    This is a significant development. They basically said that legal gun ownership; this thing that was once there to protect you is now considered some hostile act. This is not good for the NRA and it’s not good for gun owners or really anyone.

    Now I am not much of a gun guy however I generally support the second amendment…. And you want to know WHY they created the second amendment in the first place?

    Wake Up.

  3. Good to see they’re coming out of their selective coma, now that Chump has said anyone conceal-carrying is a terrorist.

    Hopefully they’ve known since the beginning that Chump is bad news for them. Remember in his first term, he stated that he would take the guns first and worry about due process later. It’s the most open threat to the second amendment that had ever been uttered by a president up to that point, yet there was generally crickets around it.

    The NRA also hopefully thanks Obama for the boost in firearm sales that he initiated by being black and a democrat.

  4. This not surprising once fascists gain power they have to disarm their enemies. It’s clear from Pam’s letter they want the voter records. The 2nd amendment crowd is very quiet on this.
