Obama's latest budget shows anti-gun agenda

| June 10, 2012 7:00 AM

Gun owners, wake up. Barack Obama’s latest budget spells out his anti-gun agenda outlining which pro-gun riders he wants to delete, forecasting attacks on our gun rights and the Second Amendment if Obama is re-elected.

Obama’s proposed cuts:

• A provision adopted by a 99-0 Senate vote prohibiting future “Fast and Furious” type operations in which Obama agents orchestrated felony gun purchases in a propaganda attempt to discredit gun dealers and obtain more restrictive gun laws, gun walking to Mexico’s drug cartels and resulting in murders of hundreds of Mexicans and a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

• A ban on using our tax dollars lobbying for new gun restrictions. Obama has already stated his intent to defy this one.

• A prohibition on funding anti-gun research at National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control.

• Lifting a 30-year-old restriction on the military from destroying surplus M1 Garands, M1 Carbines, and spent military brass which can be reloaded.

On the other hand Obama’s budget would cut funding for the Federal Flight Deck Officer Program which trains, arms, volunteer airline crew members as last ditch defense against terrorists.

Obama’s track record as a state and U.S. senator has been a continuous support for anti-gun legislation and opposition to pro-Second Amendment measures.

As president,Obama has appointed two anti-gun Supreme Court justices, called on the Senate to ratify an OAS treaty forcing registration of all firearms and ammunition in an international database, and supports the U.N. arms trade treaty reversing the official U.S. position against it.

This is just a hint, a tip of the iceberg, of the radical, far left, anti-gun agenda in an Obama second term. Be sure to get out and vote Obama and his leftie, anti-gunners out in November. Your Second Amendment gun rights are in grave danger.
