Daily Caller: Michelle Obama’s warning to gun owners

[Patricia M. McBride]

This is an older article but it does highlight the absolute reason we can not allow Obama to get re-elected.  Should he get re-elected, chances are very good he would appoint another supreme court justice, and any rights we have would be done away with the challenges to anything the future congress' and presidents implement.  And the supreme court justices would impact our lives for years and years to come and could so dramatically change our country, the only recourse would be another revolution as our countrymen revolted from English tyranny and threw off those chains holding us slaves.  Better to revolt using the ballot boxes in November fellow patriots and to get out and make sure our family, friends, and neighbors also do the same.

Nearly three years into President Obama’s first term in office, Michelle Obama finally said something with which I can agree.

At a recent fundraiser for President Obama’s re-election campaign in Providence, Rhode Island, the first lady told her audience:

“We stand at a fundamental crossroads for our country. You’re here because you know that in just 13 months, we’re going to make a choice that will impact our lives for decades to come … let’s not forget what it meant when my husband appointed those two brilliant Supreme Court justices … let’s not forget the impact that their decisions will have on our lives for decades to come.”

This was music to the ears of the small, affluent crowd of admirers who cheered and applauded. But to gun owners, Michelle Obama’s remarks should sound like a warning bell, alerting us to the danger ahead should Barack Obama win re-election and get the opportunity to alter the current make-up of the Supreme Court.

When Americans flock to the polls in 13 months, we will not simply decide which direction our country should take over the next four years. Rather, we will decide whether or not our fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms will survive over the next several decades.

Currently, the Second Amendment clings to a 5-4 pro-freedom majority on the Supreme Court. Just one vote is all that stands between the America our Founding Fathers established and a radically different America that Barack Obama and his supporters envision.
