Under Obama's Plan, ATF Is A Criminal Organization

Literally. Under one of Mr. Obama's proposals, which would cause innocent people whose guns are stolen to be charged with a crime if the stolen gun is used in a violent crime, the ATF would be guilty of at least one felony. The ATF lost 76 weapons last year, more than half because of agents' "carelessness". That's right. According to Mr. Obama's plan, the ATF would have committed a felony, because one of their carelessly stored guns was used in a violent crime.

Essentially, unless your weapons are locked down more than the federal agency in charge of firearms, you could be charged with a felony.

Mr. Obama's hatred of guns is of course well known, as even his hand picked crowds call him out on it. Mr. Obama was forced to resort to saying he didn't have the votes anyway, so not to worry about it. Even staunchly Democratic crowds know that he would if he could. His record is clear.

Thankfully, after decades of Supreme Court cowardice, the current court stood up for the Bill of Rights and said that the second amendment had not, in fact, expired. Mr. Obama's flip-flopping on the issue aside, the court ruled his proposals were unconstitutional. Ironically, Heller v. DC may have helped Mr. Obama, as single issue voters know he is constrained constitutionally when it comes to guns, and are thus free to vote for him if they otherwise agree with him. Without Heller, no gun owner in their right mind could vote for him. With it, some may, if everything else lines up.
