Obama wants DOJ to implement more background check

[thywar]

I'm sure this will come as an executive fiat, I mean order, to have the Dept of Justice and Eric Holder (you know, of Fast and Furious Fame.. letting guns 'walk' into Mexico) create more in depth and invasive background checks. Now I'm all for getting guys like the CO shooter who obviously has some psychological issues. But how do you do that on an ordinary joe citizen. Think of the backlog before you could buy a gun.

I hope you're registered to vote and exercise that civic duty in November.


Gun Control: Obama Admin, Liberals Politicize Sikh Temple Tragedy
by Tony Lee6 Aug 2012, 2:26 PM PDT54post a comment


Barely 24 hours after the horrific tragedy at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, liberals again used the incident to push their anti-gun agenda. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg went to a Sikh cultural center to push gun control. New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg immediately said government needed to redouble its gun control efforts. And, of course, President Barack Obama’s spokesman Jay Carney accused Congress of not enacting stronger gun control laws and said Eric Holder’s Department of Justice would enact measures regarding background checks that would make it more difficult for citizens to purchase guns.

Carney said there has been a “reluctance” by Congress to pass stronger bans against weapons labeled as “assault weapons” but reiterated that Obama “does support renewing the assault weapons ban.”

“If such legislation emerges, the president will evaluate it, the White House will evaluate it, guided by the principle I talked about earlier,” Carney said, according to the Washington Examiner. We all recognize the situation in Congress with respect to that renewal.”

Carney then revealed the Justice Department would “enhance security by making it harder for those who should not have these weapons to obtain them” by calling for more background checks.

"He believes that we have a broader issue with violence in America that needs to be addressed from a variety of angles, including efforts that this administration has undertaken to work with local communities, to try to get children out of gangs, to get kids out of gangs, to get kids back in school, working with local law enforcement in their efforts to fight crime," Carney said, according to Yahoo, in an effort to try to deflect the line of questioning away from gun control.

Obama cannot directly call for gun control. Instead, he will have his liberal allies -- and the Justice Department -- try to enact the very gun control measures he supports but knows would get punished for at the polls.

They are coming for our guns one way or another. What we need is a candidate that is 100% pro-Constitution like Ron Paul or Gary Johnson. Romney might buy us some time, but he's anti-gun at his core.

Obama has to make some kind of move politically that appears not to affect our 2nd amendment rights. If he's re-elected just hang onto your hats.

It probably won't make much difference, but what's so bad about waiting a few days extra for backlog if it prevents some guns going into the wrong hands?

There has to be a compromise somewhere.

What's so bad? Well lets see.. the Feds had been keeping track of the WI shooter for a little over a decade (white supremacist). The shrink that had been seeing the CO shooter told the police about this guy weeks before he shot up the movie theater. The shooter in AZ dropped out of school and demonstrated strange behavior before he killed 6 people and shot up a bunch more. Now with all of that going on, why weren't any of these shooters apprehended. So even when you're being tracked and people tell you a guy is a little whacko nothing happens. Who will make that determination on whether you're mentally competent? Will you have to answer ''just these ten questions to let us know if your sane, ok?'
Do you want to hurt others or yourself? Do you think hunting is ok?'' I mean really where and how do you realistically do this.. Backlog? Nobody's getting a gun under those circumstances. Before you know it they'll be asking 20 something black men and then it'll be racial profiling. No there doesn't have to be a compromise for the right to keep and bear arms.. there has to be a better job of actually acting on their surveillance or when someone who has knowledge of a mentally ill person and what they're capable of doing.
Before you get a driver's license I want to know if you've ever had a drink. Cause if you have that makes you a possible drunk driver who could kill someone.. The question becomes where do you stop?

Hey cars kill people to whats next waiting period for vehicle purchase. When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns. I've said for years the politicians have gone about gun control wrong, let everyone 18 years and older without felonys carry concealed weapons, crimininals will think twice before pulling a gun without knowing if they are outgunned. In the news how you see quite often where someone legally carrying had thwarted a crime because they were able to defend themselves. As usual politicians are scared to be different they are the perfect definition of sheeple. Dumb butt heads!
