Banning Guns - Obama Stance

Monk and crew -

I recently wrote to Dixie Biker asking for us to be aware of Barack Obama's anti firearm history. His recently pronounced support for the "Global Poverty Act", under the direction of the United Nations, calls for ( among other things) "a worldwide ban on small arms and light weapons".

This to me is further evidence of his anti gun beliefs. I am not a gun nut, but am a strenuous believer in the 2nd Amendment and, for that matter, that our Constitution trumps any UN mandate. As I learn more about Obama, I have become increasingly convinced that he stands for most of the things that I have grown up believing to be not in the best interests of our country.

Thanks for your publication,

Just one of the many things where Obama is more interested in the "world's interests" than American interests. After-all this is the guy that thinks we have 57 States; whose wife is only just now proud of America; and who spent half of August campaigning in Europe. Jeez - let him run for office in the European Union or for a position at the worthless UN.

I went to read Neal's Nuze this morning before his show hit the air and look what's leading his program notes:

OBAMA ON GUNS

Just how does The Chosen One feel about the 2nd Amendment? After the Supreme Court ruled on the DC gun ban Obama was somewhat trapped. His previous position in favor of the ban was inoperative, so he had to come up with a new position. So ... what would that be? The Big BO's position on guns is that nobody in this country should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon unless they are retired law enforcement officers or members of the U.S. military. We could phrase this another way: Nobody can carry a concealed weapon unless they work for the government as a member of the U.S. military or civilian law enforcement, or used to work for the government as a police officer. This is Obama, folks. Privileges for government and those who work for government ... but for the common man, not so much.

Ahhhhh .... But he's so suave, so debonair, and he speaks so well! It doesn't really matter what he says, but he sure says it good!
