Post a link to one statement Obama has made that justifies your panic.

Again, if banning weapons meant that criminals would still get those weapons regardless then why don't criminals have tanks, and rocket launchers and machine guns, because the US government regulation of those dangerous weapons prevents them from getting in the hands of criminals.

So a ban on certain weapons is already working extending it to other weapons and vigorously enforcing the ban will work.

The problem is that gun nuts lie and say you can't keep weapons out of the hands of criminals when in fact the US government does keep all sorts of very dangerous weapons out of the hands of criminals right now.

Once again gun nuts lie.
You are a special kind, aren't you?

Why are you so passionate about limiting our rights? What's your motive?

In one breath he claims he supports the 2nd Amendment and in another breath, he pushes the failed Assault Weapon Ban. You know if the AWB was a great success, I may even support it but it's an epic fail.

Don't get more hypocritical than that.

No Chuck, the thread is about why people in the gun community or so afraid of Obama when he has been nothing but common sense and friendly towards gun owners.

He has a tough job, he is everyone's president, not just gun owners. Can you imagine the political pressure that is on him to do something about these mass shootings?

Those Newtown children were all of our children. This is not going to go without response.

He will do absolutely nothing that will affect lawful gun owners.

So why the panic?

Okay.. believe what ever you want. Doesn't Mexico have some pretty strict gun restrictions on it's citizens ? Using your logic there should be ZERO gun violence in Mexico right ?

So why all the panic? All the Obama hysteria by the gun owners? Do they panic like this over other things in their lives?

Wow is all I have to say.

Details emerge on gun control proposal coming Wednesday - CNN.com
Nutters on one side over-reacted thinking Obama was going to make major changes.
Nutters on the other side stupidly believed Obama would do anything more than make some window dressing style changes.
