President-almost-elect Obama says that he doesn’t want to take your guns. But if he is truly a supporter of the Second Amendment, as he claims, then why does he use the Brady Center for Civilian Disarmament‘s mantra of “Common sense gun safety laws”? Common sense to them means reducing the populace to owning just sling shots and BB guns. My level of trust for BHO on this issue is miniscule. I recommend stocking up on semi-auto firearms and full capacity magazines before he is sworn in and starts issuing executive orders and joining in legislative “teamwork” with the liberal majority that now controls congress.
