, confiscate.”

"They don’t care about the bad guys. All they want to do is have their little guns and do whatever they want with them.”

These "anointed ones" hold the rest of us in contempt. They only hide it when trying to get elected but the mask slips when the cameras aren't around (or they think they aren't). The storm is coming.

Yes. Yes it is.

KS Teacher Carrying faces prison/job loss
 

Sounds like Mr. Nagel (and some some supportive parents of students) are OK with a page from reality - except for that darn law.
(And he gets paid a hellluva lot less than Lois Lerner.)

Complete story here (2 pgs, read it all)

Includes a pretty damning assessment of a w i d e -open school from a security standpoint. Ok, you hand-wringing, ostrich-headed politicos, you want to dance on the blood of children; how many does it take until you understand that you can't wish away the monsters in the world?

that video is spot on....handguns are not great 'stoppers' and as we all know until the shot person bleeds enough to stop being a threat, multiple holes make them bleeed faster unless you get a great head shot.....unlikely under stress for the average armed civilian.

He needs to do another video for the "non-believers". I'd recommend he do a video of average police shootings from around the country where average "Joe/Josephine Cop" empties their high capacity magazine in almost "every" gunfight.:munchin

Excellent point - you can contact him here: Link

Give him some background, mention The Letter, make your suggestion. Maybe offer to help with a video showing liberal fantasy (you shooting) and reality (cops shooting).

Exactly! Of all the misunderstandings I have heard from non-military sources, this is probably the most frequently expressed. Non gun owners cannot fathom that every shot does not land where intended. I just ask them to spend a day at a range and observe. I have them watch these people who practice and are not under threat. That usually opens their eyes to a small dose of reality. I do not usually hear anything more about magazine size. Also, they encounter well mannered, polite people at the range - again, not what they are expecting.

Agreed. Here is Maryland now you wait up to 90+ days after the purchase of
a pistol to get a "not denied" stamp. What last year was 7 days, as by Md law.

Gun owners mad as hell.
