Nick’s recent post about the Obama Administration’s decision to arm Syrian “rebels” resonated in my thinkenator. “These guns (at the moment, only small arms like AK pattern rifles, not including anti-tank or anti-air missiles) will be handed out without any background checks, registration or other hallmarks of the gun control plans that president Obama says are necessary in the United States.” I savored the ridiculousness of that position at my local gun store. Obama’s Boyz don’t want polite, tax-paying Americans without a criminal record to buy black rifles but they’re OK with handing out fully automatic firearms to religious/tribal fanatics in a land where the last time they had an extended period of peace was . . . never. There’s another, equally galling aspect to this . . .

The President of the United States has openly and condescendingly mocked Americans who say they need “assault rifles” to protect against the possibility of a tyrannical government. Yet he’s intent on providing assault rifles to “rebel” forces who oppose a “legitimate” (i.e., UN recognized) government. The President does so in the name of ending the slaughter that accompanies tyranny.

This is a point that’s not lost on . . . wait for it . . . The New York Times. Well, generally.
For nearly two years, the Obama administration has described the Syrian regime as having “lost all legitimacy” and “clinging to power.” And yet, it has surprisingly endured. That’s because neither assertion is really accurate. Mr. Assad still has strong support from many Syrians, including members of the Sunni urban class. While the assistance Syria receives from its external allies, like Iran and Russia, is important, it would be inconsequential if the Assad regime were not backed by a significant portion of the population.
The paper’s editorial concludes “Syria is like Iraq, except worse.” When it comes to Americans’ natural, civil and Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms, Obama is like Clinton, only worse. Something to keep in mind as the civilian disarmament industry continues its endless campaign to promote tyranny.

Also while they invade one sovereign nation after another and use our troops to do so,this globe trotter of a first lady hates the flag they serve under. Watch her hate for our nation in this and him shake his head in agreement.

Maybe Obama is planning on bringing the armed rebels to the US to help him take over America and become the first dictator of the US.

Or maybe he is just another hypocritical politician, shape shifting when it suits his needs.

Meh, wouldn't be the first time we have aided people in a war, we have been doing that since we started making weapons.

Oh and I should add, I do not support supplying the rebels in Syria with weapons. I am okay with supplying the refugees with humanitarian aid.

The more you talk about being disarmed the more they are going to think about disarming you.

Weapons dealers are not interested in giving aid - they are only interested in taking profit.
