Well, two months after the left's anti gun blobby started cheering cause of a *rumor* of Obama giving a speech on gun control, seems like a newspaper in Arizona got something to publish....

 

http://azstarnet.com/news/opinion/mailbag/article_011e7118-8951-5206-a878-39bfbc9dc89d.html

 

The meat and potatoes of it all is about strengthening background checks across the nation.

 

Some may wonder if this was actually submitted by the Obama administration, won does have to wonder......an AZ paper??

 

UPDATE: The 2AF brings up an interesting point (via email alert) >

 

“Those to whom the president refers to as ‘advocates for gun owners’ are gun owners, themselves,” Gottlieb observed. “They understand real gun safety involves muzzle control, proper storage, practiced marksmanship, and general safe handling. The so-called ‘gun safety advocates’ to whom the president alludes in his comments are prohibitionists who hide their true intentions behind a facade of pseudo-responsibility.

 

“Their idea of ‘gun safety’,” he continued, “is to make gun ownership prohibitively expensive by adopting registration and licensing fees, and regulations that are deliberately written to discourage average citizens from exercising their Second Amendment rights.

 

“Please, Mr. President, the next time you take pen in hand to discuss gun rights and firearms safety, make sure you understand the distinction between gun owners and gun grabbers,” Gottlieb concluded.

"we must seek agreement on gun reform" or control? Yeah, I agree to train harder, shoot straighter, and buy more guns! And you'll agree to let me carry either concealed or open, purchase an Thompson Sub Machine gun as it looked in the 30s, and SBR my 870. How's that for reform, which seems to be the new word for control.

Pretty sure the Hughes amendment (ban on new production civilian machine guns) is "legally unconstitutional" taking into account the Miller, Heller and McDonald court cases. Some one that is not a Class III FFL just needs to attempt to fill out a ATF Form 1 and sue now.

I read the article and after all the BS the left has pulled, I do not support any reforms strengthening any aspect of gun control. You want something, I need something, maybe a federal law banning magazine limits, evil features etc.

Had a long day at work today. That hour lost from DST kicked my arse. Got home about 7, changed clothes, ate, fed the cat and did a few things. Was feeling pretty good. I read that and now I have a headache. I trust nothing this administration has to say. I'm done with reading any anti 2a crap outside of any legislation that wants to take more of my rights away. At least then I can support the organizations fighting for our freedoms.
