Obama's claims on Internet gun sales and gun show loopholes one big lie or is he misinformed?



Yesterday while eating lunch my normal programming was interrupted by Mr Obama and his Executive Orders.  I was quite interested in how he was going to Combat illegal gun sales, keeping guns out of the hands of people with mental disorders, and mass shootings.  It was lame from the start.  First off blaming Internet Gun Sales and the infamous Gun Show Loop Hole.  After hearing that it was blah blah blah, or the sound for adults in the Charlie Brown cartoons.

Here is the President of the United States making false statements like a blabbering liberal on Facebook. (Oh wait he recently joined Facebook didn't he?). Screaming about something and not having the facts.  It has been said by him and and mainstream media that 40% of Online Gunwales forego background checks.  Though its been less than 24 hours everyone that I have asked from the President on down that is circulating this supposed fact no one can or has given me an answer to what web sites let alone who did the survey etc etc etc.  I also have to wonder if he will be outlawing Glocks next because they're a polymer pistol and can't be seen in an X-Ray and won't be detected in a metal detector. (Sarcasm)

I really think he is misinformed, or he is just a puppet of Mike Bloomberg.  In my experience with Internet sales from actual stores J&G, CDNN, Sarco and others, either I have had to send/Fax a copy of my C&R FFL and if the gun qualified have it sent directly to me, or if it was a Modern Firearm I would have my Local gun store fax/send a copy of their 01 FFL, the store would then send them my weapon, I then fill out the state and federal forms, show 2 forms of Identification, then I am submitted for an NICS background check and off I go.

I have also bought from market places like Guns America, Gun broker and others.  I have done business with gun stores and individuals alike on these sites.  The same procedures as with the Internet Gun Stores have been adhered to in every case be it C&R guns or Modern Firearms.

Another source of gun purchases for me is Gun Shows.  I have never witnessed the gun show loophole that President Obama has talked about.  Either my FFL has been submitted for C&R weapons or for modern firearms forms filled out, 2 ID's, and an NICS background check.

Here is where I have witnessed the possibility of a loophole.  I have been to yard sales and have seen shotguns, revolvers or an occasional hunting rifle for sale and ammo.  I have never personally seen assault weapons or semi auto pistols.  Also an exception to this is Hillsville Virginia's world largest flea market.

Right now in lay man's terms the law states that if you are a private seller/buyer and if the sale goes over stateliness (interstate transaction) the sale has to go through an FFL.  However if it is an instate private purchase/sale  (and on advisement from the local office of the BATFE verify by drivers license) all you have to have is reason to believe that the persons conducting the transaction are able to own a firearm sign a bill of sale and that is it.


Personally I think Mr Obama and Mr Bloomberg are grabbing at straws, and have never been to a gun show and attempted to buy a gun or tried to make an Internet purchase of a gun.  So something they don't understand right away is bad and when attached to gun is really bad.  So they attack it.  Now I am not about to say that illegal stuff does not happen, because it does, and in all the cases that I have been made aware of personally the ATF got them.  With the executive orders given yesterday again Mr Obama is just spinning his wheels.

A Common Sense Approach to Gun Control

I don't know if President Obama has signed his Executive Order Gun Control Measures yet.  However I have a suggestion or two that might be able to clear this all up if someone would listen.  I am all for keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, the criminally insane, and people with issues that would cause themselves harm or other people.  What I am against is this administration and its way of disregarding the legislative branch of government and its Obama appointed judicial branch.   Also I think its the old cowboy and a rope joke.  Give someone a foot of rope and they think they are a cowboy till they hang themselves.  What I'm afraid of here is that the cowboy is actually going to hang us.

On January 16th 2013 about a month after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December 2012 Mr Obama signed 23 Executive Orders on gun control that would prevent mass shootings in his mind.  However it seems that the mass shootings have increased.  In this and itself if I had signed those executive orders on gun control I would have to say to myself "Hmm that didn't work, what do I do now."  My answer to this is well I gotta make some decisions that target the guys that don't obey the law instead of the law-abiding citizen.

In reality here in 2016 I think it has to do with Leadership rather than Good vs Evil, etc etc etc.  Let me back up to about 20 or more years ago.  Ed Koch (D) was the Mayor of NYC and he came out with his commercials of if you are caught with an illegal handgun in NYC it will be a mandatory one year sentence.  To me it seemed at the time that crime went up, unarmed and law abiding citizens became victims.  (Except for Bernard Goetz).  Also at this time NYC was a cesspool, and was going bankrupt.  You walked the streets there wondering am I going to get mugged?  Then Rudy Giualiani (R) took over.  Cleaned the place up, crime went down and you could walk the streets care free.  Then Replaced by democrats in 2001, Michael Bloomberg, and now Bill De Blasio the city is again slipping back into its former self from the early 90s.

California, Home of Diane Feinstein and Nancy "We gotta pass it so we can read it" Pelosi.  A haven for Democrats has some of the strictest gun laws in the land.  We just had San Bernadino where Muslim Extremists shot up a Christmas office party.  There were a few others but most of all isn't California the home of gangs?  Bloods, crypts, MS-13 and others that are doing drive by shootings and other gun violence.

Chicago Illinois under the control of former Obama right hand man Rob Emmanuel (D).  Another city under Democrat control with very tough Gun Control Laws.  The state didn't start issuing concealed carry permits until January 2014.  Again the city is crumbling around the mayor and gun violence is up.

The United States as a whole has a problem with gun Violence when a Democrat is President.  Bill Clinton's presidency brought us the Assault Weapons Ban along with governing of magazine capacities and other things.  Gun violence went up.  It seemed like every other month some postal worker was shooting up a post office.  Then there was the 1999 Seattle Shipyard shooting, the Xerox shootings, and The Columbine shootings.

Since the Obama Legacy is fresh in everyone's minds I won't go into that.

To me sitting on the sidelines the start of the fall when Democrats take charge is that they start giving away free stuff at a limited rate for a limited time.  Then flaunt what they are doing for the little guy.  Then screw everyone else above the little guy to pay for the free stuff for the little guy.  The little guy then climbs out of his hole and then gets to where the next rung is and has to start paying taxes, and work for a living.  Then after a year or so too much money is going into this hole so they stop the benefit, and start charging the little guy for the benefit and double everybody else that is already paying.  (Sound Familiar)  Which then causes resentment and worry.  For someone that is already in dire straits this way of government can easily push someone over the edge as we see so often under Democrat administrations.

My cure for this:

Have Obama Resign

Outlaw the Democrat Party in the US

There won't be any gun control issues.  Everyone will have their rights and everyone will have to work and pay their fair share.
