“White House weighs broad gun-control agenda …”
North Carolina –-(Ammoland.com)-So read a recent headline to a “Washington Post” article which dispels any remaining doubt that current administrative proposals are limited to semi-automatic firearms.
Noting that Obama is trying to recruit large gun retailers such as Wal Mart, the piece goes on to say:
“The White House is weighing a far broader and more comprehensive approach to curbing the nation’s gun violence than simply reinstating an expired ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition, according to multiple people involved in the administration’s discussions.
“A working group led by Vice President Biden is seriously considering measures backed by key law enforcement leaders that would require universal background checks for firearm buyers, track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database, strengthen mental health checks, and stiffen penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors, the sources said.”
UNIVERSAL GUN REGISTRATION & LICENSING
Hunters, concealed handgun permit-holders, and others who think this is just about so-called “assault weapons” can now wake up and smell the coffee: Obama is proposing nothing less than universal gun registration. And as we have seen in Britain, Australia and even the City of New York, registration is the necessary prelude to confiscation.
PRESERVING FREEDOM
You need to tell friends and neighbors that this is no longer about ugly-looking black guns, but rather about the intent of federal police agencies to track and monitor the 40+% of the American public who have the audacity to own guns.
It isn’t about “assault weapons,” it isn’t even about gun control: This is now about preserving the very freedoms guaranteed you by the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.
As reward for your efforts to preserve freedom, incidentally, USA TODAY ( https://tiny.cc/ixhnqw ) just branded you a “special interest” which is on the “ideological fringe.” Will you let them define freedom as “extremism?”

DELIVER THIS MESSAGE
Dear [Congressman or Senator]:
According to reports from inside the Obama administration as reported by “The Washington Post,” the administration plans nothing less than a full assault on American freedom, beginning with universal registration of guns and gun owners.
Beyond even the draconian ban on semi-automatic firearms being proposed by Senator Dianne Feinstein – which would entail dramatic expansion of police powers by the chronically abusive BATFE – what the administration proposes will result in the government tracking activities of millions of law-abiding citizens.
Absolutely nothing about any of these proposals is acceptable, meaning no “compromise” is possible. The proposals must die. Period. If they pass in any form, the result will be willful non-compliance by millions of otherwise law-abiding Americans who will then become “criminals.” What happens then remains to be seen, but will almost certainly result in violence.
Only you can stop the destruction of American freedom. I will be closely monitoring your actions via Grass Roots North Carolina legislative alerts.
Respectfully,

Over my dead body, Jargon!
There is no way to regulate private sales of firearms without a national database and criminal penalties for not registering one's firearms. Almost everyone is in favor of conducting background checks on ALL gun buyers, so this national gun registration plan is the only way to get this done. There are lots of federal prisons, so there will be plenty of room for those who refuse to follow the law. Just think how many people refuse to follow drug laws and go to prison. Same with gun owners, someday.
The ONLY future firearms legislation acceptable to any real American would be a COMPLETE repeal of the 1968 federal firearm fiasco and NOTHING ELSE added to further diminish OUR 2ND AMENDMENT GUARANTEE OF PROHIBITED NATURAL RIGHTS . In point of fact ALL firearms laws on the books passed since 1300 should be repealed as a process in resolving the murder rate issue in the United States .
The entire spin on the Sandy Hook shooting was centered around the Bushmaster that WAS IN THE CAR'S TRUNK the whole time, was never fired. The punk took in 2 pistols to do the dirty work.
This sounds like their infringing our Second Amendment Rights.
Tough talk! Lets see how many of you are truely willing to "live free or die" rather than registering your guns. I bet not many.
Tough talk. We will see how many truely are willing to "live free or die" before registering their guns. I bet not many.
One of the things the gun control nuts will try, is to propose the moon, while settling for their actual goal: a step ladder.
We must give them NOTHING! NO compromise of our rights is allowable or justified!
Registration leads to confiscation.What is this 1935 Nazi germany.Only thing I'm registering is my motorcycle once a year.Obama is a liberal socialist and he's going to destroy the freedoms of this great nation if we let him.
We really need to engage at a level unheard of in the history of defending our "Constitution right to the 2nd amendment" Writing letters, e-mails, phone calls go unheard or even read. Standing in a massive assembly at the white house is really the only answer. All of this has been scripted as a back-up in the event that "Fast&Furious" debacle did not get the results they wanted!! And YES we would have to take time off work, and for me fly all the way over there from were I am living the Bamms 2nd term "Calif" Let's Roll!!!~~ô¿ô~~
This line of though is kind of paranoid don't you think?
So far Obama has proposed nothing, so this article is rank speculation
Biden is meeting with the NRA and gun groups today, so it's clear they're not planning anything radical. This article just frightens people, makes them buy more guns, and enriches the US arms industry.
Just a word to set all you Chicken Little's at ease!
This was in reference to the 2nd amendment, but applies
to all constitutional amendments.
Jay Sekulow, Chief Council of the ACLJ (American Center of Law and Justice) said that "NO" presidential executive order can override a constitutional amendment.
