What they are trying to do is redefine "Sporting Arms"
The average person see's a rifle with a wood stock and that's a "Hunting Rifle" if that gun is fiberglass and plastic it's an "Assault Rifle" even if the capabilities are the same.
That's the stigma that needs to be overcome.
And having people yelling about rebellion and impeachment is not doing anyone any favors.

It will be interesting to see what people think when Obama uses schoolchildren as props tomorrow when he makes his announcement.

that's a layup.....

if you agree with Obama you care deeply about little children and give him permission to do whatever he feels is necessary to keep them safe....

if you disagree with Obama you probably hate little children and want to see more of them shot.....


there should never be any assumption of civility, reason or expectation that this bunch will not resort to the most shameful of antics....they will demand that you not engage in certain behaviour(regardless of whether you intend to or have done so or not) just before they begin an all out campaign displaying exactly that behaviour...I wonder how much Americans will continue to stomach...



W.H. Releases Letters from Little Kids Pleading for Gun Control7:20 AM, Jan 16, 2013 • By DANIEL HALPER

The White House today released letters from little kids pleading for gun control, just hours before President Obama is to release a comprehensive proposal to limit guns and ammunition. The letters were released to the Associated Press in what appears to be a coordinated effort to help shape the narrative the day of Obama's announcement.

"Three days after six teachers and 20 students were killed by a rampaging gunman at their elementary school in Newtown, Conn., an 8-year-old from Maryland pulled out a sheet of paper and asked President Barack Obama for 'some changes in the laws with guns,'" the AP reports.

"It's a free country but I recommend there needs (to) be a limit with guns," Grant wrote in a letter dated Dec. 17. "Please don't let people own machine guns or other powerful guns like that."

In the days after the shooting, children around the country had the same idea as Grant. They put their feelings about the massacre on paper and sent those letters to a receptive White House.

"I am writing to ask you to STOP gun violence," wrote Tajeah, a 10-year-old from Georgia. "I am very sad about the children who lost their lives. So, I thought I would write to you to STOP gun violence."

Half way through the article, the AP admits, "The White House shared three such letters with The Associated Press, from young writers who seemed to agree that Obama should do what's necessary to make it harder for people to get guns."

White House spokesman Jay Carney announced yesterday that Obama will be surrounded by little kids when he announces his gun proposal later today.
