Obama’s USA Service Website Hosts Gun “Buy Back” Event

The usaservice.org website was originally set in place to facilitate Obama’s “call to service” on the national Martin Luther King Day of Service, a federally mandated “holiday” cooked up by Congress and Bill Clinton in 1994. “Individuals, businesses, non-profits, and churches from Baptist to Mormon to Scientologist are employing the site to publicize events and recruit volunteers,” writes Mark Bergin for World, a Christian magazine. “In many ways, such online organizing and activity is a picture of compassionate conservatism: privately initiated and funded opportunities to render social services.”

As it turns out, usaservice.org is being used as a platform for activity that is anything but the picture of compassionate conservatism. In the “Health & Public Safety” section of the website, there is a post for a gun “buy back” event that was presumably held in Chicago on Sunday, February 15. Bryan Garcia, host of the event, offered to pay $1,500 per gun and $6,000 for four guns. “We will prevent hundreds of people being shot from gang violence and other forms of gun violence,” writes Garcia. “The money given these anonymous gun donors has to be high, high enough to outweigh the need for gun owners.”
Illinois has some of the most restrictive firearm laws in the country. In order to possess or purchase firearms or ammunition, Illinois residents must have a Firearm Owner’s Identification card, which is issued by the state police. In Chicago, it is required that all firearms be registered with the local police department. Handguns are strictly outlawed and in Cook County so-called “assault weapons” and magazines that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition are banned.
Earlier gun “buy back” programs in Chicago resulted in a record number of residents turning in guns for far less money. Reportedly 6,705 weapons were turned in for a “no questions asked” program in 2007. In 2008, Mayor Daley told Chicagoans that having a gun in their homes is “like having gasoline sitting in your home, sitting there, and you’re lighting a wick every night and you’re wondering whether or not it’s going to go off, and it goes off like that in your hand.” Daley’s irrational propaganda campaign resulted in the collection of 6,000 guns.

It is safe to say the gun buy back event posted on Obama’s USA Service was vetted by the moderators of the site. It is no secret that Obama and his supporters are militantly opposed to gun ownership and the Second Amendment.
“As a general principle, I believe that the Constitution confers an individual right to bear arms,” Obama said during the election campaign. “But just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can’t constrain the exercise of that right,” an obvious reference to Chicago’s anti-gun legislation. In 1996, when Obama was running for the Illinois state Senate, he supported a ban on the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns, a ban on “assault weapons” (that is to say all semi-automatic weapons), and mandatory waiting periods and background checks.
Earlier this week, Obama’s attorney general, Eric Holder, said “there are just a few gun-related changes” the Obama administration wants to make, including a reinstitution of a ban on the sale of assault weapons. Holder insisted restricting the Second Amendment would “have a positive impact in Mexico,” where drug cartel violence has taken a high toll. In 1994, president Clinton signed a law outlawing so-called assault weapons with a clause requiring congressional reauthorization after ten years. Congress allowed the legislation to expire in 2004.
During his confirmation hearings, Holder said he favors outlawing certain kinds of firearms and ammunition.
“Last week, over 50 Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to President Obama urging him to enforce a ban on importing assault weapons, citing rising gun violence in Mexico,” CBS News reports. “The Sinaloa Cartel, which Holder was discussing at yesterday’s press conference, is involved in drug and weapons trafficking in the U.S. and Mexico.”
Obama has pledged to to make the assault weapons ban permanent and promised to push for childproofing guns. He said he wanted to close the gun show loophole, which permits sales of firearms at gun shows without requiring a background check.
Many Americans know the election of Obama and Democrat domination of Congress will translate into more restrictive gun laws. After the election, firearm dealers reported sharply higher sales. According to FBI figures for the week of November 3 to 9, the bureau received more than 374,000 requests for background checks on gun purchasers, a nearly 49 percent increase over the same period in 2007, CNN reported. Many stores ran out of models deemed to be “assault weapons,” including the AR-15 rifle.
USA Service’s posting of a gun “buy back” event is yet another indication that Obama and his supporters will continue their assault against the idea of gun ownership and the Second Amendment. If Obama, AG Holder, and the Democrat dominated Congress have their way, the entire country will resemble Chicago, where handguns are illegal and other firearms are strictly regulated.
In the book “Lethal Laws,” published by Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership, we learn that authoritarian governments invariably disarmed their citizens. “The recipe for accomplishing this goal went as follows: demonizing of guns, registration, then banning and confiscation, and finally total civilian disarmament. Enslavement of the people then followed with limited resistance, as was the case in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Red China, Cuba and other totalitarian regimes of the 20th century,” writes Miguel A. Faria Jr.
The demonizing phase of this process is already in effect, as demonstrated by Bryan Garcia’s post on the usaservice.org website. Garcia assumes that the mere possession of firearms will result in murder and mayhem. Obama, Holder, and the Democrats are now pushing for the registration and banning of firearms. Confiscation and total disarmament will soon follow.

These gun opponent nuts never give up. They should be afraid. The world’s anti-freedom, anti-choice religious and political leaders that is. They are afraid that their tyranny will be usurped and they themselves will be put out of their misery. I don’t see what the big deal is for a law-abiding citizen to own a firearm that “may never be used” except for target practice or hunting. What’s wrong with having a weapon for self defense if needed? We can’t all defend ourselves as well as Bruce Lee did. If enough of us could. The world’s dictators would outlaw martial arts as well I suppose. Will the legalized thugs outlaw dirt next? I’ve got the right to throw dirt in an opponent’s eyes if I can’t defend myself otherwise. I will do just that. Gun or no gun. Try and stop me! I guess all acts of self defense will eventually become illegal. I for one will not allow mind-controlled zombies incapacitate, maim or kill me. To the gun owners’ opponents and politicians around the world. Keep the criminal illegal aliens and the drug crazed, brainwashed hoodlums of your creation away from the rest of society. That way fewer lives would end senselessly or ever be in jeopardy to begin with. And keep the violent, repeat offenders in jail where they belong!

$6,000 for four guns? I’m in! I should be able to buy 10 guns with that much cash!

“From my COLD DEAD HANDS!” – Charlton Heston
Wise man. My favorite, though, is still the opening dialogue from ‘Planet of the Apes’.
“And that completes my final report until we reach touchdown. We’re now on full automatic, in the hands of the computers. I have tucked my crew in for the long sleep and I’ll be joining them soon. In less than an hour, we’ll finish our sixth month out of Cape Kennedy. Six months in deep space – by our time, that is. According to Dr. Haslein’s theory of time, in a vehicle travelling nearly the speed of light, the Earth has aged nearly 700 years since we left it, while we’ve aged hardly at all. Maybe so. This much is probably true – the men who sent us on this journey are long since dead and gone. You who are reading me now are a different breed – I hope a better one. I leave the 20th century with no regrets. But one more thing – if anybody’s listening, that is. Nothing scientific. It’s purely personal. But seen from out here everything seems different. Time bends. Space is boundless. It squashes a man’s ego. I feel lonely. That’s about it. Tell me, though. Does man, that marvel of the universe, that glorious paradox who sent me to the stars, still make war against his brother? Keep his neighbor’s children starving?”

Subject: Jewish Gun Legislators
Yes, it is sad and all too true. There is one web site that does scold my fellow Jews for being so anti-second amenment; and, should have every reason to be pro-second amendment.
Please visit JPFO.Org. This is Jews for the Preservation of Firearms. There is some good news about some of us Jews in that there are some out there who do own and practice with their firearms; and you can depend and rely on us to stand with you. In other words, we will show up if you should need or want us.

Hey Obama, I’ll keep my guns, YOU KEEP THE CHANGE!
What part of “shall not be infringed” don’t you understand?
Actually I would bring in 4 “piece of shit” guns for $6000 then go buy some better ones.
Daley’s quote about gasoline makes me wonder if he is afraid to buy it to put in his car. I’ve never had a can of gas light itself on fire or a gun pull it’s own trigger.
Of course gun control works, that’s why Washington DC, Chicago and New York City have the lower crime… because they have the most gun control. RIGHT ? Well, so much for that theory.

If anyone comes to take my gun away, I will shoot them in the face, then hunt down their family and to the same to them. was I not clear?
