How Soon Will Obama Attack the 2nd? Right Away!

For four years Obama has pretty much avoided gun owners because he knew the issue is political poison.

Now that he has a "mandate" for 4 more years, and as he said to Dimitri Medveydev, "I will have more freedom," the gloves have come off.

On Nov 7th, the Administration announced they are open to a renewed discussion of the UN Arms Trade Treaty.  The ATT failed to make headway in August after the US declared it was not appropriate to include civilian small arms.  So now, with more freedom, Obama is changing the US position and has invited new talks about worldwide gun control on March 18-28. Of course, Obama loves Executive Orders and will likely use them to implement many of the details of the ATT without a Congress-ratified Treaty. Thankfully, many Senators have reaffirmmed they will not support the ATT.  But that may not be enough to thwart the executive orders.  See here: US-senator-moran-reaffirms-senate-opposition-to-un-arms-trade-treaty

Diane Feinstein has also announced renewed efforts to re-invent the Assault Weapons Ban, her creation in 1994 that died in 2004 with no renewal support in the Congress.  This time she even wants to confiscate the "evil" black guns, as well as most semi-auto rifles and shotguns.

And there is talk of Susan Rice becoming the next Secretary of State.  Rice has been the UN Ambassador, and is very anti-gun.

And of course, Obama may very well be able to get two more Supreme Court judges appointed.  It is likely they will be like Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan and be anti-gun, regardless of what they say in their confirmation hearings.  Both the aforementioned essentially lied about how they would treat settled case law and historical precedent concerning the 2nd and the recent Heller and MacDonald cases.

Elections have consequences.  One of them will be a savage battle over 2nd Amendment rights.  I find it sad that so many Democrats can't seem to understand that they have actually voted for politicians who will destroy their basic civil rights when given the chance.  Obama and crew now have that chance.

P.S.  In the previous 4 years, Obama and Crew did all they could, albeit under the radar to destroy the 2nd Amendment:
- Executive order for the border states of CA, AZ, NM, TX so that gun dealers must reprot a sale of more that one semi-auto rifle in a week to one person.
- Banned re-import of 600,000 M1 Garands and M1 Carbines from Korea.  These are WW!! rifles with historical interest and not remotely of interest to criminals.
- DOJ spent enormous respources on opposing 2nd Amendment rights in the Supreme Court and at the state level.  Think Washington, DC gun ban, for one.
- And famously, Obama promised Sarah Brady that in his second term he would take up her cause openly, no longer "under the radar."
- And not least, his declaration in the 2nd debate that he will support a renewed "assault" weapons ban.

Benghazi - Seeing the Light at the LVRJ

The Las Vegas Review Journal supported Barack Obama in 2008.  I think they have changed their minds:

LVRJ editorial:     Benghazi-blunder-obama-unworthy-commander-in-chief

Excerpt:  "These behaviors go far beyond "spin." They amount to a pack of lies. To return to office a narcissistic amateur who seeks to ride this nation's economy and international esteem to oblivion, like Slim Pickens riding the nuclear bomb to its target at the end of the movie "Dr. Strangelove," would be disastrous."

Fiskers Burn While Sandy Sings

16 Fisker Karma electric cars burned after being swamped by storm surge in New Jersey.  Oops, maybe all the kinks in the battery systems haven't been sorted out?

The US DOE has given Fisker many millions to help them develop their electric and hybrid cars, which retail over $100,000.  Fisker is a Finnish company.

Benghazi - The Incompetence Shines Ever Brighter

Thank God for Sharyl Attkisson at CBS News.  She is one of the best and few MSM reporters actually covering the Benghazi mess.

Today she posted this:  New-documents-reveal-events-leading-up-to-benghazi-attack

The cover-up is getting deeper and broader.  And much sadder each day.

We now also learn that the top counterterrorism task force was not convened during teh consulate attack, which lasted 9 hours.  The White Situation Room was watching real time and supposedly Obama was in the loop an hour or two into the attack, and no one had the presence of mind to get the experts involved?
