When was the last time President Obama took away a gun from anyone?

[madinmaryland]

* crickets *

Fuck the NRA.

[RockaFowler]

1. It's coming

At least that's what the Repukes keep telling me

[rfranklin]

2. Dems get to keep their guns!

and will be issued new blue United Nations helmets while the Republicans have to keep wearing the same old tinfoil hats.

[sharp_stick]

3. It's not easy to sell

crazy fuckwits 100,000 rounds of ammo at a time unless said fuckwit is worried that the scary black guy is going to make him give up his guns.

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. It coming. Everyone knows it is.

Everyone that's paranoid gun nut, anyway.

5. I had that discussion with a deeply stupid co-worker who was pissed over the

"You did not build it" bullshit. Then he began yelling that Obama was coming for our guns!

I pointed out that Obama has allegedly been coming after our guns since he was sworn-in. I still have mine, you stillhave yours. Supposedly, Clinton and Hitlary were going to get our guns too...didn't fucking happen.

I did point out that if our guns are ever taken, it will be by Republicans in those "Black helicopters" the
deranged NRA members rant about and how we need our guns to stop them!

6. I have a little .22 pistol but now I can't find it.

I think Obama must have snuck into my house while I was out and taken it. That's the only reasonable explanation.

7. Fortunately he is not listening to all the posters on DU. nt

[SickOfTheOnePct]

8. Technically, the last time was probably

Osama bin Laden's gun. But I have no problem with that.

[riverwalker]

9. Osama Bin Ladin n/t

10. You obviously don't know how a slippery slope works.

See, because he mentioned some reservations about assault weapons, this means that he's thinking about regulating guns. Because he's thinking about regulating guns and seems to be advocating such a position, we can assume this is his desire. If this is his desire, then no doubt he desires to put a limit on our "well regulated militia." If he desires to do, has executive power to exercise, then this means he's only one step away from doing so. If he's one step away, then once that one step goes away, he's right there. Since he's right there, then it's as if he's already taking our guns away.

Now, since he desires to take our guns away and has already begun this process, and because he's also a socialist-corporatist, which means he's a fascist, then we can see where this is all going--conservatives will be sent to concentration camps in his second term. This means that as a conservative you need to stock up on firearms while you can before it's too late.

"Don't tread on me."

When did we stop teaching basic logic in grade, secondary, and college education?

11. He hasn't. But this isn't the source of the NRA's opinion of him.

He was anti-gun in the Illinois senate, he's on the record as being anti-gun, and the Democratic Party has an anti-gun plank in the party platform.

So the NRA being against him in 2008 is perfectly reasonable. The logical underpinnings of their arguments maybe be a tad, um, hysterical, but expecting him to do something about guns, especially after the massive Democratic majorities in 2008, was entirely reasonable. A new version of the "assault weapons" ban and magazine limits were entirely expected to come up for a vote at some point.

The fact that he hasn't done anything, to them, doesn't mean that he won't.





If you're anti gun, don't blame the NRA when they point out you're anti-gun.

[Mopar151]

12. The last time the NRA played the "Obama is Boogeyman" card

The NRA's "owners" - gun and ammo manufacturers and retailers - made stooopid piles of money, cleaned out most of their old ammo inventory.

That 's why they're revvin' up the new lies - I've already heard fools telling me that they are buying everything they can "before"....

[krispos42]

14. Their concerns were justified, based on Obama's record

The not-so-subtle racist edge, UN paranoia, and communist/socialist/marxist/birther/Muslim panic... not quite justified.


At the same time, plenty of people are calling for more gun-control laws. You agree, I hope?

But, if you think they're fools for stocking up before the laws change, then that's a de facto admission by you that you don't think the laws are going to change!


If you felt that national consensus and political will had formed around changing the gun laws drastically, you'd be calling them savvy investors for buying low and selling high.

13. Hold it, men. He's not bluffing.

Bart: (low voice) Hold it! Next man makes a move, the nigger gets it!
Olson Johnson: Hold it, men. He's not bluffing.
Dr. Sam Johnson: Listen to him, men. He's just crazy enough to do it!
Bart: (low voice) Drop it! Or I swear I'll blow this nigger's head all over this town!
Bart: (high-pitched voice) Oh, lo'dy, lo'd, he's desp'it! Do what he sayyyy, do what he sayyyy!
(Townspeople drop their guns. Bart jams the gun into his neck and drags himself through the crowd towards the station)
Harriet Johnson: Isn't anybody going to help that poor man?
Dr. Sam Johnson: Hush, Harriet! That's a sure way to get him killed!
Bart: (high-pitched voice) Oooh! He'p me, he'p me! Somebody he'p me! He'p me! He'p me! He'p me!
Bart: (low voice) Shut up!
(Bart places his hand over his own mouth, then drags himself through the door into his office)
Bart: Ooh, baby, you are so talented!
(looks into the camera)
Bart: And they are so *dumb*!

17. Me, last night

I was in the Wal-Mart parking lot sitting in my Prius.

He drove up in an SUV. He got out, told me I didn't buy that car, grabbed my gun, and shot my dog with it.

He threw his cigarette on the ground, then drove off laughing.

[-..__...]

18. He turned me into a newt!

But... I got better.
