!!!LIAR!!!

Remember last week when we saw Barry was standing outside the White House lamenting the defeat of the expanded background check bill in the Senate. He stood there, repeating, ad nauseam, how it was that 90 percent of all Americans wanted such a law and how it would not have infringed on the rights of a single American. He called the pro-gun lobby liars for calling it registration. But to say that Barry was misrepresenting the facts would be an understatement, because it wasn't the pro-gun folks who were lying, as is usually the case, it was Barry who was doing all the lying.

Now Barry can say, and until the cows come home, that the bill outlawed a registry, but to what effect? Congress passes and overrides laws all the time. And having spent a rather brief period of time in that body, Barry's very well aware of that fact, as is anyone with a single course in civics also knows very well. To tout this as proof that there will never be a registry is disingenuous at best and at worst purposely dishonest. And choosing between the two, especially when it comes to this president, is relatively simple. He is, without a doubt, the most dishonest president in my lifetime.

Look, the bottom line here is that when you have a paper trail put in place for every gun purchase, or at least the vast majority of them, you have created a de facto registry. That's a fact no matter what Barry would have anyone believe. And I understand that it’s held at the gun stores, but for how long? No one said that this bill created a registry, but we knew it would make the creating of a registry all that much easier. And is that something that we really want to be doing, especially when we have someone now as our president who is so blatantly untrustworthy.

So in his effort to chastise those who voted against the recent gun legislation, Barry maintained that 90 percent of Americans support expanded background checks, and therefore Congress had an obligation to pass such legislation. But this claim of his was a bit of a stretch since it was based on a single question which was open to interpretation by anyone taking part in the poll. You see, some would think it just means expanding the process to make sure the mentally ill can’t purchase guns, while for others, it’s complete registration. So there’s a great deal of wiggle room here.

Further questions, and other polls, have found just how soft those numbers are in fact, with 53 percent of gun owners believing that expanded background checks would lead to registration and confiscation. No mention from Barry "Almighty" on that statistic. Barry said that the expanded background checks wouldn’t infringe on the Second Amendment rights of a single American. Really? So, telling me I can’t purchase a gun through an ad in a newspaper – a part of Pat Toomey’s "compromise" – without getting permission isn’t infringement of my rights?

Look, whenever those in government ask for more power, it is not just about what they’re asking for, but what they’ve asked for in the past and what they may ask for in the future. This bill wasn’t just about expanding background checks, it was about what comes next. Washington is notorious for being given an inch and then turning around to take a mile. Barry knows this. He may play ignorant, but he and his staff aren’t. They know how the system works, as does anyone with a fully functioning brain. They get what they can today, and then work to get even more tomorrow.
