When is Obama going to start banning guns like the NRA told me he would?

During the 2008 campaign, I received numerous letters and emails from the NRA stating that Obama had the following 10 point plan -

1.) Ban use of firearms for home defense
2.) Pass Federal laws eliminating your Right-to-Carry
3.) Ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns
4.) Close down 90% of the gun shops in America
5.) Ban rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sport shooting
6.) Increase federal taxed on guns and ammunition by 500 percent
7.) Restore voting rights for five million criminals including those who have been convicted of using a gun to commit a violent crime
8.) Expand the Clinton semi-auto ban to include millions more firearms
9.) Mandate a government issued license to purchase a firearm
10.) Appoint judges to the U.S. Supreme Court and Federal judiciary who share his views on the Second Amendment

I’m sure many of you remember receiving the same letter. His first term is over halfway done now, when will he begin to enact these laws?

Surely the NRA couldn’t have misled me in attempt to scare people into voting Republican, could they?

Why Support Gun Control Knowing The Results?

When gun control got stricter, on the state and Federal levels, the murder rate climbed, and stayed up over 9 per 100,000, often going over 10 per 100,000. As gun control was made less strict on the state and Federal levels, starting with the Gun Owners’ Protection Act and the Florida Concealed Carry law, the murder rate has dropped to 5 per 100,000, making it quite obvious that GUN CONTROL KILLS.

So why do the blood thirsty people want to pass laws which have been proven to cost lives?

Pre-gun control in the UK saw rates of .2 per 100,000, and each gun control law was accompanied by an increase in the murder rate.

Why are there people who support laws originally passed to protect the KKK murderers, (forming the very foundation of Jim Crow laws), and which even now cost lives?
New York City has the oldest gun control law on the books, the Sullivan Act, from 1911. The Sullivan Act was passed so that the criminals being run by Tammany Hall political/crime boss Big Tim Sullivan could make crime safer for HIS criminals.

As for a 1911 law causing a decrease in crime, it went up to almost 15 per 100,000, then started dropping almost 80 years after guncontrol was imposed. The New York city murder rate started dropping in 1995, and the stricter amendments to the NYC Sullivan Act were passed in 1998-causing the murder rate to quit dropping for three years.

In 1995, better policing methods were introduced, putting the focus on the criminal instead of the gun.
Tyler, you need to get more current data than 1994.

curio and relic license question?

I just got the application to get this license. if i am only going to sell to(or buy) for family and friends that have the right to own a gun (no criminals,) will this permit allow it? the main reason i want one is to buy old war rifles and ammo for them cheap for myself, but i have others i know that have old rifles that would love to get ammo for them cheap. any input would be great…. also, for an FFL, would i have to sell them to others, like buy guns and sell them to those that can legally own them in order to have one? i would love to just get them online for myself, but i’m not sure if that is allowed.

Who out there in Answer-land would like to see stricter gun laws?

I personally feel that keeping guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens will only encourage the scum among us to be more brazen. Remember folks, criminals aren’t going to hand over their weapons just because Congress writes a law saying that we all have to. Doesn’t it make more sense for us to keep our guns so we can protect ourselves from predators?

Will criminals soon be the only ones who can purchase a fire arm?

For years lawmakers have defeated bills requiring vendors at gun shows to conduct background checks of would-be buyers. yet such legislation squeaked by the senate courts of justice committee by an 8 t0 7 vote this week and is poised for a vote in the full senate. Politicians are trying to restrict the average citizens ability to purchase firearms and if successful only criminals will be able to purchase firearms when they choose to without being subject to any kind of check. Currently only licensed gun dealers are required to conduct these checks but if this legislation passes even unlicensed vendors will be required to without the resources to do so, this would effectively end gun shows and sales for any unlicensed vendors. Criminals buy there firearms out of the trunk of other criminals cars so this legislation will not prevent anyone from purchasing a firearm except law abiding citizens. how can these politicians be stopped?
Ihave an illinois FOID card and have already underwent a very stringent background check but if this legislation passes i will be subject to a check anytime i make a purchase.
