President Obama’s going to be starting a push for “gun control” next month, sayeth insiders - which is a statement that would worry me more if the President hasn’t been a bit of a jinx at using the bully pulpit up to this point.  I’m trying - and failing - to come up with something where his “assistance” has been a net positive: all of the Democrats’ dubious legislative successes have been on the Congressional level thus far, and when it comes to skill at advocacy Obama, well… is awful. One wonders what the man hopes to accomplish.

And no, I don’t know what the heck “gun control” has to do with the economy, either.

We haven’t had one in a while, so… open thread.

While this article makes a valid point, the thing that worries me is the old, "even a blind hog trips over an acorn from time to time" scenario.  I fear that not even Barry Sotero can screw the pooch 100% of the time.

And it just stands to reason, the one thing he would get would be bad for real Americans.

But if Obama calls for Gun Control then that would mean that he lied during his campaign when he told Voters that he wasn't going to go after peoples guns.  <------- Dripping with Sarcasm

You thought Nov. saw a rise of pissed off engaged voters, just let him start going down the road of gun control. The House won't be on board, so it will all be backdoor AG Holder, Exec. Orders....

The NRA, GOA, SAF, and states will tie it up in courts, till Nov, 2012. Than the reset button in Jan. 13.

PRAY, the SCOTUS, as it is,....stays healthy.

We were worried that this could happen since BHO took over....Be grateful we have some "insulation" against it in that we at least have a more gun-friendly House of Representatives than a few months ago. .....But, this still worries me......

He's already sneaking stuff through look at his appointment of the anti rights Travers to head ATF.
Have you already forgotten last weeks move against imported shotguns ?
