On March 30, the 30th anniversary of the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, Jim Brady, who sustained a debilitating head wound in the attack, and his wife, Sarah, came to Capitol Hill to push for a ban on the controversial “large magazines.” Brady, for whom the law requiring background checks on handgun purchasers is named, then met with White House press secretary Jay Carney. During the meeting, President Obama dropped in and, according to Sarah Brady, brought up the issue of gun control, “to fill us in that it was very much on his agenda,” she said.
“I just want you to know that we are working on it,” Brady recalled the president telling them. “We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar”....

As I have predicted since the inception of this blog, the individual in the white house, a known anti-gun fetishist, has again let it slip in public that he intends, like rats & roaches, to use underhanded & illegal tactics to do what he and his cronies are unable to accomplish in the light of day: Ban your right to self-defense by taking/outlawing your firearms. The assault on the law-abiding firearm owning citizens of the USA by their own government is still in play and these unrealistic fools who have dropped the ball all over the world (think Libya, Afghanistan, and most recently & blatantly, Israel for example) are again displaying their Marxist theoretical ignorance, contempt for the citizenry, and contempt for the military virtues (except when it suits them for a photo Op mind you) shamelessly & arrogantly in the open, miscalculating again. This country is filled to the brim with Korean War, Viet-Nam war, actions from Grenada to Panama, Iraq & Afghanistan, etc; Veterans, (which explains his undercover push to get the V.A. to get all vets classified as mentally "unstable" and therefore unable to legally own firearms) all who have "seen the elephant", are not so easily pushed around, and know how to vote and shoot...Listen: We are all Americans, the best there ever was, have been, and are!. As the old canard postulates: Ballot box over cartridge box: We prefer the rule of law, not Monarchy, of which to him now has an obvious appeal, despite bleating about his family members being lowly cooks for the British army, and related prior hatred of the Brits which had him sending back Winston Churchill's bust in the WH to England when he first entered the WH. No accident, after being schooled & spanked by Ben Netanyahu, he decided to run crying like a little girl and curry favor over in the UK, a country with no regard for firearms rights whatsoever! - blame it on the Irish, right?. Law-abiding US gunowners just want to be left alone. But if this, stupidly, blindly and ignorantly, keeps up and diplomacy fails?.............(S9)
