President Barack Obama this week met with former New York mayor and anti-gun advocate Michael Bloomberg, and reports have indicated the two discussed Obama’s pending executive order that’s targeted at gun ownership and could prohibit certain American citizens from buying guns all together.
Analysts have indicated that Obama’s sweeping anti-gun executive order will expand restrictive background checks for gun ownership, but the White House has remained mute to the specifics.
Equally concerning to Second Amendment advocates are the political rumblings about gun sale restrictions for those on the terror watch list, a recent goal Democratic lawmakers have begun pushing.
While even the most gun-friendly politicians agree with the concept that guns should be kept out of the hands of terrorists, there is growing concern that the terror watch list will be used as a political tool to deny American citizens the right to own guns.
In other words, the government can put just about anyone on the list without much evidence or notification. And getting off the list is notoriously difficult.
A bill that would have prevented gun sales to people on the terror watch list failed in the Senate last week, largely over concerns that people would be targeted who have never been accused of a crime and in fact have no connection to terrorism.
U.S. Rep. Tom McClintock, a California Republican, said he was wrongfully placed on the no-fly list about a decade ago when he was a California state Senator. He said authorities later told him it was a case of mistaken identity after authorities confused him with an Irish Republican Army activist, and his name was eventually removed.
“I think it is a very dangerous concept they’re trying to introduce into our law,” McClintock said. “Fundamental rights, guaranteed by the bill of rights, can be denied to an individual by the act of a bureaucrat.”
“The problem is, access to the list is difficult,” said Scott Knight, the chief of police in Chaska, Minnesota, and former chairman of the firearms committee for the International Association of Chiefs of Police. “The criteria of how do people get on that list is not shared. So there are a number of logistical pieces that have to be worked out so the keepers of the list are then comfortable with sharing it in this arena as opposed to just air travel.”

Of course they want to unarm the citizens . We can’t protect ourselves from the vermin they are letting in to not only kill some of us but those of us who work will be paying higher taxes to help support them . And they have security coming out the Yeng Yang for theirselves and they want to reduce the population . Humm killing two birds with one stone story !!

Does gun control include the body guards of Blommerberg and Obama? why should he even have guards as I don’t think his life is any more important than mine.
Faye says
Yup, take all of our guns, but—–increse his secret service protection. Thats not water guns Mr. Obama. He is evil. NO WAY!
yorm says
they should not have bodyguards with guns~~but that is not the reason the muslim commie is trying this.he is trying to create a havoc so he can declare marshal law and prevent elections so that he can remain in power to weaken AMERICA to the point that it will be easy for his muslim friends to take over our country!!!!!!
Not So Free says
You’re kidding, right?
Obama, Bloom(in idiot), and all the rest will have all the protection they need.
Remember, it’s not about guns. It’s about control.
dolly says
Amen people all over the USA will be sitting ducks. I agree they don’t need protecting either. Get rid of the body guards and let their kids go to public schools.
SickoftheBS says
Have you ever noticed who the Shooters in these mass Shooting Are? They are Democrats or Sons of democrats or Muslims. That leads me to believe we do not need Gun Control but do need Democrat and Muslim Control.

Watching Her Bloomberg und Her Obama is like watching the path of the Nazi Party in Germany during the early thirties. Thugs , hoodlums and all types of perverts and criminal elements joined the rat bastards in their climb to power. These two criminals certainly attract all the thugs and liberal low life pond scum to gather round and participate in the rape of their constituents. Both men belong I jail with the rest of the criminals the have put on the payroll. A pox on both these men and their stinking arrogance.
Aaron says
My thoughts exactly! The so called “No-fly” list will undoubtedly be generated from tweets, facebook posts and anywhere else someone voices an opinion against their agenda. “What?? You don’t want islam to take over your country? BAM–you’re on the list as a possible danger” Yup, that sorta thing. I only pray this next election reflects some sort of intelligence among the Americans.
M. Pasch says
It would be nice but impossible, to keep the guns out of Terrorists hands but shouldn’t We be keeping the Terrorists out of the US ?
Rob says
Obama said he was going to fundamentally change this country. He has done a very good job by bringing us back to the seventh century with sharia law. Yes, it is practiced here!
He has brought back diseases we cured decades ago as well as bringing in very dangerous ones like Ebola.
He has doubled our debt, corrupted corrupt organizations like the IRS. He snuck in100,000 Syrian refugees up to 2012 we didn’t hear about.
Let’s not forget fast and furious!!
Brian Terry was killed because he was expendable.
Let’s face it, we are a country that is going to have 300,000,000 felons and there is no military big enough to enforce these laws.
Last spring Michelle Obama said before Barack is out of office, all guns will be confiscated. Look it up-to-date her words! Of course the gangs will still have guns! The terrorists will still have guns.
I need to check on a Bill the state of Texas had introduced. It was where we would not recognize any federal firearms laws.
I do believe gov Abbott has our back and is not about to let the Fed’s get the firearms in Texas.

You call that thing Michelle? It’s real name is Michael Robinson, and it’s probably got a bigger male member than most of us!

Just another chance to control our constitutional rights and look like they care about violence. The Washington Post has recently published an article showing with statistics that much of what Obama said about our nation as being the most violent was an out right lie. I am a retired L.E.O. and have seen that stats several times. Liberals that have never even handled a firearm are making decisions that are anti-American. The reason that some think violence is on the rise is because the anti-gun press jumps on every case of evil as gun violence. Stats prove that gun free zones are target ranges for the evil. Perhaps when they can’t get guns they will use pipe bombs and kill even more. When all the political leaders drop their armed guards that protect their families then maybe we can talk.
John says
A large part of the problem is many people ate too stupid and/or lazy to research and understand that most of the one liners are untruths or half truths. They take their 144 characters as fact and then pass it along.
Morons. This nation has become a nation of morons. It’s going to get frightening as we age and are less able to defend ourselves and depend on the next generations of morons. Every once in awhile I see a story on bright kids doing good things. But it’s so far and few between.
kayjay says
If at this point if Bloomberg is involved in gun fiscation then that IS proof of a worldwide or global agenda that is not of the USA! There fore it is a fairly conclusive proof of a NWO agenda that is not of this NATION, and we must have a citizens PAC for Steering and tactics to take this agenda down and take Bloomberg’s influences and money away if found guilty by a real American Court.
senior74 says
The gun confiscation is part of the UN Agenda 21 plan. This agenda is to make America part of a Communist one world government. excuse is global warming/climate change! I found a document from the UNODA/office of disarmament affairs & the jest of it is they need to confiscate weapons from the hands of civilians so they can further implement the agenda 21! Even liberals hate this when they learn about it & NO one is reporting it. See democratsagainstunagenda21.com The only politician I have ever heard talk about it Ted Cruz!
george bill says
These 2 are over with, the country is armed, 200,000 the past 2 months in FL alone. My bag boys at Publix are armed with the blessing of management. You can’t stop us now, there would be a civil war. You want to keep letting terrorists in, we will make sure we are prepared for them when they arrive. Now both you ignorant farts with your storm trooper security detachments, lead the way by getting rid of your 6 security guards with the p90 auto sub guns and Glock 17’s or Sig 226’s. Do you really think Americans are that stupid.
Hey Obama and Bloomberg. “This is America, you morons, been here before you were born and will be here after you are long gone”
Bloomberg is illegally sending his army of ex cops and paid detectives 1300 miles away to FL to see if they can buy a gun at a gun show, in 3 years not 1 gun or arrest, if he was using taxpayer money when Mayor, he committed an illegal expenditure for New York taxpayers who aren’t supposed to be sending cops on fishing expeditions halfway across the country, he spent 80 million dollars and did nothing to curtail guns other than make himself one of the most unpopular mayors in NY history, and will be remembered as a fool.
The other one is just a general asshole who refuses to even use the term Radical Muslims, while they try to kill us.
We just paid over 15,000 dollars to erect flagpoles to fly the American Flag, in our 350 home development, if anything they are bringing out a sense of “Nationalism” that has not been seen in years among red blooded Americans.
Remember the only legacy this moron will leave is that he was the most inept divisive piece of trash, ever to reside in the White house, which will need a thorough fumigating to get the cigarette smoke out of everything when he leaves, probably cost us 10 million to replace the carpets and drapes alone. The man should be arrested impeached and imprisoned for crimes against humanity, he’s intentionally weakened the military, by firing 200 of it’s leaders, stripped the entire armed forces of equipment, including a 20 r project to upgrade our air power, “which keeps us ahead of everyone else” and now wants to strip us of our guns ,so when his people try to take over we can’t resist them with out own standing army. What are we waiting for????

Try to take em. Ive qualified at over a half mile.

Im against cofiscation . Mass shootings happen where guns are not allowed. U have not figured it out

Watch Alex Jones interviewing Jim Garrow a former CIA agent O fired. Reason O wants gun control so O soldiers will kill us if we don’t comply. China using O as puppet. They want our land esp coal. O owes China alot of money and now they want payment. They can’t take America if we have guns.
philip reis says
the federal government is getting more communist every day. we have a so called leader who cares more about open borders and refugees than protecting American citizens. we have to make sure we keep our guns to protect ourselves from our privileged politicians with all their security paid for by us. do not let them take our guns, we will need them to defend our families against the scum our leader is letting into the U.S. please vote to get rid of this leader and his crew and take our country back.

If I had guns, I would not tell you and I would never give them up to a criminal like OBUMMER.

Simple thing to do is buy your guns before it goes into effect and buy a lot of ammo as well and if you try to fly somewhere after that and they stop you, contact the NRA or Law Shield and tell them you want them to support you suing the Government for wrongly placing you on the list. You will still have your firearms since I believe it only stops you from buying them not having them if you already do?
James says
Yes he wants to stop your second ammendment rights.
Then he wants to restrict your first ammendment rights.
He wants you to be arrested for talking about guns on the internet.
And Hillary Clinton is just as bad.
Constitutionalist says
Executive orders only lawfully apply to those in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, and NO ONE ELSE – and then, only as they are in compliance with the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution(Article 6).
Otherwise, we would have a king issuing commands. A presidential edict no more makes something lawful than a political body declaring that a river shall not exceed it’s banks during heavy rains will make it do so.
In America, Congress makes laws, the Executive branch carries them out, and the Judiciary ensures that all such laws are suboordinate to the Supreme Law – or at least, that’s how it used to be. Now that banking and other corporate entities are the owners of the USG, who the hell knows what is lawful or just anymore? Judges routinely usurp Congress and effectively make law; so does the President. The only way i have thought of to make that stop is to routinely arrest, try, convict, and permanently bar from any future employment on the public dime every sworn public servant who has betrayed the public trust by violating his/her oath of office.
Janet Lawrence says
We are a nation under God that fought to separate ourselves from the EU. Now our government is doing everything in its power to bring us into a one world government. Keep your guns and be ready to fight anyone who tries to take them from us. Once we give in we are doomed.
Sal says
Wouldn’t it be a shame if Bloomberg and Obama got shot by accident confiscating a criminals gun in NY and in doing so the bullet went through Bloomberg then hit Obama. What a shame tsk, tsk, tsk. They killed JFK for 100th of the shit Obama has already done.

The IRS targeting of Republican not-for-profits is a perfect example how bureaucracy can be abused to deprive groups their fundamental rights under law without any penalty for the abuse.

We have a DICTATOR who causes problems and claims he will fix them by voiding the CONSTITUTION .This criminal should have been IMPEACHED years ago. America contains a bunch of voting idiots controlled by the New World Order. As Jones calls it a “Prison Planet” now at least a prison country.
Joe Sanchez says
These two Clowns make me sick, the Black one is a phony lying Communist Bastard who can’t prove anything about himself and all the Communist like Bloomberg have spent millions on a huge criminal cover up like we have never seen. I believe when a few local police get shot or maybe a few Federal agents get shot trying to take people’s guns, might think about the 2nd Amendment that was written to protect us against a tyrannical government, and that’s exactly what we have right now.
When people say they will get my guns from my cold dead hand we mean it. The Veterans are getting crapped on, and millions are un-happy or Disabled who have nothing to lose, yours truly included.
tubby says
Oh Let them try and take our guns it will be a warzone in the streets. Only the sheeple will comply, the rest are ready to go to war. A civil war did not bode well for Abraham Lincoln, let’s see what civil war does for Obama. I would fire on “FEMA Patriots” who come to take my guns, like the last poster because I served my time was disabled and have nothing left to lose. I think that makes me dangerous!
ludlow porch says
It time for Americans to plot against Obama and Bloomberg for plotting to restrict our guns! Can I get a few million witnesses?
Glen says
Well since the Clown has got his way about global warming, he can now spend all his effort trying to figure out a way to gather all our guns.
Justin W says
Thanks to Lois Lerner’s time at the IRS it is safe to say conservative Christians will automatically be added to the terrorist watch list.
Were the San. Bernardino terrorists on a watch list the day before they went on their killing spree? Would such an executive order have prevented them from getting guns? The honest answer would probably be no to both questions. Terrorists don’t have to use guns. The Sept. 11 terrorists used cheap box cutters.
George says
Is it time for another Similar structure of Freedom action, as was necessary to maintain our freedoms like our Forefathers going against the English over 220 years ago?? And how will the powers that become able to confiscate any and all weapons, whether legal or not?? A new war may become at hand again!! Not what I would want to have to take into that consideration, BUT this may become a real problem. Think and pray about this. Impeachment would be a better resolution for this President, or we loose more Freedom and additional potentials of slavery, as this seems to be the mind set of the Democrates in this Congress now. Consider where we are right now !!

It really wouldn’t take but 3 or 4 good, patriotic congressmen to grab Odumbo and bodily through him down the White House steps, along with all of his illegal, arranged family and all their baggage, and either kick them all to the curb or make them face a firing squad for treason against our nation. But, alas, there aren’t that many real patriots in Congress with balls enough to do it. In fact, most all members of Congress and at least 5 Supreme Court Justices should join them, facing that firing squad for treason. Hopefully, if enough of us real patriots will eventually get together and pray to the real God, that this nation began under, He will someday bless us again. But, that will never happen again until America turns back to the one true God Who created it all. Sad but true, folks.
Joe says
People, I don’t like things the way they are now any more than you do. God is letting satan use these people by telling them a lie that they will believe. I pray that God still sees us as saveable. This country, my country, is not going to really get any better until we get on our knees, confess our sins and repent. I fear we are a stench in Gods nostrils. I pray it is Gods will to put a moral Christian man in office as president and not a lying deceiveing woman who is ready and willing to give us more of the same tripe she gave us as Sect. of state. There is really only one person to trust and He has proven it many times over, Jesus Christ. This country will not get any betteruntil we turn back to God. He has not turned His back on us, we have turned our backs on Him. These are the latter days and I pray you have made the right decision to have eternal life. It is the most important decision you will ever make. It is for an eternity.
Julie Lago says
I believe it was during her most recent vacation to china (without her treacherous mate!) that mooshell told the First Lady of that country that gun confiscation was their highest priority and they intended to fulfill that “goal” before leaving office. So which is it, moose? Climate confusion or dismembering The Constitution of The United States of America? Either way, your true intent and real purpose are the actions of a traitor and should be punished accordingly.
