Is President Obama still a threat to gun rights?
Gun Rights Roundup
by Buckeye Firearms Association
Some mainstream media pundits claim that Obama is not a threat to gun rights. Their reasoning? After a year in office, he has not done or said anything significant about guns. But is that reason to believe that he has turned pro-gun or that he has adopted an agnostic position on the Second Amendment?
Let’s take a look at the record. As a senator and presidential candidate, Obama …
* Endorsed a complete ban on handgun ownership in Illinois.
* Supported gun bans in Chicago and Washington, D.C.
* Supported the elimination of concealed carry nationwide.
* Voted for the prosecution of citizens who use firearms in self-defense.
* Voted to allow lawsuits intended to bankrupt the firearms industry.
* Supported reinstating the Clinton assault weapons ban.
* Voted to ban rifle ammunition used for hunting and sport.
* Supported gun registration for law-abiding gun owners.
* Refused to sign a court brief affirming the individual right to bear arms.
* Served on the Board of the Joyce Foundation, the #1 source of funds for anti-gun groups.
* Supported a ban on gun stores within five miles of any school or park.
* Voted to prevent gun owners from knowing when Illinois ran record searches.
* Supported mandatory micro-stamping for gun manufacturers.
* Supported the creation and enforcement of mandatory waiting periods.
* Supported the one-gun-a-month rule on gun sales.
* Supported banning cheap handguns.
* Supported banning police departments from reselling firearms.
* Supported mandatory training for all gun owners regardless of cost.
* Supported a ban on gun ownership for anyone under 21.
Are we to believe that a liberal politician with an anti-gun record like this has so quickly changed his views? What will Obama’s agenda look like if he’s able to push through his health care bill and move on to other issues?
It is naïve, bordering on foolish, to assume that Obama is no longer a threat to gun rights. He was, is, and will remain a threat until he is ex-President Obama.

Pennsylvania – Three Reported Missing After Animal Rights Activists Take “War on Leather” to Motorcycle Gang Rally.~
Johnstown, PA: Local and state police scoured the hills outside rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after reports of three animal rights activists going missing after attempting to protest the wearing of leather at a large motorcycle gang rally this weekend. Two others, previously reported missing, were discovered by fast food workers “duct taped inside several fast food restaurant dumpsters,” according to police officials.
“Something just went wrong,” said a still visibly shaken organizer of the protest. “Something just went horribly, horribly, wrong.”
The organizer said a group of concerned animal rights activist groups, “growing tired of throwing fake blood and shouting profanities at older women wearing leather or fur coats,” decided to protest the annual motorcycle club event “in a hope to show them our outrage at their wanton use of leather in their clothing and motor bike seats.” “In fact,” said the organizer. “Motorcycle gangs are one of the biggest abusers of wearing leather, and we decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using it… Ergo, they should stop.”
According to witnesses, protesters arrived at the event in a vintage 1960’s era Volkswagen van and began to pelt the gang members with balloons filled with red colored water, simulating blood, and shouting “you’re murderers” to passers by. This, evidently, is when the brouhaha began.
“They peed on me!!!” charged one activist. “They grabbed me, said I looked like I was French, started calling me ‘La Trene’, and duct taped me to a tree so they could pee on me all day!”
“I…. I was trying to show my outrage at a man with a heavy leather jacket. And, he… he didn’t even care.. I called him a murderer, and all he said was, ‘You can’t prove that.’ Next thing I know is he forced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle all day, and not left me off, because his girl friend was out of town and I was almost a woman.”
Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers “farted on their heads.”
Police officials declined comments on any leads or arrests due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, however, organizers for the motorcycle club rally expressed “surprise” at the allegations.
“That’s preposterous, ” said on high ranking member of the biker organizing committee. “We were having a party, and these people showed up and were very rude to us. They threw things at us, called us names, and tried to ruin the entire event. So, what did we do? We invited them to the party! What could be more friendly than that? You know, just because we are all members of motorcycle clubs does not mean we do not care about inclusiveness. Personally, I think it shows a lack of character for them to be saying such nasty things about us after we bent over backwards to make them feel welcome.”
When confronted with the allegations of force feeding the activists meat, using them as ad hoc latrines, leaving them incapacitated in fast food restaurant dumpsters, and ‘farting on their heads,’ the organizer declined to comment in detail. “That’s just our secret handshake,” assured the organizer.
