Obama Turns His Attention to Gun Control
For a President seeking a second term, Obama continues to act as though he really intends to be a one-term President. He is the most “tone-deaf” of any president in recent memory when it comes to hearing what the people of America are shouting at the top of their lungs.
We are all familiar with the expression about Social Security being the “third-rail of politics.” One touch and you are dead. There is truth to that. But – there is another “untouchable” for a President of the US – and Obama just grabbed it with both hands. The right of the people to own and bear arms. There is nothing more American than owning and carrying a firearm… nothing.
The USA was carved out of a wilderness with guns. Civilization was imposed upon this continent with guns. The country was rescued from a British despot with guns. The seas were made safe for American commerce with guns. A so-called “Civil-War” was fought by Americans against Americans with guns. The western portion of the US was won, settled, and civilized with guns. Europe was Made Safe for Democracy by Americans and their guns. Again, Europe and much of the Pacific was freed and made safe by Americans with their guns. For forty years, Americans fought, with their guns, brushfire wars, and out and out full-blown wars, in diverse places around the globe, and stood their ground with firearms in hand and foiled the communist agenda to take-over the world by conquest of war.
Today, American is the global cop patrolling the sea-lanes of the planet guaranteeing the safe usage of the seas by all countries involved in peaceful commerce. We do it with force of arms… in other words … with American firearms/GUNS.
Since the British military, under the command of King George, America has not been invaded by a foreign power. There is a very good reason for that. Americans are armed to the teeth.
And now… the rest of the story. …..
