Obama’s Unserious Gun Proposals
National Review Online, by John H. Hinderaker

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 1/17/2013 12:22:40 AM

President Obama unveiled his proposals to combat gun violence today, and they turned out to be anti-climactic. There were no surprises, unless you expected him to mention the culture of violence fostered by Democratic-party donors in Hollywood and the video-game industry. He didn’t. The administration’s gun proposals turned out to be retreads. Obama could have tried something new, perhaps something more sweeping: a ban on all semiautomatic rifles, perhaps, or even a ban that includes some handguns. Instead, the White House paper that explains the president’s proposals says the administration wants to ban “military-style

Thank you Comrade Obama for saving new generations from the American way of life. All this time I just thought you were a tax and spend socialist.

I was just reading the headlines on a local paper and the breaking news was some woman had been shot in the leg walking down the street.I´m sure she´s laying in the hospital bed wondering why Obama´s exe. orders didn´t help her.

The pure insanity of punishing law abiding citizens while the criminal element goes untouched is beyond my level of comprehension,just like Obama defenders saying his kids are more important than other people´s kids.

At least Obama didn´t propose putting more signs up around schools..Or did he?

It seems the purpose of all this is simply to cement the messages "Democrats Care" and "Republicans Don´t Care" into the already clouded minds of the electorate. To fully implement socialism with a disarmed citizenry, the pro-Obama majority must be made still larger and unable to "revert" in sympathy back to constitutionalism. Painting Democrats - regardless of their actions or the failed results of their actions - as moral superiors is definitely the way to go, especially as no resistance to this arrogant stance is ever, ever offered by the GOP. Game and match: Obama.

I still think that he´s using the Newtown tragedy to get control of the nation´s debt ceiling. We´ll be SO relieved to get off easy when we were ready to tear the Republic apart by resisting siezure with force, we won´t notice when Obama rescues his "signaure legislation" (Obamacare) by swiping control of the purse strings from a weak and ineffectual congress.

The next step will to be enact Obamacare coverage penalties for lying to your doctor about guns, similar to lying about smoking for life insurance.

John, you are missing the point. Not every proposal will impact all types of murders equally, because not every type of murderer is the same.

You have determined criminals...they will steal, come up with other options, etc. Yes, they may kill while conducting crimes, but these aren´t your mass murderers of innocents.

You have family/acquaintance violence of passion. On rare occasions these take out several family members/acquaintances at once, but these are generally instant crimes of passion. Most of the knife or bare hand murders are here.

And then you have the Tucson, Aurora and Newtown type mass murderers - delusional and/or psychotic individuals. If you can make ir more difficult for this group to get a gun or magazine, then they don´t have the mental resources to dream up alternatives which are not part of their delusion. They are highly unlikely to try to steal one already in existence, except one already in their home, such as in Newtown. Doctors do need to ask such individuals and their families about weapons; Nancy Lanza should not have had so many weapons, so much ammunition, in her home with Adam living there.

The seminar poster,The Lagomorph, misses the point. Obama´s proposals will do nothing to prevent the types of mass shootings which this E.O. is touted as targeting. If Obama and the left were really serious about killings and violence, they would focus on cracking down on gangs and implementing common sense crime control measures. He´s not, hence these stupid E.O.s. As usual, the left and the Lagomorph eat this up with a spoon. He ´´cares.´´

But does nothing except posture.

And no, Dr.s have no right digging into your personal life on the orders of the government.

Is the Lagomorph´s real name Winston Smith?

#10, Adam Lanza had 3 weapons he stole from his mother: two pistols and a rifle. And you think that´s a lot of weapons? That´s the minimum you should have to defend your home.

The only thing Nancy Lanza did wrong was to not move a day sooner to have her son committed.

"Doctors do need to ask such individuals and their families about weapons; "

0bama´s goal is to deputize doctors in order for them to ask all their patients about guns. My husband and I refuse to answer those questions on medical forms, and we will never have that discussion with any physician. :-)

Actually, he´s not directing doctors to ask about guns--he´s just saying that they are not prohibited from doing so (which is open to dispute, and disputes are already in the making). I think that "appoint an ATF director" says a lot about what´s going on here--it´s flagrant "padding", just something to give him another another EO to list so he will look like he´s "doing something". I´m kind of surprised, he´s kind of voting "present" on this one and tossing it into Cogress´ lap IMO.

They are setting precedence. By allowing these EO´s about guns to stand because we don´t think they are that bad, he sets precedence for using the EO for gun control in the future with more harsh legislation.

#10, the Newtown and Aurora murderers are both highly intelligent men. They would certainly have devised some other way to cause the mayhem they craved.

You seem to be forgetting, too, that Holmes had rigged/booby-trapped his apartment to explode, in order to distract the first responders. He would have succeeded in that, too, had his trigger device fired off correctly. It took authorities days to clear out his explosives.

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district. Strouse’s candidacy reflects an emerging

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Sponsored by the Poynter journalism center and funded by the McCormick Foundation of Chicago, we gathered in a city that witnessed 506 homicides last year. The idea, I take it

Report: Carbon Emissions

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

Lately these protesters have been infiltrating orientation sessions and campus tours for prospective students, mostly high school juniors traveling with their parents.

Behind the Dismal Jobs Numbers:
The ‘New’ Economy Takes Shape

Posted By: Dreadnought- 4/6/2013 8:27:24 PM     Post Reply
It is amazing just how wrong economists were in their predictions for the number of jobs that were to be created in March. The “consensus” figure was 200,000 — a far cry from the actual number created which was 88,000. Totally “unexpected,” as usual. In one way, you can’t blame them. After a better than average gain in February of 236,000 (revised upward this month to 268,000), along with some positive numbers in housing and consumer spending, there were no doubt many analysts who began breathing a sigh of relief and believing that the long-awaited jobs recovery was upon us.

Rich Lowery in the New York Post (4-02-2013) accuses the liberals of being the new climate deniers, considering that they don´t recognize that there´s been no global warming for the last fifteen years. This shouldn´t surprise Lowery. When the liberals hang onto the neck of a cause, they don´t let go. They have ignored murders, rapes, wars, nuclear proliferation, and everything wrong with the world to focus in on their little area -- the horror of carbon emissions. You´d think liberals would have learned from their earlier panic about overpopulation

President Obama will propose a budget next week that embraces a risky strategy of courting Republicans for a grand bargain on the debt while angering Democratic allies with cuts to the nation’s entitlement programs. White House officials said Friday that Obama’s budget would cut Medicare and Social Security and ask for less tax revenue than he has previously sought. The budget, to be released Wednesday, will fully incorporate the offer Obama made to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) during December’s “fiscal cliff” talks — which included $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction through spending cuts and tax increases.
