'An obligation to try': A poor excuse for gun grab
Robert Seymour | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 11 years, 11 months AGO
On his whirlwind three-ring circus gun grabbing extravaganza, Obama recently said that, “No law or set of laws can keep our children completely safe,” but then he added, “If there is one life we can save, we’ve got an obligation to try.”
An obligation to try Chicago-style gun control? Of course this makes perfect sense to low information voters across America because Chicago has the highest homicide rates and gun violence in the nation while having the most repressive firearm laws. Does this mean that Obama wants the rest of America to “try” and become just like his crime-infested hometown? Apparently he does.
We have an obligation to try.
Is this the same Obama that helped defeat laws that would have saved even (one) post-birth abortion baby from the garbage can? Is this the same Obama that disgracefully uses children to demagogue his way past the U.S. Constitution by signing illegal executive orders? No it must be a different Obama. There must be more than one Obama. The real Obama says he believes in the Second Amendment and wants to save lives. It reminds me of the time when there was a different Mitt Romney debating Mr. Obama. The real Mitt Romney? Nope, that was just a Romney impostor doing goofy math and talking about things that really don’t matter... like out-of-control deficit spending that will eventually destroy us all.
Speaking of goofy, the skeet shooter-in-chief has been spending lots of magniloquent energy telling us — “the American people” — stuff that we really had no way of otherwise knowing all by ourselves. Like for example, “Weapons of war have no place on our streets.”
Excuse me while I laugh and take another sip of low-information voter Kool-Aid.
Personally, I have never seen even one “military style weapon of war” on our “streets.” But perhaps you have. If you have, its probably just one of several thousand illegal weapons of war that didn’t get enough federal assistance to make it across the southern border. Please contact Eric at 1-800 Fast and Furious immediately. You have an obligation to try even if it saves one Border Patrol agent.
So OK, we solved that problem. But what about having all these other evil “weapons of war” in our homes? For the low-info voters among us who would like to see more pictures of Obama supposedly skeet shooting, “military style” weapons are nothing new in America. The 8mm Mauser, .30-40 Craig, the .303 British, the .30-06 Springfield and .308 Winchester are all military cartridges that spawned innumerable variants of sporting rifles. I know this sounds shocking, but they were called “military surplus rifles” because they actually were “military surplus rifles.” But if we were to sprinkle pixie dust on all those old “military style” rifles that have been modified for hunting and call them “improved military style sniper rifles” instead, Barbara Boxer would no doubt be foaming at the mouth quite a bit more than she usually does.
Watch. I’ll sprinkle just tiny bit of pixie dust on this hunting rifle and...
No! Down Barbara! DOWN!... Its just a sporting rifle! Really.
Yes children, gather around. These same surplus military rifles are actually the inert, safer “military style weapons” otherwise known as bolt-action rifles that were used in the last two world wars to slaughter millions. But of course that’s irrelevant to millions of low-information American voters. The important point to glean here is that they are “military style weapons of war” that only look like real legitimate sporting arms and as such need to be banned.
Seriously folks, these other “military style weapons” that only look like legitimate sporting rifles are still a huge problem on our streets. For starters, you can’t skeet shoot with the darn things. So why have civilians been allowed to own these sinister surplus “weapons of war” for the last 100 years or so of American freedom? People, we need to act NOW! Even if one low-information voter remains brainwashed, we have an obligation to try to get them off our streets. (The guns that is, not the hapless low-info voters who are brainwashed.)
Of the 80 million gun owners in America, only 16-18 percent of those are actually hunters. But as we all know, the rest of those gun owners go skeet shooting at Camp David on a regular basis with elite skeet-shooting elitists who go skeet shooting “all the time.” And this is why the Second Amendment states that, “The right of the people to skeet shoot at all times shall not be infringed upon by those who only hunt occasionally now and then.”
But now we all have an obligation. Obama-style hope is coming to change America! In the new improved skeet-shooting low-info-voter America, the Constitution will be progressively shredded and replaced by draconian “common sense laws” to keep citizens vulnerable and unarmed, like they are right now in Chicago, New York and LA. Of course, the Chucky Schmoozers of the world tell us they are not diminishing your Second Amendment rights at all, while they themselves keep armed security guards at taxpayer expense.
I’m sorry. Am I thinking too much to still be considered a low-information American voter?
Darn. I thought I could somehow “make a difference.”
I had an obligation to try.
