Will Obama take all our guns away?

I've noticed that all my Republican friends freak out every time a Democratic president is elected or has a chance of being elected. They say "Oh God, he is going to take all our guns away. Do you want that? If the police come to my house to take my guns away, which I'm sure they will, I'll just blow their f**king brains out."

Wow. Who else here thinks this?

Also, I'm not Democratic/Republican/Liberal/Conservative, I just think politics are really f**ked up.

Re: Will Obama take all our guns away?

I am pretty moderate and believe that people should be able to have guns, but I do agree that it sounds pretty stupid and childish when people say, "if they come for my guns, there is going to be a big shootout!"

Detest all you want, but when you start spouting crap off like that, it makes you look really bad.

So how do you think that's going to work out in the real world? Do you really think you can out gun the police?

Ha, yeah there are some people I have met that could and would if it came down to it.

It's a known fact that gun bans do not work. I may not know all there is to all the links above, but I am pretty sure it takes more than one person to approve such a feat.

I really think rumors like this are a ploy from gun and ammo manufacturers. I mean look at how prices skyrocketed for certain calibers of ammo as soon as Obama was sworn in.

LOL, so a web site from "Nancy Goldfarb’s Scintillatingly Beautiful Mind" is the best you could come up with? And what does that have to do with your original post that went:

None of the web sites you posted have any verifiable references to Obama trying to take your guns away.

Re: Will Obama take all our guns away?

The repub politicians don't care about guns. They don't care how many people are killed by firearms. They found a hot button topic and they will ride it till hell freezes over, as long as it helps them get elected. Ask the law enforcement agencys in the large cities, what they think about guns? They deal with the criminal element everyday.

Your last sentence hit the topic on the head. Criminals. Do you think a criminal gives a rats ass about a gun ban?

Simply put, gun bans do not work. They keep law abiding citizens from owning firearms, while allowing the criminals to roam around in a disarmed society.

Re: Will Obama take all our guns away?

There are lots of firearm deaths caused by people that have no records. Your not a criminal till after the fact. There is no way to tell who is prone to taking a gun to work and shooting everybody. I have no problem with hunting rifles and shotguns. I've owned several in the past. In the divorce settlement my wife got the guns and I got the shells.lol, sounds fair doesn't it?

Your original post asked "Will Obama take all our guns away?" and that story you linked to above doesn't even mention Obama. As for all the other links, you still haven't shown me a legitimate one that says that Obama has any interest in taking your guns away.

How about those satire posters that show Obie as NRA's "Gun Salesman of the Year"?
