With the exception of some police officials, you will find few gun control advocates among conservatives. Among liberals, you will find few gun ownership advocates. If liberals had their way, only police officers would be armed in this country. Many liberals would go a step further by advocating that cops should go about their duties unarmed.
President Obama is not a centrist - he's a genuine liberal. The top people in his administration are, by and large, liberals. Both houses of Congress are controlled by liberals. All this worries America's gun owners. Are they justified in being worried? I think so. Is the Obama administration likely to go for a repeal of the Second Amendment to our Constitution? I don't think so. But they don't have to. All the liberals have to do is to pass restrictions on gun ownership, restrictions which, in technical terms, would not infringe on our Second Amendment rights.
The way in which the liberal Obama administration is dealing with medical marijuana may be a harbinger of coming restrictions on gun ownership. Attorney General Eric Holder has ordered the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to stop raiding medical marijuana dispensaries that are complying with state laws in California and the 12 other states that have legalized the possession, use and sale of pot for medical purposes. Never mind that federal laws prohibit the possession and sale of marijuana. (See how those state laws are being abused in my blog "Can Veterinary Marijuana Be Far Behind?" [3-4-09].)
Holder is the guy who called whites "cowards" for not coming to grips with racism. With recent mass killings in this country and in Germany, you can bet one of the first things he will recommend is that the Obama administration reinstate the ban on assault-style weapons which the Bush administration allowed to expire. He will probably have the support of law enforcement for that ban because the parolee who gunned down four Oakland police officers last week had an assault rifle when he killed two SWAT officers.
Why is Holder's order barring DEA from raiding pot pharmacies relevant to gun controls? Because both are parts of the liberal pro-drug and anti-gun agendas. After reinstating the ban on assault rifles, I can see a number of other gun regulations on the horizon which will eventually limit the type of guns we can possess and their bullet capacity.
And I can also see us gun owners being required to register each of the guns we own.
The control of the White House and Congress by liberals explains why gun dealers are unable to keep guns in stock. A worried public is buying up guns as fast as they can be restocked on gun store shelves.
