From my Glock Bro’: Raped woman calls 911 but police don’t arrive in time for rapist.
Barack Obama says he supports reasonable gun control. In Illinois, this woman may have been subject to prosecution. The story said she borrowed a weapon and in Illinois a permit is required before possession of a shotgun can be legal. Moreover, our President Elect opposed immunity for people using guns to defend themselves in their own homes.
His past voting record has not ben about reasonable restrictions that support public safety. His past voting record is anti-gun, plain and simple. He has campaigned, however, saying he won’t take our guns. That, is not much of a concession. Taking guns is not easy; were that the aim, it wouldn’t be the first step. But what will he do?
Obama, to discount his record, repeatedly said he supported the Second Amendment. His plans for re-election therefore may moderate his actions against gun owners and gun manufacturers. We’ll have to wait and see what the Democrats pass in Congress and what Barack signs.
The Democrats will be pushing more gun control. They will be using federal regulations and ATF “interpretations” etc. of manufacturing, sales and ownership to make self-defense more difficult, but all in the name of public safety.
I doubt the primary target of gun legislation and regulation will be criminals like rapists; the target of socialists is liberty. In the end, I suspect the “reasonable” restrictions will do less to decrease crime than borrowing a shotgun did in this case.
