An Obama January Surprise For Gun Owners?

Via View From The Porch, Michael Bane is saying that, despite protestations to the contrary, Barack Obama will go after law-abiding gun owners very quickly after he is inaugurated in order shore up his Lefty base after all the Clintonista appointees. From Obama's political perspective it does make a modicum of sense. Will it happen? Dunno. Right now, it's only so much speculation. But if I were still thinking about buying, I'd do it ASAP. Just to be safe.

Whether right away or some time in the future, I do believe the Obama Administration will attempt to reimpose "Assault Weapons" / Hi-Cap Magazine Bans, seek outright bans of certain firearms in in urban areas (i.e., reverse Heller), allow for tobacco-like litigation against firearms manufacturers, and seek some way to force states to rescind "shall issue" CCW.

It's not going to be a pleasant four years for gun owners.

Let's have lots of communities declare themselves "Sanctuary" zones and order their law enforcement folks to refuse cooperation with/enforcement of any Federal gun laws.

Hey, if its cool for immigration, should be cool for the 2nd Amendment.

As stated once before: a very quick way to halt gun sales immediately is to shut down the FBI approval phone line. That can be done by executive order I bet.

That would put the whole gun mfg/import/sales supply chain in a huge crunch.

While you are out buying that gun real quick, get some ammo, and join the NRA.
