President Obama’s “Assault” on the Second Amendment Begins Today

  Today marks the day that President Obama began his “assault” on the second amendment. It has been well documented here and elsewhere on the internet  how the president feels about the second amendment and today he fired the first shot across the bow on second amendment advocates.

 Today Eric Holder confirmed that President Obama will seek to re-institute the ban on “assault weapons” that President Clinton first imposed.

 His excuse for reimplementing the “assault weapon” ban? Too many Mexican drug dealers are buying these weapons, it will help Mexico if we infringe on the second amendment. I would like to ask Mr. Holder one question, does he really believe that if these weapons are banned that the DRUG DEALERS will adhere to the gun laws when they make their living breaking the drug laws? How stupid is that logic? I would also like to refer Eric Holder to this article which claims that “assault weapons” are not the weapon of choice for drug dealers. The same article also debunks the myth that there is actually a class of weapons that can be classified as “assault weapons.”

 So the first shot has been fired but it is only the beginning, it won’t stop here, just read the following quote from the Attouney General:

As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons

 The “assault weapons” ban is the only specific item that Eric Holder mentioned, but when he says “just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make”, what exactly does he mean? What are the changes he plans on making?

 We need to look no further than what we know are facts about some of the positions that the Communist Commander-in-Chief has taken on gun related issues:

• As a state legislator in Illinois, Obama supported banning the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic firearms, increasing state restrictions on the purchase and possession of firearms
• He supported a “ban” on the sale and possession of handguns on a political questionnaire
• As state senator, he voted against a 2004 measure that allowed self-defense as an affirmative defense to those charged with violating local laws making it otherwise unlawful for such persons to possess firearms.
• He voted against allowing persons who had obtained domestic violence protective orders to carry handguns for their protection.
• Obama has also stated his opposition to allowing citizens to carry concealed guns and supports a national law outlawing the practice

 It is all right there. The “assault” is under way. President Obama’s war on the second amendment began on February 26, 2009. How far will he go and what does he hope to accomplish? Lets hope that we never find out.
