Obama is coming for your guns, been hearing that for 7 years and nothing, stay paranoid.

Hint: It ain't 'cause he wouldn't if he could.

Actually gun laws were relaxed allowing guns in National Parks.

In the first two years after the gun ban, they confiscated around 650,000 guns. We have around 300-350,000,000 guns in our country. That's millions with an M.

_"Home invasions the new 'fad'"_

"HOME invasions have swept Sydney with crooks "storming " into houses in the latest crime fad to hit our streets.
"From Point Piper to Penrith the victims range from millionaires to housing commission tenants.
"Since the beginning of the year there have been at least 24 "home invasions" made public, many of them violent."

Yeah that pesky Constitution! Nothing but an outdated rag, eh Lexus? I have a better idea, how about you and Dear Leader that you blindly swoon over like some sort of god pack your things and move to Australia, and stop trying to p*** on the Constitution, and restricting the rights of American citizens?

I think no other state in the Northeast or Mid-Atlantic has a stronger "gun culture" and respect for the 2nd Amendment than my home state of Pennsylvania. We have a long tradition of hunting, and there are dozens of public gamelands.


I know of only a few people who want to abolish the 2nd Amendment entirely, but I do see a groundswell of public opinion to close all the loopholes as far purchasing a firearm. Gun sales by non-authorized sellers or failure to abide by restrictions on the seller is an issue. A lot of folks want guns not readily available to criminals, terrorists, non-citizens, or the insane.


If some sort of reasonable condition isn't implemented on the sale of weapons and ammo, there may very well be a movement to repeal the 2nd Amendment.
