Obama lied to gun owners

As a presidential candidate, Barack Obama deliberately and repeatedly lied to America’s 90 million gun owners across the country when he insisted that he would not try to take away anyone’s firearms, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, reacting to yesterday’s remarks by Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder that the president will seek to reinstate the ban on semi-automatic firearms, said Obama “knew he was lying to the nation because his own website touted his plan to revive the gun ban and make it permanent.”
“We warned America that Obama’s ’support’ for the Second Amendment was empty rhetoric,” he stated, “and now Holder’s disclosure has confirmed it. Obama was lying, and now gun rights may be dying.”
Several times on the campaign trail, Obama told voters “I’m not going to take your guns away.” He said it at rallies in Duryea, Pennsylvania and in Boise, Idaho. He also told a news conference that “Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear…I think people can take me at my word.”
As usual, I am reading and hearing Libertarians expound on another election in which we didn’t get very many people elected.
I’ve been going to these LNC meetings for six years now and have been honored to serve this board in several capacities over that time. But I have to tell you, I have never been witness to anything more humiliating than what we had to endure at the last meeting in San Diego. For the first time in those six years, during the agenda item regarding Angela Keaton, I felt ashamed to be in the same room with the national committee.
“Pray for the health of the authorities. Without them men would eat each other like animals.”
Or, maybe they forgot or never knew the old saying that one should engage their brain before they open their mouths. Whatever, it is for sure that most never listen to the crap they spew out, as they pretend to have some knowledge and the ability to think rationally.
An old grandpa once said, “Son, there comes a time in every man’s life when he stops bustin’ knuckles and starts bustin’ knee caps. Usually it’s when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin’.”
The Second Amendment guarantees citizens the right to keep and bear arms - period. It didn’t put conditions or restrictions on that right. It simply guaranteed “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” and that that right “shall not be infringed.” It didn’t state that troops who were given guns and sent to war to fight for the freedom of America and the liberties guaranteed under the Constitution, would return only to be declared “a risk” for firearm ownership because the government decided war injuries had rendered them “psychologically unstable” and therefore, they would be denied gun ownership as civilians.
It was a day that will live in infamy.
Have you ever noticed how Government regulations almost seem calculated to keep the poor, well, poor?
