The 5.56 Ammo Ban Is An Trojan Horse To Get Around The Second Amendment. Also The Government Is Buying As Much Ammo As Possible To Make It Expensive.

Did You See This? What Obama’s Press Secretary Said the 5.56 Ammo Ban Is Really About

This should get you pretty upset.

While speaking about the 5.56 ammo ban, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the point of the new executive order was to keep guns out of people’s hands.

Yes, that’s what he said.

You can see the video below.

Look at the :20 second mark.

Here’s what Gun Owners of America wrote:

A smirking White House spokesman Josh Earnest couldn’t conceal his glee, yesterday, as he reveled in the trick Obama had played on the Second Amendment movement.

Think back to April 17, 2013, when the Senate killed the Feinstein amendment to ban the AR-15 by a vote of 60-40. This fell 20 votes short of the needed 60, even though Democrats controlled the Senate at the time. But now Obama is trying to effectively ban the AR-15 by “regulatory fiat” by banning the most common ammunition used in that firearm, M855 ammunition.

But a gushing Earnest was unrepentant: “The President has long believed that there are some commonsense steps that we can take … taking some commonsense steps to prevent people who shouldn’t have guns from getting guns.”

There are a couple of things which are interesting about this statement:

(1) Certainly the first is the Orwellian use of “Bloomberg-speak” — using the gun control nuts’ “commonsense steps” jargon TWICE IN THE SAME SENTENCE. To try to come up with an analogy would be almost impossible, but it’s as though a Gestapo soldier was so stuck in a discredited pattern of behavior that he gave a Hitler salute at his war crimes tribunal.

(2) The second is a Freudian slip, but it says volumes: Earnest talks about keeping GUNS out of the hands of “inappropriate” persons.

But hold on a second: This was supposedly a ban on AMMUNITION, not a ban on guns. But, as Earnest made clear — however haplessly — this is an effort to BAN GUNS by banning ammunition used in guns.

So what is to be done?

Over and over again — on immigration, on ObamaCare, on guns, on the Internet — Obama ignores any legal or constitutional restraints on his actions. And then he dares congressional Republicans to do anything about it — and mocks and laughs at them in the process.

But Senate Republicans do have leverage. And they are in a position to deprive Obama of something he very much wants — that is, holding a vote on the nomination of Loretta Lynch to be Attorney General.

Lynch is a leftist, anti-gunner and she deceived Senators on the Judiciary Committee with respect to gun control, making it as clear as a bell that she intended to continue and expand Eric Holder’s unlawful executive actions and gun bans.

Imagine a nominee for Attorney General claiming that she was “not familiar” with the gun legislation that was hotly debated in the public square for months after the Sandy Hook shooting. While taking questions from Senators in the Judiciary Committee, Lynch refused to give her opinion on universal background checks which, similar to the Toomey-Manchin language, would have effectively imposed a universal gun registry on millions of Americans.

Furthermore, it also seems clear that Lynch is being groomed to replace Supreme Court Justices Anthony Kennedy or Antonin Scalia — which would turn the court into an anti-gun juggernaut.

Republican Leader Mitch McConnell can put the Lynch nomination on hold by simply refusing to bring her up. And while Senate Republicans should ultimately oppose her nomination, they should urge McConnell (at a minimum) to let her nomination languish without a vote.

So why don’t they? Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and a liberal anti-gun press are laughing at the GOP. And it’s time the GOP showed a little backbone.

The only thing that can be done at this point is to get in touch with your senators and have them do what they can to oppose the nomination of Loretta Lynch as well as work to get the ammo ban reversed.

Make sure they know just how important your 2nd amendment rights are to you, and how their position in office is only guaranteed when they stand up for the constitution.

Right now the only recourse Americans have legally is to defer to the power of their elected representatives to fulfill their oath to office.

Obama’s going to do all he can in the next two years to strip you of your rights. Fight back.

Do you think all hope is lost?

Or is there still a fighting chance to get the ban reversed?
