How to attack the 2ndA with government funding

[Jamie6.5]

By President obama.
I've read about these anti-gun provisions in obama's new budget twice now, from two different sources. This one, and a NRA-ILA piece.
These things make me wonder how any gun toting supporter of 2nd Amendment rights can vote for this guy a second time.

MILLER: Obama's fast and furious spin - Washington Times

In November, the president signed the Justice Department appropriations bill, which included language from Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, prohibiting federal agencies from facilitating the transfer of an operable firearm to an individual known or suspected to be in a drug cartel, unless they monitor the weapon at all times.

Now Mr. Obama is proposing to remove that provision from the 2013 spending bill, thus making it legal to revive gun-walking operations in the future. The White House justification is merely that the prohibition is “not necessary.”

Mr. Obama’s budget contains other gun-grabbing surprises. The White House is looking to reclaim authority to destroy surplus M1 Garand rifles and M1 Carbines. For 30 years, the Defense Department has been blocked from scrapping these collectible firearms that served our soldiers well in World War II and the Korean War. The administration also wants to melt down the military’s spent brass casings, thwarting gun owners who have been buying and recycling the surplus materials.

The president’s budget would also restore millions in funding to the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control so they can pump out junk science studies claiming handguns are a public health hazard.

It's one thing to voice his disdain for gun owners and our activities. It's another to put policies in effect, through back-door practices, that intentionally subvert the will of the people and our representatives in Congress.

But, but, but our gun rights have actually expanded under obama. That's just the right-wing media spinning their racist garbage, what do you expect from the washing times? The NRA is just saying what the big corporations want them to say so they can continue to get rich. The 1% are running the show and want you to hate obama so they lie about his love for the 2nd Amendment.

Pretty close. But it's not like Obama consistently voted for gun control and even sponsored bills.

Oh wait he did. He doesn't even believe you should have a handgun to defend your home if the local laws prohibit it. At least Chicago doesn't have any crime.

Obama Record May Be Gold Mine For Critics - CBS News

Obama regularly supported gun-control measures, including a ban on semiautomatic "assault weapons" and a limit on handgun purchases to one a month.

He also opposed letting people use a self-defense argument if charged with violating local handgun bans by using weapons in their homes. The bill was a reaction to a Chicago-area man who, after shooting an intruder, was charged with a handgun violation.

The best indicator of future actions is past behavior.
