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?

Help in english seriously?? and actually read the question and if you can help thank you somuch?

Read the following opening to John Stossels’s article " Myth about Gun Control" and analyze the style of language that Stossel employ’s to engage his reader’s attention . Address why that style was employed.

Guns are dangerous.But myths are dangerous too. Myths about guns are very dangerous because they lead to bad laws. And bad laws kill people. " Don’t tell me this bill will not make a difference, "President Clinton, who signed the Brady Bill into law.

Sorry. Even the federal government can’t say it has made a difference. The Centers for Disease Control did and extensive review of various types of gun control: waiting periods,registration and licensing and bans on certain firearms. It found that th idea that gun control laws have reduced violent crime is simply a myth.

What does Alcohol and Tobacco have to do with the purpose of the ATF?

http://www.atf.gov/about/mission.htm

Here’s a link to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Originally, the ATF was formed to combat crimes committed by smugglers of bootleg alcohol and tobacco, which were illegal in this country before the 1920′s. Firearms were to be registered by their owners. Explosives were beyond most peoples comprehension.

The current mission statement of the ATF is "The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is a principal law enforcement agency within the United States Department of Justice dedicated to preventing terrorism, reducing violent crime, and protecting our Nation. The men and women of ATF perform the dual responsibilities of enforcing Federal criminal laws and regulating the firearms and explosives industries. We are committed to working directly, and through partnerships, to investigate and reduce crime involving firearms and explosives, acts of arson, and illegal trafficking of alcohol and tobacco products."

After prohibition, the mission statement changed and has been updated to what it is currently. Alcohol and Tobacco are legal now as long as you are a licensed distributor of these products.

So somewhere along the progress of America, a unhealthy alliance was made to distribute (make available) "unhealthy products" to the American People. Who were these people and why did they want to make alcohol and tobacco so readily available. Seems like the FDA dropped the ball on this one.

Do you think the NRA is just plain wrong in some of their policies?

They have fought against every act of congress to make firearms safer. They fought against trigger locks, they fought against better serial number protection, against the assault weapons ban, against handgun background checks, against closing the gun show loophole.

Aren’t some of these stances at best negligent, at worse criminally irresponsible to what we know about firearms saftey and preventing violent crime? Shouldn’t the NRA get propose Gun control legislation that we all can live with, instead of fighting tooth and nail against even something as harmless as trigger locks and background checks?
Again I see right-wingers reading something that isn’t here. I am not for the abolition of all firearms in America. I am for our nation standing up and doing what is right; we need better laws and regulation to keep firearms out of the hands of dangerous people.

The NRA has an opportunity to be a part of a comprehensive solution to the gun problem; shouldn’t they get on board instead of standing in the way?
