Obama On Guns: They Should Only Be Used By Rural People To Hunt And Shoot Home Invaders

Because I’m sure that’s what the founders had in mind when they included the 2nd amendment in the constitution.

“We should be able to combine respect for those traditions with our concern for kids who are being shot down. This is a classic example of us just applying some common sense, just being reasonable, right? And reasonable would say that lawful gun owners – I respect the Second Amendment. I think lawful gun owners should be able to hunt, be sportsmen, protect their families.

“And by the way, Michelle, my wife, she was traveling up, I think, in eastern Iowa, she was driving through this nice, beautiful area, going through all this farmland and hills and rivers and she said ‘Boy, it’s really pretty up here,’ but she said, ‘But you know, I can see why if I was living out here, I’d want a gun. Because, you know, 911 is going to take some time before somebody responds. You know what I mean? You know, it’s like five miles between every house.’

“So the point is, though, we should be able to do that, and we should be able to enforce laws that keep guns off the streets in inner cities because some unscrupulous gun dealer is, you know, letting somebody load up a van with a bunch of cheap handguns or sawed-off shotguns and dumping them and selling them for a profit in the streets.”

That last statement sums up the idiocy of the entire gun control philosophy.  Even if you could manage to eliminate all those handguns and shotguns used by gangs (and no gun control law could ever accomplish that as it’s a bit like putting toothpaste back in the tube), the guns in that scenario aren’t the problem.  It’s the people who would use the guns to commit crimes and violence who are the problem.

You take the guns out of that situation and you still have violent thugs looking to do violence.  So maybe we should address why those people are criminals, and why they’re committing crimes, instead of just trying to ban the tools they use to do the crimes.  Tools that could be replaced with something else.

Comments

The 2nd Amendment is not about hunting. Period. And this socialist mentality crap IS why violent thugs are committing crimes against innocent people.

I read a letter to the editor in WaPo on Saturday from a woman that screeched that lifting the DC gun ban would put guns in the hands of thousands of violent criminals. This letter was from a woman in Fla, so apparently she is unaware that guns are in the hands of thousands of violent criminals in DC already. Lifting the ban would put guns in the hands, legally obtained guns, of citizens who are currently the victims of violent crimes every day.

Why do these morons support the rights of criminals to commit crimes and fight the rights of citizens to defend themselves against criminals? Seems like a fairly simple and straightforward question.

What is the 911 response time to a call from an inner city high rise?

The Obamas would not know anything about that.

So, Senator Obama’s position is that guns are OK in the hands of whites in rural Iowa, but should be kept out of the hands of blacks in inner-city Chicago or East St Louis. OK, whatever. But I must point out that if a white man like myself said something that discriminatory, the Official Black Leadership would pound me silly - and rightly so.

Home invaders? What about space invaders? British invaders? There are all kinds of invaders that guns are helpful in repelling.

Where did you get the idea that Obama wants to “ban the tools” used to commit crimes (guns, in other words)?

In fact, he explicitly stated the opposite. You seem to be very disturbed by the fact that he wants to protect the rights of hunters. Are you angry about the fact that your attempt to strawman Obama into a “gun grabber” has failed?

Sundown on November 27, 2007 at 12:29 pm

How has it failed? Barrack Hussein Obama is a gun grabber. He has made that clear several years ago.

The 2nd Amendment is not about hunting. And yes. I am a member of the Militia. Every voting age citizen is. And it ain’t a right. You, American Citizen, are required to possess shoulder arm, side arm, ammunition and equipment consummate with serving as a soldier of the line, circa 1760.

Guess what, 2Hotel9?

I own none of those things you say I am “required” to own.

What are you going to do about that?

In all seriousness to everyone else who isn’t crazy:

Are you willing to disassociate yourself from this “Hotel” person, who thinks that a large number of American citizens should be charged with the crime of not owning guns?

Sundown on November 28, 2007 at 09:36 pm

Charge you with the crime of stupidity, perhaps. Obama is an anti-2nd Amendment Democrat, and always has been. You can spin and cry all you want, Obama’s record is there for all to see. No matter how much he flops about and equivocates.

Now, lets discuss why you want to strip US Citizens of their rights. What do you think you will gain from eliminating the Constitution? Lets us hear it.

"Sundown” states:

I own none of those things you say I am “required” to own. What are you going to do about that?

Then, answering his own question, he says:

(2H9)… thinks that a large number of American citizens should be charged with the crime of not owning guns?

Charged with crimes ?? Where did you get that? Oh! The little voices in your head! (Explains a lot, actually!)
You know, you should brush your teeth and bathe regularly. As far as I know, it’s not a crime not to, but there are consequences that come from your decisions.

You may sleep soundly tonight, knowing that somewhere in the US, rough men with guns will preserve your liberty for you. You have my permission to hide with the women and children should something untoward happen where you live!



For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

A point I was going to let slide, Proof. sundowner already knows it can live in comfort and safety while others protect it, all the while screeching and crying about the way in which it is protected. Typical leftard.
