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

[GrayWolf09]

Panic! Panic! Panic!

Buy more guns.

Drive up the price!

Panic! Panic! Panic!

(repeat cycle)


Why does this forum seem to be us vs. Obama rather than us vs gun control. The election is over. It is time to focus on opposing gun control rather than the president-elect. To suggest otherwise is to believe that the NRA has a much broader political agenda than gun control.

What's that? You think that Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi MIGHT try to pass further restrictions on your Second Amendment rights? Next thing you know you'll be telling me the sun MIGHT rise in the east tomorrow.

I'M JUST GLAD OL' SLICK WILLY WAS TOO STONED TO MAKE THE '94 BAN NEVER EXPIRE (LIKE OBAMA WILL DO). I LEARNED MY LESSON ONCE. I'M BUYING ALL I CAN NOW. YOU SHOULD TOO.
GET WHAT YOU CAN GET BEFORE ITS GONE......
FOREVER THIS TIME.

The cat with the foil hat just made me S*#T my pants.
LMFAO!

To stir the pot a bit, "sources" indicate that BO may try to put in an increase of gun and/or ammo excise taxes as part of the "stimulus" package he's trying to ram through with the rest of the 'rats. We need to make sure the GOP Senators and Reps. are on the look out for this sneaky crap, much like the ACORN funding buried in the bailout bovine stool.

guess he'll be working on the 2am thing at 3am

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

You'll get your Obama card in the mail shortly. You can use it to open the door of a bank (if they still had old fashioned doors).

Just out of curiosity why do you think that this forum sounding 'us vs. Obama' as you put it has anything to do with what the NRA's agenda?

[GrayWolf09]

The question, as I see it, is one of message discipline. If you are opposed to gun control and there is an election. good strategy says support the candidates who will oppose gun control (McCain). Attacking those who favor gun control (maybe Obama) may or may not also be good strategy.

Once the election is over, however, opposing gun control and attacking the winner (Obama) is not good strategy, because then you alienate those who oppose gun control and also support Obama (and there are some on these forums). To continue to attack Obama, as opposed to gun control, especially when he has done nothing so far to restrict gun rights dilutes the message.

While I'm not really oppose to what you're saying I'm just wondering why the connection between this forum and the NRA's agenda.

I doubt these guys' "sources" are any better - and likely worse - than CGFers.

We are a long way from any ban. Not only does Obama have to deal with serious political implications, but there are also the Constitutional hurdles, such as Heller, that could prove the most daunting.

Call it what you want to, but there are many people making a lot of money off the current craze. I'm sure they would love to ride this wave for the next 4 years. I mean, one article based on hearsay and a blog post and look where we're at.

So no one remebers what Bush did after 9/11 ? just wait, Obama will sell it as "for the children" and we will be F'ed!

Again, given the urgency of the message that we've been receiving here, I have to ask what you want us to do?

The election is over. The Second Amendment lost that particular battle (but not, I trust, the war).

Obama hasn't even been sworn in yet.

Congress hasn't started doing business yet.

No gun control legislation has therefore been proposed.

So what do you want us to do? Sit here and desperately wring our hands, wailing that the sky is falling?

There is such a thing as message exhaustion, you know. If you keep screaming about things before they've happened, then it's quite possible no one is going to listen when things do start happening.

The best thing anyone can do right now is chill out until congress or the president actually does something we don't like. At that point, no doubt there's things we'll be able to do about it, whatever 'it' is.

But for now, man, have a beer, go shooting, do whatever it is that you do to relax.
