IMHO that would be unconstitutional.

I think America will eventually end up with the same problem that we have up here in Canada.

The vast majority of people that own handguns and assault rifles here are basically LEO's and criminals.

The everyday average guy has no experience with guns, and therefore can't be depended upon to defend his family or his country when things get ugly.

Many of the men in the US were military trained to handle a weapon.

That may be true right now, but what about in a generation or two?

Obama a level headed leader who wants to level the playing field for the working class (democrats) while the repubs bow to "Black Money" from ultra wealthy manipulators from the likes of Sheldon Addleson, the Koch brothers and major corporations.

Get back with me on those issues in four years. All I know is that on day 1 of his 2nd term we have witnessed a 300 point drop in the stock market and HUGE layoffs at Boeing announced. I am hearing of other layoffs and folks being moved from full to part time (don't have the details yet).. So I think this is only the tip of the iceberg.

As far as firearms? He has said that he would like the ban on assault weapons reinstated. The other issues I mentioned? You still haven't denied his intentions on those. You can continue with pointless derogitory remarks all you want. You can make claims as to who you think I am but you have no idea. I will not pretend to know your background either. You go back and look at this post and my previous and then at yours and anyone can see who is using facts and who is just trash talking.

Oh, and I have no clue where he is from. Hawaii? I don't care. He could have grown up next door to me for all I care. You could bring in someone from Pakistan for all I care if they would not drive this country into the ground. The traditional America is dead. Obama has been driving nails into America's coffin for 4 years and 51% of the american people drove the last one in yesterday. Traditional american values now have no hope.

Never could understand why it matters where Obama was born. His mother was a citizen, that makes him one. McCain was born in Panama. Does that mean he's not a citizen? Some reports say that Romney may have been born in Mexico. Does that mean he's not a citizen?
According to US law, anyone with one American parent is a citizen, period.

When Obama and Holder approached the idea of a gun ban in March of 2009 (when the Democrats held the house, senate, and the presidency), 65 House Democrats put a stop to it in an open letter to Eric Holder.

Do you happen to remember what happened 2 months after the AWB was enacted in 1994? A 54-seat swing in the house, an 8 seats in the senate, 12 gubernatorial seats, and 472 state-legislature seats.

And what did they get for it? An incredibly unpopular prohibition and and moving from 21 to 37 states with "unrestricted" or "shall issue" concealed carry laws during the gun ban. (Up to 41 states last time I checked.) More guns than ever before on the streets. An inability to correlate any reduction in crime with the gun ban. A near-perfect, inverse correlation between number of guns on the streets and the crime rate. The death of all significant national anti-gun efforts.

Apparently, "Traditional American Values" are things like "Bankruptcy related to medical bills", "Overtaxing people who don't act like we did 20 years ago", "Interference in the doctor-patient relationship", and "Policing bedroom activities".

Personally, I think these things deserve to be in the coffin. Perhaps you were referring to some other "traditions" of which I am not aware?

On thing I agree with John Stossel on:
Quote:
I say that conservatives want to police the bedroom and the world, and the liberals want to police the workplace and my speech and what I eat and a million other things. And they both seem to want a bigger government which is unsustainable.
