Apparently being of the opinion that he remains far
from having done as much damage as he can possibly to our country, Barry made a
pledge just this past Thursday that he fully intends to use his last 18 months
in office to work on gun control, calling it “the one area where I feel that
I’ve been most frustrated and most stymied.”
And I would think it rather foolish on our part not to take this as the
threat that it is.
It was in a BBC interview that Barry said, “If you
ask me where has been the one area where I feel that I’ve been most frustrated
and most stymied, it is the fact that the United States of America is the one
advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient, common-sense gun
safety laws – even in the face of repeated mass killings.” But common-sense laws are not what Barry
really wants to bring about.
Barry went on to say, “And if you look at the number
of Americans killed since 9/11 by terrorism, it’s less than 100. If you look at
the number that have been killed by gun violence, it’s in the tens of
thousands." And he continued, “For
us not to be able to resolve that issue has been something that is distressing,
but it is not something that I intend to stop working on in the remaining 18
months.”
But I think it fair far to say that Barry is little
more than delusional when it comes to his patently dishonest “tens of
thousands” claim. Not even if you add up
all the shootings in all the liberal hell holes from all 6 1/2 of his years in
office do we get numbers like that. Now,
perhaps if he intends to disarm the Blacks and the Hispanics who are doing the
vast majority of those shootings, well then, he can have at it.
But the real reason Barry has failed in gun control is
because he has failed to enforce existing gun laws. In 2007, candidate Barry said, "We know
what to do. We've got to enforce the gun laws that are on the books." He
also alluded to cracking down on straw man purchasers and "unscrupulous
gun dealers." He continued to reiterate this view on the campaign trail in
2008, including calls for stronger background checks.
Back when Barry addressed the people of Newtown, he
asked, "can we honestly say that we're doing enough?" and answered,
"If we're honest with ourselves, the answer's no. We're not doing
enough," adding, "surely we can do better than this ... if there's
even one step we can take to save another [life] … then surely we have an obligation
to try." President Barry had
apparently forgotten the words of candidate Barry.
In truth, Barry would have to look no further than
the nearest mirror if he were truly interested in finding out exactly who it is
that’s responsible for not doing "better than this." Barry has never made enforcement of existing
guns laws a political or policy priority.
Barry’s Justice Department, at least under Holder, never strongly
enforcing prosecutions of people who falsify information on their gun
background checks.
And let’s face it, there's simply no good reason to
not enforce this law and prosecute violators, unless, of course, there is an
ulterior motive for doing so. I mean
when you have 99% of non-NRA member gun owners as well as 95% of NRA members
expressing support for punishing traffickers to the full extent of the law,
what might be the purpose for not doing so?
Why might Barry not want to “do better."
The irony is that gun rights advocates have argued
for years is that it's not more gun laws that are needed, the only thing that’s
needed is for existing laws to be enforced or at least better enforced. Take the city of Chicago, Barry adopted
hometown and a place that has the strictest gun laws in the country. Just this year alone there have been nearly
1500 shooting victims, one person is shot every 3 hours and 14 minutes.
But Barry goes on and on, as do so many of his
fellow Democrats and a good many ‘Republicans’, about how more laws are the
answer. The approach to gun laws bears a
rather uncanny resemblance to the approach used when talking about illegal
immigration. Because there are thousands
of immigration laws already on the books that also go unenforced, while at the
same time we hear calls for even more laws.
So we need to take Barry at his word, and to
understand how it is that he will try to go about making good on it. He has no interest in enforcing current laws,
because they don’t get him to where he wants, or needs, to go, which is to take
guns out of the hands of every law abiding American. So he’s going to need ‘new’, more far-reaching
laws that will provide to him that opportunity.
We must be ready to fight!
Because Barry and his gang of Democrats, and more
than just a few Republicans, will soon be headed our way, again. So we had better be working on, or adding to,
whatever fortifications, Constitutionally speaking, that will be needed to stop
them. And if those fortifications fail,
then my friends we will have few options left, and none of them are something
that I ever thought would take place in this country.
