The following two articles illustrate perfectly the concerted effort by some of our elected officials to undermine the 2nd Amendment. I suspect that they are looking to capitalize on the recent horrible murders committed by one lone psycho with a stolen gun.
Statistics prove how unlikely anyone is to die in this manner. So why the urgency to disarm law abiding citizens? Their true motive must be for some reason that would be rejected by most Americans. One possibility that comes to mind would be that they anticipate possible resistance to their future unveiled plans. History proves this indeed a possible scenario!

(Info Wars) – While the Obama administration sets out to eviscerate
the gun rights of American citizens in the aftermath of Sandy Hook,
earlier this week it was announced that the Department of Homeland
Security has awarded a company a contract worth over $45,000 dollars to
provide the DHS with 200,000 more rounds of bullets.
This new purchase adds to the staggering figure of 1.6 billion rounds
of ammunition already secured by the DHS over the last 9 months alone.
A solicitation originally posted on the FedBizOpps.gov website on
December 17 on behalf of the DHS Federal Law Enforcement Training Center
advertised the need for 200 cases of 13–40 Cal, 180 Grain, Jacketed
Hollow Point bullets, with each case containing 1000 rounds, to be
delivered almost immediately as soon as the contract is awarded.
The bullets are to be delivered to a training site in North
Charleston, South Carolina, which “specializes in Maritime Law
Enforcement and Port Security Training. Basic and advanced training
programs are conducted in concert with the U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Law
Enforcement Academy, the U.S. Courts Probation and Pretrial Services
Training Academy, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Training
Academy, the Customs and Border Protection Field Operations Academy, and
the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.”
The winner of the contract to provide the DHS with the ammunition,
announced on January 2, was Evian Group Inc., an organization that was
formed just five days before the announcement of the solicitation.
As James Smith documents, Evian Group seems to be little more than a
front organization and doesn’t appear to have any real business assets, a
genuine physical address, a website, or even a phone number.
Back in August, the Department of Homeland Security censored
information relating to the amount of bullets purchased by the DHS on
behalf of Immigration & Customs Enforcement, citing an “unusual and
compelling urgency” to acquire the bullets, noting that there is a
shortage of bullets which is threatening a situation that could cause
“substantial safety issues for the government” should law enforcement
officials not be adequately armed.
The information was blacked out despite the fact that documents are
only supposed to be redacted if authorized by Congress or for national
security reasons.
The contradiction of the Obama administration preaching gun control
while simultaneously the federal government arms itself to the teeth
with an arsenal that would be enough to wage a full scale 7 year ground
war is jaw-dropping.
As Mike Adams highlights, “A citizen is considered to be a
stockpiling “terrorist” prepper if they own just 1,000 rounds of ammo.
The government, however, can purchase billions and the mainstream media
doesn’t even question it.”
“Where is all this ammunition going? It’s being stockpiled by the
federal government, awaiting some future event during which it will
apparently be “activated.” Why else would you stockpile something if you
don’t anticipate needing to use it someday?”
“During all this, Obama and his cohorts in Washington are loudly
insisting that American citizens have no right to purchase firearms or
ammunition, and that new laws will soon be enacted to make sure you
cannot do what the government does: stockpile weapons and ammo.”
Indeed, the double standard is staggering and while Americans are
being raided for stockpiling “arsenals” of weapons that subsequently
turn out to be no more than a few guns, the federal government is
simultaneously building a very real and substantial arsenal while the
mainstream media turns a blind eye.

(Breitbart) – Democrat Mayor Thomas Menino of Boston says that Vice
President Joe Biden “guaranteed” him that by the end of January,
President Obama would put a vast gun control scheme on the table. Said
Menino, “He said, ‘Tommy, I guarantee you, we’ll get it done by the end
of January.’ They’re going to get it done.”
Menino co-chairs the Mayors Against Illegal Guns group along with
nanny state Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York. He says that Obama has
“no excuse not to pass strong legislation,” and that the National Rifle
Association should be ignored. “It’s time to get this moving and moving
quickly.”
Menino’s overbearing big government tendencies have reared their ugly
head before. Back in August, Menino tried to bar Chick-Fil-A from
Boston after the head of the restaurant chain said that he opposed
same-sex marriage.
As per the usual Democratic strategy, Menino has been standing
athwart the bodies of the dead children of Sandy Hook to promote his
anti-Second Amendment agenda. Back during that tragedy, he said, “There
are too many stories of those who have lost loved ones to gun violence –
and far too many were added from Newtown just days ago. To honor those
we’ve lost, we must continue to demand a plan from lawmakers that will
keep gun violence from taking more lives.”
The implication: if you don’t agree with Menino, Obama, Biden, and
Bloomberg, you don’t honor those we lost. This sort of emotional
blackmail has dominated our politics for far too long. But look for the
thuggishness of the left to escalate in Obama’s second term.
I always welcome any input on these matters especially from the Leftists. Just keep
it civil, factual and truthful and I will not remove it (I know many of you
Liberals struggle with a civil, factual and truthful discussion see
Why Liberals Always Resort To Name-Calling?).
