\"\"<\/a>Gun Owners of America<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Most of Obama’s crazy proposals are so extreme, only few of his initiatives pose serious threat!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Surrounded by child-props, Barack Obama yesterday proposed a semi-automatic ban so extreme that it could<\/span><\/span><\/strong>potentially outlaw up to 50% of all long guns in circulation and up to 80% of all handguns. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Originally, Obama’s allies had announced they would reintroduce the 1994 ban on commonly-owned, defensive firearms. \u00a0That was until they found out that they would look like fools, since that semi-auto ban was largely the law of Connecticut on the day the Newtown shooting occurred — and didn’t cover Adam Lanza’s AR-15. \u00a0After that, gun grabbers just kept adding more and more guns until they would register (or ban) a huge percentage of the defensive guns in existence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So where are we now?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Obama’s crazy gun ban is now being denounced by many Democrats. And, although you don’t “pop the cork” until Congress adjourns, it will probably take the magazine ban down the toilet with it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This means that gun owners’ focus must now shift to the part of Obama’s agenda which poses the most danger because it is most likely to move: \u00a0the requirement that the government approve every gun transfer in America — the so-called universal background check.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All of you know why this is a problem. \u00a0But how do you explain it so simply that even a congressman can understand? \u00a0Let’s take a crack at that:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>ONE: \u00a0THE FBI’S “SECRET LIST” WHICH IS BEING USED TO BAR AMERICANS FROM OWNING GUNS IS INSIDIOUS<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The FBI\u2019s database currently contains the names of more than 150,000 veterans. \u00a0They served their country honorably. \u00a0They did nothing wrong. \u00a0But, because they sought counseling for a traumatic experience while risking their lives for America, they have had their constitutional rights summarily revoked, with no due process whatsoever.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You want to know something else? \u00a0The “secret list” could soon include tens of millions of Americans — including soldiers, police, and fire fighters — with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, and even post-partem depression.\u00a0 This would be achieved under the 23 anti-gun “executive actions” that Obama announced yesterday. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong>TWO: \u00a0THE FBI REFUSES TO INSURE US THAT IT ISN’T TURNING ITS “SECRET LIST” INTO A NATIONAL GUN REGISTRY<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our legislative counsel drafted the Smith amendment in 1998 to prohibit the FBI from using the Brady Check system to tax gun buyers or put their names into a gun registry. \u00a0But the FBI refuses to tell us — or even to tell U.S. Senators — how (or whether) it is complying with the Smith amendment.\u00a0 Why in the world should we give the FBI more authority and more names if it abuses the authority it already has?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the inherent problem with any background check, where gun buyers\u2019 names are given to a government bureaucrat.\u00a0 Is there any way to make sure that once a name is entered into a computer, that it doesn\u2019t stay there permanently?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This concern is especially valid, considering how federal agents are already skirting the laws against gun owner registration.\u00a0 Several dealers around the country have informed GOA that the ATF is increasingly going into gun shops and just xeroxing all of the 4473’s, giving them the names of every gun owner who purchased a gun through that shop — and setting up the basis for a national registration system.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is illegal under the 1986 McClure-Volkmer law, but that has apparently not stopped it from being done.\u00a0 If every gun in America has to go through a dealer, this will create a mechanism to compile a list of every gun owner in America. \u00a0And, as we have seen with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has just been legislatively handed such a list, when that happens, the talk immediately turns to \u201cconfiscation.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong>THREE: \u00a0AS A RESULT, REQUIRING GOVERNMENT APPROVAL OF EVERY GUN OWNER IN AMERICA WOULD DO NOTHING BUT CREATE A PLATFORM FOR NATIONAL GUN REGISTRATION AND CONFISCATION.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As alluded to above, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo now has a comprehensive gun registry.\u00a0 This is the most dangerous thing that New York legislators could have done — as Cuomo has made it clear he\u2019s considering gun confiscation of lawfully-owned firearms.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think legitimate sportsmen are going to say, \u2018I need an assault weapon to go hunting,\u2019\u201d Cuomo said.\u00a0 \u201cConfiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How nice.\u00a0 He\u2019ll let gun owners \u201cpermit\u201d their guns for now — so that, presumably, they can be confiscated later, just as certain defensive weapons were confiscated in New York City during the Mayor David Dinkins administration in 1991.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong>FOUR: \u00a0THE FBI REFUSES TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW GUARANTEEING THE RIGHTS OF LEGITIMATE PURCHASERS<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brady Law requires that the FBI correct erroneous denials of firearms purchases. \u00a0And it requires that it reply, initially, within five days. \u00a0According to attorneys familiar with the problem, the FBI NEVER, EVER, EVER complies with the law. \u00a0In fact, it increasingly tells aggrieved legitimate purchasers to “sue us” — at a potential cost of tens of thousands of dollars.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong>FIVE: \u00a0EVEN UNDER CURRENT LAW, THE BRADY SYSTEM HAS BROKEN DOWN REPEATEDLY<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Since its inception, the FBI\u2019s computer systems have often gone offline for hours at a time — sometimes for days.\u00a0 And when it fails on weekends, it results in the virtual blackout of gun sales at gun shows across the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to gun laws expert Alan Korwin, “With the NICS computer out of commission, the only place you could legally buy a firearm — in the whole country — was from a private individual, since all dealers were locked out of business by the FBI\u2019s computer problem.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, now the President wants to eliminate that last bastion of freedom!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, the FBI\u2019s system went down on Black Friday, angering many gun dealers and gun buyers around the country.\u00a0 \u201cIt means we can\u2019t sell no damn guns,\u201d said Rick Lozier, a manager at Van Raymond Outfitters in Maine.\u00a0 \u201cIf we can\u2019t call it in, we can\u2019t sell a gun.\u00a0 It\u2019s cost us some money.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The bottom line: \u00a0Our goal is to insure that Obama’s politicized dog-and-pony show doesn’t produce one word of new gun law. \u00a0Not a single word.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the biggest danger right now is universal background checks — which would create a platform for national registration and confiscation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We would note that, in addition, Obama is attempting to illegally enact gun control through unlawful and unconstitutional “executive actions.” \u00a0Click here to read about these.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
