Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama positions himself to add more limts to the Second Amendment. He didn't get the memo last November. He lost and his agenda is dead.

Obama's Justice Department will be meeting over the next two weeks with regards to tightening gun laws, using the Tucson tragedy as an excuse to blame the gun industry for the killings. Apparently, he decided that blaming Sarah Palin went nowhere, and now intends to use the "Tucson crisis" to further his agenda. Understand that if the movement to rid the nation of private owner gun possession ever became the popular political opinion, Obama would be at the front, leading this nation away from the Second Amendment.

The NRA spent some time, over the course of the past two years, kissing up to Obama, only to [finally] realize that his intentions were counter the goals and purposes of the National Rifle Association.

“Why should I or the N.R.A. go sit down with a group of people that have spent a lifetime trying to destroy the Second Amendment in the United States?” said Wayne LaPierre, the longtime chief executive of the National Rifle Association. And with that statement, the NRA announced it would not participate in the politicized meetings of the next two weeks. 15 to 20 years ago marked the high point in the anti-gun lobby's ability to influence legislation. Since that time, the tide has moved in the favor of gun-rights and the viability of the Second Amendment.

In March of 2007, a Federal Court of Appeals reversed the long time gun ban in DC. That legal opinion was never appealed and the resulting decision is the law for the Capitol city. Understand that the DC gun ban did nothing to curb gun violence in that city. Legal gun ownership is not the problem. It is guns in the hands of criminals and the lawless.

When it is all said and done, there is no effective rebuttal to the mantra, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Perhaps that axiomatic truth is the reason why the anti-gun lobby has lost its edge in the continuing political battle.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
