What part of "shall not infringe" don't you understand?
Obama was for the most restrictive gun laws in America when he was an Illinois state senator. He was anti-gun when he was US Senator. And now that he’s President, he’s inflicting his anti-gun and anti-second amendment preferences on the rest of the nation.
Add that to his personal war against Texas, and you have Obama’s newest gun grab:
The Office of Management and Budget today approved a federal rule that will require gun-dealers along the U.S southwest border to report multiple sales of semi-automatic weapons with detachable magazines.
Under the rule, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will send requests to gun dealers in Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico seeking information on gun buyers who purchase two or more weapons a week that are long guns with semi-automatic action, have a caliber greater than .22 and have a detachable magazine.
Department of Justice and ATF officials say the rule is needed to combat the flow of guns going to Mexico and straw purchasers.
If the Eric Holder and the ATF really wanted to combat the flow of guns going to Mexico, they could simply quit selling and giving guns directly to the drug cartels and Mexican gangs.
There never was a problem with US guns flowing to Mexico until our own Government — specifically Obama and Holder — created a problem. All so they could do exactly what they’ve just done — use it as an excuse to implement new tougher gun laws. And if you think this is the extent of it, you haven’t been paying attention.
More from the LA Times:
“It’s the height of hypocrisy,” said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista), who is leading the House investigation into Fast and Furious, called it a “political maneuver designed to protect the careers of political appointees at the Justice Department and not public safety.”
Cole made no mention of Fast and Furious. U.S. authorities lost track of most of the weapons, and many were later found at crime scenes in Mexico. In December, two turned up at the slaying of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Arizona.
Smith said the administration should target the cartels rather than monitor legal gun purchases in the U.S. He also said a recent government report found that only 40% of the border is under “operational control” of the Border Patrol.
“They simply need to secure the Southwest border, not restrict the rights of law-abiding citizens,” he said.
Sen. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, agreed. He called the new measure a “reckless policy” that “would do nothing to stop the flow of firearms.”

This administration keeps pushing because they get little to no resistence for anything they’ve ever done.
I can sit here all day long and make lots of loud noises but what is needed is someone on our side that actually has some testicles to stand up, flat footed, to the A**WIPES that are pushing Marxism onto ‘US’, the silent majority.
These few pecker-heads that are currently running this country into the ground could easily be brought up on serious charges but the RINOs are envious of their prowess efforts and simply take notes in hope of achieving the same effectiveness when given the chance.
I have to change that a little.
The RINOs will never have enough balls to directly challenge the Libs.
RINOs can only fatasize about having big cojones.

Isn’t it amazing the only Republicans with enough cojones to do anything against the liberals are women!
Most of the Republican men in Washington have been neutered!
Where the hell is Rick Perry at?
busy raising fees and taking care of his own – stand up for the people fool ; you’re not president yet
question: can somebody give me an example of a long gun with semi automatic action? couldn’t that be an ordinary hunting gun?
As for this action, it not only stinks because they went around Congress, but it’s stupid too boot. The cartels will just not buy on the southwest border. They’ll buy in every other state including outside the states.

Well, it could be an ordinary hunting gun, such as a the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) (I own an older Belgian-made model in 30-06, that I love dearly) or the Benelli R1.
But it could also be what the scared-of-guns Left call “assault rifles,” such as the AR-15 (which can also be used to hunt).
Thanks, Robbie. I think there’s going to be hell to pay shortly.
From what I’ve been reading online it’s going to be anything that is above .22.
How can this POS pick and choose which states to create new laws in? Unconstitutional and Greg Abbott should be suing his ass.
Anything above a .22? EVERYTHING is above a .22….
Don’t go knocking that hot little .17HMR. They kill gators with it.
*sigh* This could have been avoided if the people of the US had taken the following action 2yrs ago. The summary execution of 435..make that 450, people. Remind the pols that if they piss us off they’re going to pay VERY personal consequences. *shrug* end of rant.
Posted this one to my facebook wall. which will supremely piss off the few liberal friends I have. One of them told me friday night she doesn’t read anything I post regarding politics because A. we’re such polar opposites[she's a screaming lefty liberal] and B. she just doesn’t want to hear it. Which is why C. we agreed years ago never to discuss politics live and in living color face to face because it just leads to face.
I used to know some people like that. Not anymore.
If they are too intellectually lazy to stay informed I want them out of my life.
she’s also one of those that calls Fox News, FAUX News “because everything they say is nothing more than republican propaganda, because they are the propaganda mouthpiece for the republican party. I would note that if I hadn’t known her for as long as I have and she’s the only screaming lefty lib I know IRL that’s a friend……
I’d also point out that, outside of politics we share a lot of the same interests a nd her kids love and adore me and I them
I understand. I have an old child hood friend who has been a lifelong donk and trial lawyer. Our friendship means more to each of us than our politics, so we never discuss it.
