Default Could this really happen?

Let's say President Obama wins another term. Could you see he and his pals trying to pass another Assault Weapons Ban?

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=6960824&page=1

I know the article is old, but I thought it would be a good source of information to back up my question.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,289373,00.html

Here's another one.

With an intense media propaganda campaign, like the one which caused the "Assault Weapons" hysteria twenty years ago, I think it's entirely possible.

Things are a bit different this time - we have a couple of recent SCOTUS decisions on our side - but the Obama administration and the Democrats in Congress have already demonstrated that they are oblivious to Constitutional constraints.

If Odumbo wins another term, I'm afraid an Assault Weapons Ban will be the least of our worries.

You have that right. We'll need the firearms for our subsistance living made necessary by the crashed economy.

I expect we will see legislation ruining our economy and all of our Rights enacted as revenge by the lame duck congress right after the Novenber election. Why wait until after November 2012 when you can destroy America now?

The next attack on the 2nd Amendment will not come via Congress and the President.

I will come through the back door of an Executive Order or a Regulation put out by some Federal agency like the BATF or OSHA or the EPA.

I suspect they will not attempt anything so limited as a ban on certain types of weapons (manufacturers just work around any such limits).

It will be a ban of most ammunition over .22 rimfire on the basis that it is "armor piercing". That will make all our guns obsolete as soon as inventories are depleted.

The libs LOVE a crisis.

The most likely "crisis" would be triggered by the first mass killing after the Presidential election.

Yes, they will use a domestic terror crisis to declare martial law, and outlaw ALL firearms.

That is the next play. False flag terror event....seizure of all power.

There won't be any legislative effort at all.

I suspect it to take place BEFORE the 2012 election. Total seizure of all Executive power - dictatorship.

These people are NOT going to go away.

And, if you think the elections are NOT rigged, then you are naive. Even IF there is an election - it will be a person that they totally control. Who's the "they"? Do some research, you'll figure it out.

Do it before they take the internet away too, that, they WILL do too.

This forum will cease to exist.

Prepare now folks, this is not a joke.

Right now the Democrats have a mountain to climb come November. We won't see any "anti-gun" rhetoric from the Left/Ds that will raise its height. After November I suspect the current status quo will prevail.

Things aren't looking good for an Obama second term, even this early in his first. Too many negatives. Any hope of a second is, IMO, ephemeral, unless the most egregious election frauds are successfully accomplished.

In that case any, and all, bets are off regarding domestic policies on the Net, firearms, public assembly, and a host of other commonly-accepted freedoms !! >MW

If you really want to read a great trilogy of books I recently read the book written by Matthew Bracken; 1st book "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" a novel about the cost of freedom in the age of terror/ 2nd book - Domestic Enemies- the reconquista/ 3rd book- Foreign Enemies and Traitors. It looks at the gun control aspect from every angle, these books are a great read...If you like to read please google Matthew Bracken and then a couple of the titles....the novels blew me away, what if fiction comes to fruition- scary!

Here is a link to the books, I have no stake in the books only hope more freedom loving Americans have the opportunity to read these books..http://enemiesforeignanddomestic.com/

Yes, but you are forgetting all that stimulus money that hasn't been spent. Obummer will probably let it loose during his campaign and all the lemmings will go for the bait and re elect the jerk.

I agree with the previous post that it will probably be during a Martial law type scenario that guns are banned. They did this during Katrina.

Our economy is about to collapse and they know it. Whether someone has planned it this way or it is just the ignorance of our government, once it crashes there could be civil unrest and martial law would be declared.

I too am expecting a lot of executive orders to be inflicted on us after the mid term election. I also expect the Dems to lose confidence in Obama and give us someone like Madame Hillary, or even Bill part II.

If he wins another term, he would need to ban all firearms because the majority of Americans would know that the election was rigged.

From what I have seen on the news the past couple of days there is no love between Obama and the military. I seriously believe that any move to take our guns away will be met with resistance from our military. Without the military in his corner he would be unable to pull any such stunts and succeed at it.

I agree that our military probably would stand down, or help,but......what about the blue hats?

Here's another one.

Obama has enraged this country with his wanting to do everything to discourage illegal immigrant roundups and deportation so he WON'T be reelected in 2012.
Obama paranoia has caused ammo and gun prices to soar, let's use some common sense. He won't have the votes because not all democrats are anti gun.

Nothing from this administration would surprise me. I am for hope and change. I hope to change our administration and all of the liberal lunatics before our country goes completely down the tube. I just hope we are not too late already. If you are not registered to vote please do and then make it to the polls in November. We can start there, then we can all start looking at getting obama's a$$ out of there in 2 years.

It'll only happen when the dead, illegals, felons, etc., get to stop being counted.

I've seen it too many times with no action by anyone.

There is NO end to the games the liberals play to garner votes.

That's quite possibly true... there's also an addage though...

I heard the strangest thing tonight at work. A guy who works the third shift came up to me and asked if I had heard about the 2010 income tax forms having the question about how many guns you own so they can be taxed.

I can't print what my exact answer was but basically told him that it was probably untrue but if it were on there, that it would be one question that would go unanswered.

I know it is a lot of BS but have any of you heard such as this?
