Perhaps we don’t wish you to know…

In part from The Hill:

…Obama said that there are “a lot of law abiding, responsible gun owners” that use guns for protection, sport or as part of a tradition. But he added that upping background check requirements on gun purchasers is a policy that everyone should endorse.

“It is not violating anybody’s rights that if you want to purchase a gun, it should be at least your responsibility to get a background check so we know you were not a violent felon or that you don’t currently have a restraining order on you because committed domestic abuse.”

Once again, I dryly note his word usage – tell me, Mr. Obama, what criminal is going to live up to YOUR level of responsibility in going to do a background check even as you blatantly now pretty much disregard the Constitution in spirit (really, a nuclear agreement with Iran over a 10 year period isn’t a “treaty” or is it that you just keep thinking that foreign policy agreements only pertain to your pen and phone and not Congress, per the Constitution?).  Certainly, if you want US to obey the Letter and the Spirit of The Law, should you not be setting a sterling example yourself?

Seriously, Mr. Obama, if I was a “violent felon” or “currently have a restraining order”, WHY would I want you to feel comfortable about “so we know you”?  Unless of course, so it seems, I’m a violent felon or have a restraining order AND I’m an illegal alien.  In that, it seems that instead of rewarding me with 8-10 year stint in an 8 X 10 room with a steel door with a new roomie named Bubba, you’d be giving me a green card and all the FREE benefits you could muster, eh?

No, the only people who submit to that NICS check are already law abiding people – you know, those people who you want to take their guns and ammo away.  So look at it this way – if you don’t want to set the example of following The Law like the rest of us, well, perhaps the rest of us won’t either.  And all we’d say is “well, our President isn’t either”.

After all, you and your Administration already a string of slapdowns by the Supreme Court.
