President Obama, the New York Times, and the entire mainstream media declare full-scale war on the 2nd AmendmentBy Alex Thomas This attack on the 2nd Amendment and law-abiding gun owners has included a prime-time address to the nation as well as a front page New York Times editorial that attempted to shame the American people into accepting further restrictions on their right to bear arms. On top of that, a disgusting New York Daily News column actually compared a victim of the attack to one of the shooters themselves simply because the victim was an NRA supporter who expressed fear about Muslim-related terrorism. In a major prime-time address to the nation President Obama acknowledged that the attack in California was an act of terrorism before stating that Congress should move to further limit American gun ownership, this time under the guise of automatically banning anyone on aNo Fly List from purchasing or owning firearms. Congress should act to make sure no one on a no-fly list is able to buy a gun. What could possibly be the argument for allowing a terrorist suspect to buy a semiautomatic weapon? This is a matter of national security, Obama disingenuously argued. While ones first reaction to banningthose on a government no fly list from purchasing weapons may be one of agreement, the fact of the matter is that thousands (at least) of law-abiding citizens have been put on these no fly lists with absolutely no way of finding out why, much less ever getting off of them. A blanket ban on purchasing firearms for those on secretive no fly lists would literally allow the government to put any patriot or political opponent on one of the lists which would then unilaterally take away their 2nd Amendment rights. Couple this with the fact that numerous mainstream media pundits have already admitted that their plan for gun control includes eventual mass confiscation and a clear picture of what the President is really attempting to do emerges. In a surprising move even for the admittedly liberal leaning New York Times, the supposed paper of record decided to run a front page editorial denouncing American gun ownership in a transparent attempt at shaming Americans into accepting gun control in the wake of the California attack. Despite admitting that authorities were still searching for an exact motive for the attack, the Times wasnt deterred in the least bit to push their extreme position of not only a full on assault ban but the outright confiscation of all previously legally bought assault weapons. But motives do not matter to the dead in California, nor did they in Colorado, Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia, Connecticut and far too many other places. The attention and anger of Americans should also be directed at the elected leaders whose job is to keep us safe but who place a higher premium on the money and political power of an industry dedicated to profiting from the unfettered spread of ever more powerful firearms. It is a moral outrage and a national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed specifically to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency. These are weapons of war, barely modified and deliberately marketed as tools of macho vigilantism and even insurrection. Americas elected leaders offer prayers for gun victims and then, callously and without fear of consequence, reject the most basic restrictions on weapons of mass killing, as they did on Thursday. They distract us with arguments about the word terrorism. Lets be clear: These spree killings are all, in their own ways, acts of terrorism. [] Certain types of weapons, like the slightly modified combat rifles used in [the San Bernardino attack], and certain kinds of ammunition, must be outlawed for civilian ownership. It is possible to define those guns in a clear and effective way and, yes, it would require Americans who own these kinds of weapons to give them up for the good of their fellow citizens. There you have it. Terrorists attack Americans and now all gun owners in the country should have their so-called assault weapons confiscated under the threat of government force, motive be damned. This is the authoritarian liberal mediamindset on full display once again. In a vile column published by the low standard liberal rag, columnist and authoritarian liberal Linda Stasi literally applauds the death of one of the terror attack victims all because he supported the NRA and had posted Facebook updates revealing his worry over Islamic terror in an admittedly non-PC way. They were two hate-filled, bigoted municipal employees interacting in one department. Now 13 innocent people are dead in unspeakable carnage. One man spent his free time writing frightening, NRA-loving, hate-filled screeds on Facebook about the others religion. The other man quietly stewed and brewed his bigotry, collecting the kind of arsenal that the Facebook poster would have envied. To Stasi and her allies in media and government, a NRA and Pamela Geller supporter is equivalent toa terrorist who murdered 14 people and injured 17 more. Make no mistake, as disgusting and deservedly dead as the hate-filled fanatical Muslim killers were, Thalasinos was also a hate-filled bigot. Death cant change that. But in the U.S., we dont die for speaking our minds. Or were not supposed to anyway. Thalasinos was an anti-government, anti-Islam, pro-NRA, rabidly anti-Planned Parenthood kinda guy, who posted that it would be Freaking Awesome if hateful Ann Coulter was named head of Homeland Security. He asked, IS 1. EVERY POLITICIAN IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR? 2. EVERY POLITICIAN IS A MORON? 3. EVERY POLITICIAN IS RACIST AGAINST JEWS? He also posted screeds like, You can stick your Muslim Million Man march up your asses, and how Hashem should blow up Iran. Pro-NRA? You deserve to die. Labeled anti-Islam by the liberal media? You deserve to die. Disgusted at the practices carried out by Planned Parenthood? You deserve to die. This sick logic is sadly a part of the world view held by many on the increasing extreme left. Perhaps the most revealing aspect of these renewed calls for mass gun confiscation and the restriction or complete destruction of the 2nd Amendment is the fact that in California where the terror attack took place liberals have already passed some of the nations strictest gun laws. Literally every gun control law being pushed on a national levelhas already been passed in the state yet the American people are supposed to believe that all gun control groups and their billionaire backers want is common sense reform? The Associated Press reported this inconvenient fact: The deadly shooting in San Bernardino happened in a state with some of the nations toughest gun laws: California bars assault weapons, blocks the sale of large-capacity magazines and requires universal background checks for all gun purchases. Authorities say they believe attackers Syed Rizwan Farook and wife Tashfeen Malik had legally obtained two handguns and that two rifles were also legally purchased in California. Federal officials say the attackers had large-capacity magazines that violate California law in their SUV. Since the attack Wednesday at a social service center in Southern California, the states strict laws and the apparent legal purchase of the weapons have set off a debate over the effectiveness of gun measures and whether getting tougher would help prevent more violence. Clearly the actual facts of what happened in California matter very little to the gun grabbers who, in the past, have gone on record with their belief that eventually mass gun confiscation will be needed in America. To recap, authorities are claiming that two Islamic terror inspired radicals killed 14 Americans and injured over a dozen more yet the President and his liberal media allies are focused on further limiting law-abiding Americans access to firearms. This fact alone shows that the gun control lobby, complete with hundreds of millions of dollars in backing by billionaire globalists, will stop at nothing in their zealot-like mission to fully disarm the country.

Take this steamrolling of all these idiots and roll them right out of the country. If and when we get hit, if obama is on a plane out of here people take that as a clue to button the hatches and be ready.!!!! People have a right to defend themselves. We do not want to be dependent on a hostile government for that and everything else. People who dont understand this are deluded. What the powers behind this want is a nation without a middle class, totally impoverished (which Obamacare is ensuring is happening as jobs are cut because of it), and dependency. What demons these people are, but life is not designed as heaven on earth. Thank goodness for Texas and everyone outside of that state who will absolutely FIGHT to depend their right to defend life and property, their second amendment rights everyones life, not just their own. Places where concealed carry exist, have markedly lower crime rates, and as is always said, criminals will ALWAYS get guns. Committing no crime and no due process of law, this no fly list gun restriction is unbelievably unconstitutional and illegal!! I favor the Quit supporting them idea. Stop buying, dont go to work, stay home and pay no taxes just for 2 days, perhaps 3 days, and this will place a stop on this country in proportions that would be catastrophic to the gov. Then they will have to concede. The people hold the power if united. One day is close to a 15% knock. Go for Monday and/or Friday. A couple of lone wolf, murdering, duesh bag moooslims do their nasty business and we have to be careful not paint all muslims with a broad brush. But, since they used guns, we have to paint all guns and gun owners as potential terrorists. Only the intellectual libtard elites could come up with stupid excrement like that. They should also ban anyone who cant legally purchase a firearm from flyingI think many of the Hollyweird libtards may find issue with this but if you cant pass a NICS check your obviously of dubious character and would be a risk on an aircraft The gun grabbers should be charged with TREASON. While we are at war with unknowns who would kill us, their agenda is to disarm us so we cant defend ourselves. They need to have a fair trial, and if found guilty, then given a proper tar feathering and a rail ride down to the hanging tree, for a bodacious necktie party in their honor. If they dont like life here in the USA, under our Constitutional Laws, then there are plenty of other countries they can move to, before they get themselves into trouble. So, like the war on drugs increased the drug problem, and the war on terror increased the terrorist problem, should we now expect the war on legal gun owners to cause an even bigger gun problem?
