Why Does Obama Insist On More Gun Control?

[Mr VJP]

Founding Father Patrick Henry once warned, “Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.”

 

And in his 1996 book, "The Vision of the Anointed," Thomas Sowell describes the pattern by which liberal elites impose their leftist policy aims — first convincing the masses a grave problem exists, then miraculously providing the Big Government solution. In other words, approaching the jewel of Liberty to take it. “[W]e’re hyped to believe that something is a terrible crisis for which something must be done,” Sowell said, “And what['s] ... fascinating to me ... is that very often the thing that’s said to be in crisis has often been getting better for years on end, but that gets ignored.”

 

It’s as though Sowell foresaw the Obama administration.

 

After nearly doubling the national debt, driving up health care premiums to unaffordable levels, wielding his pen with one hand while giving Congress the finger with the other, and, oh yes, “containing” the Islamic State, Obama is turning his final year’s attention to eviscerating the Second Amendment. That’s right, he’s set his sights on gun control.

 

He must be hoping the climate will change.

Our current government creates problems to fit their preconceived 'solutions'.

When faced with any real and/or serious problem they tend to hide because facing immediate issues is simply not in their wheelhouse.
