What legislation has President Obama proposed to restrict gun owners rights?

FYI



President Obama signed a law permitting guns to be taken into national parks. He signed another allowing guns as checked baggage on Amtrak. He acted to preserve an existing law limiting the use of government information on firearms it has traced.What legislation has President Obama proposed to restrict gun owners rights?
None whatsoever. And as you pointed out, gun rights have actually expanded during this administration.



Edit: Kevin, I believe the question is in response to the latest round of crap from Palin and Beck at the NRA
None that I know of... Your point? Should we all worship him for not taking our guns?



Is that what you are saying? Pretty funny.What legislation has President Obama proposed to restrict gun owners rights?
Ha none! I'm guessing you saw that windowlicker bleating about Obama taking away guns too? What a silly little child she is, she just lies and her idiot followers believe her. It's beyond ridiculous.
None



dont you just love how the right blatantly lies and gets away with it??What legislation has President Obama proposed to restrict gun owners rights?
How many supporters of ACORN need these kinds of lattitudes or at least are use to having them anyway?
none, not one.



this is just a right wing talkie point.



in fact, the NRA won't let members carry firearms into their meetings...
Easy, None. In fact, President Obama has not proposed any legislation. You see, if you read the first two articles of the Constitution, he is unable to have anything to do with legislation. That was an easy question.
Give him time, once he forms the Obama youth, his version of the SS, and his version of the gestapo, it wont take long to disarm us all.
I think you be mistaken

but regardless,

my guns are locked in my safe
He hasn't that is just another Glenn Beck lie that has been proven to be false.
Good question... he has actually permitted a larger area to possess firearms. The thing though is that anti-Obama people will not face reality and will demonize him in everything. I don't have a problem with people disliking Obama but like any other leader he will sometimes side with the so-called opposition... that's reality. I didn't like Bush that much but he did have policies I agreed with.
Hilary signed a treaty in the UN that outlaws private ownership of firearms. Obama loves this, as he can claim the UN has made legislation problematic for 'change'..the American Republic ( the real people, not Lemmings)would explode in rage and demand impeachment.
Good. It looks like has has actually done some good on 1 issue out of 1,000. Maybe he actually doesn't have a problem with guns, but more likely, I am sure he dislikes them like almost all other liberals do, but knows that to try to restrict them is a battle that can never be won in this country. Throwing a few scraps to the conservatives...just appeasement.
Why in the world does anyone need a gun in a national park? It's not like they're going to let you shoot your food or anything. And woopee, guns in checked baggage. Hope they're doing background checks on the people who work in baggage (and I don't mean criminal, I mean citizenship).



Just thought I'd give the anti-gun people something to fear about the guy they support.



But about your question: You're smarter than this. Obama has to stack the Court first.
none that have had my dad all in tizzy. He was beside himself when Obama was elected...lol He's alittle extreme about his gun rights. I love the mail flyers that NRA send out OBAMA IS COMING FOR YOUR GUNS!!!! They get him in an uproar...lol

Sorry i had nothing intelligent to add to this question..lol
Eric Holder is his point man and one of his first acts was an attempt to limit ammunition supplies. A gun is worthless without ammo.



"Responding to two Democratic senators representing outraged private gun owners, the Department of Defense announced last night it has scrapped a new policy that would deplete the supply of ammunition by requiring destruction of fired military cartridge brass.

The policy already had taken a bite out of the nation's stressed ammunition supply, leaving arms dealers scrambling to find ammo for private gun owners.



Mark Cunningham, a legislative affairs representative with the Defense Logistics Agency, explained in an e-mail last night to the office of Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., that the Department of Defense had placed small arms cartridge cases on its list of sensitive munitions items as part of an overall effort to ensure national security is not jeopardized in the sale of any Defense property.



The small arms cases were identified as a senstive item and were held pending review of policy, he said.



"Upon review, the Defense Logistics Agency has determined the cartridge cases could be appropriately placed in a category of government property allowing for their release for sale," Cunningham wrote.



The Defense Department liaison was responding to a letter yesterday to the Defense Logistic Agency's Vice Admiral Alan S. Thompson from Tester and fellow Montana Democrat Sen. Max Baucus. The senators argued "prohibiting the sale of fired military brass would reduce the supply of ammunition 鈥?preventing individual gun owners from fully exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We urge you to address this situation promptly."

______________________________________鈥?br>


ONLY after Holder's plan became PUBLIC did he back down!
None that I know of so far. I have never claimed he tried to take our guns. As a Senator, he supported gun control but so does virtually every other Democrat. I disagree with them but I really am not worried. The day the government comes for our guns will be the day we have a revolution. There are a lot of bleeding heart liberals out there who are also gun owners. Everyone would be pissed.



Anyways, Obama has yet to do anything as president about taking away guns. I'm more worried about his economic policies as of now.
He's interested in getting re-elected.



Any serious attempt will occur after 2012, if he is re-elected.





Can you tell us what he did to restore Second amendment rights in Illinois while in the state legislature or in the Senate?



Obviously he prefers an unarmed population.

How many stimulus bills do you think Obama and congress will pass before Obama leaves office?

If the first stimulus hasn't even hit the streets how can they say it failed and we need another?

Is Obama's inexperience showing, or is he trying to bankrupt our country on purpose?How many stimulus bills do you think Obama and congress will pass before Obama leaves office?
He's trying to rapidly implement drastic changes to the nature and structure of the federal government the average American can begin to realize what's happening. His game so far has been to make the economy worse, blame it on Bush, then use the ever-worsening situation as grounds to enact even more socialistic legislation.



Thanks to people like Peter Schiff and Ron Paul, however, Americans are beginning to catch on sooner that the Lolbama administration would have liked.

His VAST 143 days of experience is glaring in everyones face now.

Both.



He is an inexperienced moron, but the first stimulus had very little to do with helping the economy, and everything to do with creating a crisis and garnering control of the uneducated.

oh wait that's how much they will cost my bad.
After this one is actually spent, it really doesn't matter. 3 or 53, there is no money so what difference does it make?

JUST THE ONE

IF THE STATE %26amp; LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WILL RELEASE THE DAMNED MONEY!
Well, if there's already talks of a second one six months into his presidency. We're looking at 8 stimulous bills by the time he leaves office.
if they pass the second they should know in 2010 they lose control. Only 27% of Americans support a 2nd one.



Considering that 95% of the first one does nothing to create permenent jobs, i would say it is a good possibility already.
He will pass as many stimulus bills and other spending packages as he can, and yes, he is trying to bankrupt the country on purpose. Whatever cripples the economy, enslaves our people to the government and weakens our power in the world, he will do it. It's Socialism 101, and Obama has been waiting his whole life to get here. I'm sure the revenge is very sweet for him. He seems to be enjoying the White House immensely. He's come a long way from his humble birthplace in a Kenyan hut, you have to give him that.
So many that the last one will be paid in Chinese yuan.
As many as Democratic Congress, the Senate and Obama can shove down our throats.

His vast inexperience is showing, not only in the economy but in foreign policy. His talks with Russia were a joke and a rerun of the 60's decade.



he is an incompetent and utter failure.

Well BO has been issued a blank check and it is just a matter of getting the liberal congress to sign it. That is not a problem of course.I hope the BO backers and liberals react well to the pain at tax season.Oh ya most of the liberals like paying there money to BO's government...
Funny that most money will come into the system to pay off the bribes the Democrats made to get into office right around 2010.....But the Dems started a controlled burn to get elected, and even he does not know how to get the this fire under control.
As many as this criminal organization, formally known as the US Government, think they can get away with, until the American people finally grow a set and say, "Enough is enough" and remove these fools from office.
As many as possible tell 2010.

That is when the people will rise up and vote out the Democrats and that will be the last we see of a Democrat Congress for another 12 years and Obama will be a one hit wonder.
What do you expect... This creature Obama knows only how to spend... He kind of reminds me of Michael Jackson
Chicken Feed, is all it was, a few Months ago Republicans came up with a way to use the 780 Billion Dollars to use as one Massive stimulus Package, and that was to distribute that 780 Billion among all Adult tax payers and the math was done, It amounted to over $42,000 per person.



Now what could you do with $ 42,000 ? Hmm?



That would have taken us out of the problem we have virtually overnight, For those who are behind on Their Mortgage ? It could possibly pay it off or at the least take a Huge Chunk out of it See? The banks would get their Money?



Those behind on their Car payments ? It could be paid off or better yet Buy I new car, That also helps out the Banks and the Auto Industry I mean Really, Come on. The Auto retailers would empty their Showrooms overnight and order for new cars in the factory's would be stacked.



The Retail Business would profit as hordes of people would Flock to Walmart Buying things, That would help the economy , No ne can say it wouldn't.



The Health care Industry ? well people who couldn't at First afford it, Can Now afford it at least for a while, That would help the health care industry.



Homeless ? Those who are Homeless and US Citizens would be getting it too, Do you think they would be Homeless after that ? NO

You Just Helped the Homeless That would disappear virtually Overnight.



The 780 Billion ? The Nation would begin getting that Back almost at once as all those things Purchased would be taxed, so that helps.



The List goes on and on, BUT NO Obama has to have His Socialist Nation. So now we watch this Nation go Downhill and those Idiots Blame Bush for it when it was not Bush's Fault, when the Democrats won the mid terms 2 1/2 Years ago they began Influencing Fanny Mae, Freddy Mack AIG and the others to approve those High Risk Loans, John McCain caught on to this on the Floor of the Senate and warned them about it.



To No avail

Now 7 weeks before the Presidential Elections the Stock Market Collapses ??!! Bull Crap, No ne can conicne me it was an Coicidence



The Democrats Tanked the Stock Market, and then Collapsed it in order for them to take power so as to have their Socialist Nation.

No one can tell me different.
If it's more than one the Libs are done.



They won't hold Congress after 2010 and the Obama will be gone in 2012.



Passing a second stimulus would be like shooting yourself in the foot twice.
1, the 2nd ones being talked about was completely fabricated and is a lie. I wont point fingers but the media knew about it and not tim geihtner so that says something.
Over 100 billion of hte first stimulus has already been spent, but you are right that the majority of the money will be spent in 2010. When the economy recovers or shows signs of heating up, they will stop suggesting stimulus, or if evidence shows that demand is normal again.
there are NO more stimulus bills being planned.....



try and keep up..... you will have to listen to something other than FOX and Hannity if you want to keep up..

What responsibility should Obama have for the democratic break in of Palin's eMail?

Within days of being appointed, Pailin was falsly accused by Obama supports of 'babygate' where they falsely suggested her baby was some one else's.



Now that there has been a democratic break in of her email and posting on the internet by Obama supporters. What reposnibility should Obama hold for the eMailGate conspiracy? Is his campaign out of control? Is this Daly machine politics on steroids?What responsibility should Obama have for the democratic break in of Palin's eMail?
Obama has incited anti-American fervor ever since he become the DNC candidate for POTUS.



Does anyone doubt that he and his staff welcomed such illiegal behavior against the Governor of Alaska?



NOBAMA!
I don't know if he welcomed it, it was the son of a democrat congressman

Report Abuse

What responsibility should Obama have for the democratic break in of Palin's eMail?
None, nobody who Obama has any control over is accused in anyway of being related to hacking into Palin's email. Hell, we don't even know if the people who did this are Obama supporters, they could be Ron Paul supporters for all we know, or not even vote. Most hackers do hacks for the notoriety, not for particular political reasons.



I don't hold McCain responsible for the rash of vandalism of Obama headquarters throughout the country, why should Obama be held responsible for some kids hacking into a yahoo email account?
Why assume is a leftist, its most likely the GOP behind it. This would not have been carried out by just any republican, it would have had to have been arranged by the campaign, maybe a rogue aspect of the campaign.



It brings lots of advantages:

1) Diverts attention away from the economy (as much as it can anyway with all the news were getting)

2) Makes libs look bad and allows right wing talk show nuts to blame the Obama compaign

3) Makes it look as though Palin did not have anything to hide in these emails

4) Gives her a chance to delete the email accounts in question so they can't be requested / subpoenaed



All in all, a win for the GOP, so it only seems logical they are behind it.What responsibility should Obama have for the democratic break in of Palin's eMail?
First of all, most hackers are just brats and I would be willing to bet they are not registered to either political party.



Secondly, why no outcry when the Bush administration was found to be reading American citizens' e-mail without a warrant? This was called "patriotic".



Maybe Bush can give the hackers retroactive immunity for their illegal activity, like the telecommunications companies were given.
Mich: "Anti-American fervor"??????



Have you ever been out of the country? Did you get your passport *more* recently than Sarah-P??



You want anti-American fervor ; spin the globe, randomly pick a spot, go there, say "Bush", then say "I'm voting for McCain"



see you when (if) you make it back..
None, because he has to do anything he can to get ahead. Obama is doing really bad in the polls.
Responsible to share those emails to the public!! See what she is really hiding from everyone.
Ghost of Tom Joad is right
Why should he take any blame?
The people who started Babygate were the people of her town %26amp; her family who told that she never looked pregnant %26amp; didn't even tell her closest family members. The 16 year old daughter was out of school for many months before, around %26amp; after the birth of the child. Don't blame the dems for this.....She has many enemies just like McCain does. Many republicans refused to go to the convention %26amp; this was months before his convention. So they acted like the place was so emply because of a storm far away. Really he is hated by many people he has fought with. Dems are the nice people that helped him by working with him on things. Why can't republicans see to get the basic understanding that dems really live the "love thy neighbor as thyself" %26amp; meanwhile one of them told him he was a Maverick for working on both sides. So anything positive that he can say about himself he says all the time, friends, maverick, war hero. It doesn't matter than none of it is true....It is amazing that you are blaming the dems. who are the ones that do what it takes to save people like you from you own ignorance...the republcan in the white house has accomplished his goal of letting this corrupt rich people take the money from 95% of the American so they can be filthy rich. You still are blaming the poor %26amp; the dems for everything. In a way I hope McCain does win so Obama won't be blamed for this mess. So people like you will know what it is like to lose you job or business %26amp; can see we are all connected. Then your will lose your health care %26amp; the stress will land you in the hospital with bills that will make you depend on things dems have designed so people like you can survive but the reps. have damaged the gov. so bad it will all be gone. So go watch the Grapes of Wrath movie it is old but it will prepare you for what is next. If McCain wins there is no hope except for the richest 5%. Not all of them are greedy of course some are so generous but people like you hate Oprah %26amp; Bill Gates %26amp; anyone who cares about others but with McCain maybe it will help you wake up but then again if you haven't yet then maybe rock bottom for you is never going to happen.

Why is the Obama administration such a good friend to the leftist dictators of Latin America?

Why do they want to setup another latin dictatorship in Honduras and destroy the democratically elected government there?

Now Obama is talking about sanctions against Honduras because it is proceeding by democracy and the rule of law, because Obama want to install a socialist dictator there?

Why doesn't America open its eyes to this lunacy of Obama?Why is the Obama administration such a good friend to the leftist dictators of Latin America?
George W wanted to spread democracy around the globe

Obama wants to differentiate himself from George W

Therefore he has embarked on a program of destroying democracy around the globe

Then he will say how he has undone all the bad things Bush did
What an awesome observation, you're so right, I agree with you.Why is the Obama administration such a good friend to the leftist dictators of Latin America?
He isn't. No one who pays attention will buy your nonsense claims.
Please learn all of the facts of this story before asking another question on this subject.Why is the Obama administration such a good friend to the leftist dictators of Latin America?
I know how you feel. Just look at this for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBV48awSi…
Because he himself is a Marxist.
Obama is jealous of their power.
Because his supporters will prop him up no matter what, and turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the negative.



I keep saying, this guy could propose a plan to amputate the legs of all teenage girls born in states that end in a vowel, and half the country would think it's the greatest idea since television... and our withholding taxes would go to pay for the surgeries!
You mean like Ronald Reagan supplying Iran with weapons through Ollie North during the Iran-Contra scandal?
Dunno why there are so many blind Americans. The truth is very ugly some folks just cannot accept it.
I agree. This is NOT the American way - his warped version of a country exists over in Russia or Venezuela - not here in America. Since Obama has become president there is a feeling that American capitalism is gone. That the dollar is no good anymore. That making a lot of money is no good anymore - that you will be heavily taxed on this “extra” money. That YOU should pay the mortgage of those who can’t afford theirs. That you should pay the health care for those who can’t afford it. This is the pathetic “community organizer” attitude that Obama is INFESTING the White House with. This is the same type of thinking and policy that will drive this country into bankruptcy and EXACTLY what Obama wants us to be - a run of the mill “nanny state” country - that HE controls. o_O
This is all irrelevant. None of it involves bettering our lord Alan Colmes' life.



Colmes bless.

What has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?

Obama! Obama! Obama fever seems to be everywhere. You can't watch any news show without hearing his name mentioned at least a dozen times. It is like he was the second coming.



But what has he done?



Oh, that is right. He gave the keynote speech for the 2004 nomination of John Kerry. Wow. Fat lot of good that did. Kerry got whupped.



Yes, Obama won a senate race in 2004. But he owes that win to the republicans. In the middle of the race, they dropped one loser candidate for another. It is not like Obama had a serious fight to win that election.



Oh, yeah. Obama NOW opposes the war. Well! How politically correct he is!



So what does Obama stand for? Well that is besides going to a beach in a swimsuit and getting his "pretty boy" face in the news.What has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?
He has met the only requirements to run for office: born in the USA and over age 35.



I agree with your analysis. People are interested because he does not have any "baggage." He does not have a history of voting and has not developed any legislation on his own.



I do not consider him to be a viable candidate. He is a liberal. Liberals who run on their views do not get elected. Example: Walter Mondale.
is your problem cause he is blackWhat has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?
He is a black muslim with no personality I have seen, and has the most liberal voting record in the senate. He is just to the left of Carl Marx. The Democrats are really tetched in the haid to consider such a man for president.
And I thought it was every Americans duty, and right to support their Country.

I guess you don't think he has a right or duty?

What, in YOUR opinion should qualify a candidate?What has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?
America, especially black America, is looking for another Martin Luther King Jr. The current black leadership does not have the history to fit the bill. Jesse Jackson had marital problems. Dr. Farrakhan has said too many negative things about white America, and the Jews to be electable. Charles Rangel is way too partisan and is all about pork for his district.

Bottom line, a black leader needs both to have a clean past, be electable, and have a national stage, Barack Obama has all three. At least, until something changes.
Nothing!

If that is the best they have to offer, the Democrates are in deep doo-doo.
Not much in my opinion. I think he is more of a poster boy for his party. He tends to waffle on many issues. He opposes the war but supports defense spending. I think he is just out there to muddy the waters.
well, he is supported by all muslims in america, and how most americans dont vote, muslims and terrorist s.o.b.'s alike, voted for him
Sounds like you haven't done any research on the candidates and that is why this country gets into trouble. You could start by going to your local library and reading one of his two books, or both, that will tell you how he was raised and something about his values as a person.



Also, you could check out facts such as voting records, PAC contributions, associations he belongs to, and what he does in his spare time.



If this is all too much for you, then you shouldn't vote, because you are uninformed.

Is Obama a socialist or is just the entire democratic party?

Can someone tell me the big difference between what Obama and the rest of the democratic party advocates for? I have yet to find any so far with the exception of centrist Bill Clintion and his wife (Yuck! I can't believe I just said that). Can someone tell me how Obama's policies are different than the rest of the democrats?Is Obama a socialist or is just the entire democratic party?
Have you ever noticed that when liberals are losing an argument, they will often resort to calling their opponent "fascist" or "nazi?"



Same goes for conservatives - whenever they start losing, they鈥檒l fall back on the old standby of calling their opponent "socialist" or "communist."



McCain is truly getting desperate. The fact is, he used to support the EXACT same type of tax plan that he is NOW calling socialism. Check out the video:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kYsF1Mer鈥?/a>



And by the way 鈥?what about Palin taking the windfall profits TAX from the oil companies and cutting a check to every Alaskan with it? If that's not "SPREADING THE WEALTH," I don't know what is.



The McCain campaign is going down swinging, but make no mistake - they are going down.


He actually belongs to the Democratic Socialist of America party, DSA. He also was a member of the New Party, a branch of the DSA.

He was listed as a member of the Democratic Socialist of America party when he ran for Illinois State Senator in 1996.



The regular Democratic party looks at the DSA as much more liberal and some even say it is radical. But this year unfortunately some of them do support the DSA candidate Obama. Some do not support him.



If you look at the Hillary Forum they are stronger for McCain. So many will vote for him. Obama is just too liberal for them.



See the Hillary Forum thread link below to see how they do not like him.



(to Curious: luv the videos, thx)



See the video of interview with William Ayers below.Is Obama a socialist or is just the entire democratic party?
If Barack Obama would apply for a job with the FBI or with the Secret Service,

he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers,

a known terrorist.



If he is elected President he would not qualify to be his own body guard! how in the hell is he even qualified to be a candidate for the presidency.

but, americans are DEFINETELY dumb enough to vote for this guy



to answer your question though, the whole democratic party.
Why don't you start by defining socialism. Because if you do i think you will find that there are no politicians in America, including Obama, that come even close.



Just because Socialism and Communism are big bogeyman words doesn't mean they don't actually have meanings. I can call a cat a dog but that doesn't make it one.Is Obama a socialist or is just the entire democratic party?
The entire democratic party. I know that the NRA is particularly nervous about Obama as president. He wants a 500% tax increase. So a box of rifle ammo will be $500.00 and a new hunting rifle will cost you $5,000.00. Obama is change we cannot afford.See for yourself.
Watch these videos and you may get a clear perception!

We (America) are becoming more and more socialist. Obama just wants to put the plan in high gear. Take away more rights, take away more tax money away from you and me, and give it to ACORN, Bill Aires, Rev. Wright,ect, ect ,ect.
If Obama is a socialist to you, then McCain must be one too. McCain claims Obama wants to give checks to the 40% that don't pay income tax when McCain's health plan will give that same 40% $5,000.
Most democrats are also socialist except for a few conservative democrats that have been shut out by the democrat party elites.
The whole democratic party.
to some degree, America has always been a socialist country.


neither.
