how did he "try"?
Did he talk about it? Did he help senate house members write up legislation? Did he issue a Brady bill kinda thing using exec order?
I think YOU are sticking to the "Obama tried to take our guns" speech - but you won't admit all he did was TALK about it.
33, we suffered under the BRADY BILL for 3 years under Bush. We haven't seen any kind of restrictions like that under obama, nor any legislation intro'd that would have done this. Nothing.
We all know certain states' leaders have signed gun bills - Ask Gov romney or Gov brewer... it's not a dem thing lol..
But Obama himself? No. He was ALL TALK on this issue.
Bullshit. He did and is doing everything he possibly can to hurt gun ownership in any way possible. They had shit drawn up just last year to ban entire classes of guns, ban standard magazine capacities, and impose the registration(so-called universal bg checks). They have plenty more that this on the books, just waiting for the right 'opportunity'...
The only reason they didnt introduce the full legislation is that it became apparent it would not pass congress, not because obama 'didnt want to'.
Obama has since said that he will 'go around congress any way he can' to chip away at gun rights, any way he possibly can. Nothing to do with actual crime prevention, or 'safety' as they like to say...no, their goal is to take away private gun owership, period. Everything they have advanced, including the executive orders he made, are meant to advance that goal alone, little by little. Virtually ALL of the big name gun control politicians have been on record at some point saying that their goal was the removal of guns from society and that 'if they could', they would enact full confiscation.
This isnt some crazy conspiracy theory crap, or right wing fear mongering...it is the truth, it is plain as day for anyone who has actually researched this stuff. These assholes literally do want to end gun ownership in america, that is a fact from their own mouths, and they will push towards this goal, one chip at a time, wherever they see the slightest opportunity.
