Latest Facebook Gun Nut/Obama Hater Picture Making The Rounds



And here's my response to it: "If you are implying that you'd like to enact a new law making it a requirement for all gun owners to undergo the exact same weapons training and testing requirements that all Secret Service members do, I'd be in favor of that."

Before I chimed in, the usual right-wing know-nothings were clapping like trained seals and barking about what a hypocrite Obama is. Since then, it's been nothing but the sound of crickets chirping.

..............I really liked how all the Secret Service members with all their guns prevented Reagan from being shot and Kennedy from being killed. Did ANY Secret Service person so much as discharge a single shot EITHER time?

things might have been different. The conventions draft of rights was a bit different..

That the people have a right to keep and bear arms; that a well-regulated militia, including the body of the people capable of bearing arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free state.

That the militia should not be subject to martial law, except in time of war, rebellion, or insurrection.

That standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and ought not to be kept up, except in cases of necessity; and that at all times the military should be under strict subordination to the civil power.

That, in time of peace, no soldier ought to be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner, and in time of war only by the civil magistrate, in such manner as the laws may direct.

SS have weeks of well rounded training.. and rightly so. They have an important job for which I very much appreciate their service.

For officers, this is followed by a 14-week specialized training at the Secret Service's training facilities outside Washington, D.C. Training includes coursework in police procedures, firearms, physical fitness, psychology, police-community relations, criminal law, first aid, laws of arrest, search and seizure, physical defense techniques, diplomatic immunity, international treaties and protocol. On-the-job training and advanced in-service training programs complement classroom studies.

Teabaggers are such simple thinkers.
