First Lady Michelle Obama Compared Herself to Murdered Hadiya Pendleton … the 15 Year Old Girl Who was Murdered in Chicago After Attending Obama’s Second Inauguration

First Michelle Obama compared herself to a single mother, now the first lady is comparing herself to Hadiya Pendleton, the 15 year old school girl that was murdered in Chicago shortly after she had attended President Barack Obama’s Second Inauguration. The first lady was speaking, urging action to combat violence among young people in her hometown of Chicago and going so far as to suggest that she could have lost her life in urban violence. Huh? This was part of Michelle’s pitch for hubby’s gun grabbing and anti-Second Amendment gun legislation. Michelle Obama went on to say, “Hadiya Pendleton was me, and I was her”.

The lesser reported quote that Michelle made yesterday was  … “We Need a Vote”.  Hmm, using a child’s death for a gun legislation when the gun used in this child’s death was illegal.

“Hadiya Pendleton was me, and I was her,” said the first lady.

“Thousands of children in this city live in neighborhoods where a funeral for a teenager is considered unfortunate, but not unusual; where wandering onto the wrong block or even just standing on your own front porch can mean putting yourself at risk,” Michelle Obama told the Chicago crowd, according to a transcript provided by the White House.

“Those are the odds that so many young people are facing in this city –- young people like Hadiya Pendleton, whose funeral I attended back in February.  And we all know Hadiya’s story.  She was 15 years old, an honor student at King College Prep.  And she came from a good family -– two devoted parents, plenty of cousins, solid godparents and grandparents, an adoring little brother.  The Pendletons are hardworking people.  They’re churchgoing folks.  And Hadiya’s mother did everything she could for her daughter.  She enrolled her in every activity you could imagine -– cheerleading, majorettes, the praise dance ministry -– anything to keep her off the streets and keep her busy.

What is terrible is that any death of a young person is a bad thing, whether it be due to a gun, knife, bat or by hand. The problem is that inner city violence is a far different issue than the issue of background checks and ban on assault-style weapons. Inner city crime is far more than a gun issue and both Barack and Michelle Obama know it. The guns used in Chicago, where the city has the strictest gun laws in the US, are not legal ones. No law that Obama and Democrats are proposing will change anything in Chicago. It is a shame that Barack and Michelle cannot just be honest about this.

Colt Competition Maker of AR-15 Style Rifles for Colt Relocates to Breckenridge, TX from Oregon

According to CBS DFW, Colt Competition, the manufacturer of high end AR-15 rifles for the iconic gun manufacturer Colt is moving its firearms production to Breckenridge, Texas from Canby, Oregon. Previously, Governor Rick Perry reportedly sent letters to gun companies, encouraging them to move to the gun friendly and  2nd Amendment supporting state of Texas. It appears that one might have taken him up on his offer. It makes one wonder whether this will become a trend. Why would anyone want to keep a business in a liberal state that believes they are evil? I have just one word to say to all gun manufacturers, ammunition manufacturers and any company that has anything to do with the making and maintenance of a fire arm that presently resides in a blue, liberal. anti-Second Amendment states … MOVE!!!

AR-15 style rifles for the iconic brand Colt, will open a plant in Breckenridge in Stephens County. Oregon company Bold Ideas confirmed the development Friday.

Bold Ideas goes by the name Colt Competition, making high accuracy rifles for competition shooting.

The company has not officially announced the opening, but employment applications are already available at the Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce. A non-specific, help wanted ad appeared in the local newspaper classifieds earlier in the week.

Be very careful Connecticut, after passing your anti-Second Amendment gun legislation, COLT will hopefully be next to leave.

Charles Krauthammer Tells FOX Special Report Panel that President Barack Obama Has Lost the Main Gun Control Battle and “All He Wants Now is the Money.”

File this one under, why is everyone so shocked, surprised and quiet … Obama has always been about the “money” and the “issue,” not solving any problems.

Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer rendered his fellow Fox News panelists on ‘Special Report’ momentarily speechless after he said that President Barack Obama had lost the main gun control battle and “all he wants now is the money”. Just curious, what did Krauthammer say that was so shocking? Has even Fox News become that liberal? I mean we all know Chris Wallace is a lib, but why wouldn’t the other panelists believe Obama was just in it for the money? For a socialist, he does like the $’s that are brought in on issues rather than actually solving America’s problems.

From The Blaze:

“All he wants now is the money,” Krauthammer said to several seconds of total silence.

“You don’t really mean that,” host Chris Wallace finally broke in.

“He’s lost on gun control,” Krauthammer insisted, saying that even if the bill includes expanded background checks — the “last item standing” — it’s “not going to make any difference.”

“Knowing all that, he is out there now exploring it as an issue. He is not going to get the solution he wanted, so he’ll make an issue. And that’s the way he operates. He does it on immigration. He does it on a lot of stuff. If you can’t win on a solution or get your way, you turn it into cash. He is excellent at turning stuff into cash.”

The fact of the matter is that no one should be shocked at what Obama does anymore.

Tyranny: U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms Revokes License of Gun Shop that Legally Sold Weapon to Mother of Adam Lanza Used in Newtown Elementary School Shootings

Be very afraid America, think the United States government does not participate in intimidation and tyranny, think again …

As reported at Reuters, the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has revoked the license to the Connecticut gun retailer that sold a weapon “LEGALLY” to the mother of Adam Lanza. That same gun was used illegally by Adam Lanza in the mass murders to kill his mother by shooting her in the face and then used to kill 26 individuals, including 20 children at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. The ATF has confirmed that the Riverview Gun Sales in East Windsor, Connecticut license has been revoked. The ATF did not publicly disclose a reason for the closure. HUH, this is still America, is it not?

The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said on Friday it had revoked the federal license of a Connecticut gun retailer that sold a weapon to the mother of Adam Lanza, who killed 26 people at an elementary school in December. The agency on December 20 revoked the license of Riverview Gun Sales in East Windsor, Connecticut, ATF spokeswoman Debora Seifert said. The revocation was reported in The Journal News, of Westchester County, New York, on Friday. “We did revoke their federal firearms license,” she said. The agency did not publicly disclose a reason for the closure.

Welcome to Obama’s Union of Soviet Socialist Republics of America. How is it that the US government can  take a businesses license that has violated no law that we know of and provide no explanation or reason for the closure? This is the definition of tyranny. As stated at Weasel Zippers, this is done to intimidate and provide a scare tactic to other gun stores that sell a legal product to other legal and law abiding citizens. How is a gun store responsible for legally selling a legal product and the irresponsibility of the buyer? This is how tyrannical our federal government has become. They will hunt you down and make an example out of you if you dare do not agree with their liberal, anti-Second Amendment agenda.

Clueless Democrat Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette Behind House Bill To Ban Large Gun Magazines Has No Idea How They Work, Thinks Magazines Can’t Be Reloaded … Responds to Constituent, “You’d probably be dead, anyway.”

STUCK ON STUPID … UNREAL … THESE ARE THE IDIOTS THAT ARE PUSHING GUN LAWS.

As reported at The Daily Caller,  Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette, the lead Democratic sponsor of a federal bill to ban high-capacity magazines has no clue how a gun magazine works. From her comments DeGette has literally no idea that a magazine could be reloaded and reused. What else would we expect from a dim-whit liberal Democrat who has no knowledge or business discussing a topic she knows nothing about, yet wants to force her liberal gun-grabbing, Anti-Second Amendment agenda on you? Diana DeGette’s comments are stunningly ignorant, even for a liberal Democrat.

Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette, the lead Democratic sponsor of a federal bill to ban high-capacity magazines, is apparently unaware that such magazines can be reloaded and reused, according to a comment she made at a Denver Post-sponsored forum on gun control on Tuesday.

When asked how limiting the number of bullets in magazines would help reduce violence, she replied: “I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those now, they’re going to shoot them. So if you ban them in the future, the number of these high-capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time, because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available.”

Some audience members laughed, but gun-rights advocates weren’t amused.

Colorado GOP spokesman Owen Loftus told the Denver Post,  “It’s extremely alarming that Rep. DeGette is running federal legislation to ban magazine clips, when she doesn’t even know what a magazine clip is.” A note to the GOP spokesman so he does not sound as ignorant as DeGette, there is a difference between a magazine and a clip, STOP USING THE TERM LIKE THEY ARE THE SAME!!!

Weasel Zippers seconds the motion,  it is scary to think someone this clueless on firearms want to write the laws governing them. Actually, it is pretty typical from those on the LEFT who want to inflict their ignorance on others.

As if this woman’s incompetence was not bad enough, her wise-ass comment to one of her constituents who asked her how he could defend himself against a home intrusion given the restrictions.  Diana DeGette made matters worse when she responded, “Good news for you.”  “You live in Denver, the DPD [Denver Police Department] would be there within minutes. . . . You’d probably be dead, anyway.”

I would not let this woman pass legislation on a water gun, let alone federal gun legislation. What kind of morons are being elected to Congress?  Maybe we need background checks on Congress before they can run for election to see if they are actually competent in anything.
