But Obama said he wouldn't?!

Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.
Dumbama says he supports the Second Amendment, but does he? The above is straight from the new & improved www.whitehouse.gov . Soooo what is wrong with it you may ask? How about its just a flat lie.
First Tiahrt Amendment does not restrict local law enforcement from trace data. If a firearm has been used in a crime any law enforcement agency can access that data to investigate a crime. What it does do is prevent lawyers from accessing the data to create huge law suits against gun companies. It also does not allow anyone random access to go fishing for something to charge you with. It is like a door on your house. Do you want anyone from the government just randomly wandering through your house to see what you can be charged with? It is the exact same thing. Again when a firearm is used in a crime any law enforcement agency can access the data.
How about keeping guns away from children that seems like a good measure right? Except if protecting children is your goal, you would be more effective if you went after swimming pools. That’s right swimming pools. More children are killed in drowning accidents every year than are harmed by firearms, according to the Center for disease control. The fact of the matter is the overwhelming majority of gun owners are responsible. Since they are responsible, they teach their children gun safety.
Gun show loopholes is next. What loophole? If a dealer sells a gun anywhere, gun show, store, or even your backyard, he has to go through the same process. Fill out all the forms, a federal criminal background check, and any other local regulations. So where is the loop hole? There are none. What is really at work here is the private transfer of firearms. I have a shotgun that has been handed down through about three generations in my family. The shotgun will go to my son and his son after that. This so called loophole will stop that from happening. Can you imagine not being able to hand down a family heirloom?
Last but not least is the Assault weapons ban. This targets the most popular rifle in the country, the Armalite model 15 or AR-15. (AR stands for Armalite, not Assault Rifle) This rifle is NOT used by the military. The military use an M-16 that has a selective fire switch. The AR-15 is a family defense weapon, hunting rifle, and plinking rifle. It is no different than any other semi-automatic rifle. It is the most popular weapon being sold right now. Every manufacturer of this weapon is back ordered. So why ban it? Cause it looks dangerous? I see people walking the streets all the time that look dangerous, do we allow the police to lock them up for looking dangerous? How about for looking stupid? (Although the argument could be made to lock up stupid people.)
During the ninety’s we were subjected to a ban on certain types of guns. We must ask did it accomplish anything. Well the answer is, NO! As a matter of fact the U.S. Department of Justice in 2006 said that not a single Law Enforcement Officer was killed using an “Assault Rifle”. The FBI said Law Enforcement was more likely to be killed with their own handgun. Finally when the ban was lifted what happened? Nothing! There was not an increase in gun violence. There were no gangs of raping & pillaging running through the streets. The only thing that has happened is the price of these weapons came more to a market price, instead of the inflated ban price.
So there you have it. The truth about dumbama and his support for the second amendment. You have to ask yourself if he is this wrong on something so clear, how can he be clear on anything?
