No, he's not.

That has already been decided by the Supreme Court. He can't.

What the FEAR was, that he would work with the Senate and approve a treaty that would make it much more difficult (not impossible), to own a gun

OR

increase the federal excise tax now on ammo, until it just became too expensive for most of us to use our guns.

These were two FEARS, that had everyone upset when Obama was first elected. <Thus the 2009 date to the article>. Again, one more time for those burdened by a ho-hum public school education - this was the FEAR, not the fact, that had thousands of NRA members and gun owners, calling the switchboard for their federal politicians.

This was in response to Ibby calling "Bullshit".

@Lamplighter: The inflammatory editing "Subject: ..."etc., you're referring to was from the article that I was reading - I didn't write it.

Yes, it is VERY inflammatory, and that's why it was so alarming, and got such a strong response.

I know Ibby, you never noticed it before! Liberals!

You authored the introduction of the post, and stated "The Full Article Here(link)".
You then went on with an inflammatory header in bold print,
and stated "This was reported in Reuters..."

The original article is about an un-inflammatory as dust bunnies.

That was an attempt to misconstrue an article from 2009,
and now give an "I didn't write it" adekian excuse.







I know... "adekian" and the latter smilie used here are redundant,
but I do apologize to the creator of the smilie.

Good news!
Code:
Susan Rice ends bid to succeed Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State
The big liar is out!

@Lamplighter: Already stated, I did not author this:

Subject: Obama Takes First Step in Banning All Firearms On Wednesday Obama Took the First Major Step in a Plan to Ban All Firearms in the United States.


That was an example of the "yellow journalism" that gun owners were seeing red about in 2009.

Sticking with the color metaphors today.

Yes you did. You are the only person who brought it to the cellar. It was not even in the article you linked to. You created it. If you heard it somewhere else, you still brought it here and attempted to tie it to the subject at hand.

Take personal responsibility for what you say.

One more time: No, I did not.

It was the content of the website that had the link to the article. I brought it here, to show WHY gun owners were so alarmed, in 2009, and calling their representatives, in Washington, about it.
