Obama: We're working on gun control 'under the radar'

[74novaman]

I wouldn't be surprised if Sarah is, as usual...full of it. The Brady campaign is gasping for relevance, and grasping at straws. If I was Obama, and I told someone that I was working on gun control "under the radar", I'd be freakin hacked that she went and crowed it to the rooftops.

I'd bet 100 bucks she's lying and he's said no such thing. He may hate private gun ownership (like all good communists do) but he or his advisers are at least smart enough not to add that particular gasoline to the fire.

as always, my .02 and worth exactly what ya paid for it.

Guess you need to read the article. It wasn't Sarah that crowed it to the rooftops. In fact, the Bradys have been strangely silent about their recent impromptu visit with his majesty. A reporter who was in attendance reported it, according to the story.

Why would you be surprised? Under the radar is exactly the way Obama would approach gun control, especially if, as you say, he perceives it as politically unpopular. These guys don't care what Americans want, they only care about what they can get away with that advances their agenda. Yeah, he could be lying to placate an element of his base, but it is something he wants, so I fully expect a stealth attack on the RKBA in his second term --and to pull that off he has to be working on it now.

BTW, the best evidence for this is his pronouncement after the Giffords attack that he wasn't going to attack gun ownership: when a guy like Obama, who is essentially a pathological liar, says he's not going to do something you know he wants to do, that's a pretty sure sign he intends to do exactly that.

Obama has not YET attempted any gun control measures ONLY because the political climate is not right.

The best way to predict future behavior is to look at past behavior, this (Obama) Leopard has not changed his spots!

I don't think you can know that if his attack is under the radar. He may very well have plans and measures ready, such as executive orders, to be imposed or enacted at the right moment --which I'm guessing will be right after the next election, if he wins.

What about the administrations efforts to get an emergency rule to require the reporting of more the sale of more than 1 long gun in the southern border states? That is actively being pursued at this time: http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?ID=6705" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I wonder if "working on it" is related to "Project Gunrunner", or, what I like to call, "Project be quiet honest citizen gun retailer and sell arms to whom we TELL you to sell arms to because we are the ATF!"

I haven't seen ANY follow up on that disaster.

Ever since the results of the November election Obama has seemed to be treading more down the center...well...down the center for him. This is all a plan to win a second term in 2012. If that happens, I believe he will turn hard left and start pushing for as much gun control as possible. At that point, he'll have nothing to lose and the media will say how great he is and what a smart move his decisions were from 11/10 to 11/12.

Under the radar, behind the back, under the table, and whats up his sleeve! It is all a old fashion shell game with this administration. The only thing that matters when the words start flowing is who is in range to hear them, and what Barry believes they want to here. Under the radar should be this administrations moto. Look at what was added on to the health care bill, "under the radar". Does anybody really know and understand the entire bill. Pork bills did not go away as promised, they are handled "under the radar". Project "gun runner", under the radar.

In all of my 56 years, I have not witnessed a government so intent on changing the American way of life as this group we have in Washington today. I read it here, we have all made comments about, we all seem to pretty much agree that the pathway they are trying to lead us down will end up in a very dark tunnel.

Would he make the comment " work under the radar on gun control", sure he would, and I for one believes that he and this administration is doing just that. Do I have proof, no, but it does not take very long to check his history, and the background of his closest advisors to see that gun control cannot be far down the list on the agenda. The people cannot be armed in a socialist country. History tells us that.

I have just read today where the NRA is going to call for Holder to resign over the intentional straw purchases, and allowing the weapons into Mexico. " NRA Executive Director Wayne LaPierre will call for Holder's resignation in a Saturday morning speech at the NRA's annual meeting in Pittsburgh." I for one have great hopes that this is not just to gain headlines, but that the NRA is determined to see this through.

Obama may very well be trying to snooker us "under the radar," but it is just as likely that he trying to snooker the Brady bunch, and using the "under the radar" handwaving to "explain" why he isn't doing squat legislatively. He has screwed his own supporters (thank God) on a number of issues, and some of them are just as mad at him as the ones who voted against him. He has basically already started campaigning for his second term, and I have no doubt he will tell as many lies as he thinks will get him re-elected.

I just wish he had been lying about his promise to force gas prices to skyrocket.

I will agree that he wants to cut America down so that it is no more prosperous or influential than most 3rd world countries, but he does not need to implement gun control to do that. Wrecking the economy will do that, and that is one area where he and his buddies have excelled.

That's entirely plausible. Essentially all you're saying is that no one can believe anything BO says and I think that is an accurate assessment.
