President
Obama does not know the difference between a “Free Republic” and a “Monarchy”
and perhaps he doesn’t think most Americans do either by his comments made in
his recent press conference concerning the mass shooting in Oregon. What people
should stop and realize is that we as American Citizens have rights guaranteed to
us under the US Constitution and we do not rely on a Government or President to
dictate to us what rights we may have or not have unlike the Monarchy whom we
broke away from with our Declaration of Independence.
He Claims that we are the only advanced civilization in the world that has mass shootings and it is because we have insufficient gun safety laws on the books. he claims our allies Great Britain and Australia have crafted laws to eliminate mass shootings and we should follow their lead, however what he is referring to is the mass gun confiscation thaat took place in Great Britain and Australia leaving many who were once protected now to be victims from armed criminals.
Great Britain has some of the most stringent gun control laws in the world with most coming on the knee jerk reaction of the British Government due to a particular mass shooting incident that took place in 1987 by Michael Ryan who shot and killed sixteen people in Great Britain, including his mother, and wounded 14 others before killing himself in what became known as the Hungerford Massacre. Ryan used semiautomatic rifles (Commonly and incorrectly referred to Assault Weapons) that he lawfully owned to perpertrate the shooting.
The Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988 was passed as a direct result of this incident successfully banning the ownership of high-powered semi automatic and burst-firing weapons, while imposing stricter standards for issuing ownership certification for pump-action shotguns with a magazine of more than two bullets. When enacting this legislation,
"The Government Decided" that the law was justified to protect the public, but at the same time also to "protect the interests of the legitimate shooting community," sound familiar?
Most people fail to understand that the Second Amendment is not about shooting rights or hunting, but about our ability as American Citizens to keep and bear arms for personal protection and to prevent Government Tyranny. The legislation they passed dis not stop shootings as just a year after the law was passsed Robert Sartin, who suffered from schizophrenia, killed one person with a shotgun and wounded 16 others, however the Hungerford massacre that proceeded the legislation saw a changed attitude to guns by the police, and tighter checks were made before certificates were issued. (Tyranny)

(Tyranny)
Ten years later Hungerford, in 1996, another
massacre occurred at an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland. This was
similar to the Sandy Hook shootings in the US. Thomas Hamilton walked into a
primary (elementary) school in Dunblane, Scotland, where sixteen small
children, aged four to five, and their teacher were shot before he killed
himself.
Hamilton lawfully held the two rifles and four
handguns that he used for the massacre, and had lawfully held firearms for
almost twenty years prior to this incident. This of course resulted in another firearms
amendment, (Notice the slow erosion to ownership applied) the law did not
introduce a complete ban on firearms, but served to essentially prohibit the
private ownership of handguns in Britain.
So How Has Great
Britain Fared Since Enacting the Strictest Gun Laws on the Planet?
The Government's latest crime figures emerged
that gun crime in England and Wales soared by 35% last year (2012) and
criminals used handguns in 46% more offences, as revealed by Home Office
statistics. Firearms were used in 9,974 recorded crimes in the 12 months to
last April, up from 7,362, showing the fourth consecutive year to see an
increase and there were more than 2,200 more gun crimes last year than the
previous peak in 1993.
Figures
showed the number of crimes involving handguns had more than doubled since the
post-Dunblane massacre ban on the weapons, from 2,636 in 1997-1998 to 5,871. Unajusted figures showed overall recorded crime in the 12 months to last September rose 9.3%. Flying in the face of what our self professed King touted as the way forward for Americans, unless he wants American citizens to suffer more at the hands of criminals by removing our ability to defend ourselves.
Australia
has fared no better as “Countrywide”, homicides are up 3.2 percent; Assaults
are up 8.6 percent; and armed robberies have climbed nearly 45 percent. In the
Australian state of Victoria alone, gun homicides have climbed 300 percent;
while In the 25 years before the gun bans, crime in Australia had been dropping
steadily, now there has been a reported “dramatic increase” in home burglaries
and assaults on the elderly.
Additionally
just one day after Obama said their example was the way forward for us there
was another shooting in broad daylight in front of a the State Crime Command in
Parramatta Australia killing a police IT worker, showing without a doubt putting
a torpedo into Obama’s statements that disarming Americans makes you safer, now
what say you Obama? Let’s hear it again how more laws will make us safer, and
better yet why wasn’t the press all over this instead of their usual silence?
In
the United States today there are
currently over 20,000 Federal and
State gun laws on the books and none of them prevented any of these tragedies,
so Obama’s Claim that we need to pass common sense gun laws to combat these
issues is just more of the same political lies and rhetoric used in his constant attempt to disarm Americans
as it is proven that new laws including
confiscation will not have any impact on
the reduction of these types of heinous criminal acts as has been shown by the
recent statistics in Great Britain and Australia.
So it is pretty clear where Obama is going
with this and once he can apply his lies, deceit and misrepresentation of the
facts to convince the uninformed American citizens that we must disarm he will
have completed another one of his goals in the transforming of America by
effectively destroying the U.S. Constitution and turning American citizens into
“Subjects” without a voice and at the mercy of a “Tyrannical Government” because
it is not about guns it is only about control.
