I'm not political but this struck a chord with me. In the aftermath of that horrific shooting in Oregon, POTUS pleaded to gun owners of America to support common sense gun laws. Later he says we can follow the examples of Australia and the UK. The UK and Australia have legal gun ownership, if you have the right political connections, but for the basic citizen forget it. He supports a monopoly on firearms by the government and the elite of society it would seem; very un-American in my opinion.
And what of us respectable gun owners? Do we support some actual common sense gun laws? I know I do; but backing the current POTUS efforts for his idea of common sense gun laws is like giving the fox the keys to the hen house. We all remember the ridiculous M855 ban consideration a few months ago, we all remember this administration's efforts to redefine gun violence from crime to a public health concern. All in the name of invasive gun control policies. Does he really think we will back him after that? Or that we do not notice his so-called firearms experts obviously do not have any formal firearms education.
Most gun owners are conservative politically. POTUS acts like he is president of the liberals only, so he burned all the bridges to the conservatives, and any chance he gets to put his thumb in the eye of conservative ideology, he does. Then he asks us to support him, after pretending or political ideology has no voice in "his" America? Well, I guess only when our voice can serve his agendas.
I can honestly say I'm irritated by him using these atrocities as a thin veneer to attempt to push his anti-second amendment agenda.
