President Barack Obama stood outside the White House last week and lamented the defeat of the expanded background check bill in the Senate. He stood there, repeating over and over how 90 percent of all Americans wanted such a law and how it wouldn’t have infringed on the rights of a single American. He called the pro-gun lobby liars for calling it registration.
Mr. President, you are the liar!
Obama can say that the bill outlawed a registry, but to what effect? Congress passes and overrides laws all the time. He knows this. Anyone with a single course in civics knows this as well. To tout this as proof that there will never be a registry is disingenuous at best…and with this president, I don’t see the best.
You see, when a paper trail is put in place for every gun purchase, or even a huge majority of them, you have created a de facto registry. Oh, I understand that it’s held at the gun stores, but for how long? No one said that this bill created a registry, but we knew it would make a registry just that much easier.
President Obama argues that if 90 percent of Americans support expanded background checks, it should go through. However, that number is based on a single question that left the interpretation open to the person being polled. Some would think it just means expanding the process to make sure the mentally ill can’t purchase guns. For others, it’s complete registration. There’s a lot of wiggle in there.

It certainly makes you wonder what is going on after all the media against guns , we have a few terrorist attacks.
Just wonder if these were a planned event by our very high up leaders. Nothing would surprise me now.
Our dictator and chief has the power to do anything without blinking an eye.
He will face a higher judge in time.
So are you saying that the bill did NOT contain language outlawing the registry?
Background checks? Obama?
Slightly oxymoronic yes????
If we let a Marxist be president why not allow Muslim terrorists in the country?
Our so called president wouldn't know the truth if it struck him down.
He has our country on the edge of collapse and he gives away so much that the fools reelected him so he can finish us off. Only in America.
Such disrespect for the President of the United States who was re-elected by a clear majority. Shameful....
10:09 Not a clear majority. Obviously you are a government school product. When did 51% become a CLEAR majority? At least 5% of the vote was fraudulent especially in the big cities and swing states. Nice try. Plus this excuse of a president is the worst I have ever seen, and I thought Jimmy Carter was bad. Hard to respect a communist and a Muslim for president.
10:09 I have more disrespect for the ignorant people that voted for this liar. If you are one of them, welcome to my list.
He was elected by the large cities, a very clear majority of them. In rural areas, the exact opposite. Also in both elections he was facing a weak opponent and still only garnered 51%. Not a mandate, clear majority, nothing.
