After San Bernardino, a city 30 miles from my home and the hometown of my wife, it did not take long for the Democrats to bring out the response they always do. It was the guns fault, and therefore, no one should have one. Knee jerk responses to be sure, and even with the assistance of a front page editorial in the New York Times, could not change the thinking of the American people that they have a right to self defense. Petula Dvorak of the Washington Post even went so far as to claim the "Evil Republicans" because they respect the 2nd Amendment.
Of course, according to Ms. Dvorak more gun free zones are the answer. If only everyone would turn in their guns, all would be sweetness and light with unicorns and rainbows. I don't know what neighborhood these lady lives in, but in any neighborhood I ever lived in, the people I know are very happy to be able to keep their guns.
According to the progressives and socialists Gun free zones work. Should we ask the children at Sandy Hook, or the writers at Charlie Hebdo, or the county workers in San Bernardino how well that works? Obama, that fine bastion of constitutional law, proclaimed that the U.S. is the number one purveyor of these attacks. Actually no, Norway is first, followed by Finland, Slovakia, Israel, and Switzerland. Sorry, "dear leader," your numbers lie again.
We have had almost seven years of the truth being a far distant cousin of the Democrats, but they agree that the government needs to take our guns. Obama has already issued 23 executive actions which were never voted on and are clearly unconstitutional addressing rights that can not taken away without changing the founding documents of our country. The National Instant Criminal Background Check, (NICS) is being used by the federal government as the implementation of a national database. This has been admitted by federal officials and openly reported in the news.
The newest step being pushed by President Obama is trying to cause gun manufacturers to fail. Gun sales have skyrocketed, and Obama has now using his federal power via the Security Exchange Commission in a vendetta against Smith and Wesson. Our "dear leader" is asking federal regulators to investigate if the manufacturer Smith and Wesson made adequate disclosures in its financial statements. The public advocate, Letitia James has stated that the SEC "should investigate whether Smith and Wesson misrepresented or omitted information about how often its products are involved in crimes and what it has done to keep its product out of the hands of criminals".
I would appreciate anyone who can tell me why any company, selling any product, should be forced to be responsible for the misuse of their product? Smith and Wesson provides safety information and a gun lock with each gun sold. No one has explained what more the liberals want – except for the business to "roll over and close its doors."
This is nothing more than a liberal witch hunt. It is President Obama continuing efforts to circumvent Congress and the Constitution by targeting of businesses to advance his agenda. He acts like a tyrannical king who makes proclamations for what he desires. I believe the American people had enough of that in 1776. What business will be next?
Obama has slightly over a year remaining in office. It is far overdue for the American people, members of Congress, and the Courts to draw "a red line in the sand." A "red line" that says to President Obama and to members of all the varied agencies and departments of the Federal Government that there will be no more attacks on the Constitutional rights of American citizens, or attacks on American businesses to advance that advance an agenda resulting in diminishing or restricting the Constitutional rights of American citizens.
