Obama, Crooks and liars

Historically, gun registration is always a prelude to gun confiscation (“Canada may end registry of long guns” – Oct. 26).

Scores of murderous tyrants, like Hitler, have used gun registration lists to find, and seize, privately owned firearms.

Citizens, now subjects of “free nations,” like England and Australia, dutifully registered their guns. Later, those governments used registration lists to confiscate and destroy hundreds of thousands of privately owned firearms.

Gun registration has no impact on crime because only the law-abiding comply with the law.

Meanwhile, regional gun control extremists, such as associate editor Gary Crooks, continue to deny the irrefutable fact that Barack Obama is notoriously anti-gun, that the Democratic Party is the spearhead of the gun ban movement and that Obama only needs to appoint one more radical left “activist” justice to the Supreme Court, to reverse recent Second Amendment victories.

Obama recently met with Jim and Sarah Brady, says the Washington Post, and told them that his administration is working on gun control but “under the radar.” The Democrats’ insidious gun prohibition agenda has cost them dearly so Obama, like Crooks, is resorting to deception.
