Obama-signed law will let militia pack heat at rally


Posted: Apr 20, 2010

(This is a day late, but the irony of this action is still as strong. Obama obviously doesn't want to take firearms away from screwballs.)

A few miles from the White House, anti-government protesters will be brandishing guns, rifles, and cartridges of ammunition.

Civil war? Nope. Just an anti-government militia protest in a national park, where activists will be able to legally carry multiple weapons in open sight.

The gun-backers' "Restore the Constitution" rally is set to be the first armed protest in a US national park, held at Fort Hunt and Gravelly Point, Virginia, locales run by the National Park Service. Their target? President Barack Obama and his agenda, health-care reform, climate control and bank bailouts.

It turns out, however, that it's President Obama who actually made their rally possible. In May 2009, he signed a measure allowing Americans to carry guns in national parks into law.

The National Rifle Association, in a press release at the time, wrote:

That pesky little thing called "the right to bear arms".... - sm

Obama is a "constitutional lawyer"...he would be a fool to deny the law.

It's not a militia protest.....it's a PROTEST! People need to grow up and get over the arms things.... they sure as shoot would be glad to have one if they needed it for their safety. What babies!

My question from below remains unanswered on this. - Please cite the passage in the Constitution

[ In Reply To ..]
where the founding fathers specifically sanctioned packing loaded weapons in a national park within shooting distance of the White House?

oh brother - stretching it a little there with your - conspiracy theory.

No matter what you have read in the tabloids, there is nobody trying to do what you are insinuating.
The question is rhetorical, not literal. No suprise - at the instant conspiracy connection though,
[ In Reply To ..]
considering the source. I see you still cannot give a straight answer.
What source? I didn't give a source - I made a statement
[ In Reply To ..]
But that's okay. I knew it was coming.
Then I guess that would make YOU the source, huh? - You had to ask, didnt ya?
[ In Reply To ..]
Glad I could clear that up for you.

Ummm, between 1975 and 2008 it was not deemed unconstitutional - to ban handguns in DC...

[ In Reply To ..]
even in private households unless they were registered before 1976, and to require gun registration. Ever hear of the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975? The reversal of that occurred during the Bush regime in 2008, and Obama elected to uphold that decision. It is not as though there were not legal precedent on which he could base a decision NOT to uphold.

Give credit where credit is due, for Pete's sake. It won't kill ya. He could have played to his base and exercised pocket veto, which at the time he was being urged to do. Instead, he elected to allow the gun babies to keep their toys.

I don't care WHO enacted what! I'm saying those folks have - the right to have firearms

[ In Reply To ..]
and they have the right to have hand guns that are ready to fire if need be!

They have a God-given right to protect themselves....
Translation: No, you are constitutionally incapable of - giving credit where credit is due.
[ In Reply To ..]
When in doubt, invoke the Lord's name. Again, this begs the question of protect themselves against WHAT exactly in a national park. Ants maybe.
Check DC crime reports if you want to see how much - crime is in the park.....sm

Do cold hard facts always strike a nerve or is it just - when you are hugging your guns?
[ In Reply To ..]
just curious

what does all that have to do with each person's right - to bear arms?

[ In Reply To ..]

It is unconstitutional to ban firearms..... so what's your point?
Take a look at the subject line of the very first post - at the very top of this thread....
[ In Reply To ..]
Don't you mean what does each person's right to bear arms have to do with Obama's signing off on allowing open carry of loaded weapons in national parks, thus setting the perfect stage for the 2nd Amendment gun huggers to use to trash him into the ground?

Clear as day, smack dab in the middle of the history books we find that between 1975 and 2008, despite the 2nd Amendment, strict gun control in DC went unchallenged huntil those provisions expired. Therefore, constitutionality is not a black or white issue, but rather a function of the times, leadership and mood of the country.

What an ill-informed bunch of lunatics they are.

You mean the DC citizens are lunatics? Shame on you - They want their firearms back

Hint: Its the one with the big fat star next to it. - Obama-signed law....

That would be the subject of the thread that the gun huggers have been avoiding like the plague.
