He's so clueless, he thinks you can buy a gun without a nics check at a store.

More of the text and video of the moron at the link.

Speaking to users of the blogging platform Tumblr, President Obama todaypraised Australia’s confiscation of firearms. Obama said:
Couple of decades ago, Australia had a mass shooting, similar to Columbine or Newtown. And Australia just said, well, that’s it, we’re not doing, we’re not seeing that again, and basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws, and they haven’t had a mass shooting since.
Our levels of gun violence are off the charts. There’s no advanced, developed country that would put up with this.
In other words, the president of the United States just praised a government for forcefully removing all semi-automatic firearms (i.e. a remarkable number of the guns in America and the majority of those sold today) from its citizenry.
Let me be clear, as Obama likes to say: You simply cannot praise Australia’s gun-laws without praising the country’s mass confiscation program. That is Australia’s law. When the Left says that we should respond to shootings as Australia did, they don’t mean that we should institute background checks on private sales; they mean that they we should ban and confiscate guns. No amount of wooly words can change this. Again, one doesn’t bring up countries that have confiscated firearms as a shining example unless one wishes to push the conversation toward confiscation.
Worryingly, Obama appears not to understand how the American background check system works. He would like to see an arrangement, he said, in which anybody who wishes to buy a weapon has to “go through a fairly rigorous process so we know who you are, so that you can’t just walk up to a store and buy a semi-automatic weapon.” This is already the case. Under federal law, nobody in the United States can buy a gun from a store without a background check. The question at hand is whether one should have to undergo a background check when one sells a gun privately. Some states require residents to do so; others don’t. It is beyond astonishing that a president who considers his failure to reform the background-check system to be the defining low-point of his presidency has not yet bothered to acquaint himself with how that system actually operates.

Doubtful. He has a boatload of attorneys and advisers.

Words are chosen to advance an agenda, not tell the truth or demonstrate an accurate understanding of the law. Since most of the people not involved in firearms related activity accept statements like this as a given, his words are the optimal ones to sway the undecideds in his direction.

This. Some politicians may be ignorant, but many know that lies are more effective at furthering this agenda than the truth is.
 
Ok well we can see this as "Obama's gonna take our guns," or we can try and understand his point. Australia as a country (not just one figurehead) was fed up with mass shootings and the approval for extreme gun control laws were widely supported. Obama was also recently quoted saying that we need to do some soul searching as a country. He's not going to confiscate your guns. He wants the entire public to agree that we don't want them. Not endorsing him, just interpreting.

Basically growing up in the Northeast I have a bunch of ultra liberal friends on Facebook. They are all worked up in a froth about this topic the last few days. That is Obamas strategy, passion coupled with ignorance.

If he can get most people to agree with him that "guns are bad", you better believe that the banning of guns will follow. You are right though that it will probably be staged as a "public demand" driving the ban.
 
Remember, folks, that this is an election year and the party of the community-organizer-in-chief has nothing positive to run on. It seems as though, once again, that the democrats are going to make boogie-men out of us gun owners and run their campaigns standing on the coffins of the victims of criminals.

What other campaign issue do they have?
 
If they try confiscation, they're gonna need a LOT of body bags for blue-helmeted victims. It would not end well. I'm not threatening anyone. I'm just saying that there are a lot of otherwise law-abiding Americans who cherish freedom more than life itself, and wouldn't go quietly into the night without putting up a fight first.
 
Will he go on tv in the near future and just announce that he is "suspending" the 2nd Amd for a limited time? I think he will try something, anything he thinks he can get away with, and with nothing to lose at this point, to him anyway.

Since when are my natural rights subject to the whims of the mob?

I believe this is very true. I think there will be a lot more resistance then they think will happen.

Right, his words are chosen to secure political will for legislation, details (as in our DeLeo bill) are secondary and will be crafted by the liberal wonks. In the world of 10 second soundbytes, details seldomly matter when trying to win the war. IF the populous generally gets upset later, it's billed as "unintended consequences".
 
Australia has more guns now than they did before the buyback confiscation... so theres that

You say that like majority opinions haven't oppressed people ever in the history of the world, the United States, or even in MA.

Oh absolutely. Don't look at Obama when guns are being demanded; Look at your neighbor.

Time will tell, I guess, if gun owners in this country go as quietly as they did in the UK and Australia, or as the Japanese Americans did to the camps here in the US.

Everyone has their breaking point, and unfortunately I think that the anti-liberty folks are going to keep pushing until we find out if it's all just rhetoric or if we will resist by arms.

I wouldn't go that far. What happened in AU was some moonbats brayed, and moonbat pols followed suit, passed a law, and the gun owners all lubed up and complied and got their buyout from the government instead of telling the gov to go **** themselves. Hell even in CT recently there was more civil disobedience (eg, intentional failure to register their "AWs" and magazines) than there was in AU at the time of the confiscations.

Have you ever seen this quote from obama. It is from Sept of '08 in the NY times.

“I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters,” Mr. Obama told Patrick Gaspard, his political director, at the start of the 2008 campaign, according to The New Yorker. “I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m going to think I’m a better political director than my political director.”

Why are the taliban terrorist free? The military and many national security advisers and congress told him they were a danger and don't do it. But he knows better. He's an arrogant MoFo and what's dangerous is he's in incredibly stupid mother focker. Slow Joe gets ragged on all the time but obama is nearly as stupid. He's corrupt, a commie POS but also amazing stupid.

The guys at powerline have dozen's of posts on obama's stupidity, here are two. I agree with you, he is a propagandist but he's also an idiot. He doesn't even pass the basic understanding of most subjects.

"Shall not be infringed" Obama has no new point. He DOES want to confiscate our guns and he will try every way possible. He hates the Constitution, the USA and her citizens who cling to their guns and bibles. If he wants to do anything about guns, he needs to use the amendment process. Until then, the socialists and communist and liberals can stop trying to trample my rights.

Move over Jimmy Carter....we have a new candidate for worst potus ever...

Obama is no candidate. He is the winner by a mile ...
 
Obama uses these events to divert attention away from his failed policies.

Liberals love to use emotion to drive their agenda.

There are bad people out there, always has been.

The trick is how to find them and make sure that cannot harm anyone before they do.
 
His many statements about policies in other countries, not just about guns but all sorts of things, pretty much sums up the fact that he's a follower not a leader and truly dislikes the United States of America.
 
If anyone uses the UK as a shining example of the success of gun control following confiscation and banning of firearms, just have them google the 'Cumbria shootings'. It proves that even when there are no access to handguns and "assault weapons" that people can and will do harm, with just a bolt-action .22 and a double-barrel shotgun.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria_shootings
The Cumbria shootings was a killing spree that occurred on 2 June 2010 when a lone gunman, Derrick Bird, killed 12 people and injured 11 others before killing himself in Cumbria, England. Along with the 1987 Hungerford massacre, 1989 Monkseaton shootings and the 1996 Dunblane massacre, it is one of the worst criminal acts involving firearms in British history.

Not to mention the overall higher rates of assault, robbery, home invasion, and attacks with clubs, bats, hammers, etc.

A lot of it. But they shared a lot of the same people from David Axelrod's political group. Neither Deval nor obama probably wrote it, they just read others words. Deval is a moron too, it took him 3 times to pass the bar exam.
