More bad news from the NY Post this morning:

The White House is leaning on Mayor Bloomberg to help create a broader package of federal gun-violence prevention initiatives than just bans on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips, according to a report yesterday.

Bloomberg, one of the most outspoken national gun-control advocates, has been critical of President Obama on the issue, and observers say the White House’s outreach could be an effort to win him over.

“We have made what we want done clear,” Bloomberg spokesman Marc LaVorgna said yesterday.

A White House working group headed by Vice President Joe Biden is looking at requiring universal background checks for gun buyers, tracking the movement and sale of weapons through a national database, strengthening mental-health checks and stiffening penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors, sources told The Washington Post.

The White House has had regular contact with Bloomberg aides, the paper said. [...]

Next think you know Obama will be tapping Piers Morgan for ideas as well. If this doesn’t make their agenda clear I’m not sure what will.

Republicans must hold their ground against this crap and not give in to the feel-good compromise-y moment of thinking they are actually accomplishing something with these new laws. As it’s been pointed out over and over, Connecticut has some of the toughest gun laws on the books including an assault weapons ban.

Alert from Karen B. It begins, NJ Mayor offers $1000.00 to people to turn in their neighbors who own guns. I sent a separate email to our members in NJ. For us that do not live in NJ GET ON THE PHONE to Mayor Booker’s office. This is the start of Nazi Germany here in America. Newark is one of the poorest communities in New Jersey and the Mayor has this kind of money to circulate for people turning in their neighbors?? Where did he get this money. I think we can all figure that one out. PLEASE watch this video of him pleading with the people of Newark to turn in their neighbors and get $1000. THIS MUST STOP NOW!! Hammer his phone lines. Mayor Booker’s office number is:

(973) 733-6400

If they want to generate REAL money they should pay a reward to anybody who turns in a welfare cheat.

I'm just not worried about all this blustering on gun control. There are far too many gun owners in this country, and far too many unregistered guns. I don't see the average American (normal American, not liberal nut) playing along with any of this nonsense. It just doesn't scare me. We are too armed and too willing to defend that right in this country. As much as people despise Obama and the government, this is picking a fight that big-eared fool can't win. He can threaten. He can talk tough behind his Presidential Seal. He can't win this fight.

True, we must beware about what happened during Katrina.

At this point, this country is headed to Civil War. Perhaps Obama and the libtards think they can win. I don't.

a side note, mostly to those who consider the mental cases:

One question is - was Kathy Boudin crazy ? Well then why was she hanging around with bank robbers and people making bombs and shooting cops ?

another issue is this: when someone focuses on the mentally ill, what about people who egg them on, and try to manipulate them ? I have seen that on two occasions. One guy at work was ALWAYS trying to get a guy, who had mental problems, to do something that would get him fired, always goading and provoking. Finally the guy threw a punch, and was let go as a result.

What seems like a psychological problem is often just as much social as psychological. Charles Manson would be an extreem example. How did he get those girls to use knives to carve up those victims ?

so, was somebody egging on Adam Lanza ? I bet that is a lot more relevant

than whether he used a bushmaster. why aren't those politicians considering this question ?

This is quite typical of the bloombutt. As he has for years, amassed one of the largest and most prolific gun collections on the planet. This include such weapon as AT-4's, Rocket launchers, Torpedo launchers and numerous subthompsons. So once again bloombutt has proven himself just that! I guess once you go hypocrite you can never return!!

Speaking of Piers Morgan ... here's a piece of news from a source he's gotta respect: the good old leftie BBC:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20901612

"Stun guns with a voltage 20 times stronger than police Tasers can be illegally imported into the UK with ease, a BBC investigation has found.

Possessing a stun gun carries a maximum jail sentence of 10 years but Inside Out bought two devices by mail order - which both made it through customs.

The BBC also obtained figures showing police have seized hundreds on the streets of London in recent years.

The UK Border Force (UKBF) insists it is tackling the problem.

Statistics obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show the Metropolitan Police has investigated more than 200 crimes involving the weapons in the past three years.

Over the same period they seized about 500 stun guns.

The weapons are legally manufactured abroad - but cannot be bought in the UK."

Yep - criminals are mainly known for their strict observance of the law ...

Mind - our LyingScreamingMeejah haven't reported on any of this.

"A White House working group headed by Vice President Joe Biden..."

There ya' go! Weeeeeee! Obama, Joey B. and the Mayor of NYC.

What a team huh, reminiscent of Athos, Porthos and Aramis wouldn't you say?

I am truly inspired by this impressive mini-think-tank. However, consider this much less impressive alternative. Have the best reader in DC's fourth grade read the 2nd amendment to O'...cuz you don't have to be smarter than a fifth grader, just at parity with the education level of a high-achieving fourth grader...preferably home-schooled.

The 2nd amendment is as plain a statement as I've ever seen. Does it leave room for ambiguity? No it doesn't. Just read it, understand it, abide by it, then move on to shutting the h*ll up about it, OK? It says what it means and means what it says. I mean, "...shall not be infringed" means you can't even touch it. Can't augment it, can't morph it, can't pare it.

Anyway, I'm way ahead of you swashbuckling heroes. Whatever you come up with, call it "The Homicidal Maniac Protection Act". You know, throw some honesty in there. Truth in advertising and all that rot.

No dissing of Athos, Porthos and Aramis here, by comparing them to those three scumbags!

Athos, Porthos and Aramis at least knew how to fight properly - that lot would faint even thinking of having to hold a sabre or epee: there might be blood ...

Considering the subject matter of their group, they would probably take offense at your referring to them as the Three Musketeers. Perhaps it would be more appropriate calling them Moe, Larry, and Curly. Just a thought.

But...But...But...He said:

"When you all go home and you're talking to your buddies and you say, ah 'He wants to take my gun away.' You've heard it here, I'm on television so everybody knows it. I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in people's lawful right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won't take your handgun away." Barry O September 9, 2008

So not to worry, right? Barry will not come to you house and take your guns away...

It all depends on the meaning of what "I" is.

Of course he won't because he wouldn't make it past the first one. He will order the military and law enforcement to do it and order the state Governors to demand the National Guard participates.

Obama said:

“I will not have another debate with this Congress over whether or not they should pay the bills that they’ve already racked up. If Congress refuses to give the U.S. government the ability to repay these bills on time, the consequences for the global economy would be catastrophic—far worse than a fiscal cliff.”

WeThePeople should say:

"We will not negotiate our 2nd Amendment rights - ever. If you refuse to give the US population the ability to defend themselves as the unalienable right that it is, then the consequences for your administration would be catastrophic - far worse than what you have done to us and our economy - so help us God."

Take this as a warning shot.

Mark Levin said it well. No laws or statutes passed by Congress can interfere with fundamental 2nd Amendment rights.

This is all a distraction. So is Hagel.
