But...but...but...Obama isn't coming for our guns. That's what we've been told by the Libbos. We're just opposed to Obama's policies because he's black, they keep saying.

Twelve Democratic senators have joined 45 Republicans in a fast growing movement to halt progress on an Obama-backed United Nations effort that could bring international gun control into the United States and slap America's gun owners with severe restrictions.

The sooner this bastard gets voted out, the better off we will all be.
 
What do you think Operation Fast and Furious was all about?

Editorial: Was Fast And Furious A Gun-Control Plot?

Posted 06/22/2011 06:47 PM ET

Scandal: Rather than a botched attempt to catch criminals, was the ATF program actually an attempt to advance gun-control efforts by an administration that has blamed Mexican violence on easy access to U.S. weapons?

If "Operation Fast and Furious" was merely a botched attempt at law enforcement, why was a supervisor of the operation, David Voth, "jovial, if not, not giddy but just delighted about" marked guns showing up at crime scenes in Mexico, as career Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent John Dodson told Rep. Darrell Issa's House Oversight Committee?

ATF agent Olindo James Casa said that "on several occasions I personally requested to interdict or seize firearms, but I was always ordered to stand down and not to seize the firearms."

Yet, as we've noted, gun-tracking operations stopped at the border. That seems odd if the purpose was to catch gun traffickers and their drug-lord bosses. It makes sense, however, if the real purpose was to perpetuate, in the interests of pursuing the administration's gun-control agenda, what Bob Owens of Pajamas Media calls the "90% lie."
 
Here's more evidence that the Obama administration is pushing for more gun control through nefarious means. President Obama has said neither he nor Attorney General Eric Holder knew anything about Operation Fast and Furious it until the story broke after the murder of Brian Terry in a Sonora, AZ., gun battle in December 2010. The proof of his "untruthful" statement is in paragraph six of the highlighted document dated Thursday, April 2, 2009. Or did President Obama just "misspeak" again like when he mentioned visiting 57 states during his campaign? He sure gets a lot of passes from liberals for doing that.

CUERNAVACA, MEXICO ~ Thursday, April 2, 2009

Last week, our administration launched a major new effort to break the backs of the cartels. My department is committing 100 new ATF personnel to the Southwest border in the next 100 days to supplement our ongoing Project Gunrunner, DEA is adding 16 new positions on the border, as well as mobile enforcement teams, and the FBI is creating a new intelligence group focusing on kidnapping and extortion. DHS is making similar commitments, as Secretary Napolitano will detail.
 
Obama can't become dictator as long as firearms ownership is legal.
