Obama's High Tech Gun Grab

President Barack Obama announced new steps Friday to help curb gun violence, including by identifying the requirements that “smart guns” would have to meet for law enforcement agencies to buy and use them as well as sharing mental health records with the federal background check system. 

As Obama unveiled a plan last January to expand federal background checks for gun purchases, he directed the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security and Justice to conduct or sponsor research into smart-gun technology. Obama also instructed the agencies to regularly review the availability of such technology and to promote its use. 

In a report released Friday, the Justice and Homeland Security departments said they expect to complete the work of identifying the smart-gun requirements by October. 

“Many gun injuries and deaths are the result of legal guns that were stolen, misused, or discharged accidentally,” Obama said. “As long as we’ve got the technology to prevent a criminal from stealing and using your smartphone, then we should be able to prevent the wrong person from pulling a trigger on a gun.”

This has nothing to do with "gun safety", the left's new buzz word to camouflage their real intentions of disarming Americans to allow leftists to instill Marxism.

Just like they were able to change the working definition of "self-loader" to "semi-automatic"

Just wait until it is 100% fully linked to your medical records like everything will soon be, and wait until those doctors start asking do you own a gun question to you or your kids... Then be on the look out for false claims that you do own guns or have some disorder... Wham-o no more guns for you...

The current liberal socialist leaning administration is a worthless POS. They don't care about our rights - or the constitution - they simply want to further their control agenda!

November cometh - January endeth the current error!
