Inside "sources" warn of imminent BHO anti-2AM action

[Tarn_Helm]

"Storm Warning! Obama Will Attack . . . "

Gun writer Michael Bane at his blog, and Jim Shepherd, at the SHOOTING WIRE (scroll down to New Tactics Needed), are reporting similar rumors today.

That blogger is a drama queen.

Im going to use the tinfoil hat on this one. All I see is wild speculation.

[odysseus]

A little early to be calling the game on this.

However I am of no doubt Obama with Pelosi and the Dems controlling Congress will push something, certainly a renewed AWB with who knows what inside of it. Whether it is successful is another story, but I am convinced something is coming in his term. Maybe not in 2009, but we got him at least until 2012.

Wow, he'd actually be a man of his word then. He stated at a Violence Policy Center (http://www.vpc.org) Fund Raiser that reinstatement of the AW ban would be his first priority when he took office. Not to mention, he also said that within the first year he would work on a national no carry law, a one gun a month limit (and we thought 1 handgun every 30 days was nuts,) and a ban on all semi-automatic guns.

He has to mail me my hope and change first... he promised...

I hope the skeptics on this turn out to be right.

It would indeed be wonderful if the links I supplied turn out to be nothing more than "drama" and "wild speculation."

Unfortunately, if the "drama" ends up infringing 2nd Amendment rights through legislation and regulation, then the "wild speculation" will have transformed itself in hindsight into a brilliantly prophetic reading of the actual political landscape.

At this point, I have to agree that "our only rational hope is that Obama's term will be such a fiasco that he will not get a second term--but not such a fiasco that the country will be irreparably damaged."

I wonder if the "inside source" is actually inside his pants, specifically the booty-hole region.

Yeah, and isn't he supposed to make my car payment and pay my rent?

[CalNRA]

first things first. He hasn't paid for my gasoline bills yet. I thought he sympathized with the high gas prices we were paying and wanted to help, I mean he said he understood the pain of working class people?

Micheal Bane is a BA and has one of the coolest jobs ever if you ask me, but I think this is more of a ploy to get us to donate to the NRA more than anything. I think a crap load of people would be majorly pissed if an AWB were signed into affect. Pissed off enough to get violent. If they decide to pass an AWB, its their funeral.

[CalNRA]

first off I'm not employed by NRA at all, neither at the national level nor at the state level.

but if anything we don't need a "ploy" to realize that this is the time to donate to defend our 2nd amendment rights.

and second, last time the AWB got passed no one got violent and just took it. So this thinly veiled attack on the NRA is a poor attempt to spin the situation.

I usually know acronyms, but not this one in this context.

I thought "BA" was baccalaureus artium.

What is a "BA" in the context of your comment?

Obama is not a friend of the second amendment, but speculation based on anonymous or fabricated claims is not going to do anything but fuel the current panic situation.

So what? They did it before, and do it all the time in other ways here in Cali and elsewhere. No one is going to get "violent", that's a lot of tough-guy-internetz talk. An AWB bill is coming, when and what details who knows - but I wouldn't be betting it isn't by 2012.
