GUN CONTROL EGG ON OBAMA'S FACE

We're all aware of the fact that Emperor Barack Hussein Obama is bound and determined to outlaw personal possession of guns in this country.  He evidently even authorized Eric Holder to engineer Fast & Furious whereby border gun shop owners were asked to sell guns to Mexican drug cartels, ostensibly to be able to track the weapons to cartel members but really intended to show America how illegal guns sales were taking place on the border, thereby adding to the Administration impetus to outlaw gun sales. Once a Congressional investigation got started into the details, everyone in the Administration clammed up.  That's why I say, "evidently."  They haven't provided access to records and documents to refute that supposition.   

Then there was that horrible school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.  Right away, Obama and Holder and all of the self-righteous Marxist liberals in the country demanded gun control.  After all, they argued, legally owned guns are ending up in the hands of violent criminals; we need a really tight national system of control over gun ownership.  

Enter the National Park Service and the embarrassing revelation that it cannot account for thousands of firearms, (rifles, shotguns and pistols), supposedly in its inventory.  While surveying Park Police field office armories, investigators found more than 1,400 extra and unassigned weapons that were intended to be destroyed. They also found 198 handguns that were transferred from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and stored in an operations facility firearms room without being recorded in an inventory system. There are also instances of officers storing service weapons at their homes, according to the report.

So, here we have a President demanding that we have a strict national gun control law, and he can't even keep track of his own weapons.  I, myself, know of an instance where Bureau of Indian Affairs weapons were inadvertently left behind in a tribal law enforcement facility; several years passed and, when the BIA was contacted about what to do with the weapons, BIA officials were at a loss to determine why the guns were there.  That means to me that they have no inventory control, either. 

Let's see, National Park Service, BIA, DOJ, DHS, USDA... how many guns do you suppose are not accounted for?  And, how many of them have ended up in the hands of criminals? 

I wonder how Barack is going to try and slide out of this mess? 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
