Department of Justice Admits New Gun Laws Won't Slow Crime
According to the Obama Administration and their allies in Congress, it is neither intelligent nor proper to judge all Muslims because of the acts of a few deranged terrorists.
Yet the Obama Administration and their allies in Congress, because of the acts of a few deranged gunmen, are judging all law abiding American gun owners. And, because of the acts of deranged gunmen, they are introducing legislation to do background checks on Americans in violation of provisions of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.
Obama issued 23 Executive Orders to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to create a “Federal Background Check System.” Translation: Federal Gun Registration of all LEGAL gun owners. The emphasis is on the word “LEGAL”, since clearly criminals do not ever register their guns, or participate in any background checks related to the guns they illegally possess. More importantly, it is not the criminals who would take up arms against a tyrannical government, therefore, it is not the criminal element that the Obama Administration is truly concerned about — it’s the legal law abiding gun owners they are intent on disarming.
To support the Obama Administration’s goals of determining who all the law abiding gun owners are, Senator Patrick Leahy sponsored Senate Bill 443, referred to as the “Forced Gun Owner Registration Act of 2013”. Provisions in the bill will require background checks on law abiding gun owners and will determine where they have their guns stored. The bill also imposes harsh sentences for minor offenses (up to 15 years in prison).
Members of Congress should insist that if background checks are required for all law abiding American gun owners, the federal law enforcement agencies should start by finally doing a background check on Barrack Obama; he is the first resident of the Oval Office whose background and records are hidden from the view of all American voters. Currently, with what is available on his background, Barrack Obama would never pass the standard background check that every member of the US Armed Forces must have completed before they are sworn into the US Military.
