Why Does Obama Fear Armed Citizenry?
Exclusive: Joseph Farah pits president’s actions against words of our founders
WND
Barack Obama recently made some extraordinary statements about gun ownership that need a thorough refutation.
Not only did Obama misrepresent the very reason the Bill of Rights includes a specific protection of the unalienable right to bear arms, he also misrepresented his own personal position, which is clearly for the ban of most firearms currently owned by Americans.
Here’s what he said in Colorado last week: “The opponents of some of these common-sense laws have ginned up fears among responsible gun owners that have nothing to do with what’s being proposed, nothing to do with the facts, but feeds into this suspicion about government. You hear some of these quotes:
- ‘I need a gun to protect myself from the government.’
- ‘We can’t do background checks because the government’s going to come take my guns away.’
“The government’s us,” Obama continued. “These officials are elected by you. They are elected by you, I am elected by you. I am constrained as they are constrained by a system that our founders put in place. This is a government of and by and for the people. So surely we can have a debate that’s not based on the notion somehow that your elected representatives are trying to do something to you other than potentially prevent another group of families from grieving the way the families of Aurora or Newtown or Columbine have grieved. We’ve got to get past some of the rhetoric that gets perpetuated that breaks down trust and is so over the top that it just shuts down all discussion. And it’s important for all of us when we hear that talk to say ‘hold on a second.’ If there are any folks out there right now who are gun owners and you’ve been hearing that someone is taking away your guns, get the facts! We’re not proposing a gun registration system. We’re proposing background checks for criminals. Don’t just listen to what some advocates or folks who have an interest in this are saying. Look at the actual legislation. That’s what happened here in Colorado. And hopefully if we know the facts and we’re listening to each other, then we can actually move forward.”
Obama makes light of the argument that free citizens have a right and duty to be armed and vigilant to protect their liberty – including from government. But, it’s not some crazy idea. It is exactly what the men who drafted and ratified the Second Amendment believed.

“Q to Obama. Do you support state legislation to:
a. ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns? Yes.
b. ban assault weapons? Yes.
c. mandatory waiting periods and background checks? Yes.

One of the characteristics of negroes.
They grow up jiving. It is a way of life for them. Thus the negro has learned to jive (lie) to the American people as if nothing happened.
Well, he is also a lawyer and a politician. But I agree, he is a liar and a fraud. Welcome to bizarro world where not many seem to care, or consider it the new normal.
Wait until Hillary Clinton replaces him.
Only then you’ll find out how good was Obama.
You’ll be sorry for your comments here.
In the mean time keep on enjoying yourself demonizing him while the real Demon is waiting her turn to be the next president.
Wow! An illuminatic moderator. This websites a shill! Here to discredit those who won’t fluff government…
There are powers that desire to have the American people disarmed before an attack on American soil.
I believe not long after November ’12 – word snuck out from a cabinet meeting in which Obama said…’For the next four years Im president…at least I hope’. I assure you. With Obamas illuminati indoctrinated Alinskyite vision and Bill Ayers coaching…we as citizens of America are mere trifles. Its the JFK murdering money men that Obama fears…
Obama’s a 13th and 14th constitutional amendment subject of the state, without a birth certificate. It’s unconstitutional for any nonwhite to be in the Whitehouse.
