Obama Says He Believes In Right To Own Gun. Does He Or Is He Lying?
Posted by Tom Remington on February 19, 2008
Barack Obama, candidate for the democratic nominee for president of the United States, has virtually no record. We as voters have nothing to go on except what he says now. With many candidates who have been around for awhile, we can look at their past record and get a better idea of what that person believes and how they voted, etc. Little exists for the first-term U.S. Senator from Illinois but as a state senator in Illinois, it seems Obama has a past.
David Bernstein did some digging and came up with some gun issues from his past.
Obama outlined his anti-gun plan that includes increased penalties for the interstate transportation of firearms. The maximum penalty now for bringing a gun across the border is 10 years in prison. Obama is proposing to make it a felony for a gun owner whose firearm was stolen from his residence which causes harm to another person if that weapon was not securely stored in that home. [!!!]
He’s proposing restricting gun purchases to one weapon a month and banning the sale of firearms at gun shows except for “antique” weapons. Obama is also proposing increasing the licensing fee to obtain a federal firearms license.
He’s also seeking a ban on police agencies from reselling their used weapons even if those funds are used to buy more state-of-the-art weapons for their agencies. Obama wants only those over 21 who’ve passed a basic course to be able to buy or own a firearm.
He’s proposing that all federally licensed gun dealers sell firearms in a storefront and not from their homes while banning their business from being within five miles of a school or a park. He’s also banning the sale of ‘junk” handguns like the popular Saturday Night Specials.
Obama is requiring that all people working at a gun dealer undergo a criminal background check. He’s also asking that gun manufacturers be required to develop safety measures that permit only the original owner of the firearm to operate the weapon purchased.
Additionally, he wants an increase of the funds for schools to teach anger management skills for youth between the ages of 5-13. Obama is also seeking to increase the federal taxes by 500 percent on the sale of firearm, ammunition [sic] — weapons he says are most commonly used in firearm deaths.
Yessiree, Mistah! Barack Obama supports your right to keep and bear arms……providing of course it meets his criteria and not that of the U.S. Constitution. Oh, the things these campaign people will say to get a vote.

Um, I don’t know much about any of that, but do you really think there’s a problem with the following:
–Obama is requiring that all people working at a gun dealer undergo a criminal background check.–
Sounds reasonable to me.
It’s a shame we don’t know who is being truthful. I suppose the easiest way is to assume they’re all damn liars. (tongue only partially in cheek, unfortunately)

History shows that the honest politician who is enterested in the We the People version of a Confederated Republic can be shown to be telling the truth and its easy because their DEAD. Obama hung out with Mafioso REZKO for 15 years, and his lips are moving thus Im convinced he is lying, also unfortunately he is NOT DEAD further proof that he can not be trusted. Now let me share a quote with you from the very dead JFK, ” The high office of president has been used to foment a plot to destroy the Americans freedom, and before I leave office I must inform the citizen of his plight.” oops, shouldn’t have said that John. he said something about this fiat cash we all like too, and smashing the CIA into a thousand pieces, and exposing the IRS, and the Federal Private owned reserved for crooks Bank. Some body dreamed up Die-Bold right after that fiasco didn’t they. Obama is a lying stooge, but then they all are. I will just keep my guns anyway, I kinda like em.
A cowboy ponders.

I disagree that most of those things would improve overall saftey. A solid background check is about as far as I’m willing to go.

The only thing I’d support him in would be the anger management classes in school. Teach the kids!
